Zeitgeist #1
“We do understand”
“Already it is clear…”
“No could have predicted”
“Whack-a-mole”
“Watermelon Smiles’
“Letterboxes”
“Get Brexit done”
“Oven ready deal”
“Some supply chain issues”
“Take back control”
“Our Sovereignty”
“Hands,face,space”
“Long term interest”
“No need to panic buy”
“Stark warning”
“Our unreserved apology”

Send In The Clowns
In front of a bookcase and a Union Jack
Not saying it –But send them all back
To keep us entertained amid these trying times
They send in the clowns, to keep us in line
Oh-Oh, What can you tell us?
Oh-Oh, What can you sell us?
Like a children’s entertainer with a vacuous smile
Look into their eyes and see the crocodile
We buy into it, again and again
Send in the clowns, to numb the pain
Oh-Oh, What can you tell us?
Oh-Oh, What can you sell us?
It’s always the same, it’s always the same
This whole Country seems to have gone insane
Was it always like this? I just can’t recall
They send in the clowns, then the Foot-Ball.
Oh-Oh, What can you tell us?
Oh-Oh, What can you sell us?
There is a reason, there is a rhyme
But it’s not for us to know the reason why
From the moment you are born
Until the day you die
They send in a clown in a suit & tie
They send in a clown in a suit & tie
They send in a clown in a suit & tie.

I’ll Wait
What really annoys you?
-I’ll wait
Is this a question?
-Or bait?
Does the nature of this song really grate?
-I’ll wait
What was your first car?
What was the first name of your Ma?
Who is your favourite star??
-I’ll wait
Have you had a D.U.I?
You want to know –Why?
After my password on the sly??
Some kind of fool am I ?
Nice try.
You’ll have to wait
A LONG FUCKING TIME.

Meet the Sleazys
Meet the Sleazys
Her, they & him
Say Hello!
You voted them in
The Daily Fail told you
Which way to go
And now we bask
In their sickly glow
Meet the Sleazys
They do as they please
And why not?
We’re all on our knees
The people stopped caring
Some time ago
When that Commie with a beard
Offended us so
Meet the Sleazys
They are pigs in shit
Chowing down
And rolling in it
Don’t say we didn’t warn yer
You didn’t want to be told
They put a ring through your nose
And dragged you away from the gold
Meet The Sleazys
You just can’t win
When ignorance keeps on
Inviting them in
Some may say,
People are starting see
But the blinkers are still on
I do believe
Meet the Sleazys
Corruption’s the norm
Not to be trusted
In any way shape or form
If on occasion, you get upset
Well, don’t complain when it rains
And you get wet
Meet the Sleazys
Her, they & him
Say Hello!
You voted them in
Don’t say you weren’t told
Some did try to say
But you just shook your head and said
“There’s no other way”

Zeitgeist (Time Ghost)
This is the Zeitgeist
This is the now
I’m too old to understand the
“Why, Where or How”
These are the ideas,
This the new
This is the time when The Kids
Set the rules
This is the tenor
This is the time
I had chosen to remain
Wilfully blind
These are the changes
You turn around and you’re old
Mums, Dads & Me
Out in the cold
Zeitgeist is ‘Time Ghost’
So I am told
We need to decide
Will we bend….
(“The System is a lie…!)
Or will we fold?
And it’s not Our World -no more
And it’s not Our Rules- no more
Don’t it hurt? Don’t it hurt? Don’t it hurt?

Naughty Step
One hundred lines
“I must not be me”
Put me on the naughty step
Or across your knee
Six of the best!
Then I’ll learn-See
Put me on the naughty step
Until I believe.
Naughty! Naughty! Naughty! Naughty!
I must be Transphobic
Or a Homophobe me
Put me on the naughty step
Or nail me to a tree
Don’t give a stuff about
What you wanna be
But I’ll be on the naughty step
Until I agree.
Naughty! Naughty! Naughty! Naughty!
I think I think I think
I think It’s not for me,
I dig the sentiment
But not sure I’d take the knee
I’ll respect you, will you respect me?
Or is it the naughty step
Until I agree?
Naughty! Naughty! Naughty! Naughty!
It’s not that I don’t think
Just don’t think the same as you
I can see your point
Can you see mine too?
I can see it in your eyes
Were gonna disagree
So it’ll be the naughty step
- For me.

Mugs
There’s a working class man, lives down our street
Does the best that he can, to make ends meet
In his mind he’ll get by, the future is bright
If he works all he can, by day and by night
Mugs! - They take you, they make you mugs...
Mugs! - They take you, they make you mugs... Mugs!
With his pizza n’booze, he’s quite content
Always wondering where, all his money went
He votes with The Sun, each polling day
Now his savings are gone, what more can you say?
But Mugs! - they take you, they make you mugs....
Mugs! - They take you, they make you mugs... Mugs!
Say I’ve got it wrong, if you so choose
But he just won’t see, he’s destined to lose
While those upon high swig their Bolly n’dance
He can’t even afford a day trip to France
Mugs! - They take you, they make you mugs...
Mugs! - They take you, they make you mugs... Mugs!
it’s red letter day, in his small flat
When the final demands land upon the the mat
The tax hits the roof, and the roof needs repair
But don’t ask him to change - ‘Cos he just doesn’t care
He’s a mug - They take you and make you Mugs!
Mugs! - They take you, they make you mugs... Mugs!
And so it goes on his life is a mess
‘Cos he’s told how to vote by some billionnaire press
I don’t see much hope of changing him soon
there’s a far better chance of finding cheese on the moon!
Mugs! - They take you, they make you mugs...
Mugs! - They take you, they make you mugs... Mugs!
-They make you Mugs.

Pigs
See the Pigs down on Westminster Farm
Above the law & safe from harm
They steal, they plunder & they lie
All the time they think they’re safe,
In their sty
Come the Revolution
Up against the wall
Freedom for Tooting
Norwich n’all
Come the Revolution
I’m dreaming of a win
To consign them all
To the rubbish bin
Just like the Pigs in ‘Animal Farm’
They seem impervious to all harm
Each one rotten to their core
And you can’t tell human from Pig no more
Come the Revolution
Up against the wall
Freedom for Tooting
Gt.Yarmouth n’all
Come the Revolution
I’m dreaming of a win
To consign them all
To the rubbish bin
See the Pigs in their Human form
They don’t care about the upcoming storm
There has always been Pigs at the trough
Should be ‘nuff for plenty
Strangely not enough
Come the Revolution,
Up against the wall
Bop,bop,bop
Make bacon of ‘em all
Come the Revolution,
Up against the wall
If you can tell Pig from human
At all…
See the Pigs down on Westminster Farm
Some of us never fell for their charm
Nothing seems to stick come what may
But they will get their come-uppance
One day.

War!

War!
Although they sparkle brightly at night
These aren’t the kind of fireworks we like
They fill us full of fear & fright
Even friends are being uptight
War!
You sit and watch it on your TV
Frightened people who look like you & me
Pretty soon the tanks will start to roll
And the deaths start to toll
War!
A hand ringing Westerner like me
Has had it too easy you see
Never had to fight to be free
Always happy to let it be
War!
Imagine being called to arms
A Kalashnikov in your sweating white palms
A Molotov cocktail to hurl on the street
At some Mother’s Son’s feet
War!

Party Animals
Are you going to the party?
(Liars…)
Going to the Downing Street Party?
(Liars…)
Are you going to the party?
(Liars…)
Going to the Downing Street Party?
(Liars…)
Cheese, nibbles, Chateauneuf-Du-Pape
Bring your own bottle
There’s ‘Charlie’ out the back
Come on in, chill out
Leave policy at the door
If you can’t chillax
What are you working for?
Are you going to the party?
(Liars…)
Going to the Downing Street Party?
(Liars…)
Are you going to the party?
(Liars…)
Going to the Downing Street Party?
(Liars…)
Cheese, nibbles, Chateauneuf-Du-Pape
Carrie in the kitchen
And ‘BJ’ out the back
Shooting the shit
Laughing like a drain
You want another line?
Because The World’s gone insane
Don’t do as we do
Do as we say..
Hasn’t that always been the English Way?
Party while they bury
The husband of the Queen
And some Johnny Nobodies
From the Covid-19…
Are you going to the party?
(Liars…)
Going to the Downing Street Party?
(Liars…)
Are you going to the party?
(Liars…)
Going to the Downing Street Party?
(Liars…)
Cheese, nibbles, Chateauneu-Du-Pape
If anyone asks it’s a works meeting
Or some old crap
Take a suitcase down the Offy
Fill it up bring it back
Some poor Sod will probably get the sack…
Yes, we’re going to a Party-Party
(Liars…)
Yes we’re going to a Party-Party
(Liars…)
Yes we’re going to a Party-Party
(Liars…)

Someone In The Sky
All we do is fight one another
For someone in the sky
All we do is hurt each other
For someone in the sky
Oh why?
No Father, Son, nor Holy Ghost
No Father, Son, nor Holy Ghost
No Father, Son, nor Holy Ghost
No Father, Son, nor Holy Ghost
All we do is hate one another
For someone in the sky
All we do is kill each other
Over one big lie
Oh why?
No Father, Son, nor Holy Ghost
No Father, Son, nor Holy Ghost
No Father, Son, nor Holy Ghost
No Father, Son, nor Holy Ghost
I don’t believe there is anyone
Living in the sky
And if there was anyone
He wouldn’t want you to die
For him.
No Father, Son, nor Holy Ghost
No Father, Son, nor Holy Ghost
No Father, Son, nor Holy Ghost
No Father, Son, nor Holy Ghost
For Him.

Dumb It Down
Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil, see
Dumb it down, dumb it down, dumb it down for me
Turn it into soup or slop or Saturday T.V.
Keep the words simple, repeat after me
(Wot you say? wot you say? Wot you say to me?)
Dumb it down, dumb it down, dumb it down for me
Taliban, Afghanistan, Le Man Grand Prix
Dumb it down, dumb it down, dumb it down for me
Speak like Del – Cockney Geezer see?
Girls like Adele - Norfolk Cocker-Nee
(Wot you say? wot you say? Wot you say to me?)
Dumb it down, dumb it down, dumb it down for me
Could you make it simpler?- Do it for me
Dumb it down, dumb it down, dumb it down for me
Girlfriend went to Uni – Got herself a degree
Girlfriend went to Uni – She’s brighter than me
(Wot you say? wot you say? Wot you say to me?)
Dumb it down, dumb it down, dumb it down for me
Dumb it down
Dumb it down
Dumb it down for me
(Repeat to fade)

Sunlit Uplands
Sunlit Uplands
Now that we are free
Sunlit Uplands
A golden dawn for you & me
There is a crown on my pint glass
And my beer is tasting good
There is a space on the supermarket shelf
To fill with British goods
Sunlit Uplands
Now we are free
Sunlit Uplands
A land of opportunity
-knocks, we’ve had a few
It hasn’t been an easy ride
But the return of Imperial Weights & Measures
Is sure to fill us with pride!
I’m an Englishman
And Enger-land
Is what I know
Had a ticket for the ferry
But I didn’t go
Missus booked the Fjords
But I said ‘no’
So we went to the same place
We always go.
And we’ll be rolling in the clover
On the White Cliffs of Dover
With nobody to tell us ‘No’
(Sunlit Uplands
Where the lorry driver is king
If only we could find someone
To drive the bloody thing)
And we’ll be rolling in the clover
On the White Cliffs of Dover
With nobody to tell us ‘No’
(Sunlit Uplands
None so free as us
And no one needs to mention
The side of that bloody bus)
Sunlit Uplands
Happy holidays here at home
Beer at 99p in Wetherspoons
And food I know
Sunlit Uplands
Land of the free,
We have all we need right here – Don’t we?
