Red Sleeping Beauty

I've been sound asleep for twenty years
If I'm sound asleep a hundred years
She won't wake me
She won't wake me

I've been sound asleep for twenty years
If I'm sound asleep a thousand years
He won't wake me
He won't wake me

Nothing stirs us
Sound asleep
We're sound asleep

Nothing stirs us
Sound asleep
We're sound asleep

While there's still a war to win
My red dream is everything
They won't wake me
They won't wake me

Nothing stops us
Sound asleep
We're sound asleep

Nothing stops us
Sound asleep
We're sound asleep

Should The Bible Be Banned

My name is Dave
I killed my brother
I whacked an axe through his head
On the hottest day of the year
My blood was boiling
I said, "You're dying"
And so the blood flowed

I'm in jail
The press were eager to question me
"How could you do such a thing?"

My father hated me
He always took my brother's side
For Christmas he would get a car
And I'd be given 50p
All alone in my room
Just a Bible
Of Cain and and Abel I'd read

How my heart bled for Cain
He had problems but God ignored them
It made me so mad

I'm in jail
When the story broke 
Placards read
"Now should the bible be banned?"

I'm in jail
When the story broke 
Placards read
"Now should the bible be banned?"

The Home Secretary is looking closely into it
Could a copycat killer copy the Book of Genesis?

Should the bible be banned
To keep the peace?
Should the bible be banned
To keep the peace?
Should the bible be banned
To keep the peace?
Should the bible be banned
To keep the peace?
Should the bible be banned

To keep the peace?
Should the bible be banned
To keep the peace?
Should the bible be banned
To keep the peace?
Should the bible be banned
To keep the peace?

An MP Speaks

Sweet little schoolgirl smile
Your golden arms beckon me on
Lips seem to speak, seem to lead me
Beautiful one
Your burning tongue

For you that I do these things
For you that I do these things

Shielding you from ill
While you're a child
I'll be your knight

There's vice everywhere
Porn on the screen
Sex in the street
Vile foreign men
As I said in the House there are sewers beneath
Waiting to burst all over us

For you that I do these things
For you that I do these things

The Fall

My mother, the Red Arrow fly
Nosedives towards me

London is falling down
London is falling down

Shining new pylons descend to the earth
As I walk towards them skyscrapers crash down to the ground

London is falling down, down down
London is falling down

Inside and outside what goes up comes down
London is falling down, down down down down
London is falling down

I'll take a plane or a kite I'm flying Northwards
I'm going uptown

London is falling down, down down down down
London is falling down

Inside and outside what goes up comes down
London is falling down
London is falling down
London is falling down
London is falling down

The Funeral

Mother they were lowering slowly into her grave
And the good priest was speaking on the happiness above
Here below where man was made to work and weep (work and weep)
We all must walk through evil lands and bales of suffering

Suddenly a shout blew the ceremony
The undertaker's man came running and waved a piece of paper
"Sir this bill," he sought to let the undertaker know, "it's not paid"
"Well stop the show," his master said
The gravediggers raised the corpse and waited patiently at hand
The priest hissed in some dismay, "Is this quite the time or place?"

Venomously father said, "We'll have the money Tuesday"
The undertaker had to laugh, "Well Tuesday she'll be buried"
"Charity," wept the priest in utter disbelief
"Father Angerblow," the undertaker said
"This misses business man and that coffin is worth a lot
Open it up right away boys there are others who can pay"

Here below where man was made to work and weep (work and weep)
We all must go through evil lands and bales of suffering

We Are All Bourgeois Now

There's something wrong somewhere here
So through unclean streets
I made my way

With holes in my shoes
And my children asleep at my feet
I paid my way

In every town on the way
The people looked grey
The buildings looked healthy

But one day I met a man
With money to spare
He said he would tell me how it is

"The State," he began
"Has been propping up people too long
For far too long

We all got lazy and couldn't be bothered
To make our way through the world

But we are all bourgeois now
Once there was class war
But not any longer
Because baby we are all bourgeois now
So go out and make your way in the world

We're free to choose
We're all free to choose
We're all free to choose
We're free to choose

In booming Britain we all work together
To raise ourselves in the world
Each of us knows someone
Who has done well for themselves
So well for themselves"

"Thank you" I said as I left
"I'll be on my way
I see how it is"

We are all bourgeois now
And somehow I'll raise myself in the world

I'm free to choose
We're all free to choose
We're all free to choose
I'm free to choose

We're all bourgeois now
We're all bourgeois now
We're bourgeois now

Antinature

Antinature
From the future
We sing

Go to the Highlands
And put a bomb underneath a mountain
Sweet little creatures
Eat, sleep, shit the day away

I won't be at the mercy of myself
In every country
A million raging ids
Wage a war for the control
Of our unhappy kids

Do you want to go back
Into the cold, into the darkness?
We will win
You can do anything.

Antinature
Nuclear power?
Yes please

Kill Kill Kill Kill

Kill them
Injure them
Rip out their hearts
Tear out their tongues
Hurt them
I want to

Fight them
Those people
Tear their flesh to bits
Rip them to pieces
With my fingernails
They could reveal
Those people who hurt animals

Frans Hals

They calculate how much it takes to stop Iran
And send it out to me
Sleeping in the trash
Begrudging everything
They're keen to deal with me
So yesterday I
This land informs me

These are better days
You stop your money
There's no more money
We've already paid
We're making money
I said you're joking

The rich are out to get to me
They want to see me hung drawn and quartered
You bastards gave me
And I will pinch you dry
It's not much to do
It's all I can do
But one day soon
The poor will deal with you

Make your will out mate
They know your names and they know your faces
Make your will out mate
They know your names and they know your faces
They will deal with you
They'll really deal with you

The Myth of the North-South Divide

And close the day to think about something
We dance to the melody of the times
We count out feelings by Big Ben's chimes

For here, no one is poor
All of us are rich
We have all lined up on the same side
We are making money, that could never be denied

The streets down here are paved with gold
Or silver at least
For we are living in the sunny Southeast

You Northerners, Scotsmen and Welsh
You know where your enemy's to be found
In the soft, prosperous south bed South

For here, no one is poor
We all roll in it
We've all lined up on the same side
And we don't mind it's the North that's paying for it

The streets down here are paved with gold
Or silver at least
For we are living in the sunny Southeast

But as we see
The real moneybags are pointing the way up a one-way street
Then if they will then it's work to treat

Oh let's politicize the North-South divide
If it's not a question of class war
We will save ourselves and let us stay poor

Something Wrong Somewhere

Saw into my sorry state
There was something wrong somewhere
Spoke to me when it was late
Now I can't show my face anywhere

Something wrong
Something wrong somewhere
Something wrong
Something wrong somewhere

The wrong people playing the chords
There was something wrong somewhere
The capital prisons and the House of Lords
Now I can't show my face anywhere

Something wrong
Something wrong somewhere
Something wrong
Something wrong somewhere

With paper burns and sighs and groans
There was something wrong somewhere
Never ever spoke to anyone
Now I can't show my face anywhere

Something wrong
Something wrong somewhere
Something wrong
Something wrong somewhere
This Nelson Rockefeller

You have been so good to me always
But it's a dirty world out there
The whole world knows it's so out there
But do I really have to let you down?

Golden rings on his fingers
And golden bells in his hand

This Nelson Rockefeller
Is all to be a never were
Do I detest him?
Yes of course I do

He not tunes he's not much fun
But look at all the things he's done
Brand new clothes everywhere

You've always been so good to me
Staying right by my side

He strokes my hair
He pats my seat
He pets my Johnson when he leaves

This Nelson Rockefeller
Is all to be a never were
Do I detest him?
Yes of course I do

He works for the stock exchange
He's everything that we hate
But do I really have to let you down?

He strokes my hair
He pats my seat
He pets my Johnson when he leaves

This Nelson Rockefeller
Is all to be a never were
Do I detest him?
Yes I do

You've always been so good to me
Staying right by my side
Charles Windsor

Charles Windsor, who's at the door
At such an hour, who's at the door
In the back of an old green Cortina
You're on your way to the guillotine

Here the rabble comes
The kind you hoped were dead
They've come to chop, to chop off your head

Hundreds of bound big business men
Hacks from The Sun, military men
So many rich men weep in despair
On and on into Trafalgar Square

Here the rabble comes
The kind you hoped were dead
They've come to chop, to chop, chop, chop your head

These once peaceful streets
The scenes of revenge you had not wished to see
Revenge is so sweet for those who have never known anything sweet

Here the rabble come
The kind you hoped were dead
They've come to chop, to chop off your head
From The Damned

Going down down again
Every day the same again
Every day dragged through the gates
The damned in the rain

In the rain the offices
Every day the same again
Every day dragged through the gates
The damned in the rain

Gone for them and the money men
Going down (down again)
Dragged through the gates
The damned in the rain
Every day dragged though the gates
The damned in the rain

In the rain the offices
Every day (dragged again)
Dragged through the gates
The damned in the rain
Child Soon In Chains

When I lay you in the cop and devil sings
When you're locked away for eleven years
When the ties that bind you tight when I untie
When they've drained away your prize

You'll be free when you've lost your mind

When you go to work that's when you feel you're free
When you're locked away for a hundred years
When what would seem so strange will be familiar
Because you're mine because you're mine

While you sleep he'll be thinking of you
Very soon he'll be coming after you
The Enemy Is At Home (For The Fat Lady)

In the fighting
My life ended
The queen isn't here to state any flaws that make me resigned to it
My heart's not beating

This land's not our land
One year ago
Everyone from the rest of the world's waiting to take our jobs
So my heart said

You fool
You fool
You fool
You...

Ministers preaching
Papers screaming
Everyone from the rest of the world's waiting to attack us
Not us but them
The Well of Loneliness

You sit still inside a well where you wish all will be well
You're silently dreaming what no tongue can ever tell
This is the well of loneliness, oh, this is the well of loneliness
And oh, of broken promises, where you have decided nothing changes

I once thought fame and romance could drag me out of hell
But they have only chained me here, in a lifelike prison cell
They are many, we are few
There's not much that we can do

In a well of no hoping, there's no point in hoping
In a well of no hoping, there's no hope, there's no point in hoping 

This is the well of loneliness, oh, this is the well of loneliness
And oh, of broken promises, where you have decided nothing changes
They promised me paradise if I fell under their spell
Glazed-eyed passive citizens suit them very well

This is the well of loneliness, oh, this is the well of loneliness
And oh, of broken promises, where you have decided nothing changes.

Could these sleepers ever wake, or have we come too late?
They have done such a good job on them down there in the well.
They are many, we are few (I see no way up, I see no way out).
There's not much that we can do (I see no way up, I see no way out).

In a well of no hoping, there's no point in hoping.

In a well of no hoping, there's no hope, there's no point in hoping 
In a well of no hoping, there's no hope, there's no point in hoping
Is there hope?
You're Alive

We brought you poppy fields
But we brought you money too
So selfish you're evil
Her desire thrown aside

You're alive
You're alive

Riots strike revolt
Tell me why, why?
Hold me, kiss me
Never leave me
I'm dying

You're alive
You've alive
Keep an Open Mind or Else

Oh come along now
It's not quite like you say
With my last breath
I'll fight for your right to disagree

But I don't believe
It's as simple as you say
No I don't believe
In our arguing myself

Now well I know you should never
Think that you know everything
You should never, oh never
Think that you know everything

An open mind
Oh why don't you keep?
It's the true side
Of the civilized

Argue forever
But don't you ever rest
I don't believe
In any such arguments as these

They might win the game
But they never will with me
For I make mine up
As I go along

You should always try to see
Another person's point of view
You should never, oh never
Think that you know everything

Because you will find
There are mysteries 
Too deep to be explained
With the brain

Oh shut your trap
Or I'll shut it up for you
I don't believe in facts
No I just believe in me

Argue, I don't care
Would you like your face smashed in?
Say anything
I will be never be convinced

You should always try to see
Another person's point of view
You should never, oh never
Think that you know everything

An open mind
Oh why don't you keep?
It's the true side
Of the civilized

If you ever put your ideas
Into practice anyway
To be sure I'll be the first one
To be calling the police
I'm Not A Patriot But...

Far away in Central America
Young men and women fight to make their country free
To kick out a foreign army
The enemies of freedom
What will you say when someone asks you
"Whose side are you on?"
In your fight, sisters and brothers far away
I'm on your side

But not far away
Young men and women fight to keep their country free
To kick out a foreign army
The enemies of freedom
What will you say when someone asks you
"Whose side are you on?"
In your fight, sisters and brothers not far away
I'm not on your side

Differences?
Don't bother me with differences
Just let me think of it
I'm not a patriot, but
It's British boys you're gunning down
It's our good boys you kill
I'm not a patriot, but
I won't turn against my land

There's a great difference between liberators and those who only kill
You are terrorists and they are freedom fighters
You are murderers and they are revolutionaries
In your fight, sisters and brothers not far away
I'm not on your side

Differences?
Don't bother me with differences
Just let me think of it
I'm not a patriot, but
It's British boys you're blowing up
It's our good boys you kill
I'm not a patriot, but
I won't turn against my land, no, no
I'm not a patriot, but
I won't turn against my land

[I want you to repeat after me:
I am (I am) a revolutionary]

Comrade Era

Come right now
Come right now and forever
Citizen
You're not the only one

Come right now
Come right now and forever
