Hands

The hands that groped a little girl plastered these walls
(Tear it down, tear it down, tear it down)
The hands that made the floor we're on cupped young boys' balls
(Chop it up, chop it up, chop it up)
But these hands are clean so they'll do everything
The mind that solved the riddle had dirty thoughts
(scrunch it up, scrunch it up, scrunch it up)
The mind behind the remedy relied on force
(strike it off, strike it off, strike it off)
But this mind is blank so there's less to understand
Just don't call us philistines, we're only here to help
it's up to us help - after all, we are the experts
The hands that made the things we like did things obscene
(Sling it out, sling it out, sling it out)
we must destroy the things we feel should not have been
(smash it up, smash it in, smash it up)
But these hands are clean so they'll do everything
We are the experts, no art by perverts!

I'm a Visigoth

He was the man of my dreams, with his flaxen hair and exotic trinkets
But mam and dad told me I'd never set foot in our house again if I ran off with a Goth
I'm not afraid to use force, I've got long hair and a horse
I'm looking for a little place in the Med
I got a walrus ivory comb on a boys' trip to Rome
I like my skin tanned and my belly fed
Some of you fellas are soft
But not me cos I'm a visi-visi-visigoth
I drink what I find, I believe in leaving stragglers behind
I live and I love, and I love when I like
Baby you're sweet but I got itchy feet
I wanna go ride to the seaside
Some of you fellas are soft
But not me cos I'm a visi-visi-visigoth
I'm a Goth, I'm a Goth, I'm a Visi-Visigoth

Sick of Being Free

Oh it used to be magic but now it's a hobby
What once was the future is now in the past
And if people still ask you what your favourite band is
The answer you give doesn't define who you are
Yes I'll speak to you slowly with words you can follow
Your old man was quite hip when he hung out backstage
Even chicks paid attention and listened to solos
But that was before this whole Internet Age
Kids: puts your phone down and gather round
Drugs, they were different then - we appreciated everything more than you brats
I am here in the ruins of Kensington Palace
In a sea of dead flowers and pink teddy bears
Is it Glastonbury or is this Eurovision?
Everyone listens but nobody cares
I took an Uber to the yoga retreat
I bought Tibetan bells on Amazon
Can't wait to feel so bloody happy
Unhappy is a state of mind, you've got to transcend humankind
There's more to life than making money - in fact, sometimes my money only weighs me down
All this negativity is making me blue, I need a treat so I'll call Deliveroo
Are the drivers underpaid? Well it's their choice what they do
I don't want to be bummed out in my quest for the truth
Choose to buy what you can till you're sick of being free....

See You

Did I miss your birthday, was it Thursday?
I was out of town, couldn't charge my phone
What have you been up to, have you been busy?
Last time I spoke about you to a friend she told me that you missed me
How is all the family? Your mother and Danny
Will he check on her in case she has a fall?
Will you leave the city and settle in the country?
Let me know how it goes and just give us a shout if I'm still stuck up a gum tree
Well fancy that, was nice to chat
Perhaps I'll see you around some day
