Nightmare Journey 03:22
lyrics
buy track
Standing on the corner trying to hitch a ride Dark clouds gathered above me Lightning cracked in the sky No- one stopping, all cars passing by The terrible sound of thunder, like the last Amen Then a car pulled up beside me, and a voice said, 'Get in'. Nightmare journey, nightmare journey The driver was laughing as we drove into the storm There was blood on the carpet, the seats were all slashed and torn I asked him were he was going, as he reached past me to lock the door 'Going to Hell!' he said, and he patted my knee with his claw Nightmare journey Yes I rode with the Devil, and a bargain was struck If I gave him my soul, he would bring me good luck So I sold my soul to the Devil, but good luck I've had none The Devil done tricked me, Hell's where I belong Nightmare journey, nightmare journey

Old Sod Sam Sits In Old Joe's Chair 02:22
lyrics
buy track
Old Sod Sam Sits In Old Joe’s Chair. The sun was shining The chair was creaking. Sam sipped coffee and listened to the unlucky insects With eleven legs going clickety-click in a bingo linguistic cacophony. Sam slept, and dreamt he was glowing in deep down, dark Holes of warmth that pulsate with a sexual intensity. Chair broke, Sam woke feeling quite weird. As he looked around him everything disappeared. Where’s Sam? Where’s Joe? Don’t ask me, I don’t know.

Bert's Brainstorm 01:35
lyrics
buy track
The cold wind felt like an iceberg, brief being pressed against my face; An ice cold and cursing around my face. Where am I? Er, what in heavens name is this? Bert looked down upon the frozen waste. All around him were many things, and also on the floor Was something that I would describe as almost terrifyingly horrific: Cold dormant features of the inner world That I and I only found to have. Extra deeds, yes; installed in the brain itself. What? Yes. Fear it forever and back also: Have got to get there.

The Last Shopping Day 04:09
lyrics
buy track
Weasels and rats invading our gardens While the city crumbles; Shoppers fall over each other in the rush On the last shopping day. Birds hop from bone to bone, The eternal grey mist thickens. People with no money cower in their homes. White seagull shit drips in the sky On the last shopping day. Weasels and rats have invaded the gardens, The sickly silence falls like radiation. Drinking cups of tea that taste of pollution. The pensioners’ vacant stare tells us we are all guilty, While desperate capitalists panic. They pay you to go shopping, now, Bribing you into the stores in a frantic effort to sell. This is the last shopping day: Weasels and rats have invaded the garden.

The Dead Fish 01:48
lyrics
buy track
The black, bloated stickleback fish floated Upside down in the pond. The pond was fenceless, the stench knocked me senseless; My snout fell out, splashed and drenched the bystanding diners. Someone fished it out and replaced it in my face. We retired inside where the fish was fried, And the cat was ignored as it giggled and clawed In animal anticipation for the rotten remains. The head, tail and bones, and some of the brains Of the leftover fish were put in a dish; And the cat was ignored as it giggled and clawed. Then the cat was confronted with a dish of stinking fish. The cat was confronted with a dish of stinking fish.

White Goatee 01:00
lyrics
buy track
As years pass Ears n' eyes demise Arse blazes Cuts n' grazes only half heal Digestion is a series of bubbles n' squeaks Looking round a new town I used to ask For pub or place to get thirst slated Nowadays my first urgent task Is to find where nearest toilets are located Teeth fall out like apples drop from a tree Who am I fooling with this drab tash and white goatee?

Pork Hunt 05:34
lyrics
buy track
Ham, bacon chops and sausages. We’re killing pigs, don’t take no hostages. Stick a pig, gimme a pig foot. Ham is a pigs arse. Poor sow, stuck in a rape rack. The pigs are in prison. Intelligent and clean, not like a human being. We go the whole hog, shoot bolts through their brains. Curly tails and trotters; bring home the bacon Cut up into rashers. Pigs squealing and grunting like death metal thrashers; The sound of pain obscured by the rustle of money Pulled from a pigskin wallet. Stop the hogwash. Take our snouts from the trough. The prime porker is a mighty fine beast, Too fine and noble to be served up at a feast. We’ve mistreated pigs for thousands of years And made silk purses out of sows’ ears. If Jesus could manage water into wine Why did he damage the gadarene swine? Gods will or pigswill? Two thousand beasts there grazed on the mound, Sent into a frenzy by the son of man drowned. The day will come when the pigs run free; Free from fear, no more torture in the name of food; Free to trot through the fields, higgledy-piggledy, Under the open sky; And one day, pigs might fly.

The Wooden Mutant Devil Goat From Hell 01:49
lyrics
buy track
It followed me home; it’s climbing the stairs, It’s climbing the stairs; oh god, nobody cares. It’s pawing the ground and ringing its bell. It’s the wooden mutant devil goat from hell. The wooden mutant devil goat from hell. It’s coming inside, it’s coming inside. The devil sure wants to have my hide. Its skull exposed and fangs as well. Here comes the wooden mutant devil goat from hell, The wooden mutant devil goat from hell. It’s after me; it’s after me. It’s breaking in to the lavatory. It’s giving off an obnoxious smell. It’s the wooden mutant devil goat from hell, The wooden mutant devil goat from hell. It’s poised for attack; it’s poised for attack. It’s got horrible lumps all along its back. It leaps in the air with a blood-curdling yell. Oh god it’s the wooden mutant devil goat from hell, The wooden mutant devil goat from hell.

What's The Time? 03:28

What's the time When it's a crime To be in the wrong place At the wrong time? It's the future when they shoot ya But somehow it's now They thought he was a bomber Now he's a goner Shot through the head An innocent dead Show no sorrow it's tomorrow But somehow it's now Shoot to kill In Stockwell Bring the Bill Time will tell Dead civilian poor Brazilian It's killing time now, somehow Somehow it's vital now Now it's later We're no safer Suspect ya neighbour Can't trust the coppers It's the future when they shoot ya But somehow it's now

Heaven Never Found 02:34
lyrics

Drained and demeaned by a demon dream A snore popped me open Sweat - drenched n shivering Remembering, remembering... Well I fell Down into Hell I couldn't stand the smell The goat was ringing his bell Sulphurous fumes boiling up from the floor Back being scratched by a devils' claw Remembering the dream My spirit turned to steam Condensing onto the ground Heaven never found Well I fell Down into hell But I shot back out Like a bullet from a barrel I screamed At what I dreamed Nothin was as it seemed I cannot be redeemed I could not be redeemed Damned Deemed part of a scheme Spirit turned to steam Condensing onto the ground Heaven never found

I'm Bugged 03:50

Here come the bugs I open the door and in they fly Big as yuh hand They splat the walls Feathery wings explode into dust Yellow streaks dripping Slapping into the walls And bursting Filling the air with fine specks Can't get no sleep I can't even breathe, it's so damn hot where they hit the walls Mucus streaks of yellow Mixed with red blood Dripping slowly sticky orange Down the wet walls And congealing Into hard transluscent lumps Lost all my lovers They keep finding the buggers under the covers Big as yuh hand I can't breathe Fucking specks of blood n' moth dust Fucking bugs The bug dust from their bursts I'm cursing Filling the air with fine swears

Ladies and Gentlemen Roll up for the Magic Show Cos y' know, It's coming to town More than 30 years ago I went to watch a magic show It lifted me up from the hard hard ground The wizard in his cape waving his wand around While his cosmic companions summoned spells of sound That magic sound Went round n' round Lifted me up from the hard hard ground Ever since that magic day The memory slowly fades away kept glimmering by legends told 'mongst those proud n' precious few Who saw the merry Magic Crew Now the wizard went away To wave his wand another way But the Magic Crew are back Casting spells n blowing stacks I'm gonna get up from the hard hard ground Unzip my head Find my feet n' dance It might be my last chance I'm gonna blow my stack Cos Magic's coming back

Face Man 05:56

I've tried being friendly You know I've tried to be nice I have been patient And I know that I've been polite Are you looking for a fight? Cos we could stand here all night Until one of us gives in And the other one will win Someone's gotta give some space Someone's gonna lose face Even at this late hour We could still walk away But you're intent On getting in my way Standing in my way You won't let me have my say And there's nothing I can do To make you change your view Someone's gotta give some space Someone's gonna lose face Don't put your face in my face, man I'm talking to you You look hard, but you're harmless Listen get your face out of my face, man I'm saying it to your face, man I'm far from harmless Listen Shut up talking to me with that face, man I'm talking to you I'm far from harmless Don't put your face in my face, man I ain't through with you yet You look hard, but you're harmless Don't fucking stand there with that face on, man I ain't through with you yet You look hard, but you're harmless Shut up Don't fucking look at me with that face, man I'm saying it to your face, man And I'm far from harmless

Capitalism 07:02
lyrics
buy track
It’s the end of the century, capitalism’s last grasp. They built their house on shaky foundations, Now the whole edifice is crumbling down around their ears. They sell you money so you can keep on shopping; A futile attempt to prop up a decayed system. Capitalism: the art of flogging a dead horse. Desperately trying to hang on to their power, They bribe us with special offers, bargains, sales, reductions; It won’t work; these dogs have had their day. The end of the century, the end of capitalism. These crooks, cheats, liars and frauds. Capitalism: the cause of pollution. Capitalism: it’s third world exploitation. Capitalism: the creed of greed. Capitalism: the art of flogging. Capitalism: a dead horse.
