Road Song 03:13
lyrics
buy track
Road Song Well we all hit the road and we run Chased by shadows we follow the sun Come the end of the trail we all lose And you are only the road that you choose You fall to your knees and you pray For a sign that will show you the way But the devil waits just round the bend There to greet you, Lord have mercy amen There’s no rest and we all travel blind Golden chances go slipping behind We go chasing down a dream that ain’t real And we’re all fast asleep at the wheel Did they tell you that your highway was clear? Ah well boy, it’s all downhill from here See that light up ahead how it shines? That’s the hellfire at the end of the line Well we all hit the road and we run Chased by shadows we follow the sun Come the end of the trail we all lose And you are only the road that you choose

How it Goes 02:20
lyrics

How it Goes Washing’s out the rain comes down that’s the way it goes Kiss her then she kicks you out that the way it goes We’re all just waiting for the night to fall Nothing lasts for ever that’s just the way it… Slips up behind you when you get ahead Waits until you’re sleeping then kicks you out of bed On their knees they’re calling you the King Toast your success but you know they spiked the drink So love hard and drink deep when it comes around Laugh when you jump my son cos you know you’re coming down Don’t hide in the shadows waiting for the dawn Cos love turns darkest just before she’s… Gone in the morning, it’s breakfast on your own Washing’s out the rain comes down that’s the way it goes Take your best shot, seize the day, everybody knows That nothing ever lasts forever that’s just the way it goes

Straight Up 02:49
lyrics

Straight Up The Pharoahs put a man on the moon, straight up Monkey got to heaven on a weather balloon, straight up Your smartphone’s micro-waving your head Rachel Riley wants to take me to bed, straight up Everything I tell you is the god’s honest truth, straight up They found Eldorado and the Fountain of Youth, straight up Their cloning dinosaurs in Jurassic Park Leaders are all lizards wearing rubber masks, straight up Drugs in the water are controlling your mind, straight up Online porn’s gonna make you go blind, straight up Masons and Templars have stitched us all up Scotland’s going to win the next World Cup, straight up Gonna build a wall around the land of the free, straight up The truth is whatever you want it to be, straight up No oriental virus gonna make me unwell Got a bigger gun I’m going to blow it to hell, straight up Illuminati Zionists are running the show, straight up Mohammed was a Martian with his own UFO straight up The Yellow Peril’s spreading disease But I’ve got disinfectant and a needle so I shoot up The nasty cough I caught was a communist plot, straight up Ice don’t melt when the weather is hot, straight up Elvis lives in an alien zoo With Adolph Hitler, Bowie and a penguin or two, straight up A little Nostradamus and a tarot card or two The Book of Revelations and the Bride of Fu Manchu A little Mr. Crowley and a little Dr. Dee Holocaust denial and the Whitehouse twitter feed Love and evolution are a liberal scam, straight up God made us all with a clap of his hands, straight up Send me a donation start saying your prayers The President’s an angel and it’s all his own hair, straight up Don’t listen to the experts and the boffins and docs, straight up Trust in gurus, crystals, prophets and gods, straight up The earth’s dead flat and the moon’s made of cheese God is gonna help you if you’re down on your knees, straight up Their gonna build a telescope to blow up the sun, straight up They hold alien bar mitzvahs in Area 51, straight up God is an American no word of a lie The Pope is homosexual and we’re all going to die, straight up

Blood on our Hands 04:22
lyrics
buy track
Blood on our Hands It’s too easy to point the finger, too easy to know that I’m right Too easy to watch from a distance and blame somebody else for the fight A socialist’s fighting for freedom, another socialist lies The faithless pick on the faithful and an innocent enemy dies Capitalists and jihadis, kings and queens of this land We’re claiming your crown but we’re living it down Cos we’ve all got blood on our hands Remember who pays the cost when you fight the cause Remember who pays the cost when you fight the cause Sometimes you’ve got to throw punches and sometimes you’ve got to throw stones Sometimes it’s you and sometimes it’s them who drag the body bags home So don’t pretend that we’re perfect, don’t pretend that we’re pure Sometimes the sinner’s a fascist alright but sometimes the sinner is you And if the struggle turns into a battle with both side counting their dead We’d better make sure that we’re making amends and build something better instead Remember who pays the cost when you fight the cause Remember who pays the cost when you fight the cause Remember who pays the cost when you fight the cause Not every bloody fanatic kills in the name of their god Not every sword swinging crusader strikes in the name of the lord Sometimes our hands can get dirty and anger can twist into hate If we think that we’re right because we’re winning the fight that don’t mean we’re not to blame So ask your enemies for forgiveness and show some humility do Cos if justice for all is our clarion call then they’d better see some of it too Remember who pays the cost when we fight the cause Remember who pays the cost when we fight the cause Remember who pays the cost when we fight the cause Remember who pays the cost when we fight the cause

Blue Lamp 01:56
lyrics

Blue Lamp Want a taste of heaven? Come follow me Through the rain and cold and dark streets of Aberdeen To the den and the hiding place where all the cool cats go Where the blues and the jazz go down beneath the Blue Lamp glow Step out with me kiss hard In Mr. Brown’s magic bar Want a touch of wonder? Come follow me To where the drunken angels and the devil meet Old Blind Dogs and Lemon Tarts and Spider dig the show Where drums beat and the fiddles dance beneath the Blue Lamp glow Her eyes stabbed through my heart In Sandy Brown’s magic bar

Crusader 06:25

Crusader Crusader heed the call Crusader take the cross We come to claim Jerusalem We come to rape Byzantium Our Saviour brings a sword Our Masters give the word Kill the guilty and the innocent The Lord will know his own, Amen Bezier, the countless dead Acre, harvest of heads Purge your soul of mortal sin Cleansed in the blood of Saracens Caedite eos Caedite eos Novit enim Dominus Qui sunt eius Crusader heed the call Crusader take the gun Crusader coming on the air Crusader coming say your prayers

The Large Hadron Collider Children's Song 00:44
lyrics
buy track
Looking into Atoms (The LHC song for primary kids as requested by John Hegley) The fields of Switzerland conceal A mighty doughnut made of steel That spins wee atoms round and round Five hundred feet beneath the ground They’re far too wee for me to see Like T.Rex trying to find a pea But when they spin and then collide They split and show us what they hide Inside Like a campfire needs a spark Like a firework lights up the dark The tiny Legos of reality Are lit up by the LHC

Dick 03:28
lyrics

Dick I’m a dick, I’m a dick yes I’m up my own arse Every relationship turns into a farce I’m going to need more bandages to cover the scars If I’m going to be an arsehole I’m going to own it If there’s a helpline for dickheads I’m going to phone it Got an onanistic sex toy and I’m going to bone it You’re a glamour girl, I’m drab, drab, drab You’re a Goddess, I’m a crawler You’re a mosaic, I’m a paving slab You’re larger than life and I’m just growing smaller I’d love to sell my songs but I know that I can’t I want to be a giant but I’m really an ant Every clever lyric turns into a rant My boss has got a dirty pair of boots that I lick All the songs I write just make everyone sick You smell like a rose but I feel like a prick You’re a Rembrandt, I’m an unmade bed I’m a Shrigley, you’re a Miro I’m a sleeping bag, you’re a four poster bed I’m just a number, you’re a superhero I’m banging my guitar because I’m seeking attention I’m only going to lose trying to win your affection My desperation grows like an unwanted erection If I’m going to be an arsehole I’m going to own it If there’s a helpline for dickheads I’m going to phone it Got an onanistic sex toy and I’m going to bone it

Bite Me 02:42
lyrics

Bite Me When he’s cold do you cry? Do you sing that you’re lonely? When he’s full of himself do you wish he would listen? When he lords it over you and it’s all gone to his head Turn your passion on to me, I’ll turn my passion on to you Take me kiss rise up Dance sing scream make love Electricity and light, naked and aflame Queen of Rapture, Queen of Blood, yes I know who you are Burn slow climb squeeze me Burn shine come with me Let the madness take control bring all your crazy into bed Bite the apple, shake the tree, break your chains and take a ride on me

Zeitgeist 06:08

Zeitgeist I am sick of all your shit, I’m going to tear it down Gonna kill your heroes and your gods Gonna smash your face with my guitar I want to make you bleed, I am going to crack your skull Gonna trample everything to dust Gonna blow it all to kingdom come - like this We’re crawling through the rubble you’re sitting on your throne We’re gonna grab the pieces sling them through the air and break your teeth Every yacht and catwalk, every penthouse suite Every helicopter is thrown onto bonfires on our streets It’s the day of judgement your reckoning has come Let the bombs start falling and watch our cities burn We have had a bellyful of you, we will purify with flame Gonna tear your banks and temples down Gonna pour more petrol on the fire We are faceless, we are cursed, we have nothing left to lose Gonna stick a needle in your eye Gonna wash away your bullshit with your blood – like this You’re so high and mighty, you’re so out of touch We’re gonna axe your towers spit and shove your faces in the dirt All the clocks are broken, all our races run We’ll burn it all to ashes strip you of your flesh and grind your bones It’s the day of judgement your reckoning has come Let the bombs start falling and watch our cities burn
