    "I'd rather die in a ditch than buy this album! This is pure surrender, capitulation and humbug. Gorman clearly needs to man up!" - The Captain.

    "Really, really, traitorous stuff...complete covfefe…and I say that as the finest judge of musical talent in history...terrible, terrible guy." - The Future President of Greenland.

    For anyone following current events with their head in their hands this is your album. Follow the rise of the King of Lies from a back breaking life of wealth and privilege to election as Captain of our glorious Ship of Fools.

    I should add that if you do swag the download you won't want to miss the full glory of David MacKenzie's sparkling take on the cover art – so I’ve put mini versions here for you. Oh and there's even more Parental Advisory lyrical jocularity than usual so make sure to check with mummy and daddy that you’re old enough to listen.

about

The lyrics for virtually entire album came like a Noro virus attack in a single night. It was thoroughly sieved for the most pungent chunks and put to music in the following days and weeks. Unfortunately life interfered repeatedly to delay the recording and release of the songs for a couple of months but as the chaos continues the songs now gained a strange kind of timeless quality. As the lyrics pretty much speak for themselves from here on in any song notes will be brief.

As the curtains open tolerance and civility collapse and the crew debate a crucial change of course. Which end of the egg should they crack first, as Mr.Swift might have put it?

lyrics

Fight it Out

Did you say yes when I said no?
Did you say stay when I said go?
Did you tick the box that I left blank?
Did you just bite their hands of when I said thanks?

Fight it out, fight it out, let’s fight it out
Fight it out, fight it out, let’s fight it out

I say cheese you wear a frown
You turn my smile upside down
I see art you see a stain
I want to leave if you remain
Everything’s an outrage and I’m way past being reasonable
My posts are so patriotic your trolling is so treasonable

Fight it out, fight it out, let’s fight it out
Fight it out, fight it out, let’s fight it out

You say open borders I say keep them shut
You hug the huddled masses I tell them to get to fuck
I throw the key away you say second chance
I say face the music but you don’t want to dance
You opened up my eyes now I can’t stand the sight of you
Why pretend that we’re so colour blind when you’re so red and I’m so blue?

Fight it out, fight it out, let’s fight it out
Fight it out, fight it out, let’s fight it out

You tell me to say I’m sorry, I say do your worst
So which of us is blinking first?
I say pull the trigger let’s seal our fate
You say not so fast but it’s too late
