    Check out these fabulous recommendations!

    "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 Captain victorious.

lyrics

King of Lies

Little big man what’s your tale
Did your party and your unions fail you?
So puffed up and prideful in your pomp
The circuits blow the machine stops

Once a Prince now who sings your praises?
Flying so high then strung up by your laces
God of the cattle that you herd along
You ride the swell, you reap the storm

And, oh Lord, my time has come; Mercy, Mercy I will rise
Oh I will kiss the sun; Glory, Glory King of Lies

Mistress Ambition chains my soul
Crack the whip and take control
Lackey’s lick my ego keen to satisfy
I am my own religion, worship I

I monarch in a tower of glass
The limos and the clouds slide past
I bleed the poor and drink their blood
I crack the dam, I bring the flood

And, oh Lord, my time has come; Mercy, Mercy I will rise
Oh I will kiss the sun; Glory, Glory King of Lies

Little big man what’s your tale
Did your party and your unions fail you?
Puffed up and prideful in your pomp
The circuits blow the machine stops
