I am God I am God I am God I am God I am God I am God I am God I am God and I’ve created my world It’s full of happy boys and lots of pretty girls Fee meet Joe. Joe meet Fee. Now go have fun. It’s that easy! I am God I am God I am God I am God Don’t do that. Don’t do that. Don’t do that. Don’t do that. I am God and this is our world Sierra Leone boys and Saudi Arabian girls It’s all gone wrong. It didn’t take long Seven days to make. I can fix it with a song I am God I am God I am God I am God Don’t do that. Don’t do that. Don’t do that. Don’t do that. If I was a vengeful God I’d come and kick your ass If I was compassionate, I guess I’d let it pass If I was a Catholic God, it would be a sin And if He wears togas and a beard, it would do my head right in And if i was a Druid I would look the part And if I was a woman at least I’d have a heart If I was a Chinese God it would be a buck And if i was a Gypsy God it would be bad luck And if i was a stupid God I’d say “Invade Iraq” And if i was a security-God I’d let you in ‘round the back And if I was a Buddhist God I’d say: “Try again next time” And if I was the Devil I’d say: “You’re doing fine” We are God We are God We are God We are God We are God We are God We are God and this is our world Boys Girls Boys Girls (We are God) Boys Girls (We are God) I told you this was easy Boys Girls (We are God We are God) I told you it was easy We are God We are God

To Get By, Lie 05:07

People often ask me: How do I get by? Well, I dance a lot to James Brown and check-out Zappa on the fly I once saw Prince in full effect and that’s the reason why I always turn to music I always turn to music I always turn to music - and that helps me to get by People often ask me: How do I get through? When we’re paying for the mayor’s lunch and he ignores me and you There’s no one left to represent me. There’s only one thing left to do That’s why I always turn to music I always turn to music I always turn to music - and that helps me to get through People often tell me how it is that they get by Some drink a little whisky. Some get a little high Some brush the bubbles from the butter if they’re making pie And then they turn to music Then they turn to music Then they turn to music - and that’s how they get by People often ask me: How do I get through? Well, sometimes I wanna make love, sometimes I wanna screw I once tried breaking furniture, but it was just no use That’s why i turn to music That’s why i turn to music That’s why i turn to music - and that helps me to get through People often ask me: How do I get by? Whenever I take some screen time I see a lotta people die Some jump from burning buildings that seem to reach up to the sky Some get crushed in their houses Get crushed in their own houses Get crushed in their own houses one or two storeys high People often ask me: How do I get by? Well, I like to meet cool people and look ‘em in the eye If I tell a little truth, it makes a lotta people cry And I like to keep them happy Oh yes I like to keep them happy Oh yes I like to keep them happy - so I tell a little lie

Stop Feeding People 04:56
lyrics

Tolerant residents seem: “to want vagrants to stay” “They been donating money and food”, it was claimed. Several times when police have tried to apprehend the pest Members of the Public stepped in, preventing the arrest Stop feeding people living on the streets Stop feeding people living on the streets And when Officers have arrested, they get no support. Time after time, cases are thrown out by the Courts All this was revealed by the local town PC When discussing homelessness at a Totnes Council Meeting Stop feeding people living on the streets Stop feeding people living on the streets Bowls of soft summer fruits and assorted treats Stop feeding people living on the streets And the size of this problem: is it a tribe or a coven? PC Local Town said: “Vagrancy’s risen from four to a dozen. The people of Totnes seem very tolerant And the vagrants seem quite happy, they’ve got everything they want" Stop feeding people living on the streets Stop feeding people living on the streets Bowls of soft summer fruits and assorted treats Stop feeding people ~ Councillor Mead explained “they come from Exeter way They’re not like the usual vagrants that we have to stay They sometimes get abusive, they have dogs on string.” The Lady Mayor stood up and said: “I know just the very thing” So Totnes feels hostage to about a dozen bums Homelessness as lifestyle and the problem has been dumped Upon my doorstep: But I can see a way through I’ll let Chris tell ya all about it when he sings Me and You (Here we go) Stop feeding people living on the streets Stop feeding people living on the streets Bowls of soft summer fruits and assorted treats Stop feeding people living on the streets

Me & You 05:06
lyrics

We got brown, yellow, pink and black And something that looks like blue too We got all shapes and sizes And gifts and surprises That ain't just a tool for the few Who talk about sharing, who’re really past caring Except they’re part of the crew They’re me and you. They’re me and you. We got leaders lying and dealers buying And rains-a-falling with smokestack lighting We got pipelines leaking And the filth is reeking The trees are falling for you Yes me and you. Me and you. We got to stop needing and greedily feeding And tasting and wasting And blaming and shaming and Take hold of my hand It’s me and you. Me and you. ~ We got sunshine and laughter lines And love lighting up our faces too We got healing and sealing And trusting and healing It’s joining all races and filling the spaces And now we’re travelling through That’s me and you. Me and you. We got to stop taking and lusting and faking ‘Citing and fighting Or making or breaking and Look into my eyes It’s me and you. It’s me and you ~

Francis was the first man around the world Just like Neil who first went to the moon However, Neil had the United States To help the mission stay in tune Francis only set sail with The South Hams Boogie That Devon belle with her bouncing boy Swaying hips and a belly button ring She’s got Chomsky tattooed on her tum Ana as she walks he seems to sing: Come with the tide That lives inside The South Hams Boogie ~ Dan’s the Don. He rocks rock and art He don’t seem to do much: ‘cept work & play “Tell me why he ain’t some big star?” That’s what everybody round here says Then says Dan “I’m the man with The South Hams Boogie!” Heather’s Hair, just like Robert Plant’s He’s seventeen, she’s forty eight Oh yeah, she teaches Arapahoe social etiquette And at the weekend sells real estate Heather’s Hair Best beware The South Hams Boogie ~ Some cat said to me: “How come you’re so cool? Y’got so much energy, yet you look like a gnome. You make me feel great You make me feel great, tho’ you act like a fool.” I told him: “I always leave when it’s time to go home And there’s no doubt That I’ve run-out of The South Hams Boogie!” God didn’t put you here to moan and whine God taught me how to ball and shout God gave you life to have a good time Now I’m feeling great, I’m gonna work it out I’m feeling good Like I know I should with The South Hams Boogie Boogie-woogie Boogie-woogie-woogie

Here she comes, yowzah! Married couples get into trouble This never happened to Catherine and Potemkin When she got bored she wrote to Voltaire And Issac Newton. What a Queen! Would Liz would write to Chomsky or Stephen Hawking? Catherine was interested, you know what I mean When he got angry, he built a navy But Prince Potemkin always had a heart Faberge eggs, oak smoked bacon, Singing telegrams composed by Mozart Married couples get into trouble This never happened to Catherine and Potemkin Married couples get into trouble This never happened to Catherine and Potemkin Potemkin declared war, but then fell ill So, his opponents agreed to a truce When he got better, he kicked their asses That Potemkin, he ruled the roost When they got blocked between the sheets She picked a soldier, he picked a peach There was never any misunderstanding or barrier they couldn’t breach Married couples get into trouble, This never happened to Catherine and Potemkin Poland and the corridor are yours if you throw three or more Harlow was his idea, he built new towns throughout Crimea Simply for the Queen’s delight, he brought Handel in for bonfire night. Catherine never let Potemkin down They let each other be; and there were other parts of town Married couples get into trouble This never happened to Catherine and Potemkin Married couples get into trouble This never happened to Catherine and Potemkin When they met, they had it all So they got wed, and had a ball

Just the other day, when I had sung my song I said I felt like a twenty year old and Kris said he’d get me one And the Rock Lobster inside me ran with these stack of plates And threw them in the spotlight coming through the heavenly gates All decency has broken down Life is just no good I’m gonna breed a liberal army To take back my neighborhood A little liberal army marching through the streets Stamping ignorance and want beneath our feet My little liberal army’s revolutionary too They don’t need no General, they know just what to do Rock Lobster’s insatiable, incalculable need That’s a lotta Lobster posts, if I’m gonna breed A little liberal army that’s gonna make a change So everything will be cool after World War Shane A little liberal army marching through the streets Stamping ignorance and want beneath our feet My little liberal army’s revolutionary too They don’t need no General, they know what to do A little liberal army. Let my flag unfurl Coz a little liberal army's a lotta boys and girls A little liberal army and a lotta groovy chicks Will make the world a better place and save us from the pits A little liberal army marching through the streets Stamping ignorance and want beneath our feet My little liberal army’s revolutionary too They don’t need no General, they know just what to do Cha-cha-cha!

I heard this American. He told the truth. He swore an awful lot and I just thought "Strewth, I wish that I could swear like that, it sounds so fine to me Appropriate when describing an atrocity" The best ever Coca-Cola ad and the Devil giving head And the US as Jack Palance when he shot the farmer dead And the farmer was Iraq, and it could be Iran next And then he dished advertising, it really was the best ~ I mean he torched those monsters, then he kicked George Michael's ass And with Claudia Schiffer's mouth he told it like it was Everybody: Rednecks in the country, rednecks in the town Rednecks in the Government, rednecks in a gown If you ain't digging Bill Hicks I'm gonna ask you why If you ain't digging Bill Hicks I've gotta make you try You've gotta dig some Bill Hicks just once before you die If you ain't digging Bill Hicks it's gonna make me cry ~ Thought I'd died and gone to Heaven when I saw him on the screen In fact he'd died and gone to heaven, and I know just what that means He said "Let's use the money that we spend on guns On feeding and housing every single one And then to explore inner and outer space" I've gotta tell you, I'm already in that place Where LA policemen have really great big balls Unfeasibly large testicles What you reading for? Coke machine's in school The comic's making sense. The President's a fool If you ain't digging Bill Hicks I'm gonna ask you why If you ain't digging Bill Hicks I've gotta make you try You've gotta dig some Bill Hicks just once before you die If you ain't digging Bill Hicks, well it's gonna make me cry Cry, cry, cry Cry, cry-cr-cr-cry-cry Cry, cry, cry Cry, cry, cry

Here's Johnny 03:59

Secure accommodation, for eleven years I thought I saw you waiting outside for Dr Pearce I was taking too much acid and drinking too much beer An' sniffing cocaine poppers to face down the fear I tried to kill myself they said, I can’t remember I’ve been on day release...ooooh...since last September I breakfast in the Castle, And now I’m going straight I’m only smoking skunkweed and hardly sleeping late Remember that steadicam movie, racing down the hall Tri-cy-cle boy, screaming people. And the blood and all I’m strolling through the Narrows, early morning fog In the Butterwalk someone’s shouting: “Anyone seen my dog?” Now I find that Totnes is so good for mining Character actors, taken from The Shining I’m bearded, I’m better, dressed in my Sunday best Like the Doctors going fishing in the Cuckoo’s Nest Picking up the local paper “Dog injured in hit and run” Emotion floods my brain. I’ve got to tell someone That taking too much acid and drinking too much beer It’s simply the “too much” that activates the fear Tobacco and others have kept me sedated Now in my twilight years I have been Valproated Time matters. That’s all. There’s no such thing as money The doctors did their job. I’m back. Here’s Johnny! Time matters. That’s all. There’s no such thing as money The doctors did their job. I’m back. Here’s Johnny!

Finally died and gone to Heaven, I ran into Brian Jones He was jamming with the celestial look-a-like Rolling Stones He started playing Mother’s Little Helper Then on auto-harp on Gimme Shelter Then something I didn’t know Kinda Country and kinda slow He kinda stood there and kinda shrugged “I tell you people: rudo dugs” Rudo dugs can’t everybody see Rudo dugs life is sweet Rudo dugs and I’ll be free Rudo dugs when this ain't trash to me Over there was Jimi jamming When The Music’s Over with Jim Morrison One thing I tell ya, Keith Moon on drums The looked like they all died young Pretty young dead things everywhere I looked Hey man, out of the way, it’s Sam Cooke! And Janis croons from her bear skin rug “I tell you people: rudo dugs” Rudo dugs can’t everybody see Rudo dugs life is sweet Rudo dugs and I’ll be free Rudo dugs when this ain't trash to me

Forty thousand families own everything in sight It’s enough to turn you Communist. It just ain't right Sixty million people owning five percent I say it just ain't fair no matter how you look at it Who owns Britain? (I really wanna know) (You and me, please tell me that it’s so) (I really wanna know) Is it you and me, please tell me that it’s so Norfolk for Steve Rogers. Suffolk for Sue Betts And David Guppy to have all those counties Whose names end with sex (sex sex sex...) Martin Champion: Scotland for you. And the Western Isles. Will that do? I bet Bobby Robinson owns most of London Town He was much too clever to let them bring him down Down to the ground Right down Down to the ground ~ You know it seems so good, handing out title deeds Now I know exactly how it feels to be king! Kris Howe: Northumberland. Darren Murphy: Gwent Dave Vose: The Hebrides. Faith Rhodes: Kent Darren Southern: Northern Ireland, Cheshire and the Dales And to you David Baines: A Gwentless Wales Who owns Britain? (I really wanna know) Who owns Britain? (Is it you and me, is it you and me?) Who owns Britain? Who owns Britain? (I really wanna know) Who owns Britain? (Is it you and me, please tell me that it’s so) Forty thousand families own everything in sight It’s enough to turn you Communist. It just ain't right Fifty million people owning five percent I say it just ain't right no matter how you look at it Who owns Britain? Who owns Britain? (I really wanna know) Who owns Britain? Who owns Britain? Who owns Britain? Who owns Britain?

The Greatest 05:10

They say Charles Darwin was the greatest mind of all If you don’t get Charlie you’re really not here at all The world is in the middle of the effect Of everything he wrote and everything he said (Blood, sweat and tears) He proved we’d been here longer than 6,000 years The cost to free thought: blood, sweat and tears They say Albert Einstein was the greatest mind of all Popular with the ladies. Distinguished, but not very tall Energy is matter. Albert Einstein had no doubt Matter is energy. Life flows within you and without (Blood, sweat and tears) Oh yea, and the H-bomb. We’ll be paying for it for years The cost of free thought: blood, sweat and tears They say Adam Smith was the greatest mind of all Free trade among free people was the answer to be sure Does it say something about you? Or does it say something about me? But I sort of smiled embarrassed when I said the word “free” (Blood, sweat and tears) Now we’re down in Mesopotamia for ten or twenty years The cost of free thought: blood, sweat and tears They say Karl Marx was the greatest mind there is Each according to their need, and thieves would not exist I really dig the bit where he says Nationalise the land And Nationalise the banks: don’t it sound just grand (Blood, sweat and tears) Some are more equal than others. Especially the thieves The cost of free thought: blood, sweat and tears ~ They say Germaine Greer is the greatest mind alive She made everyone realise, that everyone needs a wife Germaine’s really, really interesting. I wish that she were Queen Does a man have to be a househusband to understand what I mean? (Blood, sweat and tears) That sorting out the childcare can sometimes be a sweat The cost of free thought: equal pay you stupid get! ~ The world is in the middle of the effect Of everything he wrote (Blood, sweat and tears) And everything he said (Blood, sweat and tears) They say Germaine Greer is the greatest mind alive

Feel like I'm coming to the end Of one of my many lives Think I'll pack it in and buy a pick-up Drive it down to St Ives I need lovey-dove the whole day long I'll show you what I mean later on Coz you're the reason why I feel so, feel so Young - playing when you're old and grey Young - feeling 25, most every day Young - old and wise, now I can say Young - just let the boy play......... Just let the boy play! ~ Looks like you're dealing me the ace of spades I won't let it bring me down The Showbiz kids put their light on the shade When the Joker comes into town How many smiles in a rainbow? How many kisses in a ton? How many lovers, one-two-three How many lovers? Feel so young Feel so young Feel so young Young - playing when you're old and grey Young - feeling 25, most every day Young - old and wise, now I can say Young - just let the boy play......... Just let the boy play! Just let the boy play! ~
