You ride down the street on your Honda,
Looking a bit like Peter Fonda;
As you disappear into the blue yonder,
I’m left to chew, spew and ponder.
When I see you smeared in leather,
You could knock me over like a feather;
I dream of a life together,
My emotions are stretched to a tether..
Take off your jacket and your baseball cap.
Jump off your saddle and leap on my lap.
Gearbox Gertie, ha ha
You're so dirty, oh oh
Gearbox Gertie, ha ha
You're so dirty, oh oh
When you fly by on your wheels,
You’ve no idea how my heart feels;
When I see you stride by in your heels,
The blood in my veins congeals.
You’re an goddess on rubber and chrome,
I can’t wait to take you home;
No matter where my mind doth roam,
My words for you would fill a tome.
Take off your jacket and your baseball cap.
Jump off your saddle and leap on my lap.
Gearbox Gertie, ha ha
You're so dirty, oh oh
Gearbox Gertie, ha ha
You're so dirty, oh oh
Gearbox Gertie, ha ha
You're so dirty, oh oh
Gearbox Gertie, ha ha
You're so dirty, oh oh

My body is a shrine, I will not abuse it
The world is a time bomb, I want to diffuse it
A jockey killed at the races is the news I want to hear
I’m an eco-fascist as Martyrdom draws near!

If we keep on killing whales think of all the plankton we’ll save
Mr. Huntsman have a care I might ravage your grave
Let’s raid the mink farm let the poor blighters go
To savage on the sheep around and let the poor grass grow!
Vegans in Furs
Vegans in Furs
Vegans in Furs
Vegans in Furs
No ham, no pork, no meat for me
Organic rice and tofu I’ll live till eighty-three
All these cigarettes I smoke leave me short of breath
If the smokin’ don’t kill me I’ll drink myself to death!

When my daddy went away,
Uncle Jack came to stay;
And my mummy acted funny,
Told me to go out and play.
Don’t be rude to Uncle Jack!
Don’t you ever answer back!
Don’t you stare and don’t you swear!
Don’t be rude to Uncle Jack!
He slept in my mummy’s room,
It smelt of sweat and old perfume;
Lots of groans, lots of moans,
The bed springs played a merry tune.
Don’t be rude to Uncle Jack!
Don’t you ever answer back!
Don’t you stare and don’t you swear!
Don’t be rude to Uncle Jack!
He bought my mummy treats,
Every day she washed the sheets;
I don’t mind, he’s so kind,
He gave me a bag of sweets.
Don’t be rude to Uncle Jack!
Don’t you ever answer back!
Don’t you stare and don’t you swear!
Don’t be rude to Uncle Jack!

It’s been raining non stop since the beginning of May
God will have a shock when he sees His water bill
Lightning splinters the sky and the thunder applauds
Water level is rising above my windowsill!
Hey! Mr. Weatherman! You didn’t tell me that!
You let me down you left me flat!
The ridge of high pressure that was not to be
Next time. I’ll stay indoors! It won’t matter to me!
Temperature is rising it’s ninety degrees
Tiny beads of sweat drip from my nose
The ‘Rain Stopped Play’ card is gathering dust
My garden is dying and I can’t use my hose!
Hey! Mr. Weatherman! You didn’t tell me that!
You let me down you left me flat!
The ridge of high pressure that was not to be
Next time. I’ll stay indoors! It won’t matter to me!
The forecast is for snow but I see no gritter
Hey! Where’s my sleigh? Let’s go berserk!
There’s twelve inch drifts and my car is buried
What a good excuse not to go to work!
Hey! Mr. Weatherman! You didn’t tell me that!
You let me down you left me flat!
The ridge of high pressure that was not to be
Next time. I’ll stay indoors! It won’t matter to me!

Have you heard the news?
Death of a world figure
Such spirit and passion
No one’s heart was bigger
Tributes come in
From countries far away
All world leaders rise
They speak up and say
What a Great Man
What a Great Man he was
What a Great Man
What a Great Man he was
What a Great Man
What a Great Man he was
What a Great Man
What a Great Man he was
Such hypocrisy!
All this false flattering
When he was alive
He had a political battering
Why must he die
To receive any praise?
Let him rest in Peace
Away from hostile gaze!
What a Great Man
What a Great Man he was
What a Great Man
What a Great Man he was
What a Great Man
What a Great Man he was
What a Great Man
What a Great Man he was
Have you heard the news?
Death of a world figure
Such spirit and passion
No one’s heart was bigger
Why must he die
To receive any praise?
Let him rest in Peace
Away from hostile gaze!
What a Great Man
What a Great Man he was
What a Great Man
What a Great Man he was
What a Great Man
What a Great Man he was
What a Great Man
What a Great Man he was

I’m a God robed in leather
I’m a genius I’m divine
I splice old records together
And add a bass line
I call myself a musician
‘Cos I make people dance
I’m in a wealthy position
I always demand an advance
I’m DJ Shithead
I’m DJ Shithead
I’m DJ Shithead
I’m DJ Shithead
I don’t know chords or doh ray me
Gimme more some champagne
I steal other people’s melodies
And live tax-free in Spain!
Gimme dough! Gimme bread!
I got gold dust on my teeth
My name is DJ Shithead
I’m a musical thief!
I’m DJ Shithead
I’m DJ Shithead
I’m DJ Shithead
I’m DJ Shithead

F.T. Index is on the increase
Listen to what those assholes say!
We’re another step nearer nuclear peace
Listen to what those assholes say!
The price of property is on the way up
Listen to what those assholes say!
United to beat Rovers again in the cup
Listen to what those assholes say!
They think they know it all
Letters after their names
One day they’ll stumble and fall
Hold their heads in shame
There’s been a rise in juvenile crime
Listen to what those assholes say!
We should meet the deadline ahead of time
Listen to what those assholes say!
Wet and windy weather will spread form the west
Listen to what those assholes say!
It looks like we’re coming off second best
Listen to what those assholes say!
They think they know it all
Letters after their names
One day they’ll stumble and fall
Hold their heads in shame

52nd State

A land of a proud history,
Of legend, myth and mystery;
Uncle Sam eyeing us like a vulture,
We blindly absorb their culture.
This is our fate….52nd state
It’s all too late…..52nd state
A prairie dog caught in a trap,
Digging, digging at the gap;
Its snout appears under the fence,
We’ll soon be buying candy with cents!
This is our fate….52nd state
It’s all too late…..52nd state
New World gave us trick or treat,
Whatever’, ‘awesome’ and ‘neat’;
Blessed us with post match stats,
And reversible baseball hats.
This is our fate….52nd state
It’s all too late…..52nd state
Becoming more American 24/7,
Bound to the mourning of 9/11;
Would we grieve a plane crash in Berlin,
Or Toronto or Beijing?
This is our fate….52nd state
It’s all too late…..52nd state
