Zombie Eyes

A-Tick tock, turn off the box
A-Tick-tick tock, you’re looking lost
A-Tick tock, turn off the box
A-Tick tick tick tick, tick tick tick,
Zombie, Zombie, Zombie-eyes
Zombie, Zombie, Zombie-eyes
Zombie, Zombie, Zombie-eyes
She sure has got, Zombie-eyes

I think that I’m, a-doing fine
I am Just, out-side my mind
I think that I, am A-okay
Kickin’ about, most of the day.

You may just, even realise
Far from dead-I’m, very-much alive
You may even, be surprised
To see I’ve got those, zombie eyes

Zombie, Zombie, Zombie-eyes
Zombie, Zombie, Zombie-eyes
Zombie, Zombie, Zombie-eyes
She sure has got, Zombie-eyes

I think that it-could, work o-kay
I fall apart when, ever-you’re away
I don’t think that, I need a life
When I see your, Zombie eyes!

Zombie, Zombie,
Zombie, Zombie,
Zombie, Zombie,
Zombie-eyes

You're Unbelievable

I’ve got to break this habit I’ve got
Got to get off, executive drugs
I’ve been wholly credit crunched
I can’t keep up with, the magic dust.

I’ve got to break this habit I’ve got
Every morning, I make love
You may think I’m a cupid stunt
But I worn my knob, to a twelve inch stump

I’ve got to break this habit I’ve got
A barrel of beer just isn’t enough
I’ve got to break this habit I’ve got
Every day I plot to kill my boss
I’ve got to break this habit I’ve got

Tell the truth my teachers preached
And life will treat you, “Oh, so sweet”
Never heard such amazing tosh
So I veneer my life with a sheen of gloss

Little, inconsequential me
You might call them worthless lies
I call them my,
Disguise

You may hate the daylight

You may hate the daylight,
When-it rains You may think that
your home town is strange
You may not believe, that
there’s a place inside my heart,
for a town called nowhere

We may rush in head-strong
Without thought, We may make an
historical mistake
We may not con+sider
the lives of next-door neighbours
in a place called nowhere

               (I know not what path
others take…

but-I’ve been a different person
I’ve been in other worlds than this – you know
It’s what it means to me

To be some act-real person
To be some-one who knows which – way to go

It’s just a show

…give me death
or  lib-er-ty)

I will try to contact
You one day, I’ll even say
there is some other way
even though we’re parted
I will always come back -
to a town called nowhere

Whatever happened to Baby Jade?

Three-fourteen AM - stop the press
Jade Goody admits she is dead

‘Family would like privacy.’
It seems a little late to ask
Goody's body was placed in the back of an estate car and driven away.
Surely the best in UGC
Plastination not withstanding

She died on Mother’s Day, aw shucks
This second coming This
perfect people’s princess prasad
This lady dies
Not with laughing but with screaming
I hope, in my heart
One less bullying
Big fat momma

The Word of God

Got no messiahs / Om my mind,
No prophets predicting / The flow of time,
No father, Son, nor Holy Ghost
Got no sacrificial goat.
Words are made by
The noises we utter
From each to each
And each to the other
And others are made
By the touch of a lover
And lovers are made
In the sibilant whisper
Of words that twist and slip - And slither.

Got no miracles / Down my street
No forbidden apples / Fall at my feet
No Adam & Eve, nor Cain & Able
No parables, hymns, nor fables.

Words are stated visions, given
Life by air we breath
Be they first, or be they last,
they’re
Nothing but our dreams…
You can grab ‘em
You can pack ‘em
You can wrap ‘em
You can have ‘em
You can need ‘em
You can heed ‘em
You can take ‘em
You can leave ‘em

Got no kingdom come / To go to
No subway ticket / To Hell’s inferno,
No paradise to reward the strife
No Virgin-Mary-Bloody-Wife

And dreams do not become
Reality
On the wings of some great
Prayer,
For prayers are nought but
Visions stated in the stale and
Stagnant
Air, that is words.
You can grab ‘em
You can pack ‘em
You can wrap ‘em
You can have ‘em
You can need ‘em
You can heed ‘em
You can take ‘em
You can leave ‘em
You can lose ‘em
You can smooth ‘em
You can move ‘em
You can groove ‘em
You can pick ‘em
You can clip ‘em
You can miss ‘em
You can hiss ‘em
You can hug ‘em
You can love ‘em
You can suck ‘em
You can…

Got no herein-therafter / Got no earthly-holy father
No touch of god, nor sense of sin / Just this space, that I stand in,
& Here I stand, or here I fall,
& That is that for
that is all.

Winners

When Stockton wins the lottery / Hooray Hooray
We’ll have another building for free / Hooray Hooray
All the men will work, for a week or two
And then you know
what they’re gonna do
They’ll be pissing on the
Likes of me and you
When the lottery comes to town.

They’ll get the royals to open it up / Hooray Hooray
And we should not believe our luck / Hooray Hooray
We’ll have our own monstrosity / On the corner of
 Prince Regent’s street
It’ll gleam, n it’ll sheen / n it’ll be real neat
When the lottery comes to town.

The queen will make a speech to us / Hooray, hooray
Her loyal subjects under foot / Hooray, Hooray
My husband and I couldn’t give a fuck
About your lives, / n how it’s tough
Your far too dirty n covered up in muck
You don’t speak my language, do you dears, you sound too rough
These doors, all shiny, will be staying firmly shut
For what’s inside is far too good
For people with your kind of luck
And by royal decree, this shrine is reserved for we
               When the lottery comes to town.

They act as if it’s understood / Hooray, Hooray
They can twist and turn our neighbourhood / Hooray, Hooray
It may not seem like very much / But we call it home
N we love it as such
So stop tearing all our favourite buildings down
               Don’t let the lottery fuck with your town.

What’s your poison

What’s you poison, have you worked it out?
Do you drink too much
Do you twist and shout
Do you watch TV
Do you play about
Do you smoke the contents of the kitchen cupboard
Do you pray to god
Do you love your mother
Do you have a long lost forgotten brother
Did you marry yourself to a high class hooker
Did you escape in one way or another?
Lest we forget those that give, of their lives
So that we may look good naked
Do you secretly wish you were circumcised
Do you want to be arranged by the surgeon’s knives

What’s you poison, have you worked it out?
Do you eat only the crumbliest flakiest chocolate
Do you press one hundred and sixty nine pounds
Do you suffer Triskaidekaphobia
Do you spit or swallow often enough
Do you piss in a bucket
Do you play chess / Do you like it rough
Do you re-use plastic carrier bags
Did you see yourself upon the slab
Did you think that death would be the last

What’s you poison, have you worked it out?
Do you have yourself a nice little stash
Do you get erections when you take a slash
Do you read of peados and cruelly laugh
Do you fuck yourself with hammer shafts
Do you dream of blowing the Taliban away
Do you think I’m alright Jack, I’m okay
Do you think you’ve got, nothing to hide
