EMOTIONAL TRIGGERS

Aaaaaaaah 
Emotional triggers flipping my switches,
Pushing my buttons scratching my Itches,

When I was a young boy living in Surrey
Life wasn't that groovy
Like a black-and-white film
(3 2 1)
Bagshot Cricket club disco
Was the only place to go
Hawkwind and Quo, Slade Motown and soul 
We did Greaser dancing,
To Glam rock we were  prancing
Roxy and Bowie in 73.
(2 3 4 now we want a little more)

Emotional triggers flipping my switches,
Pushing my buttons scratching my Itches,

It was year zero 1977
At the vortex and Roxy
We were in Punk rock heaven.
(When DeeDee said 1 2 3 4)

The songs that meant so much to me adverts on the TV trying to sell me furniture or cars I said stop.

We are social networking,
On YouTube we are Twerking
Our iPhones are Beeping
We are constantly tweeting
We get high speed Communications
At the railway station
Emotional triggers are making us bitches.

Emotional triggers flipping my switches,
Pushing my buttons scratching my Itches,

(Carroll J,Carroll P,Cash,Bennett)

I see you walking down the street kicking a Coke can ,
You've got that swagger in your stroll you walk like a bad man,
From the tales of world's end gangbangers are your friends what you see is what you get,
And what you get is respect,
Allo Allo Allo Chelsea aggro
Allo Allo Allo Chelsea aggro
Allo Allo Allo Chelsea aggro

I remember standing in the shed corrugated iron roof over my head,
Shivering on the concrete step in the rain , the place has changed but the songs are the same
Allo Allo Allo Chelsea aggro
Allo Allo Allo Chelsea aggro
Allo Allo Allo Chelsea aggro

And the old bill spend man hours tracking you down,
Even though they don't like your part of town,
You're making money for the legal professions barristers billing lawyers statements and confessions.

People give you space when they see you walking,
People give you respect when you hear them talking,
And you look after your family well,
If anybody crosses them you will give the hell 

Allo Allo Allo Chelsea aggro
Allo Allo Allo Chelsea aggro
Allo Allo Allo Chelsea aggro

ROBIN HOOD IN REVERSE
(Carroll,Payne Cash)
JC Guitar,Ogan Vocals

CP Bass, Backing Vocals
NB Slide Guitar

Well your PR girl says your fabulous and they tell me she should know 
because her brother went of school with you
You're a wizard in communication
A sorcerer of spin,
Which are very useful talents
In the shark pond you swim in
Though they toast you in high places
In the hovels I hear them  curse,
They got a special name for you,
Robin Hood in reverse.

From your penthouse in the city
To your yacht  in the south of France
Your financial acumen is massively enhanced
The way you champion the super rich
And demonise the poor
It will be long before the sans culottes are knocking on your door.

Because it's a special place in hell or 
Juan-les-pins somewhere worse,
For the man they call,
Robin Hood in reverse.

I saw you sitting in your car when I was cycling past 
you didn't look that happy and the car didn't go that fast 
robbing from the poor and giving to the rich I hope that makes you satisfied
I hope it scratches an Itch
your life is all about Money, getting as much as you can, it doesn't make you a nice person who even an attractive
Robin Hood in reverse.

APATHY IN THE UK

(Carroll)
Sitting in a bath chair window by the Estuary
Wondering if the fog will roll in like it did yesterday
Will there be cake for tea or biscuits again
I'm beginning to miss all my friends I can't go out I can't stand TV all this apathy in the UK

Checking up on the spirit of Punk Rock in the mortuary
To my surprise he opened his eyes and he whispered to me
Tell me the news from the front line mate
I wanna see the UK subs before it's too late
Got the X factor on a loop and I can't escape
This apathy in the UK

WORK THE NIGHTSHIFT
(Carroll, Payne)
JC Guitar, Accordian Vocals
NC Drums, Percussion
CP Bass

when the day is very nearly over we rise up from my beds,
put on our Clothes and brush your teeth feel like the living dead
We stumble into the dark the rain the fog and mist
For we must off to work now work the night shift

Like banks of televisions after the close down
One by one the lights go out all across the town
Till only just a few remain
Remain unextinguished
Those the burn for those who work work the night shift

When the sun returns, returns with the dawn like vampires we must hurry, hurry quietly home. 
Our eyes are sore our skin is pale from the sun what we've missed
This is the look the look at those who work shift

(Carroll)
Im standing at the Platform waiting in the rain,
Its 8.30 in the morning everything is running late,
Theres an incident at Surbiton a Person on the Track,
I don't know when Im getting there or when Im coming Back

There a Deadline at work that I have got to meet,
I've hardly time to breathe never mind eat,
Emails keep coming my head begins to spin
I know the telephone will not stop ringing

Its only january
I need a holiday
I really do not want to go to work today,
I never thought that my life would be like this

I - I - I - am drifting

Staring at the green fields I watch the children play
Life was so much easier than it is today,
My wife wants a bigger house to raise a family,
I really do not know where I'll get the money,

I never thought that my life would be like this

I worked hard for my GCE's
I did everything that was expected of me,
So don't Push me I'm already to close to the edge

There's been an incident at Surbiton on a Train,
And I'm never going home again
It really is a shame to live your life like a Machine,

And I never can say Goodbye,
And I never can Tell a Lie,
So I never can tell you why,
I Chose to End it like this,

So In the Morning when you Kiss your Wife Goodbye,
Look the Girl in the Eye,
And tell her you will really try
To come home safely That Night

There's been an incident at Surbiton on a Train,
And I'm never going home again
It really is a shame to live your life like a Machine,

Surbiton

DOWN TO THE AIRPORT

(Carroll, Crawford)
When I first came to this city as a young man with dreams to fulfill,
I worked hard in the offices I worked hard at the tills,
I was honest and I thought that my labours would earn me comfort 
Like a home for my family and a fire for my old age.
But after all the years of working this town has dragged me down
I feel like I have nothing for all my sweat for my sweat
I'm going down to the airport to catch a plane with my girl it's gonna take me - to the new world.

Oh sweet Marie you look so weary and you eyes have lost their gleam
From all those years working in the gloom of your workroom 
I know your mistress she treats you badly and she doesn't care at all
As long as you see those fancy dresses for the ladies to wear to the ball,
Come with me to a place where we can play in the sun 
We won't work for no pittance we won't work for no one 
I'm going down to the airport to catch a plane with my girl it's gonna take me - to the new world.

Come with me to a place where we can play in the sun 
We won't work for no pittance we won't work for no one 
I'm going down to the airport to catch a plane with my girl it's gonna take me - to the new world.

HERE COME THE BIG BLACK DOG

Here He comes that big black dog again
Howling at the moon  scaring all my friends
Here he comes again

Benny has got two friends one happy and one sad
They never come together it kind of makes him mad
Mary Jane left him feeling all confused
Charlie was a lot of fun
But now he's got the Monday morning blues

Here He comes that big black dog again
Howling at the moon  scaring all my friends
Here he comes again

The bees are making honey the birds sing in the trees
If you've got any money give it to me please
I went to the doctor he said you are basically okay
As long as you remember to take three of these each and every day

Here He comes that big black dog again
Howling at the moon  scaring all my friends
Here he comes again

Here He comes that big black dog again
Howling at the moon  scaring all my friends
Here he comes again

MY WIFE

And God created woman many years ago
He's been working on perfecting the model
So the story goes

Sometimes it takes a long time
To get things right
But now he's reached the pinnacle of perfection
And guess what
It's my wife

She brings me breakfast in the morning
She keeps me warm at night
She can do the Telegraph cryptic crossword
And she gets it All right she's my wife!

She's come along way
Since Adam's rib
And I would need a very long song
To list all the great things she did
She raised the family A career woman as well,
She can make your life heaven but if you cross she'll make it Hell,

She's my wife
She's sweet as sugar
She's  sharp as a knife
She's my wife

She's the light of my life (She's the light of my life)
and I tell you no lie (Tell you no lie)
 She's the Queen of my scene she's my right hand girl she’s the apple in my pie.
And I love that girl forever at least until I die
She's my wife
She's sweet as sugar
She's  sharp as a knife
She's my wife

 

 

ONE LAW

(Payne, Carroll, Cash)
They are knocking down Shepherd's Bush market
Destroying Portobello Road
Gentrification is the name of the game
Denmark Street gun
Kings Road gone
Camden is the next
They say Camden next
One law for the rich
One law for the poor
I don't want to live in a divided country no more.

Workingman can't take his son to the football no more
It's too expensive it's a prohibitive
Woman's got to work and Raise a family
Can't be a housewife be no more no sir.

One law for the rich
One law for the poor
I don't want to live in a divided country no more.

they  are Knocking down public-housing
Building luxury flats for Russian Ogliarchs
And Chinese millionaires
Nobody cares.
One law
One law
One law
One law for the rich
One law for the poor
I don't want to live in a divided country no more.

WHEN I AM KING FOR THE DAY
JC Guitar, Bass Harpsichord, Vocals
NC Drums

My Lords My Ladies my Gentlemen,
please lend me your Ears,
I've got a proclamation,
I've been working on for years,
The System isn't working,
The world it isn't fair,
The Rich are getting Richer,
And no one seems to care,
I got a massive list of things,
That I would like to change

When I am King,
When I am King,
When I am King for the day.

The multinational monsters,
Are having it away,
From the jungles of the Amazon,
To the high street of the UK,
They're killing all the small businesses
Soon everything will be the same,
From New York to Newcastle to New Dehli,
Gap and starbucks will reign,
Unless you and I band together,
And we stand in their way.

When I am King,
When I am King,
When I am King for the day.

When I am King for the day,
I'll make all the childrens homework go away,
What do you say kids. (kids cheer)
Your far too young for working,
You should be out there playing,
What Do you Say,

When I am King for the day,
I'd give all the little people a much bigger say,
In the way we run things,
Its our World anyway.

When I am King,
When I am King,
When I am King for the day.

Here endeth the lesson,
I hope you understand,
For the answer to this problem
is completely in your hands.
The consumers are the Kings and Queens of the future,
Spend your money wisely today,
We need a sustainable planet to live on,
Our children need jobs that really pay,
So we must band together.
And stop the multichains today.
Then we will be Kings,
Kings and Queens,
Kings and Queens for the Day.

 

LIVING THE DREAM

(Carroll, Bennett)
Champagne on ice
Saffron with rice
Vanilla ice cream
These are the things luxury brings
That's what we call - living the dream

Status updates
From glamorous places
Famous faces amongst your friends
Paradise syndrome when you are in Rome
Do as they do not as they say
It all seems so great perfect and fine
Shiny and new divine
On the inside something has died
Things aren't quite as they seem

Then came divorce 
She got the house of course 
He had to move away
These are the things paradise brings
That's what we call living the dream
Everything seems so perfect everything seems so fine
But it was all a dream
We couldn't see the wood for the trees
We were all living in that dream
