Baby Burglar
Guide-less baby burglar Where are you heading to? How could you be so selfish How can you be so cruel Following in the footsteps of your mentor Not knowing how you’ve Broken all the rules Adrift on your ship of fools Aimlessly you turn your blind eye To all that’s in your path upside down Oblivious in your destruction Turning other hopes into… Dying embers, and their ashes into dust Oh baby burglar I once trod in your creeping foot steps Going equipped into the night If I were to turn This weapon upon you Who would be wrong, who would right? Well, Jesus Christs sake baby burglar Where will this wanton action end Under the wheels of a crazy horse Dragged off in a moment of madness Oh baby burglar I once trod in your creeping foot steps Oh baby burglar I once trod in your creeping foot steps Your cause of action, so easily avoided Not even your god himself could defend What a tragic mess we are in baby burglar Their grief will tear and consume but will never end Faith and time shall prevail over all It’s bright shining light Will find wrong from right Offer you a life time to ponder Think this tragedy through Oh baby burglar I once trod in your creeping foot steps Oh, small time murderer May god forgive your misguided steps Oh baby burglar Oh baby burglar Oh baby burglar

C’est La Vie
Life begins at five to eight No time to waste, it will not wait A lay-in that was yesterday Up and at 'em into the fray There’ll be no time to catch your breath The enemy of life is death So sweep the hallway, mop the wall Your destinies about to call… The legislations in the bag Justice a toothless old hag It’s every man now on his own It’s all for one, you’d better run And stand up tall against the wall And one by one you all shall fall And though you’ll try to get back home Your cupboards bare, without a bone Je ne le fais pas, c’est la vie C’est comme ça que, ça va être Je ne le fais pas, c’est la vie C’est comme ça que, ça va être Stand up tall against the wall One by one you all shall fall And though you’ll try to get back home The cupboards bare, without a bone Some call it Armageddon I’m sure you’ve heard them say It’s a Tyrannical heaven And we’re only a moment away Je ne le fais pas, c’est la vie C’est comme ça que, ça va être Je ne le fais pas, c’est la vie C’est comme ça que, ça va être
What On Earth Is It (You Take Me For?)
I can barely keep the pace As I bolt out the door The watershed dissolves Into families at war The crude tube bogs me out With a cucumber sandwich Between the cause And the emotional damage What on earth is it you take me for Is your ego doing battle with the ratings Mocking the afflicted to the very core Take responsibility for your failings Matron! (Take the money, open the box) (Take the money, open the box) The problem as I see it And I’m not one to judge But your void of compassion Takes a dive in the sludge What on earth is it you take me for Do you judge me purely on the ratings You bend me like a pretzel, now I’m down on all fours The money box is open for the takings Matron! Abigail and Brittney perform the truffle shuffle They are having a go in all the kerfuffle Now don’t squirm in your chair, you are the sole director So just pull the fucking plug out from its connector Gawping at the dot, disappear into the screen Stand up to attention for your country and queen Fellow brothers and sisters, follow your instinct Avoid being sucked into the prosperous jive (Take the money, open the box) (Take the money, open the box) I can barely keep the pace as I bolt out the door The ninth bell tolls and it’s Pussy Galore What on earth is it you take me for Do you judge me purely on the ratings You bend me like a pretzel, now I’m down on all fours The money box is open for the takings What on earth is it you take me for Do you judge me purely on the ratings If I bend just a little further more I’m likely to chuck up upon your failings' railings What on earth is it you take me for Do you judge me purely on the ratings You bend me like a pretzel, now I’m down on all fours The money box is open for the takings
Hour Of Need
I just can’t sleep Will it ever be light The nights dragged on so long Hold my hand lightly dear I fear there’s something wrong And it’s cold and I’m lonely I want to rest my head But hold, hold me gently And lead me to my bed This feeling, of uncertainty Just don’t know where to go Serenity’s lost and out of reach The night is cold as snow So be my protector In this my Hour of Need Bring to me some comfort Bring to me some ease Oh so hold me so closely Hold me oh so near And let nothing come between us Burn away my fear Cause it’s cold, and I’m lonely I want to rest my head Oh Hold, hold me gently And lead me to my bed Just one touch Just one moment Just one kind word whispered in my ear So captivating circulating permeating illuminating So be my protector In this my Hour of Need Bring to me some comfort Bring to me some ease Hold me oh so closely Hold me oh so near Let nothing come between us Burn away my fear

The Law According To Dr. Kippah
Everybodies thoughts are with you Take my hand and don’t let go Father Patrick offers escape For the cripples down below Right beside you night and day Transfixed by twilight, flicker away Making love to bitter sweet dreams The Master of illusion shall redeem Hanging on in their reiterative prayer Your loved ones comfort Though in despair Silence is welcomed on a crashing shore The shadow of movement shall no more Do you recall the battle scene Where billy the hero loses his queen To ruben the pycho High on meth-amphetamine Never the less once we were a team Though I don’t expect any miracles Try to envisage the wonder of it all We would captivate and amuse We will always be here looking up to you Well She is making some kind of progress, overall What we have here is a failure to communicate Oh father I’ve seen the light And I comprehend your teachings Oh father I just can’t fight To break free of this feeling Cast your mind back 40 odd years to the Summer of love still ringing in your ears Hampstead heath and ice cold beers Dancing in the moonlight to golden years Mr blue sky doubles over Thigh high deep in fields of clover Making love to bitter sweet dreams The Master of illusion shall redeem Hanging on in their reiterative prayer Your loved ones comfort Though in despair Silence is welcomed on a crashing shore The shadow of movement shall no more Dare not re-enact that battle scene Along high-gate road with the Highbury Though we never rocked to rule supreme We stood our ground in the face of adversity (Adversity, adversity, adversity, adversity) Enrico Sidoli dissolves with the holy ghost Oh father I’ve seen the light And I comprehend your teachings But father I just can’t fight To break free of this feeling Oh father I’ve seen the light And I comprehend your teachings But father I just can’t fight To break free of this feeling (Feeling feeling ahhhh)
