Had To Swerve

Living underneath a dome
I'm blind running fifty feet up
I'm back on the heavy stuff
But my friends are cracking up
A paler thief and me
Hanging from a tree
Flyers falling through the streets
Ripped up and scattered like ashes on a bus seat
There's going to be a vote
Does your father hear himself?
There's a war on
There's a war on
(You must be joking)
The turmoil of it all
They took her head off clean
And they sold it on a stall
It was a bride to be
She was found feet deep
Deep in seeping earth
I'm sprawled on the curb
Like a fox that got hit by a truck
I'm talking to the rats
While they're licking up my blood
Kick me off the road
I know it's a long shot
I know you're on your way
To a dogging spot
I'm living in a ballet box
Does your father hear himself?
There's a war on, there's a war on

Magic Portal

Chime the dawn bell
In the magic portal
Potions of automated girls
Jet fuel pools that melt the gels
Nothing more, nothing less
Hell bound but heaven sent
That's the stuff, that's the stuff, that's the stuff
Some West Country golem
Imprisons me in granite jaw
I'm living like a minotaur
In a maze of my own making
Nothing more, nothing less
Hell bound but heaven sent
That's the stuff, that's the stuff, that's the stuff
They're skinning mermaids
Down in the marina and wearing their flesh for booties
I got pulverised in a meteor strike
And the street cleaners sucked up my soot
Nothing more, nothing less
Hell bound but heaven sent
That's the stuff, that's the stuff, that's the stuff
Nothing more, nothing less
Hell bound but heaven sent
That's the stuff, that's the stuff, that's the stuff

Missus

Days work, I'm not feeling the perks just yet
Now the summer's left me in the lurch
Golden years crying communal tears
They first put a bollard on the bitter that burst
I'm so tired of the future looking ugly
I'm so tired of the politics
Nights out let's crush all our brains
Into our arses as we head butt the bus
Pet lamb, we don't want to get banned
Let's move our just physical romance in land
I'm looking at all of those people
I'm happy here where I know
Missus, I don't want to be all kisses
In front of my mates at the mine
Oi, mum why you spoiling my fun?
I swear by myself I was getting on fine
I'm so tired of the future looking ugly
I'm so tired of the politics
Cut lawn, sheep have been shorn
And I'm in getting mine done this afternoon
In bloom, I'm picking the wrong mushrooms
On the signs doing rude cartoons
I'm looking at all of those people
I'm happy here where I know
Days work, I'm not feeling the perks just yet
Now the summer's left me in the lurch
Golden years crying communal tears
They first put a bollard on the bitter that burst
