Don't run with the clique
Expand your mind and chase thrills
Life should be a feast
Not prescription pills
Welcome to a New Lanark
No more dark satanic mills
Just dear green faced panic
Elitism kills
This may be a hellish place
But it's all we have
Bonded by mutual hate
Cynical and sad
Look at me
On my balcony
Don't look at me
On the balcony
Sucking on the knuckle of my thumb
Nowhere else to be
Staring at the sun
Sluddenly I see

If I lose my way I will shut my eyes and turn my head
If I lose my way I will shut my eyes and turn my head
Dragonhide
Dragonhide
What filthy tricks do you play on the sick?
Doctoring the patients
Are you thick skinned or just thick, thick, thick?
Just an observation
Dragonhide
Dragonhide
A man is dying naturally
Purging the intake
Shedding scales gradually
She's a dragon with a headache

Everything is hate
We are all hate
Tied together by Ruth's hair ribbons
Men are pies that bake and eat themselves
And the recipe is hate
Asthma

As Britain lyes in guilt, you see
Tis asked o reader, art thou free?
Are we free, Mr Rennie?
Of course we are
We're making our own model of the universe
and nobody gives a damn for us
Eenty teenty haligalum
The head is hatched, the sky is crackit
and John Knox boozed up a kee-kark lum
John Knox boozed up a kee-kark lum
We're making our own model of the universe
and nobody gives a damn for us
and all the Gods are humpy kee-kark,
kee-kark, kee-kark

Chaos

I wish I was a duck on Alexandra Park pond
I could swim, and fly, and walk and have three wives,
and everything I wanted
But I'm a man. I have a mind,
and three library tickets,
and everything I want is impossible.
No kindly future
will ever repair
a past as vile as ours,
and even if we do achieve a worldwide democratic
socialist state it won't last.
Nothing decent lasts.
All that lasts is this mess of fighting and pain
and I object to it!
I object!
I object!

Domestic Man
02:28
|

The cake she baked me bit me till I cried
The bed she made me was so hard I nearly died
The shirt she washed me folded its arms and tied me up inside
She's going domestic
She's got a great big domestic plan
But please baby believe me lady I am
not a domestic man
She cleans windows till they shine so I can't see
She polishes floors till they suck my foot in up to the knee
She papers rooms till the walls start squeezing in on me
She's going domestic
She's got a great big domestic plan
But please baby believe me lady I am
not a domestic man
not a domestic man
not a domestic man

Here's the thing, here's the list
I am a lanarkist
I'm well hard and I'm well read
I'd rather be unthanked than undead
Hey Mr Gray
I wanna be
