about

There was nothing I had to say over the top of this aggressive rock calypso until the mess we found ourselves in now took its roots. A rant at the powers that be, and the people who created the situation. That would be all of us then! A silent prayer for the future hidden underneath my rantings here.

lyrics

My God I woke up sore from the night before with a doubt ringing in my head.
Did we really do the things we said we’d do? Did we mean the words that we said?
When I saw the score, I knew all before had come crashing round our heads,
The morning news that I woke up to focussed all of my nagging dreads.

So I say my friends, you ought to leave,
This house just aint a home
You’d want to bring your kids into;
You’re better off alone.

This aint love, this aint love
But there’s no word to describe the feeling.

Well it don’t take a drink to make me think we’re hardly swimming in the pink,
But when the belt gets tight it gets hard to fight the reason money’s getting thin,
You’re getting less for more and one thing’s for sure, it’s not the outside that’s causing the rot withing
So cross your fingers, pray for luck, and hope that ship’s still coming in.

So I say my friends, you ought to leave,
This house just aint a home
You’d want to bring your kids into;
You’re better off alone.

This aint love, this aint love
But there’s no word to describe the feeling.

If you build a wall you’re a stuck with what’s inside
If you scratch the surface beware what underlies.
There’s an irony to the idea of ‘mankind’
At the top the ladder you’ll find we’re find,
So pull the ladder you know we’re fine.

Well now I’d love to say Theresa May, but there’s no way I ever think she would,
Save all that there is to lose when you’re free to choose to cash the chips in.

So I say my friends, you ought to leave,
This house just aint a home
You’d want to bring your kids into;
You’re better off alone.

This aint love, this aint love
But there’s no word to describe the feeling.
