Donald's in Town

It was her birthday
The kids made a card
With folded paper
And fading felt tips
No gifts
No money for gifts
No gifts
No money for gifts
It was demo day
Lots of paint and card
Hoping to go viral
For the Insta crowd
Home made
Witty placard parade
Home made
Witty placard parade
And Theresa sobbed
When she left the job
But it never really made the news
‘Cos Donald’s in town
He was early
For her birthday
Didn’t bring a card
It’s all about him
This trip
A massive ego trip
This trip (‘s)
A massive ego trip
(It’s got)
Dinner with a duchess
Supper with a princess
Downing Street too
21-gun salute
All missed
21 guns all missed
All missed
21 guns all missed
And Theresa sobbed
When she left the job
But it never really made the news
‘Cos Donald’s in town
On her birthday
Elvis took his place
In the Empire’s order
Tramp the dirt down
In a crown
How do you tramp the dirt down?
In a crown
You can’t tramp the dirt down
(Well)
She smiled at the kids’ card
Laughed at the placard
Mocking the blowhard
Funny as milkshakes
Milkshakes
Running down Tommy’s face
Milkshakes
Running down Tommy’s face
(Save your outrage)
And Theresa sobbed
When she left the job
But it never really made the news
‘Cos Donald’s in town

Have a Word
02:55

The “Oh Tommy Tommy” thing is getting out of hand
With Stephen Yaxley-Lennon’s miserable band
The “Oh Tommy Tommy” thing isn’t a game
Except with Stephen’s numerous names
The “Oh Tommy Tommy” thing is coming off the rails
Remember the Stow, them turning tail
Their tin foil hats when they sing “Oh Tommy”
And everywhere they look….. is a conspiracy
So, someone have a word about the message from the podia
Someone have a word about a bookshop in Fitzrovia
Someone have a word about Islamophobia
Tell you what…. let’s all have a word
The “Oh Tommy Tommy” thing isn’t very funny
But Stephen Yaxley-Lennon’s making loads of money
The “Oh Tommy Tommy” thing isn’t a laugh
But if you think that he’s a journalist you’re having a giraffe
The “Oh Tommy Tommy” thing inevitably
Has its roots in the EDL and BNP
The National Front and Britain First too
So when he says he ain’t racist…… It’s just not true
So, someone have a word about the message from the podia
Someone have a word about a bookshop in Fitzrovia
Someone have a word about Islamophobia
Tell you what…. let’s all have a word
The “Oh Tommy Tommy” thing turns a blind eye
To the reasons that Stephen’s done so much time
The “Oh Tommy Tommy” thing tends to ignore
Beating up his girlfriend and mortgage fraud
Travelling to the States on a false passport
Assault occasioning ABH, contempt of court
The “Oh Tommy Tommy” thing is bound to fail
‘Cos Stephen Yaxley-Lennon is going back to jail
So, someone have a word about the message from the podia
Someone have a word about a bookshop in Fitzrovia
Someone have a word about Islamophobia
Tell you what…. let’s all have a word

Han Solo

Han touches Leia, she says let go
He touches her again, she still says no
Pressed up against her, like a bully boy beau
Moves in for the kiss like a Hollywood hero
She loves a bad boy, she just don’t know
Until she’s forced by Han Solo
Trapped in space with nowhere to go
He moves in for the kiss like a Hollywood hero
So, who’s gonna tell Han Solo
That no means no
No means no
Who’s gonna tell Han Solo
That no means no means no means no.
Singer Willie Scott is going home
No way buster, she tells Jones
Indy cracks his whip with an expert throw
Moves in for the kiss like a Hollywood hero
So, who’s gonna tell Han Solo
That no means no
No means no
Who’s gonna tell Han Solo
That no means no means no means no.
Deckard kisses Rachel and she tries to go
He slams the door, she’s up against the window
Petrified, as the music turns slow
He moves in for the kiss like a Hollywood hero
So, who’s gonna tell Han Solo
That no means no
No means no
Who’s gonna tell Han Solo
That no means no means no means no.
So, who’s gonna tell Han Solo
That no means no
No means no
Who’s gonna tell Han Solo
That no means no means no means no.
And don’t get me started ……on James Bond.

The Side of the Fox
03:37

It ain't illegal if only rich people do it
Dolled up in their red coats on Boxing Day
It's not illegal to try to stop it
But the coppers only come to chase the sabs away
It ain't illegal if the rich people say it
It's their parliament makin' up the laws
It ain't illegal to make 'em stick to it
There's laws that they like, and there's laws that they ignore
'Cos Johnson supports the hunt
And Clarkson supports the hunt
And Farage supports the hunt
Well, we all knew......
Cruelty's a capitalist game
They treat human beings just the same
So if you're taking sides we've given ours a name:
We're on the side of the fox
We're on the side of the fox
We're on the side of the fox
We're on the side.....of the fox
It ain't illegal if only rich people do it
Set the boys and the dogs after the fox gone to ground
It ain't illegal if the rich people want it
Like kettling a protest, pushing students around
The rich man wants to set his hounds on you
But you're in Parliament Square, what a shame
He might have to settle for the Boys in Blue
But it's a chase on horseback just the same
'Cos Johnson supports the hunt
And Clarkson supports the hunt
And Farage supports the hunt
Well, we all knew......
Cruelty's a capitalist game
They treat human beings just the same
So if you're taking sides we've given ours a name:
We're on the side of the fox
We're on the side of the fox
We're on the side of the fox
We're on the side.....of the fox
The fox's scent or the people's dissent
The toffs will want to hunt it down
With or without lawful consent
In the field, in the forest, in the town
Make a stand
Raise your hand
Join the band
Make 'em stop
We're on the side of the fox
We're on the side of the fox
We're on the side of the fox
We're on the side... of the fox
We're ...on the side ...of the fox
We're on the side of the fox

Where Tina Goes
03:45
|
|

Martin knew something was wrong
But Tina was pretty cool
Martin knew something didn’t belong
Tina never went to school
Martin got pushed around
Tina got left at home
Tina got pushed down
Martin wished that he was gone
He just wants to go where Tina goes
The way she wears her hair
The way she wears her clothes
He just wanted to know what Tina knows
He just wanted to go where Tina goes
They said that Martin was gay
They said that Tina was wrong
Told him to go away
Told her she didn’t belong
They shut the door on her
By shutting the door on him
Making spaces safer
Denying her the very thing
She just wants to go where Tina goes
The way she wears her hair
The way she wears her clothes
She just wanted to know what Tina knows
She just wanted to go where Tina goes
Martin’s got it figured out
It’s never been his skin
It belonged to Tina all along
She’s always been there for him
Martin’s got it coming out
The road ahead’s still long
It’s a hostile environment
Where she was waiting all along
Cos she just wants to go where Tina goes
The way she wears her hair
The way she wears her clothes
She just wanted to know what Tina knows
She just wanted to go where Tina goes
Martin and Tina share the same DNA
It’s always been that way
She’s always been that way
Martin and Tina share the same DNA
And it’s OK
It’s gonna be OK
