'Rebel Songs' Captain Oi! Records (AHOY CD 22) 2005
Psycho
We live in mediaeval times
Fast cars they cannot dent this
The streets are full of sex and violence
The situation seems so vacant
Sometimes I feel so reckless
Sometimes I feel pretty wild!
We live in complicated times
My life is full of contradiction
Queen Victoria sneers benignly
The royals are so rich and German!
Sometimes I feel so reckless
Sometimes I feel pretty wild!
A disunited kingdom seethes in disgust
Who you vote for you can never trust
A great melting pot of lust and desire
Stiff upper lip and funky street fire
Grey starch days and endless neon night
Bowler hat brigade and small town fight
Suffragette - Tradition of dissent
England destroys and England expects
Rebel Songs
Black Sheep Radical
Fighting In The Dancehall
Victorian Turrets of wealth and empire greed
Paid by the sweat of trade and colonial grief
A mediaeval curse stains this land
The middle ages never seem to end
Caravaggio cursed lesser men
Drew his sword and murdered some of them
Revenge is a dish best served cold
An artist lives life with his own rules
Fighting in the dancehall, fucking in the streets
When he dance the two step, he step on her toes
On foreign trips he step on their toes
He was shot down dead deep in the jungle
Now he lives on a million bed-sit walls
Black sheep black sheep, black sheep radical
Rudie Rudie is an icon now
Classic photo captured in freeze frame,
Deep set eyes - A rock ‘N’ roll Jesus
He was caught on Korda’s camera lens
Now he lives in a million ad campaigns
Black sheep black sheep, black sheep radical
Rudie Rudie is an icon now
Danger! danger! You’d better call the cops
Incendiary chords are never gonna stop
We need righteous music to punctuate the din
We need something loud to make us sing!
The more you know, the less you need
The more you own, the less you see
The more you want, the less you have
All we got is rebel songs...
In a world of plastic trash
Of cheap, cheap stuff and petty flash
I was living too fast in an endless chemical rush
The more you know, the less you need
The more you own, the less you see
The more you want, the less you have
All we got is rebel songs...
