I started out at the Foreign Office I was a man of my word After the thing with Minister for Agriculture I had to fall on my sword It only hurts when I think about it And I think about it all the time Goodnight Vienna Arrivederci Rome My political suicide My great career was ruined by filthy habits Backstabbing colleagues And Lies I made a deal with the Minister for Education On the Night of the Long Knives It only hurts when I think about it And I think about it all the time Goodnight Vienna Arrivederci Rome My political suicide I put your taxes into bread and circuses My corruption complete I made myself sick With the Minister for Health I had to give up my seat It only hurts when I think about it And I think about it all the time Goodnight Vienna Arrivederci Rome My political suicide

lyrics

There's another plastic city There's a place inside your heart There's a window in the morning There's a lover in the dark If they weren't worth the price Why did you buy my lies? There's is some electric bible There's a reason for the rhyme A telephone that never rings There is something on your mind If they weren't worth the price Why did you buy my lies? There is no tomorrow There's no way to turn it off There's is nothing happening This is not enough There's a piece of something else There's a way to go There's a pretty stranger with a secret I don't know If they weren't worth the price Why did you buy my lies?

I know their queen is a 12 foot lizard Their universities are full of wizards I see the chemtrails sent to sterilise me Your lab-made virus sent to terrorise me I've got a gun And I'm feeling worthless You can't see me in my army surplus Is the shopping malls And underpasses Fight against the Illuminati There's no climate change if it's cold in my house Donald trump is secretly back in the White House Like everything The Bankers have a hand in Tell the truth about the fake moon landings! I've got a gun And I'm feeling worthless You can't see me in my army surplus Is the shopping malls And underpasses Fight against the Illuminati I know where they park the captured UFOs These are demons and robots Not people I know Guns don't kill people People do Heroes like me Kill dragons like you I've got a gun And I'm feeling worthless You can't see me in my army surplus Is the shopping malls And underpasses Fight against the Illuminati Yeah

No Exit 03:01
lyrics

You look like you need a ride Come with me My cars outside We were in the wrong place at the wrong time It's no coincidence that you're mine You should have listened to what they said No exit ahead I'll take you home I know the way The night is over anyway We were in the wrong place at the wrong time It's no coincidence that you're mine You should have listened to what they said No exit ahead "Which way should I turn", he said "Take a left at the lights" I bet a train is coming You bet your life Can you see the dawning light? You met your match in me tonight We were in the wrong place at the wrong time It's no coincidence that you're mine You should have listened to what they said No exit ahead

lyrics

Out of the sun Into the dark You didn't turn up in Echo Park Somebody said you moved away After those boys drowned Out in The Bay It gets worse everyday They burnt the Vaudeville down There's nowhere to play in this town We always sat in the back row Hoping that no one would know Closing my eyes I still see the lights Shadows at play Out of sight Out of mind It gets worse everyday They burnt the Vaudeville down There's nowhere to play in this town I write a song everyday Not one of them would make anything change Who says the world is a small place I never run into you It gets worse everyday They burnt the Vaudeville down There's nowhere to play in this town

Who believes the voices in their head? Make a fool of someone else instead I'm sick of limitless perfection I want to see my own reflection again I want my ego back Nothing is real is just half of the story Or none of the above? What doesn't kill me just makes me stupid I just want sambodhi Not love I'm sick of limitless perfection I want to see my own reflection again I want my ego back I want my ego back

Thank you to Gary, Simon and Sly for the creative playing and patience. Extra thanks to Simon for helping me understand that work was 'all made up' and for 'Have you got your mask?' Another great idea for our imaginary sketch show. Thank you Blu for the synths - they were great fun to tinker with while my arm wasn't working well enough for bass playing. Thank you to Christine for collaborating on Foreign Objects and putting up with the singing. And everything else.

Thank you especially to the people who listen to our stuff. You obviously have deeply perverse, I mean, eclectic tastes. Love you. Mean it.
