Winston Winston Churchill in the party,
coming on strong now, knocking down Nazis.
Winston Spencer Churchill takes the floor,
V for victory in the Second World War!
Winston Churchill taking the stage,
statesman poet of the turbulent age.
Winnie’s on the mic and he’s busting out speeches,
fight them on the hills and fight them on the beaches.
Winston Churchill’s on lyrical form,
warning the people of the gathering storm.
The fascists are back, and it’s not over yet,
so tune in to Churchill on your wireless set.
Czechoslovakia, Poland then France,
Who’s going to stop the German advance?
Europe lies crushed by the boots of the Reich,
Britain’s left standing so on we fight.
Stand up to corrupt and evil regimes,
smashing all the National Socialist dreams,
We’ll never bow down to the fascist agenda,
we’ll never give in and we’ll never surrender!
London lies dark under the bombs of the blitz.
Lights out, head down, watch out for Fritz.
Under weapons of colossal and shattering power,
history will say this was our finest hour.
Doodlebug, V2, rain of fire,
Conflagration of the world entire,
for all mankind the situation looks dire,
but Winston’s got the rhymes to uplift and inspire!
Chomping on the Cubans sipping down the brandy,
Watch the big old bulldog Winston getting handy,
Shooting down Stukas from out of the skies
Winnie tells it straight whilst Adolf spouts lies.
Big up the Russians and their perishing winter,
Shout out to Turing, cracking Enigma.
Watch out Jerry, the Yanks have joined the fray,
The motherfucking Fuhrer’s not going to get his way!
Winston Winston Churchill in the party, coming on strong now smashing down Nazis
Winston Spencer Churchill takes the floor, V for victory in the Second World War!

The Chairman
05:21
|

I am the chairman, I am the head.
There’s no unsaying what I have said.
Kingdoms of wisdom, fragmenting fast.
Things I envision all come to pass.
Leader! Leader!
Show us! Show us!
I deal in hard facts, lines in the sand.
Something you would not understand.
I do what's needed, I have no shame.
In my position you'd do the same.
Leader! Leader!
Fool us! Fool us!
I am exalted
I am the great
I am the process
I am the state
I am the chairman and I insist
you are the reason that I exist.
Leader! Leader!
Doom us! Doom us!

It’s a win for the bully
It’s a win for the jocks
It’s a win for the arseholes
It’s a win for the cocks
It’s a win for the ignorant
a win for the mean
It’s a win for the selfish
It’s a death of a dream
It’s a win for the stupid x 4
It’s a win for the conman
It’s a win for the spin
It’s a win for the sinners
with nothing within
It’s a win for the brainless soulless morons
It’s a loss for the innocent who’ve yet to be born
It’s a win for the stupid x 4
Dunning Kruger x 4
In the echo chamber you are played for a dupe
In the echo chamber you are trapped in a loop
In the echo chamber you are trapped in your head
And the only things you’re hearing are the things that you said
It’s the death of the dialog,
the death of calm,
It’s the death of civility,
the death of grace.
It’s the death of humanity,
a basket case.
It’s a win for the stupid x 4

So the world's complex and it's all going over your head.
We're tired of experts so we're gonna ask morons instead.
Fake facts, fake news, fake people, fake boobs, fake fear...
Where can you turn to make everything you learn seem clear?
If you want to know the truth,
do some maths construct a proof,
conduct your own experiments,
and you can win the arguments with SCIENCE.
A quarter of Americans don't believe the earth goes round the sun.
Half of Americans don't believe in evolution.
Is it any wonder that the modern world's causing them confusion?
When they're 500 years late for the scientific revolution.
You wanna take part,
you gotta get smart.
Don't just bluff,
Learn about stuff.
Listen in class,
so you don't talk arse.
If you spout claptrap
you're gonna get a slap
from SCIENCE
Stand up for science
Stand up for science
Show your defiance and stand up for science
Stand up for science
Stand up for science
Join our alliance, stand up for science
We're not particularly political but watch out because we're fast learners.
We're going to storm the Whitehouse armed with our Bunsen Burners.
Evidence based politics would truly be magnificent.
We're going to make our voices statistically significant.
If we ignore what science says
We'll be back in the dark ages
Hanging up in metal cages
Copying out bible pages
Dying of bubonic plagues
Chorus
If you want to know the score
knock on a professor's door
they'll tell you what's going on
but still admit if they were wrong
that's SCIENCE

Clean Energy

Those solar beams fuel future dreams
Clean Energy! Clean Energy!
It’s on the way, that’s what I say
Clean Energy! Clean Energy!
So let us raise the turbine blades
Clean Energy! Clean Energy!
Let’s ride the waves and catch the rays
We still have hope
We still have hope
We still have hope
That Earth can cope
It’s on the brink, see what you think.
No need to burn, the tide has turned
Let’s just get rid. Transform the grid.
Those gigawatts transformed our hearts.
Let’s talk about the weather
Let’s talk about the weather
Let’s talk about let’s talk about let’s talk about the weather
We still have hope
We still have hope
We still have hope
That our Earth can cope

One Dimensional Man
03:16
|

One Dimensional Man,
One Dimensional Man,
He can’t do much but he does what he can,
One Dimensional Man.
One Dimensional Man,
One Dimensional Man,
Life is bland when you’re only a strand,
One Dimensional Man.
Two Dimensional Man.
Two Dimensional Man.
Life in an architectural plan,
Two Dimensional Man.
Two Dimensional Man
Two Dimensional Man
Restricted to left right up and down,
that’s Two Dimensional Man
But in three dimensions, you can dance and swoop, and pick a lovely flower.
In three dimensions you sing to pass the hour.
One Dimensional Man,
One Dimensional Man,
You can talk about tennis but he won’t understand,
that One Dimensional Man.
One Dimensional Man,
One Dimensional Man,
He’s a slave to time, living life of the line,
One Dimensional Man.
Two Dimensional Man
Two Dimensional Man
Looks like he’s been splatted with a frying pan,
Two Dimensional Man
But in three dimensions, you can laugh and joke and stroke a lover’s hair.
In three dimensions, there’s always space to spare.
Four dimensional man,
Four Dimensional Man!
Doctor who and... Peter Pan...,
Four Dimensional Man
Five Dimensional Man!
Six Dimensional Man!
Seven, eight, nine, ten,
dance like that if you can!

When I come home
at the end of the day
I just wanna switch off
and float away
but I keep thinking about them
and the things that they say
I don’t wanna think about them
but my brain thinks about them anyway
I work like a dog.
I stare at a screen
I feel like a cog
In a machine
Even on my time off I’m on
I go home but I’m never gone
Even on my time off I’m on
Working like an automaton
I’m looking for something other people will like
But I don’t really know them and I won’t get it right
I’m seeking perfection in a ramshackle way
But there’s no such thing and you wouldn’t like it anyway
I work like a dog.
I stare at a screen
I feel like a cog
In a machine
Even on my time off I’m on
I go home but I’m never gone
Even on my time off I’m on
Working like an automaton
I can’t seem to leave it behind
Churning over stuff in mind
Can’t relax and can’t unwind
Daily nightly weekly grind
Yes I work in an office at a desk all day
I work on my laptop on my holiday
I work when I’m sleeping and I work when I’m awake
I don’t really care about the things I make
I work in the shower and I work in the bath
I work and I toil and I strive and I graft
Attend a never ending stream of tasks
Tasks in the mask of the career path
I haven’t got a hobby or a social life
I’m working for some strangers called my kids and wife
I work in the summer winter spring and fall
And none of what I’m working on has any point at all

I Fuck Like a Robot
04:32
|

I fuck like a robot
Mechanical man
I fuck like a robot
Cos that’s what I am
I fuck like a robot
A battering ram
I fuck like a robot
You’re banging a can
I fuck like a robot
A nailing machine
I fuck like a robot
Treating you mean
I’m totally wireless
And utterly tireless
I do not desire this
I simply require this
I fuck like a robot x 4
Fuck x 4
You’re frying my circuits
With animal lust
You’re making me savage
You’re making me rust
The sensory data
From your lucious behind
Makes me a traitor
To my logical mind
my logical mind
my logical mind
…
In every position
I happily toil
My surfaces glisten
Covered in oil
I’m feeding you leather
Slipping you steel
I’m giving you pleasure
That I never feel
I fuck like a robot
A shining machine
I fuck like a robot
It’s a simple routine
simple routine
simple routine

You just can't help yourself.
It's trashed your mental health.
Skim headlines bit by bit.
Attention deficit.
Unable to protect
your cheapened intellect,
you are an information addict.
Information Information Addict
Information Information Addict
You just can't concentrate,
in a rage if forced to wait
more than a second or two,
what has become of you?
You'll never be content
until that data's sent,
you are an information addict.
Information Information Addict
Information Information Addict
Your focus is a mess,
you're learning less and less,
the more facts you digest,
the more you must compress.
Higher doses you must find,
what happens next will blow your mind,
you are an information addict.

Outsider
04:01

Gaze through the restaurant window
Look at them laugh inside
I’ll never be one of them though
I’ll always be denied
Lost in the mist
All those subtleties I’ve missed
I was blind I was dumb
I was doomed before I’d begun
Stripped in my alienation
Trapped by my anxious thoughts
Awkward in group situations
Abort! abort! abort!
Tense, fading out
Disappearing in self doubt
I’m a ghost, crying for help
I’m a shadow of my self
Ambiguously shaded, all I could do was stalk
At some point refused to engage with the tyranny of talk
Try, fail to charm
Conversational self harm
Good will shrivels up in qualms
You are dying in my arms
I’m an outsider
I’m an outsider
I’m an outsider
I’m an outsider

In the garden of forking paths loose cannons are sounding like forgotten tasks in the morning of redistribution of the talented method of what is important, can’t we read it in a book or something solid like the earth that’s spinning in an empty grave? And the conversations that we have with ourselves simply serve to reinforce all the tales that are handed down from the messes of our forefathers dreams that were botched in the heat of the unstable moment, quivering on an empty stomach, I control my boots. I control my boots as they move on the board, I can’t honestly remember what it was that I scored in the game of transitions all I had was a laugh but it all got serious in the second half, these my second thoughts I’m afraid. Second thoughts. I’m afraid. I’m afraid there’s been some complications in your applications of the lessons of objectivity, I’m afraid there’s been some complications in your account, you will be held to account. Ob a lob ob a lob ob. Scuba dip dab. Account.
