Lyrics

Before it comes

hey nostradamus what's the outlook
i hear here tell that you might know
so can you tell me can you tell me
are we all gonna die one day

well no shit sherlock no shit sherlock
i think we knew that all along
but we'd like some more dates and details
so we can plan before it comes
before it comes

oh coineach odhar what's the story
what do you see dear brahan seer
will the seed of life desert me
will i one day turn back to dust

well no shit sherlock etc

oh brother william brother william
i hear that you can save my soul
from hellfire, brimstone and damnation
oh william branham charlatan

well no shit sherlock etc

Ain't misbehavin'

excuse me sweetheart
you're quite mistaken
i've bin a good boy
ain't misbehavin'
you can take the collar off
and the leash
i ain't gonna run away
once i'm released
i learned my lesson
you taught me well
i know my place
ain't misbehavin'
so unlock the door
and give me the keys
you know that you can trust me
to be careful
i'll be careful
i'll be careful
oh please don't judge me
my past misdemeanors
and i might be guilty
but you have to trust me
cos i paid my penance
yeah i served my sentence
just a second chance
ain't misbehavin'
once strike and i'm out
just what's that all about
can't you find forgiveness
in your heart
in your heart

Why does it always have to be a mystery

why does it always have to be
a mystery
a mystery
you keep your cards close to your chest
so we can't see
so we can't see
why break the habits of a life time
specially when you're having so much fun
you like to start each day with a smile
just to get it over with
your shared existence is a trial
you disappear into the mist
why does it always have to be
a mystery
a mystery

The sands of time

oh the sands of time
they shift
they move
they turn the clock
they blow away
in the wind
turn all to dust
all it touches
all it moves
the sands of time
oh the sands of time
they capture me
disempower me
trapped
ito their fortune
a prisoner
of fate
we dedicate our lives to each and every grain
the sands of time
oh the sands of time
we try to hold
every moment we can
but we can't
elusive
the sands of time

The hydrogen sonata

fellows colleagues friends
we have our answer
it is much as we expected
tho the import of even the most expected news
changes
when it becomes definite
and fact
the question is
what do we do
what do we say
the simulations have been exhaustive
and inconclusive
the likelihood is that releasing the information
would make little difference
but with the outside possibility
that there might be
chaos
we can't tell them
those that would most care already know
or guess
those that might be most affected are those we have the least right
to disturb
the truth is the truth
you tell it even when it hurts
or it loses it's value
or when it doesn't
i tell them
i'd announce it so it's the first thing the hear
friends colleagues fellows
we have our answer

Knocking everything down

are you indifferent
our do you care
about the outcome
or are you careless
an unthinking nutter
a bull
in the china shop
knocking everything down
are you obsessive
about the small things
the little details
that drive you crazy
or you could you care less
unthinking nutcase
a bull
in the china shop
knocking everything down
i think i saw you
staring at me
at my reflection
from no direction

---

Trigger happy

the trigger happy frightened people
state their rights
they need to show their anger to be free
in god we trust we sacrifice
the secular
let madness
reign on us
we live in the states
of paranoia
the united states
of hate and fear

---

Sweet hallelujah

The tide on the shore
As it ebbs and it flows
Nearer and nearer towards you
The sun in the sky
It smiles down from on high
And the clouds nowhere to be seen
The birds in the trees they all sing their
Sweet hallelujahs
Sweet hallelujah
The darkness complete
The sand still ‘neath your feet
You keep on walking
Counting the stars
Overhead and beyond
All around you
The lapping of waves
Just a teardrop away
From a sweet hallelujah
Sweet hallelujah

I scream you scream we all scream

i scream you scream we all scream
for no reason
for no rhyme
i squeal you squeal we all squeal
like stool pigeons
dirty little rats
i'm not sitting on that chair
i'm not sitting on that chair
elect elect elected trickery
i know a way to harvest all the votes
i scream you scream we all scream
for no reason
for no rhyme
i'm not sitting on that chair
i'm not sitting on that chair
no way
you can turn the voltage up
burn my skin and hair
burn the badness out of me
and have your sweet revenge
i scream you scream we all scream
for no reason
for no rhyme
i squeal you squeal we all squeal
like stool pigeons
dirty little rats
i'm not sitting on that chair
i'm not sitting on that chair
i'm not sitting on that chair
there's no way i'm sitting on that chair
i scream you scream we all scream

Rub him up and down

rub him up and down
with candle wax
rub him up and down
with an oily rag
rub him up and down
with tabacco chow
rub him up and down
till the spirit's out
rub him up and down
with dragon's spit
rub him up and down
with unicorn shit
rub him up and down
with a red dock leaf
rub him up and down
till the spirit leaves
a demon
caught him napping
crawled
inside his head
possessed him
took him over
tore his very soul
to shreds
rub him up and down
with balsa wood
rub him up and down
but give no food
rub him up and down
with myrrh and gold
rub him up and down
till the demon goes
rub him up and down
with rust nails
rub him up and down
till he screams and wails
rub him up and down
with the padre's keys
rub him up and down
till the demon flees
a demon
caught him napping
crawled
inside his head
possessed him
took him over
tore his very soul
to shreds
rub him up and down
till the demon goes

The museum of oddities

the museum of oddities
they blow my mind
they play for hours on end
the museum of oddities
i am their fan
listen for hours on end
sometimes i just wanna dance
sometimes i just wanna sing
the museum of oddities
they blow my mind
drift off to another place
where the sun always shines
the museum of oddities
they blow my mind
the museum of oddities
they ride the wave
they play for hours on end
the museum of oddities
the greatest band
i hope they never end
sometimes i just wanna dance
sometimes i just wanna sing
the museum of oddities
they blow my mind
i just wanna dance
i just wanna dance
the museum of oddities
they make me wanna dance

This is the noise

this is the sound
of the radio
this is the sound
this is the sound
this is the noise
of the internet
this is the noise
can you feel it
can you hear it
do you understand
too much information
too much data loss
to much misinformation
too much overdose
this is the sound
of the radio
this is the sound
this is the sound
this is the noise
of the internet
this is the noise
this is the noise
can you feel it
can you hear it
do you understand
do you understand
too much information
too much data loss
to much misinformation
too much overdose
this is the sound
of the radio
this is the sound
this is the sound
this is the noise
of the internet
this is the noise
this is the noise
this is the noise

The xenophobic blues

there's a light in your eyes
makes me realise
that nothing makes any sense
and that's the way it should be
that's the way it should be
there's a bird in the trees
singing songs to me
he's saying go away
this is my territory
this is my territory
you divide to rule
xenophobia's cool
it distracts the masses
keeps their eyes off the ball
and that's the way it should be
to keep you all in your place
there's a light in your eyes
makes me realise
there's a bird in a tree
singing songs to me
you divide to rule
let the poor fight amongst themselves

Thank Christ for judas

sixth sense not needed
no consequence conceded
you'll never know it all
with a broken crystal ball
you'll never know it all
thank christ for judas
and big fat buddhas
no matter how you pray
it just won't go away
it just won't go away
i should have listened
when i was christened
i'm sure they called my name
well i think
that's what they said
sixth sense not needed
no consequence conceded
thank christ for judas
and big fat buddhas

Knocking everything down
(Kenny Mac remix)

are you indifferent
our do you care
about the outcome
or are you careless
an unthinking nutter
a bull
in the china shop
knocking everything down
are you obsessive
about the small things
the little details
that drive you crazy
or you could you care less
unthinking nutcase
a bull
in the china shop
knocking everything down
i think i saw you
staring at me
at my reflection
from no direction
