The Old Boy 04:32
lyrics

A nursing home for old computers It’s a faculty for forgotten futures Porters peer in arch serenity There’s a gap year in your modesty Sleepwalking through sepia cloisters Sad cigars in midnight embers The old boy’s took a funny turn Whirligigging on the throne High as a table Alone as a raven Here is a token of our affection Got to pick yourself up Get dusted down Got to pick yourself up Got to make a start Gowns walk ‘round all by themselves Money mutters, renown splutters Players stroll, pay as you go Contacts, contracts, it’s who you know Work the room, shake the hands We’re cocktails built on shifting sands Trustees peer in frozen pity... Classicists all gone to The City The Old Boy’s took a funny turn Whirligigging on the throne High as a table Alone as a Titus Here is a token of our affection Got to pick yourself up Get dusted down Got to pick yourself up Got to make a start The Old Boy’s took a funny turn, Whirligging on the throne The old boy’s not one of us Accused of cheating on the bus

My England 05:08
lyrics

“I know I am, I’m sure I am…” “Do you know where that is?” We’ve got non-religious reverends, Ale and conversations, Red pillar box rendezvous Beachy Head sunsets Your gaudy garden gnome (A bulldog buffoon) Spring bank holiday revelry Spider Nugent and Aunty Em, Up a tree in protest, Non-religious remedy. Nation of shopkeepers Nation of complainers Frustrated self-deprecators Non-commital playing gamers You wouldn’t exist without those you Scapegoat Without those you scapegoat Winstanley Wollstonecraft Viv Stanshall Desmond Ambrose Dour Eeyore and a beaming Tom Baker Kate Bush Clifford T. Ward My England OUR ENGLAND “We’re not digging for stottie cake”

No Gods Above 04:24
lyrics

If you don’t feel it you don’t feel it You shouldn’t be here! You’re a pretty chilled out character Citizen, how does it feel? You’ve got to get some sex appeal Complexity is the thing Understanding how others think No kings, no queens No gods above. Nothing. Just the elements. No kings, no queens No gods above. Nothing. Just the elements. A window on the world Or a prison in your home A gogglebox Colditz A spoilt countess gets her kicks If you don’t feel it You don’t feel it You can’t contrive how you feel inside No kings, no queens No gods above. Nothing. Just the elements. No kings, no queens No gods above. It’s only us – eternal [temporal] love Torrents of emotional bombast. Hello, it’s been a long time... I’m not given to histrionics, But you’re looking rather fine. Words mislaid for decade Resound in my mind No kings, no queens No gods above. Just the elements. Chaos and love. Torrents of emotional bombast Nothing just torrents Of emotional bombast…

Dilly dilly daffodilly Canteloupe and Antelope Dilly dilly daffodilly Canteloupe and Antelope Dilly dilly daffodilly Canteloupe and Antelope Kasey, Andrew, Sarah We’re A1 without ceremony Lazing in the public park Sharing downtime with the lark Lazing in the public park Sharing downtime with the lark There’s a piano in your house There’s a discotheque in your step This is your inheritance Do the springtime stomp again Do the springtime stomp again Do the springtime stomp again Faraway traffic A dusty attic There’s a parking ticket There’s a prickly thicket Undercover lady detective With no boss or directive Threepenny Opera dialectic Severe fring,e mein leiber There’s a piano in your house There’s a discotheque in your step This is your inheritance Do the springtime stomp again Do the springtime stomp again Do the springtime stomp again Do the springtime stomp again Again… mein leiber Mein leiber There’s a shiver down your spine Got your whole life down in lines There’s a shiver down your spine Got your whole life down in lines Got your whole life down in lines (Like slumbering lions) It’s very true that nothing lasts forever Least of all the April weather (More’s the better) There’s a piano in your house There’s a discotheque in your step This is your inheritance Do the springtime stomp again Do the springtime stomp again Do the springtime stomp again There’s a shiver down your spine Got your whole life down in lines In quatrains and twelve bar loops The bloody foreigners How dare they? Offer the hand of friendship!? It must be a conspiracy, Against our team There’s a piano in your house There’s a discotheque in your step An epic win for future sin Do the springtime stomp again! It’s a bizarre sail in the air It’s a Matthew Upson affair Yes, the Germans they do it better Come and taste some schadenfreude. Dilly dilly daffodilly Canteloupe and Antelope Dilly dilly daffodilly Canteloupe and Antelope Dilly dilly daffodilly Canteloupe and Antelope Dilly dally dilly dally
