Operating under restricted control
Operating under restricted control
The boys from the towns are all locked down.
The girls from the sea are at sea.
The men from the towers are gone for hours.
The dogs on the streets are set free.
I've seen the lights in the distance
I've lost track of my friends
I pray for a new beginning
When all of this chaos ends
Operating under restricted control
Operating under restricted control
Why must me listen to those who don’t care
What plans must we make to succeed
How dare we see nature making a stand
These are the things we now need
Outside I hear the thunder.
Outside I see the rain.
Over the hill is a rainbow.
Love has nothing to gain.
Operating under restricted control
Operating under restricted control

Seek and you shall find a reason
Even in the rainy season
To go out hunting for the Mysteries of Life
Fate will point its finger
As the Hangman lingers
Just before the evening you can still see the light
And though it’s not the same
Two can play that game
Across the Great Divide
Though the wires were tied
And though it’s not the same
Two can play that game
Across the Great Divide
Though the wires were tied
Drunk, awake and never more lonely
Regretting too many if onlys
Could you have shared with her the Mysteries of Life
Now forced into solitude
Pleasures you’ve eschewed
Somewhere the shackle, somewhere the knife.
And though it’s not the same
Two can play that game
Across the Great Divide
Though the wires were tied
And though it’s not the same
Two can play that game
Across the Great Divide
Though the wires were tied

Brothers

We were brothers
Like no others
Come the end of the world
I’d have saved you ahead of all the others
Given a different kind of scenario
We could gone on being lotharios
Of all the women in the wprld
For both of us to fall for the same girl
And then they were lovers
We were no longer brothers
I’ve still not recovered
And I doubt ever will
We were brothers
Like no others
We were brothers
Like no others

Oh, man where am I?
What time is it?
What day is it?
The rooms spinning
I’m not moving
Turn over for another through hours
Can’t say I’ve much motivation
My phones red hot with push notifications
Saying,
Hey, man where are you?
Party can’t start
Till the party starter’s out there
All the faces
No wonder
Already shit faced with plunder
Tight bodies
Through the smokescreen
You’re looking for the girl
In the bright green
Is there something you are taking
That’s mean - black, not faking –
Do you mean I’ve got to do it all again?
Do it all again Do it all again
Do you mean I’ve got to do it all again?
Do it all again Do it all again
Have you mean shit, nice Samsung?
Did you get that jacket from Asus?
Are you calling me out Scone-head?
Go somewhere else to do your space shit
Where’s Alison?
Asking everyone where’s Alison?
Has she gone with the guy with the best speed?
Has she gone with the guy with the real need?
Has she gone with the girl with the jump lead?
Has she gone with the girl with the night steed?

Rich Kids

Monday morning get up late,
Roll into work,
Where’s Sebastian, he’s sick again
Had a heavy weekend –
We were both out Sunday late,
He called me in the afternoon,
Said “come along it’ll be great –
But you gotta to get here soon”
What about the rich kids?
Which kids?
The Rich kids –
What about the rich kids
How will they survive?
What about the rich kids
Which kids?
The Rich kids
What about the rich kids
How will they live their lives?
Now he’s running a start up
In the old East End
Takes us out for a meal, but we have to pay
Then puts on the company card
Ask if you’ve got some coke
And you call up your friend
Stays up to the early hours
In his flat overlooking the Shard
Think about the rich kids?
Which kids?
The Rich kids –
Think about the rich kids
How will they survive
Think about the rich kids
Which kids?
The Rich kids
Think about the rich kids
How will they live their lives?
Now he’s out of the country,
At the family’s second home
Calls you up in the middle of the night
Never heard a man so stoned
By the time you’re forty
He’s inherited the family estate
You’re still working nine-to-five
And he’s the Tory candidate
What about the rich kids?
Which kids?
The Rich kids –
What about the rich kids?
How will they survive
What about the rich kids?
Which kids?
The Rich kids
What about the rich kids
How will they survive?
