Hooked!

High tech media coming at you
Beaming live from the skies with the latest news
It comes from the people who know you best
'Cause they're fishing for you habits and you're in their net
And they're selling you the lifestyle selling you the lie
That you'll miss the boat if you don't buy
You bought the video kiddy- o but now you're hooked
And they're flogging you the t- shirt flogging you the book
TV wannabes queuing the door
To be a face on a screen on a box on the floor
Twinkle twinkle little stars in their eyes
If I get myself on telly I'll be made for life
Could I be an Oprah? Could I be a Kate
Winslett or Moss? Have I got what it takes
To make a go of it, show of it? Get up there and crow a bit
Flash a little flesh and it'll up the stakes
Coro- neighbours Eastside, giving us an insight
'Real life'? What shite! And there's more
Talk shows, game show's, make yourself a name shows
Each day's viewing a revolving door
Now we're going digital
You can cut the crap, you can ditch it all
Make a choice to choose, and you can choose the views
That you want to hear and that you want to loose
Internet excess, kids are in a right mess
Square- eyed, tongue- tied, hooked online
Watch that posture, and it's gonna cost ya
But it's easier than giving them your quality time
Now I'm free to be who I want to be
So I park my arse and I watch TV
While the surf on through porn dot com
I settle down to the news 'cause there's not much else on
Right wing backlash, send the gyppos back, trash
Media feeding a media storm
Milked dry headlines eating up the air time
Rich girl cops it and a nation mourns
Terrorists, paedophiles, life is like the X- Files
Gangs, drugs, killer bugs, scary stuff
Losing all perspective, getting too protective
Some journo's got his hooks in and he's hypes it up
Hunger, poverty, it doesn't mean a lot to me
I've seen it all a million times or more
They only want my cheque book, don't give them a second look
Turn my back and carry on as before
So it's bye bye bye 'til the funds run dry
Wipe clean widescreen DVD
I'll spend a bomb on a CD- ROM
But I wouldn't spare the price of a nice cup of tea
The height of human aspiration
A unified and happy nation
Under one great Sky, one great guy
The lord and master of the digital creation
So click right here, have no fear
Our dreams, our hopes are so so near
Just a screen away, sign up today
It's tomorrow's world, it's the only way
There's a top rate show on the window pane this evening
As the April rain runs rivers down the glass
It beats sweet hypnotic rhythms on the canvass
And the cuckoo sings and the fresh young Spring leaves dance

Ordinary Day

Just an ordinary day
The bus is late and the traffic's moving slow
Just another day
And there are better ways to live
But now I need to work to make ends meet
You've got to swim when the water's deep
But for now it's just an ordinary day
Just an ordinary day
And in the market they prepare to meet the rush
Just another day
For me and for the man
Who with his bag does all the bins in town
He may be out but he isn't down
Its a sunny, Springtime ordinary day
Its an ordinary day
I get to work, I climb the stairs and change my shoes
Just another day
But there are always some you'll win and some you'll...
Sorry, son, to break the news
We can't afford to pay your dues
On this or any ordinary day
Just an ordinary day
There are queues already formed outside the shops
There's a busker getting ready as
I hurry past to catch my bus
As the familiar countryside rolls by
The top deck of the eighty- nine
It almost seems an ordinary day
Just an ordinary day
You are in the garden, working in the sun
Just another day
So you're surprised when I return
And though we shrug and smile and drink our tea
Things won't look so good next week
We'll have a harder kind of ordinary day

Sam Hall

My name it is Sam Hall
Burglar, creep and chimney sweep
My name it is Sam Hall, it is Sam Hall
My name it is Sam Hall
And I hate you one and all
Now my neck must feel the pull
So damn your eyes
I've robbed both rich and poor
Yes that's true, maybe I've robbed you
I've robbed both rich and poor, rich and poor
I've robbed both rich and poor
Of cash of candlesticks and more
Even meat from out your store
So damn your eyes
I see my Molly in the crowd
I robbed to please and bring her ease
I see my Molly in the crowd, she's in the crowd
I see Molly in the crowd
Well hey there Molly aren't you proud
Now that I've found fame, and how?
Well damn your eyes
Now a- swinging I must go
For my sins my wicked sins
Now a- swinging I must go, I must go
Now a- swinging I must go
While you bastards down below
Yell and spit and jeer and crow
Well damn your eyes
