Batman’s Skantz
Gothic Gotham City on a chillin’ night
There was a scream from a dream
That started a fright
I turned around to a sound
That made me stiff
And a feisty feline offerin’ me a lift
And she said ‘BATMAN’ won’t you come over here
And she said ‘BATMAN’ you have nothing to fear
And she said ‘BATMAN’ won’t you step inside
But please can you put these underpants on?
Good golly! I like wearing Batman’s skantz
Good golly! I like wearing Batman’s skantz
Good golly! I like wearing Batman’s ……….
They were grey coloured pants right up to my waist
I said ‘lady, you have the most disturbing taste’
I could tell from the smell they’d been worn before
And the knicker elastic really made me sore
And she said ‘BATMAN’ won’t you come over here
And she said ‘BATMAN’ you have nothing to fear
And she said ‘BATMAN’ won’t you come inside
But please can you keep your underpants on?
Good golly! I like wearing Batman’s skantz
Good golly! I like wearing Batman’s skantz
Good golly! I like wearing Batman’s ……….
Holy Smoke Batman…
Cave dwelling creatures that come out in the night
They gave her thrills and her shrills and nocturnal delight
She had a frown at the brown in my smelly pants
And a feast on the beast in Batman’s skantz
And she said ‘BATMAN’ won’t you come over here
And she said ‘BATMAN’ won’t you come over there
And she said ‘BATMAN’ won’t you come everywhere
But please can I try your underpants on?
Good golly! I like wearing Batman’s skantz
Good golly! I like wearing Batman’s skantz
Good golly! I like wearing Batman’s ……….
Lady Lemon’s Lingerie
Lady Lemon’s Lingerie
As beautiful as it can be
Lady Lemon looks so much
Like something I would like to touch
Is there more to this girl than her lingerie?
Is anyone’s guess
Does that really matter in all honesty?
In a five grand dress
I’ve fallen in love again, I’ve fallen in love
I’ve fallen in love again, I’ve fallen in love…..again
Lady Lemon’s Lingerie
Has everything that I can see
Lady Lemon knows her mind
Even though it’s hard to find
Has the female form looked so heavenly?
From her head to her toes
She brings out a very strange dichotomy
Do I love or I loathe?
Chorus
The moment is brewing
Hours spent grooming
All I wanted to know
Was whether she’d show me her lingerie
Lady Lemon’s Lingerie
Never seen dead with me
Lady Lemon understands
The virtues of a very rich man
What makes her tick is no mystery
She likes the rub of the green
If she wasn’t so thick it’d be a tragedy
I find it quite obscene
Chorus
The last thing I heard she’s a wannabe
On the TV screen
The only work she finds is pornography
On the London scene
Chorus

Don't Be A Saint
04:09

Don’t be a saint
I sold my soul to the devil and he came after me
That son of a bitch sure knew when he’s been done
I ran to my mother and pleaded for her sanctuary
But she said son, son, what have you done?
She said son, son, what have you done?
But I said mother (don’t be a saint…..)
The devil played a tune that grabbed a hold of me my friends
I promised him my soul for that tune in return
My mother screamed you listen here you no good son of a gun
You listen to that music and your soul will surely burn
The devil sent his mistress to exact a swift revenge
Her punishment was hot she’d swore it’d never end
My mother cried you’re gonna fry so grab your soul and run
I said mother hush your mouth cos I ain’t never had such fun
He said soul
I want your soul
I need you soul
To eat it whole
Don’t pretend that you’re good
And you’re just misunderstood
The devil took my soul and he laughed at me
I’m just about to get myself some fun
But when he saw the depths of my depravity
There was no doubt I was my mother’s son
So I said mother
I tell you brother
I hear you sister
In the name of my father
If you bargain with your soul
You must make sure that it’s still whole

Mr. Bond

Mr. Bond
Mr. Bond
allow me to introduce myself
Just in case
you mistake me for someone else
I am the one
who gives you the bullets for your gun
That being said
I don’t expect them aimed at me and fired through my head
‘Cos I’m hearing now
I’m living in fear of you now
Precisely my point, Mr Bond
You’ve a licence to kill
Enjoy the thrill
Mr. Bond
A postcard from a foreign land
Written in
A language I don’t understand
I never knew
The things you told me weren’t true
But now I know
The only safe conclusion is that you will have to go
‘Cos I’m hearing now
I’m just disbelieving now
Precisely my point, Mr. Bond
You’ve a licence to kill
Enjoy the thrill
Last night when I held you in my arms
Your heart yearned for a place you’d only dreamed of
I’ll never forget the look in your eyes
When you asked me who it was they were scared of
How fragile the life I gave to you
I’ll take away the demons if I could
They whisper they’ll take you away
But I’ll be here to block their way
I hope to God they rue the day
Peace be with you
Assalamu a-laikum
Peace be upon you, my Love
Sealed with a kiss
A passport written by the Queen
For all to see
In the wreckage of a thousand dreams
I heard it said
Their children will thank us for their deaths
But if it were me
I’d find all those responsible and drag them to their knees
‘Cos I’m hearing now
All hope’s disappearing now
Precisely my point, Mr Bond
You’ve a licence to kill
Enjoy the thrill
Enjoy the thrill
Enjoy the thrill
Enjoy the………..thrill

I'll Stand Alone
04:24

I’ll Stand Alone
Somewhere in the city
As the millions queue for bread
All around you they lose their reason
But you keep your head
And if you ever stop to wonder
And they tell you not to care
Be strong my son, don’t worry
For I am always there
I’ll stand alone, I’ll stand alone, I’ll stand alone, I’ll stand alone
I’ll stand alone, I’ll stand alone, I’ll stand alone, I’ll stand alone
I’ll stand alone
Somewhere in the city
Stalks the angel of death
And she feeds on every sinner
Who lies with every breath
And though the light is often hidden
It’s there for you to see
And my son, I will fight
For your right to liberty
Chorus
And if they ever try to hurt you
They’ll know not what they’ve done
For Hell will hath no fury
Like the wrath from me, my son
And I will always love you
And you’ll always be my son
Chorus

The Ghost of Garnethill

The Ghost of Garnethill
In the bathroom mirror
Appears a ghostly figure
And I can never hold his stare
It’s a sad reflection
I’ve lost all self-perception
Can I be sure he’s really there?
During the day and in the night
Just when I think I’m alright
He appears in front me
De ja vu a sudden chill
And I’m back in Garnethill
And I’m scared by what I see
A moment’s recognition
Some strange premonition
What it means well who can say
Pull yourself together
I don’t know if I’ll ever
But I can’t stand another day
My fate is sealed the die is cast
And I’m haunted by my past
But I hide it all away
Cos’ I try to tell you why (but I don’t know)
And I hate to see you cry (the ghost of garnethill)
A knowing glance between us
And all my misdemeanours
He lays them bare for all to see
Should I find redemption
A word without perplextion
Then I know there’s hope for me
Cos I don’t know what I have done
And I don’t know what I’ve become
And I don’t know if you will stay
Cos I try to tell you why (but I don’t know)
And I hate to see you cry (the ghost of garnethill)
Cos I try to tell you why (but I don’t know)
And I hate to see you cry
And the words that I find (just don’t show)
What goes on in my mind
The ghost of garnethill

Black Ties In Paisley

Black Ties In Paisley
Remember when, way back then, in Paisley
Innocence lost, the lines that we crossed, we were crazy
We dreamt the dreams but now it seems
That I always wanted more
So with one last song I turned and was gone
And it’s black ties in paisley
Oh don’t you know that I had to let go
I couldn't have stayed on the path that was laid
and though there’s stories to trace from the lines on my face
there’s nothing I’d change I’m not quite the same
But it would be nice to have you around
One last laugh for the ghosts of my past in paisley
outside the pubs the men smoke stubs with the ladies
they shares some gags, some jokes and fags
then they choke back the tears
as they toast the end of a very good friend
and it’s black ties in paisley
Oh don’t you know what it’s like to grow old
when you’ve stayed in a town that’s on the way down
and though there’s stories to trace from the lines on their face
it’s always the same you just change the name
Oh it’s so hard to be back in town
the final scene on the silver screen in paisley
there’s no dry eyes as the hero dies trying to save me
the last to leave amongst the bereaved
hangs a sign upon the door
god bless the ones who stayed for their mums
or it’d be black ties in paisley
Oh don’t you know what it’s like to grow old
When you’ve stayed in a town that’s on the way down
and though there’s stories to trace from the lines on their face
it’s always the same you just change the name
Oh it’s so hard to be back in town
I’d like to think we’ll share a drink in paisley
We’ll reminisce about the girls we kissed and just maybe
Those shattered dreams and might-have-beens
Will finally be laid to rest
And I hope and I pray it won’t be a day
when it’s black ties in paisley
Oh don’t you know that I had to let go
I couldn’t have stayed on the path that was laid
and though there’s stories to trace from the lines on my face
there’s nothing I’d change I’m not quite the same
But it would be nice to have you around
And though it so hard to be back in town
It’s so nice to have you around

The Road
Listen up people I’ve a story to tell
About this road through a living hell
The sky is grey and the snow is lead
The birds have gone and all the trees are dead
And I say lord please mercy me
I learned to be a man at penitentiary
All I have’s my pride – this devil by my side
As I walk this road to a place unknown
I found a man lying in the ditch
Won’t you leave me alone you son of a bitch
I asked him where did he come from
He said that don’t matter it’s to hell I’m going
And I say lord please mercy me
I once killed a man cos he laughed at me
I hear his cries as I watched him die
As I walk this road to a place unknown
I asked the preacher who baptised me
Will the lord in death grant me dignity
He said the lord has spoken now the lord has gone
Died broken hearted over the death of his son
And I said lord please mercy me
My mother was a whore and my daddy a thief
I have her eyes and his damn lies
As I walk this road to a place unknown
I Like It A Lot
Get down rude boy, get down rude girl
Get down rude boy, get down rude girl
Get down rude boy, get down rude girl
Get down, get down, get down, down, down
Stay with me, I’ve fallen down
And I’m not sure in these hard times
‘Cos I can’t sleep, I can’t eat
I work all week trying to make ends meet
But with your arms around me
Your love devours me
You are the reason
Why I’m still breathing
Cos I like the way you groove me baby
And I like the way you turn me on
I like it, I like it, I like it a lot
I like it, I like it, I like it a lot
I like it, I like it, I like it a lot
You put groove in my rhythm
And I’m hot, hot, hot
Get down
Stay with me, I ain’t got much time
And I can’t think in these uncertain times
To walk away from all that I have done
Well that takes strength and I’ve got none

In Love With Your Lover

In Love With Your Lover
Well he said to me
It must be jealousy
Why are you guarded ‘round my lover
Guarded ‘round my lover
But what he doesn’t see
When she’s a lone with me
She says she wants me for her lover
Loves me like no other
Although the things she says excites me
I keep my feelings deep inside me
But I’m in love (love) love with you lover
I’m in love (love) love with you lover
I’m in love (love) love with you lover
And it hurts
Though she’s in love with me
Your honour’s safe with me
‘Cos I love you like a brother
Love you like a brother
But I fear for me
And my integrity
When I’m drinking with your lover
Drinking with your lover
Although the things she says excites me
I keep my feelings deep inside me
Chorus
The only hope for me
Is that eventually
She finds another sucker
Who takes her for a lover
And if I admit my shame
I’ll be the one to blame
And I will lose a brother
And my brother’s lover
Although the things she says excites me
I keep my feelings deep inside me
Chorus

Jessica Rose

Jessica Rose
Jessica Rose as everyone knows
The supersonic soul of the party
She asked me to dance
And I stood there and laughed
As she threw her knickers around me
We we’re back at the flat
And into the sack
Before the sweat had dried into her back
She stayed for a year drinking whisky and beer
And spending Sunday afternoons in the park
Jessica Rose, do you still love me?
Jessica Rose, do you still love me?
Jessica Rose, do you still love me in spite of myself?
Jessica Rose the tattoos on her toes
Tell a tale of fire and passion
If I was to guess I would say it’s a mess
But to mention it isn’t the fashion
The booze and the pills
The laughs and the thrills
Dancing into the dead of the night
The blood and the tears
The screams and the fears
Every look ending up in a fight
Jessica Rose, do you still love me?
Jessica Rose, do you still love me?
Jessica Rose, do you still love me in spite of myself?
Jessica Rose I’ve told you before
I’m not a man to take lightly
When I tell you ‘no’ I don’t want you to go
Will you stay here so the sun shines so brightly?
I could tell from her face she was sick of the place
That I would visit every once in a while
She went for the door and I cursed and I swore
But she couldn’t help herself from that smile
Jessica Rose, do you still love me?
Jessica Rose, do you still love me?
Jessica Rose, do you still love me in spite of myself?

Hear what I say in the name of justice
Hear what I say yeah
Hear what I say in the name of love

I’m your brother, I’m your sister
And very soon there’ll come that day

You Know When You Know
A skinny Barlinnie
A hair of the dog
A head in the morning
Like Noggin’ the Nog
A line on the coupon
A line in the sand
A quid in the pocket
Fae the charity can
I’m walking on water
I’m falling a clatter
You have me in stitches
With all of your patter
You’re rippin’ ma knittin’
You’re rippin’ the pish
But I’ll never forget
Our very first kiss
Hey there lady
I like you style
You give me a chance
I’ll make you smile
‘cos I know
We’ve got a long way to go
Lipstick numbers
You wrote on my hand
I’ll give you a call
Whenever I can
Cos you know
We’ve got a long way to go
Chorus:
You know you know you know
You know when you know
You know you know you know
You know when you know
Lazy, crazy, hazy days
Together forever come what may
Cos we know
We’ve got a long way to go
Cast of thousands wedding bells
Family, loved ones and all of our friends
Cos they know
We’ve got a long way to go
You know you know….
Cos if you’re up or you’re down
I’m always around
Cos I love you I need you I’ll never deceive you
I knew from the start
That it came from the heart
And life doesn’t get much….
Life doesn’t get much…..
Life doesn’t get much better than this
Before you know it a couple of kids
We’re watching the pennies so we don’t hit the skids
Cos we know
We’ve still a long way to go
Seaside sunshine camper van
It’s always raining and never a tan
But you know
At least it’s not snow
You know you know….
Cos if I’m up or I’m down
You’re always around
Cos I love you I need you I’ll never deceive you
I knew from the start
That it came from the heart
And life doesn’t get much….
Life doesn’t get much…..
Life doesn’t get much better than this
When we’re eighty we’ll hit the road
New York, Rio, Paris and Rome
Cos we know
We’ve still a long way to go
Crash into Vegas mash up the town
They’ll all stop and ask us ‘what’s going down?’
Cos they’ll know
We’ve had a long way to go
You know you know….
Cos if you’re up or you’re down
I’m always around
Cos I love you I need you I’ll never deceive you
I knew from the start
That it came from the heart
And I promise you this
Oh yes I’ll promise you this
Sealed with that very first kiss
Life doesn’t get much better than this

Dr. Gelati & the Lemon Garden
Once in lemon scented Palermo
A danger lurks in the garden
A dark and sinister creed
Who lives for money and greed
And is bound by an oath of loyalty
A murderous secret society
We are many yet we are few
We are evil but we are you
We’re the best with many heads
We’re the nightmare in your beds
We’ve got lawyers, judges, bankers, soldiers too
I am beautiful and I am bold
I’m a killer and I am cold
Just remember when we meet
I have toothache be discreet
Or you’ll end up lying, dying in the street
Chorus
Oh, you men of honour
Oh, you men of class
Behold, you men of honour
If you don’t play the game
You will live a life of shame
And you’ll feel the wrath of mafia tyranny
Bernadino, what a hero
A socialist like Sicily’s never seen
With his peasant federation
He attacked our very nation
‘til we ran him down and shot him in the spleen
Mussolini, fascist bastard!
A scum bag of right wing tyranny
He very nearly had us
With his leather and his blackshirts
‘til the yanks delivered us ‘liberty’
Chorus
Joe Bananas, Americanos
Sicilian by birth through and through
Narcotics we control
We destroy your very soul
And we’ll kill you if you turn the other way
Luciano, he’s the capo di capo
And you should live in fear
When you’re lying in your bed
He will shoot you in your head
He’s a crazy motherfucker, he’s insane
Chorus
So here’s a warning to all of Italy
You cut our throats? Be prepared for what you see
For the smell of mafia has a lure
To the rich, the powerful and the poor
And the blood that will flow from our veins
Won’t wash away all your shame
Chorus
