The New Tiin Drum Fire up the heartland Let the old Lion Roar Watch em give those bleeding hearts what for Saw a man on a screen Tough sort of nut Chamois leather face And a laugh like a head butt Monkey business as usual They’re putting up a bigger fence Summon up the fear of God Gonna call it common sense Hey hey the new tin drum Little boy blue they\re coming for you King of the hill and the queen of the slum Look at them dancing Dancing to the new tin drum They enjoy a bit of free fall Like to cut to the chase Cut out the middleman Mark out the race And he talks a good game He walks a fine line A tankard and a tan And a no vacancy sign Monkey business as usual They’re singing that familiar song Better pray we can send em on their way Or we’ll all fall down before too long Hey hey the new tin drum Little boy blue They’re coming for you Its fine for a few and its alright for some Look at them dancing Dancing to the new tin drum Riffing on the empire Sending out a brick bat Burning little effigies And welcome mats Someone in the South East is losing their religion And its salt meet wound Cat say hello to pigeon Blind votes scapegoats How about that Talking 26 million To get em pumped on stats Get the great back in the name Get the homeys back to work Send your heart to Jerusalem Via Dunkirk

What Kind Of Noise Will It Make? Is it gonna go down laughing Is it gonna go out with a bang Is there gonna be a fanfare Is there gonna be a creak Or a whole salvation army band Are we gonna hear it beak What kind of noise will it make? What kind of noise will it make? Are they gonna sing hymns round the fire Will it crackle like the bones of the damned Are our million little Gods gonna run for the hills Proclaiming this is not what they had planned Are we gonna hear it shake What kind of noise will it make? What kind of noise will it make? You know I'm colour blind Is this green or red Cos all those monkeys who should be typing Shakespeare Are pushing buttons instead Will it sound like a plane through the window Or a verse of Auld Lang Syne Tell me that I'm wrong Come on tell me I've watched Bob Peck onto many times Yeah I know just whats at stake But what kind of noise will it make? What kind of noise will it make? You know I'm colour blind Is this green or red Cos all those monkeys who should be typing Shakespeare Are pushing buttons instead And is it gonna sound like Strummer Or is it gonna sound like Brahms Or will it not make a peep Will we just hear the snap Of all those useless lucky charms Will we hear it way too late What kind of noise will it make? What kind of noise will it make? What kind of noise will it make? All I wanna know is What kind of noise will it make?

Willow 04:18
Willow The rhythm The flicker Of each screen Gets quicker Than heartbeats dance feet But Hope left A window Open And you know She don't speak in code We will bend like willow when it comes down Show me Your two hands Imperfect Human And quiet rushes in Sing to me Scream at me Dance with me Dream of me That's where we begin We will bend like willow when it comes down Show me the lines on your faces Give me then break of the wave There's angels in each of the spaces And God in the stories we save We're 32 flavours of chaos We're wired and we're tired and we're slow Don't let the numbers play us just Let it go let it go let it go

Eyes On The Prize Paul and Silas bound in jail Go no money for their bail Keep your eyes on the prize And you roll right on Paul and Silas thought they were lost Heavens shook and the chains came off Keep your eyes on the prize And you roll right on Hold on! Hold on! Hold on! Keep your eyes on the prize The only chain this girl can stand Is that chain of hand to hand Keep your eyes on the prize And you roll right on I’m gonna board that big greyhound Carry this love from town to town Keep your eyes on the prize And you roll right on Freedoms name is mighty sweet Pretty soon we’re gonna meet Keep your eyes on the prize And you roll right on Got my hand on the gospel plow Wont take nothing for my journey now Keep your eyes on the prize And you roll right on I’ve never been to heaven but I’ve been told Its a first class city with Keep your eyes on the prize And you roll right on The only thing that I did wrong Was staing in the wilderness too long Keep your eyes on the prize And you roll right on
