Do you think it makes me care much more or not?
Do you all agree with them and like it a lot?
Take it in or leave it out so what’d you see?
Nothing in my mind to say it’s gonna be
Do you even know that it’s just a disguise?
Social misconception and you’re part of the lies.
Do you even know that it’s just a disguise?
Social misconception and you’re part of the lies.
Chorus:
Pigs in skies
Alibies
Big fat lies
What’s the story?
Pigs in skies
Alibies
Big fat lies
It’s Jackanory
Verse2
Do you need to learn the facts from this or not?
Searching in your brain for the things you forgot
Everybody thinks they understand what they see
Read between the lines it’s full of bullshitty
Do you even know that it’s just a disguise?
Social misconception and you’re part of the lies.
Do you even know that it’s just a disguise?
Social misconception and you’re part of the lies.

DEFEND BARRACADES, THROW THE HAND GRENADE, STOP THEM IN THEIR TRACKS
FIX BAYONETTE, AND DON’T FORGET, TO WATCH EACH OTHERS BACKS
FLAGS FLY HIGH, SMOKE IN THE SKY, THE ECHOS STILL REMAIN
WEAR THE SCARF, FAMILIES HALVED, CIVIL WAR IN SPAIN
Chorus
Do you remember when we used to sing and dance,
For liberty, we need to take a chance…
Care free days, we had our lives ahead
In the days before no parasan, WE SAID……….
NO PASARAN, NO PASARAN..
NO PASARAN, NO PASARAN..
NO PASARAN, NO PASARAN..
NO PASARAN, NO PASARAN..
THEY SHALL NOT PASS, UNTIL THE LAST, PASS THE MESSAGE ON
DOGS OF WAR, THEY COME FROM FAR UNTIL THE ENEMY’S GONE
WE TAKE THIS TOWN, THEN MOVE ON DOWN TO MEET THE FOE AGAIN
WITH BLOOD AND TOIL, DEFEND THE SOIL OUR COMRADES WILL SUSTAIN
Chorus
Do you remember when we used to sing and dance,
For liberty, we need to take a chance…
Care free days, we had our lives ahead
In the days before ‘no pasaran’, WE SAID……….
NO PASARAN, NO PASARAN..
NO PASARAN, NO PASARAN..
NO PASARAN, NO PASARAN..
NO PASARAN, NO PASARAN..
MID /Solo
MANY SOULS, SO STRONG, SO BRAVE, LIE ASLEEP IN AN UNKNOWN GRAVES
LIVES HAVE GONE, BUT MEMORIES LIVE ON IN MONUMENTS TODAY
SECRETS SHARED, BUT DON’T BE SCARED TO PROTECT YOUR LIBERTY
DON’T THINK TWICE OF THE SACRIFICE, LAND OF THE FREE
Chorus
Do you remember when we used to sing and dance,
For liberty, we need to take a chance…
Care free days, we had our lives ahead
In the days before ‘no pasaran’, WE SAID……….
NO PASARAN, NO PASARAN..
NO PASARAN, NO PASARAN..
NO PASARAN, NO PASARAN..
NO PASARAN, NO PASARAN

THIS GIRL, SHE WAS A LONER, SHE NEVER SETTLED DOWN
SHE CAME FROM A BROKEN FAMILY, THE WRONG SIDE OF TOWN
BED SITS AND SLUMS, SINGLE MUMS
MOULD UPON THE WALL
GET OUT OF HERE, HAVE NO FEAR
SHE KNEW WHO SHE SHOULD CALL.
OTHERS TOOK THEIR LIFE FOR GRANTED
HANDED ON A PLATE
THE DREAMS SHE DREAMED, HER HOPES AND FEARS
SHE WANTED IT JUST THE SAME
STOLE FROM THE SHOPS, RUN IN WITH COPS
SHE LEARNT WHEN SHE WAS SMALL
TURNING TRICKS, BUT NOT FOR KICKS
DRUGS AND ALCOHOL
SHE’S, RUNAWAY,
SHE’S GOT TO, GOT TO, GOT TO GET AWAY FROM HERE
SHE’S, RUNAWAY,
SHE’S GOT TO, GOT TO, GOT TO GET AWAY FROM HERE
DIRTY TRAIN FROM EASTERN MAIDSTONE
SHE MAKES HER WAY UP TOWN
ANOTHER FACE LOST TO THE EVENING
JUST ANOTHER NUMBER IN THE CROWD
SHE HATES COMMUTE
SHE THINKS HE’S CUTE
SHE WAS ALWAYS ON HER OWN
HE DIDNT KNOW,
IT DIDN’T SHOW
HER COVER NEVER BLOWN
MANY CHOOSE THEIR OWN LIFE PATHWAYS
SHE NEVER GOT THE CHANCE
SPEND HER LIFE IN LONDON SUBWAYS
ESCAPING FROM THE PAST
ANONYMOUS,
NOT OBVIOUS
SHE BLENDED IN SO WELL
SHE PLAYS IT COOL,
NO KID FROM SCHOOL
ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL

CHILDREN OF UKRAINE,
YOU BETTER BEWARE,
THE ARMIES OF THE EAST,
ARE WAITING OVER THERE,
CHILDREN OF EUROPE,
HOW WILL NATO HELP?
WITH A HANDFUL OF SANCTIONS,
AND VERY LITTLE ELSE.
CHORUS
THE COLD WAR IS BACK ON,
WE’RE WINDING UP THE CLOCK
IT’S THE TWELTH HOUR,
TICK-TICK-TOCK
THERE’LL BE NO MORE TANKS WAR
WHO THEY TRYING TO FOOL?
CORDITE CLOUDS ARE FORMING UP
MADMEN WANT TO BLOW THEM UP
EVERYONE SHOULD HIDE AWAY
THE COLD WAR NEVER STOPPED
IT’S ARMAGEDDON TIME
IT’S TWELVE O’CLOCK
CHORUS
THE COLD WAR IS BACK ON,
WE’RE WINDING UP THE CLOCK
IT’S THE TWELTH HOUR,
TICK-TICK-TOCK
STAND UP AND UNITE,
TOGETHER TAKE A STAND
PEOPLE OF THE WORLD,
THEIR FUTURE’S IN YOUR HANDS
BETTER THAN THE SORROW
IS HARMONY, LOVE AND PEACE
YOU HOLD THE POWER
TO SMITE THE EVIL BEAST
CHORUS
THE COLD WAR IS BACK ON,
WE’RE WINDING UP THE CLOCK
IT’S THE TWELTH HOUR,
TICK-TICK-TOCK
MANY YEARS OF TEARS
WITH SEPARATE SIDES AND FEARS
WHAT WILL BE TOMORROW
IS A THEATRE OF WAR
TANKS AND TROOPS ON FOREIGN LAND
DRONE STRIKES ON THEIR HOME GROUND
SOON YOU’LL HAVE NO SAY
WHEN THEIR WORLD IS BLOWN AWAY

You feel that you are better and that you need to win
You always get your way you never seem to give in
You don’t care who you hurt when you push me in the dirt
You’re narcissistic
You feed off negative crap and shrug off authorities
You make your demands with no moral boundaries
Directions never followed rules that are only borrowed
You’re narcissistic
I’ll take my chance it’ll never be yours Devils horns
I’ll take my chance it’ll never be yours Devils horns
Always have to show off every moment you sieze
Seeking out attention with your pity parties
Whenever you’re told it’s no we see the rage grow
You’re narcissistic
I’ll take my chance it’ll never be yours Devils horns
I’ll take my chance it’ll never be yours Devils horns
Middle
I’ll take my chance it’ll never be yours Devils horns
I’ll take my chance it’ll never be yours Devils horns

ON THE TRAIN, DAY TRIP TO THE COAST
SUN AND SEA IS WHAT WE LIKE THE MOST
THE OTHER LADS WE’LL MEET THERE LATER ON
THEY HAD A SHIFT BEFORE THEY GET THEIR FUN
LONG WEEKENDS IN BRIGHTON OR SOUTHEND
EVERY YEAR WE DO THEM ALL AGAIN
ON THE BEACH, SOAKING UP THE SUN
THEN WE HEAR THE WORD THAT WE SHOULD RUN
LOOK ALL AROUND, HEAR THE SOUND, THERES SOME ACTION GOING DOWN
CHORUS
BOOTS IN THE BACK
(COME AND HAVE A GO IF YOU THINK YOURE HARD ENOUGH)
PUNKS AND SKINS SURROUNDED BY PO-LICE
HOPING THAT THE CROWDS WILL SOON DECREASE
KEEP A WARY EYE, IN CASE IT STARTS
TRY TO SEND US BACK IN OLD BILL CARTS
HERE WE ARE, OUR BACKS AGAINST THE WALL
ALONE WE STAND, UNITED WE WILL FALL
WE SHALL FIGHT, RIGHT UNTIL THE END
THEN NEXT WEEK, WE’LL DO IT ALL AGAIN
LOOK ALL AROUND, HEAR THE SOUND, THERES SOME ACTION GOING DOWN
CHORUS
BOOTS IN THE BACK
(COME AND HAVE A GO IF YOU THINK YOURE HARD ENOUGH)
LETS GOooooo! (MID RIFF)
EVENING COMES, WE’RE ON OUR WAY BACK HOME
OUR LOCAL PUB IS WHERE WE ALL BELONG
CHECK OUR SCARS, THEN COUNT OUR FRIENDS
WE CAN’T WAIT TO DO IT ALL AGAIN (HA HA!)
WE LOVE OUR MATE’S, WE LOVE OUR GOOD OL’ MUMS
WE’RE GOOD BOYS WHEN ALL THAT’S SAID AND DONE
PEOPLE THINK WE’RE ALWAYS IN A MOOD
WE CAN’T HELP WE’RE JUST MISUNDERSTOOD
LOOK ALL AROUND, HEAR THE SOUND, THERES SOME ACTION GOING DOWN

I’m a slave to my man cave, I’ve got my amp and deck
Choice of Punk or New Wave, what do I put on next?
Solid standard discs in black, red ones blue ones lots of shades
EP albums or just one track, my need…. Never…. Fades
Pre-chorus
Listening now to GBH, then a bit of Clash
Terminal Heads then UK Subs, The Committed, and Anthrax
Chorus
I’m a vinyl junkie
I’m a vinyl junkie
Verse 2
Even if I wanted to, can never slow it down
Draws me inside right on cue, I’m never on my own
Turn table’s on the go, needle weighted please don’t skip
Set the volume not on low, my need….. has a….. Grip
Pre-chorus
Listening to The Warriors, then a bit of Skids
Perjury, Rancid, Dog Rotten, Buzzcocks and Rich Kids
Chorus
I’m a vinyl junkie
I’m a vinyl junkie
Solo (verse3)
Pre-chorus
Listening to The Cato Street, then S W R
Cockney Rejects, Infa Riot they’re all on my radar
Chorus

Don't Waste My Time

Can you hear me at the back, can you see me at the front,
Or am I standing here like some kind of cunt?
Can you hear me at the front can you see me at the back,
Or am I standing here like some kind of twat?
Come and buy our merchandise,
I bet you didn’t realize,
That we had one, in your size
C D or new style tee,
No, we can’t get you in for free
We don’t know you anyway
DON’T WASTE MY TIME
I really like your band, your image and your sound,
Your songs they reminded me of someone else around.
I think you should change, the songs don’t fit your range,
Turn up the vocals as I can’t hear you say your name
Your songs have no fuss, a sing along chorus,
Well thank you very much, that wasn’t us.
We’ve not been on yet,
We’ve worked on our set…
But there’s something you should know
DON’T WASTE MY TIME
Would you even turn up if we played in your front room?
Could you even sing along or dance to every tune?
We all have full time jobs and no we won’t get big
We had to jump through hoops just to, just to, just to.
Get us on this gig
No we don’t earn a wage,
It’s a struggle to get paid
Promoters, ha, what a joke
I hope you all realize
But just before we say goodbye,
One last thing we’d like to say
DON’T WASTE MY TIME

Living In Me

I GOT TIRED OF LIVING THIS WAY, IT’S NOT HOW IT’S MEANT TO BE.
I’VE HAD ALL I CAN STAND. THEY CAN’T TAKE ANY MORE FROM ME.
BEHIND THIS MASK, MY EYES ARE BARELY ALIVE.
I FEEL THERES SOMETHING WRONG, I’M ALL DEAD INSIDE.
I STILL REMEMBER BACK THEN, AND I’M ANGRY ‘BOUT IT NOW.
THE WAY YOU ALL TREATED ME, I JUST CAN’T LET IT GO.
MAYBE I SHOULD’VE BEEN A NICE BOY AND SUNG ABOUT PRETTY GIRLS.
BUT I’M NOT, THERES SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME.
THERE’S A VENGENCE LIVING IN ME.
(CH) CAN’T FIGHT THIS THING I GOT INSIDE.
PEOPLE RUN AWAY FROM ME AND HIDE.
CARRY ON, REPEAT IT ONCE AGAIN.
HELP ME THROUGH THIS THING I CANT EXPLAIN.
I JUST WOUND MYSELF SO TIGHT, I’M OLD BEYOND MY YEARS.
THE ONLY THING FOR SURE I KNOW, IT WILL END IN TEARS.
THIS CONSTANT ANGER, WILL IT NEVER END.
WERE THEY REALLY FRIENDS OF MINE, OR WAS IT JUST PRETEND?
(CH)
(MID) MAYBE IT’S THE WAY I WAS BROUGHT UP, NOT TO TAKE IT OUT ON ANYONE.
KEEP IT ALL BOTTLED INSIDE, ‘TIL I SNAP!
THEN MY VENGANCE BE DONE
THEN MY VENGANCE BE DONE (CH x2)

SO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU’VE HAD A BAD DAY YOU GO DOWN THE PUB TO RELAX, RIGHT?,
WELL, AT THE END OF MY SHIFT, I WENT DOWN THE PUB,
AND I REALLY DIDN’T WANT A FIGHT.
‘COS MY BOSS CHEWED ME OUT OVER SOME PETTY THING
AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, I’LL HAVE A SWIFT GIN
THEN ME MATE CAME IN,
WHILE I HAD ANOTHER,
BEFORE I KNEW IT I WAS TALKING TO MY MOTHER
I THOUGHT I’D GO HOME
NO HARM THERE
THEN I HAD ANOTHER AND ANOTHER AND ANOTHER
THEN IN A BLINK OF AN EYE
QUICK AS A ‘BLING’
’LAST ORDERS PLEASE’ GET ANOTHER IN
I’M ALREADY DOWN ON MY KNEES
I ORDERED A TAXI GET ME HOME PLEASE
BACK TO HIS GAFF FOR ONE FOR ROAD
THAT ROAD IS VERY LONG INDEED
NEXT I STUBBLE INDOORS
AND I THREW UP WITH ONE OF ME SNORES
SHE GAVE ME HELL SHE GAVE ME A FRIGHT
AND THEN SOME MORE WAY INTO THE NIGHT
I STARTED DIGGING OUT.
CHORUS
DAY BY DAY GETTING CLOSER TO DEATH
DAY BY DAY I DRAW MY LAST BREATH
FOR THOSE I’VE WRONGED, I’VE BROKEN THE TIES
FOR THOSE I’VE WRONGED, I APOLOGISE
DAY BY DAY GETTING CLOSER TO DEATH
DAY BY DAY I DRAW MY LAST BREATH
FÈELING LIKE IM AT ROCK BOTTOM
SO I NEED TO START........
CH: I’M DIGGING OUT, DIGGING OUT, DIGGING OUT MY OWN GRAVE X4

LIVING IN THIS LOW-DOWN LIFE,
I’M LOCKED UP IN THIS CELL,
THIRTY YEARS FOR MURDER
AND I’M GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL,
I AM NOT AFRAID,
AS I WAIT TO WALK THE MILE,
LOCKED UP IN THIS MAN - MADE HELL,
JAILED WITHOUTH A TRIAL.
MY TIME WILL COME,
MY TIME WILL COME,
MY TIME WILL COME,
COZ I LIVED BY THE GUN
I SHOWED YOU NO MERCY,
AND I DON’T EXPECT NONE BACK
TRAPPED INSIDE THESE DARKENED WALLS,
YOU EXPECTED ME TO CRACK
THERE IS NO REMORSE,
& THERES NO REGRET,
FOR THE ACTIONS THAT I DID,
MY FORTUNE HAS BEEN SET
MY TIME WILL COME,
MY TIME WILL COME,
MY TIME WILL COME,
COZ I LIVED BY THE GUN
TODAY I’M WEAK AND FEEBLE,
I’M PRAYING ON MY KNEES
I SHAKE MY HANDS UP TO THE SKY,
CAN WE END THE TORMENT PLEASE?
I ASK FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS,
MY KIN ARE LONG GONE DEAD
NOTHING WILL EVER END THIS,
EXCEPT AMPAGE TO MY HEAD
MY TIME WILL COME,
MY TIME WILL COME,
MY TIME WILL COME,
COZ I LIVED BY THE GUN
