lyrics

This magick spell
spells out 'A' spelling Bee
I'm getting stung by Sting and the Police
and Sting says 'Fuck The Police'
and I reply
“Fuck the me, me, me, me, me, me mythos”

The ethos of that manifesto
manifests
as man is festering
pestering
nesting
nestling
and wrestling

bringing pestilence
providing no sustinence
jumping the fence
scaling the wall
making the tower fall

and the sky will fall with it chicken little boy
Dicken's little toy
and his Oliver's Garden
of Eden

need weedin'
cos the Bible's been rewritten

by Joss Whedon.

'Needs more freedom' said Snowden
now he is snowed-in
He showed up
but freedom's still slowed up

cos you say Tomato

and they say Ketchup

I'm a magickal slut
reading occult smut
and when I'm stuck in a rut
and all-of-a-flutter
I imagine
that fly of butter
and with my mind's camera shutter
I pic myself up
out of the gutter

and I motorboat outta shit creek

I do triple damage on the double speak

I don't care if you say 'en pointe' or 'on fleek'

cos there's a tongue in my turn of cheek

And no, I won't eat Nando's
cos I'm a spoken-word commando
and I command that office
like I command this orifice

can you sacrifice
a little bit of time
little lamb

I'll make you minted
get you mashed
leave you thrashed
and lashed

Your door's unlatched
your cache is snatched
your country's been smashed
by the mad, bad new Thatcher
that free school meal snatcher
can't stop
culling the badger

Stop...

Can you bother
to love your brother
let the good vibes brew there
and allow the brouhaha
and give these tits the push off
Brrra

So, as we pass over passover
think of those passed over
walking on the overpass
living in the underpass
they ain't got no multipass
their story ain't in the multiplex
cos it's hidden in plain view
sleeping against the plexiglass

going through rank attacks
for sleeping near a taxi rank
whilst you drive a tank
that costs £100 for a tank of gas
well, no gracias
I'd rather buy an ounce of grass
but it's filled with broken glass

It's seven years bad luck when you break a mirror
so, bring some myrhh and some frankinsence
and smell the frank scents
and swell and flank scouts
going 'DIB DIB DIB
Dob Dob Dob'
all saying they're doing God's Job
But they've
all made a terrible mistake

cos God does not believe in them
anymore

So could you please hold the door
whilst I hold the floor
and leave you unsure
on shore leave
of your senses
sense the lenses
Letting you know you're being watched
24/7, 365

You see, CCTV let's you know you're alive
in this alien nation
can you feel the alienation
on your marks of hesitation?
Your hard-earned rights in capitulation
cos our captain's not earned her station

This is BBC Radio 2+2=5
That's two plus two equals Take Five
a fake life
cos time is an illusion
I'm alluding
to the things that are eluding
of the things your concluding
of concurrent current events in stages
turning pages
numbered one

to infinity

Pooling your resources
full of contortion
wounds an contusions
this is a word revolution
against the world's desitution
electrocution
via
my eleocution

This spell is from the front door of hell
the internal inferno
the eternal internment
cos my body is a cell
a body made of cells
a body of work for sale
and if the eyes are indeed the windows on the soul
then our mouths must be the sill

So, to prevent your soul form getting ill

Thou shalt always,
always
kill
