  1. [Lyric] The Procession Of Popular Capitalism (McCarthy)

    Up and down the Strand I strolled around penniless But there were pockets to pick Beneath the hot august sun When suddenly the sound of singing and laughter arose in the distance And it drew me towards it And as I drew closer I could hear the song they sang "This is your country too! Join our procession That's marching onwards to war" I could see...Learn More

  2. [Lyric] Antinature (McCarthy)

    Antinature From the future We sing Go to the Highlands And put a bomb underneath a mountain Sweet little creatures Eat, sleep, shit the day away I won't be at the mercy of myself In every country A million raging ids Wage a war for the control Of our unhappy kids Do you want to go back Into the cold, into the darkness? We will win You can do...Learn More

  3. [Lyric] The International Narcotics Traffic (McCarthy)

    Music that could take you and your mind to a new steer These are chiming chords to take us both away from here The beat of a drum slips off your head The bass is shaking off your cares On it goes you're carried away on a sea of sound On and on to an ecstasy on a sea of sound The beat of a drum slips off your head The bass is shaking off your...Learn More

  4. [Lyric] Hands Off or Die (McCarthy)

    Around the table sat the people Some were eating, some were starving For there was never quite enough for each to have a share Every day there was a murder Or a knifing with someone shouting "Get your hands off, you bastard That's my food you're eating" That's nothing, others ? Blame the ? Women didn't even get a ? Every day an insane scramble...Learn More

  5. [Lyric] The Vision Of Peregrine Worsthorne (McCarthy)

    In Fleet Street I lay down to sleep In the seediest journalist bar And in my sleep a vision I dreamed From afar In celestial mist made of light An angel that blinds mortal eyes This vision I knew knew no wrong Only right He took my hand and showed me things I'd never dreamed The veil blinding me was lifted And truth shone, a beacon beaming The...Learn More

  6. [Lyric] In The Dark Times (McCarthy)

    In barbarous times you were hung If you stole sheep to have something to eat And while you hung the well-to-do Said, "A job well done" Women were burnt at the stake Maybe they'd done nothing Or slapped someone They shouldn’t have These were the crimes In the dark times These were the crimes In the barbarous times Pointless was well thought out...Learn More

  7. [Lyric] The Way Of The World (McCarthy)

    I would give all of my heart to you If only I could If I had a heart to give I'd give it to you And I'd give no thought to her If only I could But I'd like something to eat And I'd like somewhere to sleep It breaks my heart, but I'm afraid it's true We're all money's fools It's so bad, but it's the way of the world Look at the kindly old...Learn More

  8. [Lyric] The Wicked Palace Revolution (McCarthy)

    There was once an evil queen who waved the wand and blighted the land No school no hospital was set in the killing touch of her hand When a queen evil sat Will you leave us in peace? This queen was not alone she was egged on by loads of goblins Her wish was there command they would weave spells and spell death "When it hurts," the son sang "Will...Learn More

  9. [Lyric] God Made The Virus (McCarthy)

    In this hotbed of vice, in this nursery of sin Let them perish like flies in the reckoning Your evil acts that none can name Let them pave the way to the grave God made the virus to punish the wicked Let the bells ring out the old and ring in the new, in the new, in the new The sixties was an evil time Everybody took drugs and had sex all the...Learn More

  11. [Lyric] Governing Takes Brains (McCarthy)

    [Verse 1] You know, to be able to run the government You need a bloody good brain To be an MP, you must be someone well above The common run to do the job as you'll properly You need many, many qualities Ordinary mortals can't command I will tell you later what they all are [Chorus] Stupid fools say it's not hard To do what I do But let me tell...Learn More

    [Verse 1] As you no doubt heard by now, times are hard Industry once fighting fit needs to die The state can't spare the cash now It used to, as you have heard by now times are hard [Chorus 1] And so I'm asking the better off who Who rose through hard work To share our fair wealth with the poor [Verse 2] I'm speaking of charity As useful in a...Learn More
