Freak Show
Laugh, from a hollow place, a transplanted face
Scintillated, a new dead star
Death is a salesman, death is a star
Never forget, how stupid you are
Dark, the end of reason, the experts came
Emaciated, in top pop shape
Blissed out, comeback, shameless, freak show
All is soap, and all is disease
Rolling twenty four hour greed
And few can laugh and I can’t breath
Where pantomime horses bolt and bleed
Bury me deep without my brain
Where all is fake and all is fame
Twitter your tears and blog your blame
Where grief and love and shit’s the same
Dance ‘til the public sickens, let the public buy
Icon worship, freak show flies
Blissed out, comeback, shameless, freak show
Freak show, freak show, freak show, freak show

Church of Love-in
We’re from the church of love-in
We’re from the church of speed
We’re from the state of habit
We’re in a state of need
We wait for miracles, we don’t like explanations
We suck our sugar pills, it feels so right
We live in fantasy, and we are not political
We’re not analytical, and we’re so free
We’re from the empty packet
Give it away for free
Black as the heart of disco
Mad as the birds we feed
We sell erotica, speaking glossolalia
Spirit, mammal, alien, yeah more bad seed
Don’t even think about it, crystals beads and profits
Open minds and wallets, we’re no fools
Love in love
Love in love
Love in love
Love in love
Just don’t push us too far
Just don’t push us too far
Just don’t push us too far
Love it up and love it all

Sold
Teen drama, it comes at you
The total victory of Margaret Thatcher
See your future fade away
Arm yourself and kneel to pray
Stay calm and work harder
The total victory of Margaret Thatcher
God of money, God of greed
God of market, all you need
Stick at it you’re dreaming you could make a killing
I’m staying to watch it on the television
You can never be loved you can only be sold
Crack down on, dole scrounger
Twenty more pounds for the tax avoiders
Moving money from screen to screen
Arms bribes, sales and magazines
They said they’d be glad when she was gone forever
Now pretend that the world just changes like the weather
You can never be young now before you get old
Cheap lager, glue culture
Principals of a smacked down vulture
Queen Victoria lights the way
Don’t pretend you’ll get away
Teen drama, the porn butcher
The complete victory of Margaret Thatcher
Dead souls screaming in the wind
Justice, equality what might’ve been
Stick at it you’re dreaming you could make a killing
I’m staying to watch it on the television
You can never be loved you can only be sold
They said they’d be glad when she was gone forever
Now pretend that the world just changes like the weather
You can never be young now before you get old

My Regeneration
I feel, no pain, high rise, high gain
All hail, swift growth, I feel, greed’s glow
My Regeneration
My Regeneration
Life-style, in-store, basement, Bar Love
Get paid, get more, despise the poor
My Regeneration
My Regeneration
My Regeneration
Wall Street panicked and caught a cold
The valet parker is on the dole
There’s an Anarchist mob at the entry-phone
But it’s the weekend and I’m alone
Burberry man on a child’s bike wanks
The woman with the bruises and white shoes drinks
For the girls from the Gipton and Seacroft Streets
Revenge is cruel, revenge is sweet
My keys, my phone, my car, my home
My shirt, my pants, all gone – let’s dance!
My Regeneration

Drone (Revolution)
When we get like this we know there is nothing
When we get like this it’s too late for talking
When we get like this we’re out to destroy
When we get like this we’re down with the boys
With my Little Red Book I discover
The thoughts of Chairman Mao and Baader and Lenin / Lennon
You showed up at the graveside of Bobby Sands
They kicked you all around on your face and your hands
And this is the big, the big idea
Light a fire, cry no tears
Tear it down and party like it’s ‘77
When you’re sailing far too close to the truth
Mental illness turning guns on the roof
The Red Army Faction trains in free Palestine
Naked girls on the roof with a coke and lime
When we get like this the blood spurts from dreams
Arm the freedom fighters and the Mujahedeen
When is a revolutionary just a man?
When is the revolution just a scam?
Ladies and Gentlemen there will be no revolution but everything will be televised
When it gets to this there’s no going home
When it gets to this hit the alarm
When it gets to this you’re in or you’re out
When you get here there’s no changing and no doubt
And this is the big, the big idea
Gudrun Ensslin cries no tears
Revolutionary consciousness
Tear down the wall sell souvenirs
The revolution was in your head
The revolution was in your head
The revolution was in your head

La Mouche
In my house I watch him die
I watch him land I watch him slow down
I spilled sugar I spilled tea
He still gets weak, this weakness I can feel
Cages - block the light
Lifeless - body blows
Goodbye to life and soul
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, life at high speed
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Half a wing and half a prayer
Every leg they say is numbered
Dried out - see through pain
Flightless - buzzwords drone
Fall around my home
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, life at high speed
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, swat, starve or free
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
If one green bottle should accidentally fall
My favourite flavoured fly

Shoot the People
A boy looking for war – free the people
A boy looking for love – hurt the people
A boy looking for sex – screw the people
A boy looking for death – shoot the people
To die at 22 – show the people
Never kissed a girl – blame the people
He’ll kill you for his love – shake the people
This makes religious sense – con the people
Shoot the people, kill the people,
Shoot the people, kill ‘em all
Shoot the people, kill the people
Shoot the people, kill ‘em all
People, people, people, people
For God and Abraham – teach the people
All will be revealed – hate the people
Dial that mobile phone – fool the people
Send them all to hell - kill the people
Shoot the people, kill the people,
Shoot the people, kill ‘em all
Shoot the people, kill the people
Shoot the people, kill ‘em all
People, people, people, people

Idiot God
We worship – an idiot God
Messed up, now won’t get involved
Get him drunk and truss him up and get him laid
Sell him drugs and toss him off and give him pain
Make him old and sell his soul and let him freeze
Let him fail and make him fat feel your disease
God says, to hell with it all
We’re building, building a wall
Keep ‘em out and keep ‘em down and keep us safe
Keep ‘em poor and keep us pure and keep the faith
Concrete, wire and guns buys us security
Temporary measures prove the prophesies
God made this happen or God let this be
And God knows what’s happening
And god says he’ll make you free
We worship – an idiot God
Messed up, now won’t get involved
Get him drunk and truss him up and get him laid
Sell him drugs and toss him off and give him pain
Make him old and sell his soul and let him freeze
Let him fail and make him fat feel your disease
God makes this happen or God lets this be
God made the Devil and God says to follow me
A God who craves worship, follow and be set free
Idiot

Abusive
I’ve been robbing the neighbours
I’ve been kicking a stink
I’ve been living on cat tins
You shudder to think
I’m abusive
I’m abusive
I’m abusive
I’m abusive
I’ve been fucking the family
Now they’re living alone
I’ve been searching the faeces
Been carrying on
I’m abusive
I’m abusive
I’m abusive
I’m abusive

Ten Floors
What is a child?
Ten years work and a way to hurt me
And what she deserves
Is the pain of loss and the pain I’m feeling
Father (farther) to fall
Can’t make it right but can make it even
Ten floors to finally show her
Ten floors to finally show her
Man on a ledge, two young children, hotel window
Take, take it all, I will show you, I will show you
Ten floors to finally show her
Ten floors to finally show her
Red hair, white skin, black lips, green eyes
Red skin, white hair, green lips black eyes

White Skin Suit
A white skin suit, animal blood
Ride my bones, cannibal hook
Fake and beg, believe what you should
Now come when I say, guilt is good
A white skin suit – the Josef Fritzl School
A white skin suit – of Contemporary Dance
A white skin suit – The Dahmer Experience
- and Westworld
Pig-faced man

Twisted Little Piggies
The twisted little piggies
Should die out in the snow
But the twisted little piggies
They know just where to go
So, say so, say so
So, say so, say so
So, say so, say so
They know just where to go

Whole Sky Monitor Leeds, UK
The chief export of Leeds’ Whole Sky Monitor is sonic shock and awe. Their sophomore effort, Twisted Little Piggies, is a discordant, vaguely political, overtly misanthropic body of hyper-energetic and possibly upsetting rock and roll blasts that smokes and sweats bullets. Actually, BBC1’s Steve Lamacq phrased it as “huge, hulking anti-pop.” Twisted Little Piggies will be your go-to soundtrack. ... more
