Sail

i'd rather be a book
cos i'll never be a writer
i'm a pacifist just by design cos i'm
just no fighter
i'd rather be a sail
dictated by the wind
cos i know there's somewhere i should be going
but i just don't know where to begin
cat in a cradle
floating down the stream
cat in a cradle
waiting for the cream
i'd rather be asleep
cos i'm tired of being awake
the decisions i take in my dreams
are ones i can face
i'd rather be a sail
dictated by the wind
cos i know there's somewhere i should be going
but i just don't know where to begin
cat in a cradle
floating down the stream
cat in a cradle
waiting for the cream
(have you ever been lost?)
i'd rather be down
cos i'm just fed up
i'll count my blessings
then i'll just give up
i'd rather be a sail
dictated by the wind
cos i know there's somewhere i should be going
but i just don't know where i begin
cat in a cradle
floating down the stream
cat in a cradle
waiting for the cream

Void

got to reschedule everything
the revolution is pending
got to keep them watching
got to bring it all back to base
(we need something here to fill the void)
how about a show where celebrities guess
who can bake the most antiques on ice?
we'll show it every week day
come the weekend we'll show it twice
(we need something here to fill the void)
we're on license to use the fees
cameras always rolling
famine, war, dancing, disease
let's see how we're polling
watch kirstie knit a spoon
put brian cox in pantaloons
would russell brand do a makeover show?
dale winton's favourite festive tunes
we need something here to fill the void
nature abhors a vacuum so
we need something

Nutshell

in a nutshell
they set it up to fail so they could sell
ring the alarm bells
the public purse is thrown to private hell
the contract's on the table
while the papers peddle the fables
in a nutshell
they've taken all the pillows from your bed
here's the hard sell
you can buy them back but before you rest your head
sign this disclaimer
we're covering all the facts and favours
(figures as defence, sell it to your friends)
in a nutshell
the private pockets swell to fit the fee
hear the alarm bells
they're selling all the things they took for free
back on the table
if you're ready, willing and able... to pay
(figures as defence, sell it to your friends)
and if you pay we'll fix you
and if you pay we'll fix you
and if you pay we'll fix you
but every day we've stitched you

Birds

every day she puts bread out on the doorstep
the gulls, they fly around her house
every day she puts scraps out on the window sill
for the birds, they're her companions
every day there's bread out on the doorstep
the gulls, they fly round her house
every day there's scraps out on the pavement
for the gulls, they're her best friends
maybe they fill up a void in her life
a hole that once was filled by someone or something
so every day she puts bread on the doorstep

Guns Make Better

just a military fantasist
who can't resist the chance
to get his guns out on display
he's got some ammunition
from the last time he went fishing
(it's the survivalist way)
he's setting up his camera while he repeats the mantra
“they don't fit in!”
“they don't eat bacon"
"they don't follow jesus"
"they're not my colour of skin!”
just a military fantasist
who can't resist the chance
to get his guns out on display
he's got outspoken views
about the muslims and the jews
and why he thinks the country's lost its way
he said it on a forum
like so many have before him
he was laughed clean out of the place
but he's no stephen hawking
so his bullets did the talking
he ended up talking to his own face
"i can't see things getting any better"
"i can't see things getting any whiter"
shooter!
not a terrorist!
he's just disturbed.
