The Skeleton Army
The only thing I need
I some whisky and some weed
To drown all my sorrows and burn all my tomorrows, and
Staunch the wounds that bleed
The only thing I want
Is a bottle and a bong
The Queen gave her Royal Assent
It ain’t nothing wrong!
Join the Skeleton Army
Fly the Skull and Bones
First, we take Jerusalem
Then we take Rome
The only thing I see
And the only thing I hear
Are lies and riches from psychos and witches, and
The only thing I smell is fear
The only thing I know is
We know nothing at all
The World keeps spinning, and
Satan Keeps winning, and
The end is always near
Skeleton Soldiers!
Forward March on Babylon
Armed with nothing but booze and dope and
A Rock and Roll song

Evil Fœtus
Feel it kicking deep inside
Nowhere to run nowhere to hide
A bouncing baby is on the way
A little bundle of horror for the judgement day
Mama met a Handsome Devil by the Rivers of Babylon
She laid her eggs in a black pool for his demon seed to spawn
Mama’s babies have gotta live or she’ll burn for eternity
Ya gotta be born so you can die for the Land of the Free
Evil Fœtus
White Devil sailed across the sea
Bringing guns and chains and peace treaties
Bibles and technology
The manifest with your destiny
Mama met the White Devil on the shores of Gitchi-Gami
She knew he was the Wendigo and that he’d come for her babies
Mama’s babies have gotta live because he’s always hungry
Ya gotta be born so you can die in the Land of the Free
Evil Fœtus

Tender Tools
Nothing’s changed
I still feel the same
Way, I used to
When I thought I knew you
It still seems strange
You don’t understand and I can’t explain
Feels like I’m trying to tell a blind man
The colour of his eyes
Stab me so sweetly
Gently tear me apart
Use all your tender tools
To operate on my heart
I found this song in my cellar
I dragged it into the sun
I sang it for my old girlfriend
I sang it for my dead mom
I sold it to a Politician
And a Cigarette Company
But I gave the money away
To save the dolphins in the sea

Supremely White
I’m just a guy who’s supremely white
Suburban, protestant and uptight
I jump at every bump in the night
Dark shadows give me such a fright
But I love reggae
And Bob Marley
And I love ganja too
I come from the land of the ice and snow
My Grandfathers left Africa long ago
Banished from Eden after the Fall
My Grandmothers were Neanderthal
Some white folks think they are superior
Those white folks can kiss my posterior
Cuz I come from a bigger family
Got my Uncle Orangutang and Cousin Chimpanzee
And I love reggae
And Bob Marley
And warm sunshine
In Jamaica
And hot curry
With a Cuba Libré
And I love ganja too

Uranus is a Gas Giant
A fugitive psychonaut
Took a capsule they ought not
Disappeared without a trace
Into deepest darkest space
Inside out and outside in
Does it end? Did it begin?
Reaching for the furthest far
Ascending like a falling star
The Challenger slipped the surly bonds
The Voyager touched the face of God
Mercury spins at the top
Venus is way too hot
Mars cries out the battle call
Jupiter rules over all
Saturn rings with delight
Neptune swims in the night
But our path is Heaven scent
Uranus is a gas giant!

America’s Messiah was a singer from Tupelo
They launched him into outer space to open casinos
In a pink Cadillac wearing Gold Lamé, with a blond on each arm
All the power and the glory, and the money, looks and charm
The people here are so friendly just look into their big blue eyes
As clear and deep and empty as Nevada test-day skies
They build temples in the deserts where the stars pray for rain
The President asks his Ouija board “are the stars to blame?”
-
The Challenger slipped the surly bonds
The Voyager touched the face of God
The Television mesmerized us all
As we watched the brightest star fall
