Daddy

Are you in some kind of trouble?
Your Daddy looks awful mad to me
Did she lie about where she stayed last night?
I guess Daddy,
Daddy don’t agree!
Do it all for her!
Be right back!
Let the boss take over
As a matter of fact
Get away
From the door
Sniveling shit
Learn a lesson
And don’t come back!
What’s your problem?
Get out of the house
Take your stuff with you
And while you’re at it
Give her all your money
Give her all your money
Give her all your money
Give her all your money
Give her all your money
(Gold digging)
Gold dig her way out!
You don’t seem to be very happy
Your Mummy seems oh-so-sad to me!
Did she make up things about Daddy?
Because Daddy (Daddy) don’t agree!
What did he do?
To deserve your shit
Offered an arrangement
But it didn’t fit
In your plans
To ruin his life
Your selfish needs
Don’t you understand?
You’re his fucking wife!
Piggy in the middle
Like bait for a fish
Hook in mouth
Served up on a dish
Cold like sushi
Calm as a mill pond
I’ve never known such a calculating witch
Psychopathic
Gold digging bitch
There are things you need to know about Mum & Daddy
(There are things you need to know about Mum & Daddy)
There are things they don’t talk about at school
(There are things they don’t talk about at school)
There’s no time, so much haste and a lot of time to waste
(There’s no time, so much haste and a lot of time to waste)
Prefer to wage a war and cause trouble
Have you had enough
Ten more rounds
As strong as a an ox
And she likes to box
And she won’t ever stop
Less you’re down and out
And you head’s a mess
And there’s no one left about
To care about your side
Of the story and the truth
A washed up wreck
Of a man in a noose
Hanging from a branch
Of the Monkey Puzzle tree
With a gun in his hand
One dead out of three
The tragedy
The tragedy
Why does it have to be?
We’ve lost ability
We no longer know how to feel
What we no longer need

Verse
Help me with the shopping
You’ll have to go without
Car is running on empty
There’s a lot of it about
Empty the recycling bin
Order groceries online
A storm front coming in
Another bottle of red wine
(Time waits for no man)
Cash in your last cheque
(Time waits for no man)
Tie the rope around your neck
(Time waits for no man)
Raise you head high in the air
(Time waits for no man)
But you don’t seem to care
Chorus
Sometimes it seems so sad, I almost cry
But I found you and you gave me a reason why
Shattered mirror through which we stare
Eternal questions, but we don’t care

[it’s really gettin’ to me (repeat throughout)]
We’ve all been there
A bad day at work
Your cat died
Your Mum & Dad lied
The bastards
Teacher’s got a new pet
Exam time, don’t fret
Bill Gates dropped out
And I hear he did okay
Get home, your feet up?
Argue about this
And that
And nothing at all
There is no shame
To admit
It pisses you off and
That’s when we all agree
Things they get me down
I’m sure they do you
The damn things just won’t go away
So at the end of the week
When I’m feeling concrete
I blow the damn wall out the way
Out the way
I’m gonna vent some
Steam, steam
Ha Ha Haa, I’m gonna vent some steam, steam
I said steam, steam
Oh
I said steam, steam

I Could Just
02:41
|

|
I see you looking in the mirror
See you looking at me
You are not quite where you thought you would be
I could just Ooh!
Standing on my soapbox
Staring straight at the wall
A million different faces that don’t know me at all
I could just Aah!
Circumnavigate the seas
In my little boat
More like going round and round and trying to stay afloat
I could just Ooh!
Standing in the dock
Your honour give me a drink
Let us try to forget and let us try not to think
I could just Aah!

Limbs

Verse 1
Bodies, lying on the ground
The stench of death is all around
Family broken, torn apart
Sinking feeling in your heart
Mother crying, shed a tear
Father’s, gripped by the fear
Time stands still, just for a while
All your emotions put on trial
Anger, revenge, a bitter pill
Twisted nightmare but for real
Takes a while as time stands still
The pain inside makes you so ill
Rage within is taking hold
You never knew you’d feel so old
Check in, check out and don’t pass go
You never felt so low
Cling together, carry on
Realise, they are gone
Reveal the strength from deep within
To smile again it’s not a sin
Traumatise but feel alive
Let dark light in and let it thrive
Regurgitate, bring up the past
Good memories are meant to last
Chorus
Limbs that connect and divide us
They provide us
With a sense of harmony
Limbs that connect and complete us
They need us
Verse 2
Don’t get stuck in tragedy
Remove the visor then you’ll see
The warm embrace of community
We play with mediocrity
Knows no bounds
Pushed around (but we)
Rejoice, make a wonderful sound
Connected, productivity
A dream of utopia that will (never) be
Push and pull, back and forth
All for one and seize the day
One for all and feel the force
Your culture does show you the way
Now aren’t you glad you found the time
To act the horse in a pantomime
The simple genius of a rhyme
Or when not to

Blame the Government
02:48
|
|||
|
Your alarm clock is broken
And you’re running late
You’re so very tired
Because you stayed up late
You missed the bus
Now you’re late for work
Who you gonna blame?
Blame the government
You jumped the lights
Drunk on a Sunday morning
The signs on the road
Didn’t give you a warning
Your brand new car
Goes from zero to prison
Who you gonna blame?
Blame the government
You know your kids are skiving
Off of school
They just don’t like maths
It isn’t cool
Now they won’t get a job
When they grow up
Who you gonna blame?
Blame the government
There is no work
From 9 to 5
To pay for Sky and
Keep the dogs alive
Benefit money is running low
The dirty fuckers!
Blame the government
(Take some responsibility)
Nah, fuck it
Blame the government
(Take some responsibility)
Why Should I,
Blame the government
(Take some responsibility)
My taxes
Blame the government
(Take some responsibility)
NO!
Blame the government
Hair extensions falling out
(Blame the government)
Traffic lights on the roundabout
(Blame the government)
Chelsea lost three nil!
(Blame the government)
Now the cat is feeling ill
(Blame the government)
Your cold is getting worse
(Blame the government)
Been raining for a week
(Blame the government)
The car is stuck in reverse
(Blame the government)
Now the taps have sprung a leak
(Blame the government)
Teeth are falling out
(Blame the government)
Hair is getting thin
(Blame the government)
Now the bus is running late
(Blame the government)
Where to begin?
(Blame the government)
No time to finish up
(Blame the government)
No time to fathom out
(Blame the government)
Don’t want to hang around
(Blame the government)
You’re lost and can’t be found
(Blame the government)

The Enemy
05:21
|
|||
|
Bury your head in the dirt and plant a seed,
Let the roots roam free
Create an army to question authority
Stir yourself awake from still life apathy
From our self-induced comas because that’s where we’d rather be (Vs 2)
What is it that makes us want to be a part of a crowd?
What makes us want to raise our one voice loud?
Start a revolution in the back of a transit van?
March up to parliament and question (the man)?
Lies and cynicism are the enemy
That already emanates from the powers that be
Blame the man by all means do,
But the only one to blame, the one to blame is you
(I said) Lies and cynicism are the enemy

An incredible album from two ex-Daughters. A stunning smorgasbord of rock sounds and then some.

Jah Wobble, The Orb, Orbital, Pink Floyd and so much more. this re-release of Bonemachine's first album sounds as fresh today as it did over 20 years ago :-)

'Lupin' is already an instant classic! The Gary Numan vibes of 'Live So Young' are next and then we're off on another tangent. An incredible album.
