YOU'RE NOT DIFFERENT
Your mortgage will expire at the end of your life.
Your kids will leave home just before your wife.
Your job is on the line and it's draining your sap.
Your world is a conveyer belt waiting to snap.
You're not different though you think you are.
Just like all the others following the same star.
You're not different and you never will be.
You have no individual identity.
You're a paper tiger with no spark or bite.
A docile predictable suburbanite.
You're a cog in a machine and think it's all right,
In sync with the other drones every day and night.
You're not different.....
They programme your circuits, you're a robot.
They wind you up, you're clockwork.
They control you with wires, you're a puppet.
You're a carbon copy, you're a clone.
You're not different.....
We're not odd, we're just not like you.
We each have an independent point of view.
You think you're unique but you're all the same.
You're only a cipher with a number for a name.
You're not different.....

ILLEGAL ALIENS
They're from the toughest part of the galaxy.
They infiltrated the infrastructure of our society.
And reduced us to a state of creeping paralysis.
Enslaving everyone in the final analysis.
Illegal aliens illegally
Took total control of our powers-that-be.
Illegal aliens ruthlessly
Increased our paranoia and animosity.
They didn't tick the right boxes when they arrived.
They pushed all the wrong buttons but they survived.
They broke and changed our laws without a sound.
They crossed and burnt our bridges to the ground.
Illegal aliens illegally ...
Only legal aliens can rescue us all
Now the illegal ones have put up a wall.
From another planet not another nation.
Extraterrestrial immigration.
Illegal aliens illegally ....

THROWN OUT OF THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS
I was thrown out of the Coldstream Guards
When they saw through every one of my facades.
I was thrown out of the Coldstream Guards
As I couldn't cut the mustard for the whole nine yards.
I marched out of step and I stepped out of line.
(Left, Right, Left, Right, Lilywhite).
Neither Milanollo nor Figaro were fine.
(Left, Right, Left, Right, Lilywhite).
I didn't fit in and I didn't belong.
(Left, Right, Left, Right, Lilywhite).
All I did, said and thought was considered wrong.
(Goodbye, goodbye, Lilywhite).
I was thrown out of the Coldstream Guards ...
They have their courage and integrity.
(Second to none, in all they've done).
They have their loyalty but no, not me.
(Second to none, they're number one).
From the new model army guarding the Monarchy.
(In duty not fun, second to none).
While I became committed by psychiatry.
(Who has lost? Who has won? Second to none).
I was thrown out of the Coldstream Guards......

SWINGING FROM THE CHANDELIERS
Crestfallen without a parachute.
Quite unlike me you haven't got a clue.
Forlorn you behave like King Canute
As nothing in your world is tickety-boo.
I've been swinging from the chandeliers
While you were all hanging from your nooses.
Your boundaries became my frontiers
While I subtly ignored every one of your excuses.
Surreptitiously I climbed into your vision
While you were reading burning books by the fireside.
Deliciously I swooped in and out of indecision
While playing Dr Jekyll to your Mr Hyde.
I've been swinging from the chandeliers....
Chill out, you're absolute zero.
Burnt out, you've been extinguished.
Crash out, a failed superhero.
No doubt, certainty relinquished.
I've been swinging from the chandeliers....

BOOMERANG II
Caleb calls my name.
The scarab's gone insane.
You're absorbed into my brain
Like a black heart's nightmare flame.
Boomerang girl are you coming back to me
Like a cosmic thunderbolt launched from tranquillity?
Boomerang girl are you coming back to me
Haunting as a spectral holocaust from the sea?
Scoriton he scores again
As he reveals to my lover
That he's better than any other
But I know that he's deranged.
Boomerang girl .....
Flashing her smiles before my eyes
Tries to deceive me with her lies,
But I penetrate her defences
Though her power is unrelenting.
Boomerang girl .....
Keep away from me all my life.
You make me feel I'm in need of a wife.
But you always return like the six on a dice
Like a human boomerang in my life.
Boomerang girl ....
Are you coming back?
Are you coming back to me? (twice)
Yes... No.... Yes.... No....
Yes... No.... Yes.... No!

I AM SCHIZOID
I am schizoid....I am schizoid....
I am schizoid....I am schizoid....
I am schizoid....you are schizoid....
I am schizoid....we are schizoid
I am schizoid...they are schizoid....
I am schizoid...he and she are schizoid
I am schizoid....schizophrenia....
I am schizoid....schizophrenia
I am schizoid....schizophrenia....
I am schizoid....schizophrenia
Schizoaffective disorder
Is not schizophrenia.
I'm only schizoid, not schizophrenic.
One is eccentric. The other is psychotic.
I am schizoid....am I schizoid?
I am schizoid....am I schizoid?
I am schizoid....am I schizoid?
I am schizoid....yes I'm schizoid.

SPOILER ALERT: THE END OF THE WORLD IS NIGH
It's a spoiler alert - Do or don't bet your shirt
Or be so smug. Is it or not a dead cert.
Yes a spoiler alert. More or less than a flirt.
A casual shrug. Reinvent or rework.
The end of the world is nigh.
Say goodbye to the land and the sea and the sky.
The end of the world is nigh
To the living and the breathing who expect to ask why.
It's a spoiler alert ....
The end of the world is nigh. The end of the world.
What do we get with a revelation,
A big bang or pindrop final sound?
When Armageddon leads to our destination
Who flies heaven bound? Who drops underground?
The end of the world is nigh. The end of the world.
It's a spoiler alert ....
Life is a blip ending with a dip.

SLASH MY WRISTS II
Take your courage in your hands.
Prepare to make the final stand.
No more worries or problems.
Glorify the easy end.
Slash your wrists and I'll slash mine.
We are all running out of time.
Slash your wrists and I'll slash mne.
It's the only way as you will find.
Suicide is the antidote to life.
Get a knife and slice the vein.
Watch the blood flow down the drain.
Feel the coldness setting in.
Fall asleep and no more pain.
Slash your wrists and I'll slash mine....
Suicide is the antidote to life.
Take your life and find the peace
You could not before release.
When you're dead I'll join you too
And we'll be back together soon.
Slash your wrists and I'll slash mine....
Suicide is the antidote to life.
Come along, don't waste time.
You know it's best to end your life.
It's not worth living in this world
With all it's misery and strife.
Ignore your friends and relatives
Don't heed their naive advice.
Don't let the Samaritans change your mind.
Use the knife to kill yourself tonight.
Slash your writs and I'll slash mine....
Suicide is the antidote to life.
If you take this song too literally you're dead already!

FREAK ELITE
We are the freaks of the Freak Elite.
Don't ever expect us to be discreet.
We are the hazards in your snake pit.
The undisputed truth is that we'll never quit.
Your attitudes created our discord.
You stockpiled your hate and went overboard.
Your faults and views could never be ignored
You scratched a nail down our blackboard.
We're the parasites who'll poison your delights
And the stark shock stormers haunting all your nights.
Your closed-mind lives will ensure your defeat.
We are the freaks of the Freak Elite.
