"Time For Truth" lyrics
"Time For Truth"
What you're trying to say that haven't tried to say before
You're just another revolu with a lot of hot gas
Why don't you fuck off?
And you think you've got it worked out
And you think you've got it made
And you trying to play the hero
But you never walk home in the dark
I think it's time for truth
And the truth is you've lost uncle Jimmy
Admit your failure and decline with honor while you can
And you think you've got it sussed out
And you think that we're brain washed
And you're trying for a police state
So you can rule our bodies and minds
What ever happened to the great empire?
You bastards have turned it into manure
Time for the young to stick together now
I bet you sleep at night in silk sheets and a clean mind
While killers roam the streets in numbers dressed in blue
And you're trying to hide it from us
But you know what I mean
Bring forward those six pigs
We wanna see them swing so high
Liddle Towers!
And you think you've got it worked out
And you think you've got it made
And you trying to play the hero
But you never walk home in the dark
What ever happened to the great empire?
You bastards have turned it into manure
Time for the young to stick together now

James - "How Was It For You?" Well they said you are as good as you look but that
Would be impossible
For you look even better than the face of God on a sunny day
You look good enough to eat but I've had a bellyful
And now I have...
Billy Bragg - "Greetings To The New Brunette" Shirley
It's quite exciting to be sleeping here in this new room

You're my reason to get out of bed before noon

You know when we sat out on the fire escape talking

The Housemartins - "I Smell Winter" Now the sun was in my eyes
So forgive me if I was blind
But I can suddenly see the light
Now the blinds are raised
Now he's finally spoken
Winter's finally broken
Realize I'm heading for colder days...
The Clash - "Rudie Can't Fail" Sing, Michael, sing-on the route of the 19 Bus
Hear them sayin'
How you get a rude and a reckless?
Don't you be so crude and a feckless
You been drinking brew for breakfast
Rudie can't fail...
