Greeting loyal subjects Rank and file Reptilian brothers and sisters This is a transmission of music for the people From the archives of the Intergalactic Brasstronauts

We welcome you and yours Our friends from distant shores There's room for everyone Together we are strong Stick together all the rank and file We can thrive at the bottom of the pile It's lonely at the top And there's a bigger drop To get there one must climb On those they've left behind Stick together all the rank and file Give them just an inch they'll take a mile We may be the bottom of the pile But they can't take away our style

The rise and the late demise of humankind On this Planet Earth intrigues us Engraving fictitious borders on their shores and fighting wars But why? Their lack of respect for the land, sea or weather Their constant struggle for power and pleasure And their obsession with self-expression Blinded them to the threat from the sky One is confused and amused By the methods used by humankind In pursuit of leisure One person's trash, like this conical brass Was perceived by other minds a thing of treasure Pushed on to the face With some pressure applied A sound was produced that filled humans with pride Huge crowds would gather Worked up to a lather with pleasure

Greedy Game 02:49
Everywhere around the world things are just the same People at the top got cash but they got no brain They keep a poor rudie down They never share things around We don't wanna be a part of their greedy game Everywhere around the world where a rudie go High an' mighty dickhead man lookin' down his nose Don't judge us by wealth or the jobs that we've done Just wish us good health and let us have our fun We don't wanna be a part of their game no more

They pit the labourer against the foreigner They call a traveller a lazy scavenger They use the newspaper to stir up hate in you We need a takeover Let's shoot the messenger Propaganda Fabricated facts Leading weapons of the ruling class Just as deadly as a poison gas So shoot the messenger They could enlighten us Instead they frighten us When they could pacify They choose to vilify They use the newspaper to stir up hate in you We need a takeover Let's shoot the messenger Propaganda Fabricated facts Leading weapons of the ruling class Just as deadly as a poison gas So shoot the messenger

Open sesame, open the gate Open sesame, I'm gonna be late Open sesame, let me through Let me gotta do what I gotta do

Just Deserts 04:46
In Castleford, famed for it's coal mines Up North, where each day was a grind Young miners flocked to public houses Eager to drink and unwind Now, the combination of copious amounts of ale And a lack of vitamin D from working underground all day Really worked wonders for the mood of these young troopers If you know me You know that I can be cruel I will show you right now I don't suffer fools If someone test me Then he better get out quick If a bartender vex me Then him gonna get a lick No starter No main Just deserts My fury Your pain Just deserts I work by myself all day Underneath the ground I tear the coalface away With a heavy sound When I surface at night Don't get in my way I'm always ready to fight I will make you pay No starter No main Just deserts You're in trouble, boy 'Cause round here I'm the boss! I'm the pit boss The pit is mine The mine is mine And now you're mine I'll have them shoes off you as well That looks like a nice pair o' kickers Gimmie 'em!

When you gonna let your hair down When you gonna let your hair down I noticed that you're always working lately I know you've got a lot to do Let me know next time you're feeling lazy I'll come and spend some time with you Don't forget to let your hair down baby Have yourself a little fun We could even spend a night together A little bit of one-on-one relaxation When you gonna let your hair down When you gonna let your hair down I know that you've been under pressure lately And you know that I'm there for you Let me know next time you need distraction I'll come and spend some time with you Don't forget to let your hair down baby Have yourself a little fun We could even spend a night together A little bit of one-on-one relaxation When you gonna let your hair down When you gonna let your hair down When you gonna let your hair down When you gonna let your hair down

A good man keeps no secrets Gives his lover special treatment A good man won't get restless Staying out late, acting reckless I let myself go And I hurt you so But I know I can I can be a man You gave me love and affection Never questioned my profession You helped me build a good home Now I'm outside looking in through our window I let myself go And I hurt you so But I know I can I can be a man I let myself go And I hurt you so But I know I can I can be a man

You let yourself go, rude boy You let yourself go You let yourself go, rude boy You let yourself go You used to be lean, mean and very, very clean Now you're chubbier and grubbier than others on the scene I said oh, rude boy, you let yourself go You let yourself go, rude boy You let yourself go You let yourself go, rude boy You let yourself go You used to be a heart throb Used to be a star Now you're nibbling, dribbling and snoozing on the bar I said oh, rude boy, you let yourself go

It's another Another bloody hangover This one's the mother The mother of all hangovers What a decade we have had At times it seems the whole world's gone bad Be kind to each other Speak out for the oppressed And let's help each other Clamber out of this mess It's another Another bloody hangover This one's the mother The mother of all hangovers

Teacher, teach me a song And I'll sing for you Teacher, teach me a song And I'll sing for you Any kind of song will do Even if it's sad or blue So teacher, teach me a song And I'll sing for you Teacher, teach me a song I can sing back home Teacher, teach me a song I can sing back home When my baby is sad or blue Just one sweet song might get her through Teacher, teach me a song And I'll sing for you
