Bucket List
04:54
|
|||
I can be endlessly kind and infinitely true
Writing down the things I love about you
I can kiss you like you've never been kissed
And help you tick off everything on your sexual bucket list
I can shovel attention you like coal onto a hearth
And frame a picture of us shaped like a heart
Massage your feet when you've had a bad day
And get on my knees for all the chores that you hate
But all we've really done so far is flirt
There's one thing you don't know about me
I'm really really bad
Really really bad
Really really really really bad
At talking dirty
I'll be like I'm gonna tear your tights off with my teeth
My teeth are strong 'cause I use Oral B you see
I recommend you start using the same products as me
It'll greatly improve your dental hygiene
And I'm gonna make our nights of passion last long
By lecturing you for hours 'bout why Radiohead are great
And I know just how to drive you wild with my tongue
By asking you whether you've put on weight
I wanna spend each moment with you from dawn till dark
And every single day we'll go strolling in the park
Hand-in-hand we'll sit on a bench and feed the pigeons
And I'll tell you you have a face that could launch a religion
We'll attempt everything from a doggy to a sixty-nine
Until we've run out of sexual positions to try
Then we'll try some really strange
Really really strange
Really really really really strange
Roleplays
How 'bout we go for the Texas Cowboy roleplay
That's when I ride you like a rodeo horse
I suddenly shout out your best friend's name
Then try to hold on like a buckin' bronco
And for you I'll try
Really really try
Really really really really try
To talk dirty like a normal guy
I'll be like I'm gonna make you awfully wet tonight
And I'm not talking 'bout some water balloon fight
We're gonna stand outside for hours in the rain
Watching a non-professional football game
Which is more exciting than the sex we've had anyway

Empty Your Mind
04:00
|
|||
The future ain't looking too bright
Ignorant armies are fighting somewhere tonight
And things aren't exactly looking so promising for you
In some sweaty music venue
Nowadays people love a song
Especially a mediocre one
'bout loving a lover, missing a lover, or wanting to have a lover
Or changing your lover for another
Only a song
Only a song
Can empty your mind
And empty your head
And help you forget
You're a bit of a pleb
Most modern pop songs
Most modern pop songs
Are by and for total morons
There's market value in a tune
As bland as a dentist's waiting room
Approved by teams of hard-nosed marketing experts
For you the meek who won't inherit the Earth
Only a song
Only a song
Can empty your mind
For an entire night
and help you forget
Your grey little life
No-one ever went broke
No-one ever went broke
Insulting the intelligence of the public
Insulting the intelligence of the public
Me fans are stupid pigs
And the men probably have small dicks
And certainly no taste in music
And should piss off to some other gig

Romance Tonight
06:06
|
|||
I'm drunk on romance tonight
Out here just lost in your eyes
Your pink petal lips and your luxury hair
Like a female tall, dark, handsome millionaire
The moon she is smiling tonight
Bathing us like the streetlights
Let's walk hand-in-hand and turn into the park
We'll sit somewhere clean and count the stars
The park bench is invitingly lit
But a homeless guy's lying on it
I say "my good friend, can you please move your feet?
So my love and I can have ourselves a seat"
He asks me if I have spare change
I say I don't carry cash these days
Then turns to you and he asks with a slur
And I say "Hey, are you looking at my bird?"
So I punch him square in the chin
Then a steel toecap into his shin
Then grab him by his thinning but greasy hair
And smash his head into a post that's conveniently there
He falls to the ground with a thud
Wets his pants then coughs up blood
I think "Oh my God, have I just killed someone?"
And then look to you and realise you're gone
It just goes to show that these days
The dating pool's full of woke snowflakes
All I wanted was to show you I had balls
Don't blame me when you're next guy's a limp-wristed weasel
The homeless guy then move his head
It turns out he isn't quite dead
He says "you know there will be CCTV footage.
Give me one good reason why I shouldn't press charges."
So the tramp asks me to suck him off
To help him recover from the shock
So I get to work on his pissy trouser snake
And think "well, at least I'm not just another woke snowflake
Just another woke snowflake
Just another woke snowflake

Wiggle Your Hips
03:14
|
|||
Pop music used to be a young person's game
The best of it would scare the old squares away
If you wanted to be famous around the world
You had to appeal to impressionable teenaged girls
Songs like the one about the wet-ass P-word
Are clearly aimed at older male perves
Which makes sense 'cause they're the ones with money to spend
And fantasise about getting girls on their bell-end
Modern pop songs
Say show me your thong
And shake your butt and wiggle your hips
And shake your butt and jiggle your tits
And let strange men leer until
You turn twenty-five and you're over the hill
They're the kinds of songs that get the party started
And corner the low-budget wedding market
By hiding their creepiness and sexism
Behind lots of totally unsubtle euphemisms
Like feed the oyster and bring the whale to the coast
Slime and banana and have a lust and thrust roast
Park the meat bus in the fishy space
Take a trip to pound town to open the lady garden gates
And the lyrics will force you
And the song will coerce you
To shake your butt and wiggle your hips
And shake your butt and jiggle your tits
And blow some old guy a kiss
Even though he looks like he smells like piss
Oh my gosh look at her butt
Oh my gosh look at her butt
Don't want know short-dick man
I'm too sexy, too sexy for Japan
And shake your butt and wiggle your hips
And shake your butt and jiggle your tits x4

Shut up and Sing
04:23
|
|||
George Michael once sang put your tiny hand in mine
The song 'My Sharona' mentions the touch of the younger kind
Neil Diamond's 'Girl You'll Be a Woman Soon'
Is clearly about some bloke's attempt to groom
In 'Tonight's the Night' Rod Stewart asks his virgin child
To spread her wings and let her inhibitions run wild
Ted Nugent and Motorhead both have songs called jailbait
Rock 'n' roll
Is a rapey old place
I think we'd all prefer if they'd stop behaving like perves
And shut up and sing
Shut up and sing
Stop acting like you're some kind of paedophile ring
And shut up and sing
The Spice Girls thought they were setting young girls free
By jiggling their tits on national TV
Bono thinks he knows how to buy the whole world lunch
Pop stars are a delusional bunch
Wouldn't it be ever so nice if they'd all just stop talking shite
And shut up and sing
Shut up and sing
Leave the talking to people who know anything
And shut up and sing
The songs you admired the most when you were a kid
All turned out to be sleazy, ignorant or bigoted
'Some Girls' by The Rolling Stones categorises groupies by race
And UB40 is the musical equivalent of black face
Eminem saw fit to perform with vomit on his sweater
And the less said about Eric Clapton the better
So shut up and sing
Shut up and sing
Take some advice from WB Yeats
We have no gift to set a statesman straight
But most of all please remember one thing
The whole world's tired of songs about noncing
So shut up and sing

Conscious Uncoupling
05:50
|
|||
Your silent face is telling me it's time to consciously uncouple
Pretty soon you'll be dressing for dates and shaving your crotch to stubble
From your lips I've tasted Heaven and Hell
And I'm used to your textures and smells
So let's be ethical breaker-uppers
And have one last sexual supper
A first date's like a job interview a last is like a leaving party
With sex in all its unhygienic, embarrassing beauty
Like how unhooking a bra
Is a tiresome vibe-killer
And don't get me started on
How condoms affect hard-ons
And the ridiculous flavours of condoms
And when you ask "what's this one?"
And I say, I haven't got one on
And you say you thought it was cheese and onion
Just like life sex is often full of toil and graft
And just like life, sex is usually over much too fast
Then sometimes the experience drags
Like one of Sting's three-hour tantric shags
And you can't help glancing at the clock
The only solution is to rock
I sense down below that you're probably starting to burn
So I'll speed up the journey to the point of no return
And since we're having a blast
Why not let me spank your ass
It'll assuage your guilt about being straight, white and middle-class
One night I might get drunk and call and ask to come over
Like some kind of involuntary celibate Casanova
There's no denying we've had some bliss
So here's to one more kiss
It'll give me incentive to one day find the clitoris
I think we've found desire always dies when it tries to be love
So let's forget for now about the fighting and painful stuff
We've raked over so much dirt
And the breakup'll continue to hurt
I'll try not to give you a facial as I squirt
Thanks for that it fixed my heart like a temporary glue gun
Who knows how long it'll be till either of us gets some
This'll occupy pride of place in my memory banks
Until the day God willing, I become a dirty old man
What do you know, we've stayed awake and talked the whole night through
God knows I'll keep stubbing my toes on memories of you
I'm pleased to say it wasn't weird or shit or unnecessarily long
In other words I'm saying, it wasn't like this song

Believe
04:48
|
|||
If you've been paying attention
You'll know the world's going in a bad direction
Boneheaded books about positive psychology
Are just about the only growth industry
Some say the world will be a better place
If you just learn to smile more and look happy
If you're like me
This'll make you feel
Not so much annoyed as violently stabby
Still I believe
I believe
I believe
The inspirational quotes that are shoved down your throat by singers and mediocre authors
Might not necessarily just be vacuous lies
And the stains you see on public toilet walls are messages from aliens
Saying it's gonna be alright
Everywhere I see nauseatingly happy couples with pet names for each other
Who think it's cute when their partner snores
The kinds of people who encourage each other at the gym, play boardgames together
And don't even need a lock for the bathroom door
When they look at me they tilt their heads and frown
And say not to worry. There's someone out there for me
And I believe that beyond the sea, behind a waterfall in a forgotten forest
I'll finally find a place to have a wank in peace
Believe
Believe
Believe
That all the flirts that you didn't quite score
Will come back and give you one chance more
Your sexual dreams will all come to pass
Because thankfully you're an unimaginative ass
And all your enemies will get their comeuppance
Just as you're achieving penetration of the tuppence
And that couple with a happy, sickly smile
Will have a mishap during a sixty-nine
I Believe
Believe
And that's why they won't publish a self-help book by me

Glorious Times
04:11
|
|||
We're living in glorious times
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise
If you know your history you'll find the past is a foreign country
And one in which you were much more likely to die violently
The grass beneath our feet contains The Somme and Waterloo
Gettysburg and Stalingrad, and Auschwitz too
But now death falls from the sky like snowdrops
Because of new weapons of war
It'll land on us without pain
While we're playing violent video games
Or watching violent porn
We're living in a glorious age
Believe everything that your overlords say
I'd love to be a prophet shouting angry poetry
About the evils of our society
But being a mindless corporate zombie isn't bad as some people say
Nestle may break the law
Amazon does shaft the poor
BP spills into the oceans
McDonald's kills our animal cousins
But isn't tweeting about it great
We're living in a glorious age
Ignore everything environmentalists say
They say the media distracts us with meaningless tripe
Like Kanye West and his messy love life
But it's anything but trivial when you think about it
Just look at how hard he tries
To re-enter an arse that's the size
Of a slave ship
We're living in glorious times
We're living in glorious times
We're living in glorious times
We're living in glorious times

The Night You Find Love
04:48
|
|||
When young it's normal to be painfully shy
Stuck home alone on a Saturday night
All you are's a hungry heart
Meanwhile life's a party for your cooler counterparts
Wild times are waiting for you out there
Life won't be so tame forever I swear
The highlight of your entire life
Will be the night you realise
You realise
You realise
Parties are really shit
When you think about it
Unless you like puke and noise pollution
And finding your drink has a used cigarette in it
You end up dancing like a twat
Till you pass out on the mat
And someone nicks your watch
And steps on your crotch
And you wake up looking just like a confused cat
Sometimes love seems a distant dream
You can't wait to make some memories
Yearning for that strobe-lit kiss
When everything becomes a burning mist
When you succeed
You'll probably see
Dance-floors are the seventh circle of Hell
You'll learn this well
A hive of perves
With billions of germs
And that doesn't even mention the smell
What a stupid place to find love?
Or someone good enough
You'll never find the one being pinched in the bum
The best you can hope for is to be ****ed off
The night you find true love
Probably won't be great but it should be good enough
You'll find someone who you can just about tolerate
With their own unique range
Of annoyingly quirky traits
And you'll repress each other in a socially appropriate way
For much of your lives together
You'll fantasise about not being together
You'll become a pair of nonentities
Shorn of sexual identity
One day you'll suddenly
Find it's your tenth anniversary
And you'll remember a truth that's older than the sea
Parties really are the worst
Things on the Earth
You'll see young people dance
Think they don't have a chance
But somehow some of them just about make it work
That people ever hook up this way
Is actually great
It goes to show us
That people are tough
They somehow survive
The most horrible climes
And eventually succeed
At spreading their seed
It bodes well for the future of the human race
The human race
Is here to stay
The human race
Is here to stay

Empty Your Mind (Part 2)
04:00
|
|||
Sometimes I feel I'm gonna cry
How does one survive these times?
When originality is a mortal sin
And creativity's career-threatening
Someday I might get a break
And achieve fortune and fame
I'd be an insufferable sex pest
Who evades taxes
In other words I won't change a bit
Sometimes a song
Sometimes a song
Can empty your mind
In a positive way
And make the whole world
Drift away
Pop when it's done right
Pop when it's done right
Is transcendentally trite
Is transcendentally trite
Music's meant to drive us mental
But don't go calling us sentimental
Sentimental means exaggerated feeling
And you can't exaggerate this feeling now
It's time to embrace
All the clichés
And empty your mind
Lay down to the void
Get up and dance
And ignore the killjoys
The world's full of killjoys
The world's full of killjoys
So drown them out with some noise
So drown them out with some noise
