They leave that role for the poor, yeah Time will tell on their power minds, Making war just for fun Treating people just like pawns in chess, Wait 'till their judgement day comes, yeah Now in darkness world stops turning, Ashes where the bodies burning No more War Pigs have the power, Hand of God has struck the hour Day of judgement, God is calling On their knees the war pigs crawling, Begging mercies for their sins Satan, laughing, spreads his wings Oh Lord yeah 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have won Peter Gabriel: "The lyrics for 'The Knife' were partly me being a public schoolboy rebelling against my background. I'd been heavily influenced by a book on Gandhi at school, and I think that was a part of the reason I became a vegetarian as well as coming to believe in non-violence, as a form of protest. And I wanted to try and show how all violent revolutions inevitably end up with a dictator in power." sounds very familiar.. With the fake news climate... And the ones who want to hold on to power... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each has got its load of convertible bars, cutlery cars - superscars! For today is the day when they sort it out, sort it out, 'cause they disagree on a gangland boundary. Yes, they disagree on a gangland boundary. There's Willy Wright and his boys - One helluva noise, that's Billy's boys! With fully-fashioned mugs, that's Little John's thugs, The Barking Slugs - supersmugs! For today is the day when they sort it out, sort it out, These Christian soldiers fight to protect the poor. East end heroes got to score in... The Battle of Epping Forest, It's the Battle of Epping Forest, Right outside your door. You ain't seen nothing like it. No, you ain't seen nothing like it, Not since the Civil War. Coming over the hill are the boys of Bill, And Johnny's lads stand very still. With the thumpire's shout, they all start to clout - there's no guns in this gentleman's bout. Georgie moves in on the outside left With a chain flying round his head; And Harold Demure, from Art Literature, Nips up the nearest tree. (Here come the cavalry!) Admidst the battle roar, Accountants keep the score: 10-4. They've never been alone, after getting a radiophone. The bluebells are ringing for Sweetmeal Sam, real ham, Handing out bread and jam just like any picnic. It's 5-4 on William Wright; he made his pile on Derby night. When Billy was a kid, walking the streets, The other kids hid - so they did! Now, after working hard in security trade, he's got it made. The shops that need aid are those that haven't paid. "I do my double-show quick!" said Mick the Prick, fresh out the nick. "I sell cheap holiday. The minute they leave, Then a visit I pay - and does it pay!" And his friend, Liquid Len by name, Of Wine, Women and Wandsworth fame, Said "I'm breaking the legs of the bastard that got me framded!" They called me the Reverend when I entered the Church unstained; My employers have changed but the name has remained. It all began when I went on a tour, Hoping to find some furniture. I followed a sign - it said "Beautiful Chest". It led to a lady who showed me her best. She was taken by surprise when I quickly closed my eyes. So she rang the bell, and quick as hell Bob the Nob came out on his job To see what the trouble was. "Louise, is the Reverend hard to please?" "You're telling me!" "Perhaps, sir, if it's not too late. We could interest you in our Staffordshire plate?" "Oh no, not me, I'm a man of repute." But the Devil caught hold of my soul and a voice called out "Shoot!" To save my steeple, I visited people; For this I'd gone when I met Little John. His name came, I understood, When the judge said "You're a robbing hood." He told me of his strange foundation, Conceived on sight of the Woodstock nation; He'd had to hide his reputation. When poor, 'twas salvation from door to door. But now, with a pin-up guru every week, It's Love, Peace & Truth Incorporated for all who seek. He employed me as a karmacanic, with overall charms. His hands were then fit to receive, receive alms. That's why we're in The Battle of Epping Forest, It's the Battle of Epping Forest, Right outside your door. We guard your souls for peanuts, And we guard your shops and houses For just a little more. In with a left hook is the Bethnal Green Butcher, But he's countered on the right by Mick's chain-gang fight, And Liquid Len, with his smashed bottle men, Is lobbing Bob the Nob across the gob. With his kissar in a mess, Bob seems under stress, But Jones the Jug hits Len right in the mug; And Harold Demure, who's still not quite sure, Fires acorns from out of his sling. (Here come the cavalry!) Up, up above the crowd, Inside their Silver Cloud, done proud, The bold and brazen brass, seen darkly through the glass. The butler's got jam on his Rolls; Roy doles out the lot, With tea from a silver pot just like any picnic. Along the Forest Road, it's the end of the day And the Clouds roll away. Each has got its load - they'll come out for the count At the break-in of day. When the limos return for their final review, it's all through' - all they can see is the morning goo. "There's no-one left alive - must be draw." So the Blackcap Barons toss a coin to settle the score Get 'em out by Friday You don't get paid 'til the last one's well on his way Get 'em out by Friday It's important that we keep to schedule, there must be no delay I represent a firm of gentlemen who recently purchased this House and all the others in the road In the interest of humanity we've found a better place for you To go, go-woh, go-woh Oh no, this I can't believe Oh Mary, they're asking us to leave Get 'em out by Friday I've told you before, 's good many gone if we let them stay And if it isn't easy You can squeeze a little grease and our troubles will soon run away After all this time, they ask us to leave And I told them we could pay double the rent I don't know why it seemed so funny Seeing as how they'd take more money The Winkler called again, he came here this morning With four hundred pounds and a photograph of the place he has found A block of flats with central heating I think we're going to find it hard Now we've got them I've always said that cash cash cash can do anything well Work can be rewarding When a flash of intuition is a gift that helps you excel-sell-sell-sell Here we are in Harlow New Town Did you recognize your block across the square, over there Sadly since last time we spoke We've found we've had to raise the rent again Just a bit Oh no, this I can't believe Oh Mary, and we agreed to leave This is an announcement from Genetic Control It is my sad duty to inform you of a four foot restriction on Humanoid height I hear the directors of Genetic Control have been buying all the Properties that have recently been sold, taking risks oh so bold It's said now that people will be shorter in height They can fit twice as many in the same building site They say it's alright Beginning with the tenants of the town of Harlow In the interest of humanity, they've been told they must go Told they must go-go-go-go I think I've fixed a new deal A dozen properties, we'll buy at five and sell at thirty four Some are still inhabited It's time to send the Winkler to see them He'll have to work some more With land in your hand, you'll be happy on earth Then invest in the Church for your heaven Echoes of the Broadway Everglades, With her mythical madonnas still walking in their shades: Lenny Bruce, declares a truce and plays his other hand. Marshall McLuhan, casual viewin', head buried in the sand. Sirens on the rooftops wailing, but there's no ship sailing. Groucho, with his movies trailing, stands alone with his punchline failing. Klu Klux Klan serve hot soul food and the band plays 'In the Mood' The cheerleader waves her cyanide wand, there's a smell of Peach blossom and bitter almonde. Caryl Chessman sniffs the air and leads the parade, he know in a scent, You can bottle all you made. There's Howard Hughes in blue suede shoes, smiling at the majorettes Smoking Winston Cigarettes. And as the song and dance begins, the children play at home With needles; needles and pins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1290 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Jam night last night? Sheesh... The guys quit about 11ish, which was great actually. Drummer had to leave then the bass player pretty much followed suit since there weren't any drummers in the house, which was fine with me. The crazies WERE out in full force. Guitar kid stepped in w/the guys then his buddy jumped on the keyboard. The guys just played on with 'em. I'm sittin there w/my diet Pepsi's and their wives just hangin and outta know where some kid comes running up to me and says, "Don't ya think we need that organ louder? Hey Andy, turn it up!" I was like whatever and we all just sat there looking stoooopid. Then the Pat Benetar came in outta no where wearing her baseball hat and jumped in w/the vocals on a couple songs. Kinda hit the high notes but as long as she was happy. It got even better as Gary was packin up his strat some kid was talking to him non stop. Gary looked over at me and kinda grinned then he points over to me and smiled. Rut Roh. Here comes the kid who has 7 r2r's and wants to sell some of the stuff he has. I'm listening and Gary is laffin watchin. Told him if he had a Revox I might be interested but he said he DID have two Leslies in his basement and a white on black key Hammnd but they were old. By then I felt just like you guys do reading all of this BS I'm typing. Moral of the story? A worm full moon on the 9th. Yuuuuuup, THAT explains it! 😂 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your just so much more poignant but I wub ya brother! lol Peace, love, dove! 😂 Unzipped a new one a bit ago and it's left me smiling so far. The Dire Straits "Private Investigations" album was named after their 1982 hit with the same name. Nice sound over all with Mark Knopfler shinin throughout. Songs were comprised from 6 of their studio albums with a previously unreleased track with Mark and Emmylou Harris singing a duet of "All the roadrunning" as the final cut. Great album in all and Knopfler takes ya where he wants you to go throughout it. Good stuff for the ear holes! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
