How are you hung? Are you from round here, or somewhere far-flung? Are you my age or older - are you quite young? Pierced in your eyebrow, belly, is it your tongue? How many scars do you bear? Pretending to like people Social success Do you think my hair is all right? Do you like men about my height? Are you drunk? Would you like a light? Do you come here every Friday night? Pretending to like people Social success Give me your name Eye glazed at the window stand in the rain Bite on my hand give me a DNA stain Tattoo my face on your shoulder welcome the pain I’ll give you a thousand yard stare Pretending to like people Social success Pretending to like people Not to excess What are your dreams? Do you believe in god and his oddball schemes? Are all of us equal - or is that just in memes? Shatter a glass with a scream - dear heart How can I tell everybody apart? Pretending to like people Social success Pretending to like people Not to excess Social success A will to impress…. How are you hung?

Take affordable homes constructed by the state Sell them to the tenants at a cut price rate When the tenants move on the market rolls the dice No-one but a Tory can afford the market price The wealthy buy the houses, they’re private-rented now The children of the tenants are a great cash cow You’re earning 30 thousand? - pay them 15 grand a year If you’re barely getting by there’s a food-bank near Utterly predictable They reap, you sow Take a service for the public that’s offered by the state Sell it to the public at a cut price rate The big investors move in, the market rolls the dice Hoover up more shares they can afford the price The wealthy own the service, it’s run for profit now The public are the customers - a great cash cow Shareholders earn millions, a bonus every year And when they shut the service nobody really cares New election, chance to vote for change The storytellers tell us the alternative’s deranged Buy into their papers, their television views Cast your votes as usual it’s not really news They reap you sow

Body (demo) 02:21
This is me I am a body I don’t have a body I am a body That feels wrong to me, he says, I’ve been studying hard Something in a book I read Dictated by a lord Fuck off I am a head I don’t have a head I am a head That feels wrong to me, he says, I’ve been studying harder still Something in a book I read Dictated by the lord Well, I am a brain I don’t have a brain I am a brain That feels wrong This book told me what god’s intention is As narrated by tribesmen in past centuries So ahistorical must be reliable Step into the light keep your knees pliable You don’t need that rational thought It’s dangerous

about

We had a song about council house sales and the profiteering of the rich to record, and decided to put it out as a single as part of the Musicians Against Homelessness campaign for 2018. Booked a day at Whitehouse Studios in Reading to do that, and took the chance to record a couple of other songs, one still a work in progress.
