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?

They Reap (EP remix)

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

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
