Gentrification Nation

Gentrification Nation Verse 1 The cities bin given a fresh gloss. Conform to gentry ideals or get lost.Starbucks and apple, American shrapnel, capitalism makes pariahs of the poor. Suited and booted have the businessmen neutered. Building corporate temples, knocking all the venues. Empty vessels gathering all the dosh. Siverspoon Tosspots, Silverspoon Tosspots.
Chorus: Gentrification Nation, it’s the death of the working class. Gentrification nation, these yuppies are so crass. Gentrification nation, it’s the death of the working class. Gentrification nation these yuppies are so crass. Verse 2: The cobblestone streets the gentry distrust. Once filled with characters not corporate rust. Captain’s of a monied ship, on a soulless trip. The Nasdaq rate caused their pupils to dilate. The boom is back it took the futures of so many. Self-expression must not be buried. Are you real or A.I.? Speak up or programme lies. Create to breathe create to survive. The matrix is repeating, screen save history, the matrix is repeating screen save history.
Chorus: Gentrification nation, it’s the death of the working class. Gentrification nation these yuppies are so crass. Gentrification Nation, it’s the death of the working class. Gentrification Nation, these yuppies are so crass… Outro: Make art to fight the misery. Make art to fight the misery…

Zoo

Zoo Verse 1: I’m a blank canvas for your aggression take it out on me til you feel better. This world is a zoo bid negativity adieu. We’re all in cages, technological mazes. Animals caged in countries, metaphysical gombeens. Tuned into static and interference far right jackals and racist hyenas. Suffocated straight from the womb, the innocence of youth. The commoners grovel two by two like banshees keening for humanity. Betrayed like Jesus in Gethsemane. Crying out two by two wounded animals in this zoo. Crying out two by two wounded animals in this zoo. Chorus: Two by two we go to the zoo. Two by two we go to the zoo. Two by two we go to the zoo. Two by two we go to the zoo… Verse 2: Locked up for your entertainment, twenty four hour surveillance. Let love be reborn so the meek may seek to mourn the barbaric acts of war. We went to the zoo I gave a scathing review. How can you lock us up for this public cartoon. All god’s creatures cha cha ching. All the hate preachers cha ching cha ching. All the meat eaters cha ching cha ching. All the cool vegans cha ching cha ching. We all pay the price quit your whinging about your worries and your strife. Species dieing out two by two nature is doomed. Species dieing out two by two nature is doomed. Outro: Survival, survival, survival…

Hard Man Feat.TPM

Hard man lyrics: If you're a hard man this is what's going to happen to you because of Post Punk Podge and TPM. We are going to kill all the hard men then we will be the hard men. We're gonna start with Dundalk and then we're gonna move onto Limerick and there's no hard men in Dublin everyone knows that.
Walkin' round town like a crazed maniac. Out of the slammer a week and a half. Sellin' smack to kids oh you're really tough. Crime only pays til you're locked up. Pushin' round a buggy full of benzos. Snortin' all the profit right up your nose. Stabbin' people, robbin' people, beatin' em up. But one day you will realise enough is enough. When you're at a house party and you drop a yoke and the empathy becomes too much. You'll say "Why do I cry myself to sleep at night?" "Why Can't I live a better life?" and here is where the answers lie. You're only hard when You're friends are around. You're only tough when you're families in town. You're only hard when you're friends are around. You're only tough when you're families in town. Coz he's a hard man a hard man a real hard man. Coz he's a hard man a hard man a real hard man.
It is a hard man talk, a hard man gawk. A hard manwalk in the town of Dundalk. A hard man look they go round the gym. Don't ever grin if shows weakness within. Rollin' round the town like a modern John Wayne, don't let those tears fall out of your brain. "Oh all the boys do it so I must do it too. If you don't do it I will batter you." In the Chip shops and nightclubs you's always fight. Did your mammy never teach you how to be polite. Are ya feelin' left out are your guns too small. Do you find it hard sometimes to handle it all.
You're only hard when you're friends are around. You're only tough when you're families in town. You're only hard when you're friends are around you're only tough when you're families in town. Coz he's a hard man a hard man a real. Coz he's a hard man a hard man a real hard man.
A big man a small man an in between man. There are hard men from Dundalk to Japan. Some hard men like to wear hats. They always love dogs they never like cats. There could be a sound man who has a hard man friend. Who's grand durin' the week and he's hard all weekend and with the few drinks he likes to have a knock. So he punches young fellas and gets as stiff as a rock. If You're a hard men and you're thick all the time. Next time you're gettin' hard just think of this rhyme. Bein' tough is not always the right way to be. Bein soft sometimes is good for me.
You're only hard when you're friends are around. You're only tough when you're families in town. You're only hard when you're friends are around you're only tough when you're families in town. Coz he's a hard man a hard man a real hard man. Coz he's a hard man a hard man a real hard man. Coz he's a hard man a hard man a real hard man. Coz he's a hard man a hard man a real hard man.

Only, Love Song
03:32

Only love song Verse 1: She broke up with me in rehab I was strung out on recovery. The dark side of the spoon never discovered me. Twelve steps away from clean living. The thirteenth step is rehab who are you kidding? I taught I found god on a baggie full of powder it amplified my senses a mind-bending chowder. But reality is a dish always served cold. Love is past it’s self by date and stinking out my soul. I don’t love myself, how could I love anyone else? She was graceful and astute. I pranced around aloof, estranged from my one true calling to envelop my creativity in a crown like parcel. A shield of confidence to woo my damsel. Distress I’m a mess, I miss her smile and heavenly scent. Turns out she had slept around I ducked the mocking session crowd. Catch the blood from the torns the Pontius Pilot to my lord. I got higher and higher til I hit dark clouds. The devil’s dandruff took every pound. Unsound heads soon get found out. I loved drugs more than you, you loved drugs more than me. Pour me a glass of pity, pity poor me. I drank myself drier than a desert. The splashing of the bubbles I never cherished. Coming on rejection, double dropping insincerity. Inject me with songs of joyous misery from the Smiths to the Cure they will soothe me. I can take the cruelty, I let you use me. Lusting for love is like drugging for comedowns this is my only love song. Lusting for love is like drugging for comedowns this is my only love song. Chorus: I love the punk I love the post. I love the punk I love the post… I love the post.

Rejection, Again Verse 1. I tried to show her romance. I tried to show her love. I tried to show her heaven exists on this earth but her career’s more important a thousand miles from here. Keep running from your problems I won’t drown in your tears. Chorus: I just wanna love you not be friends. I can’t take the rejection, again. I just wanna love you not be friends. I can’t take the rejection again. I just wanna love you not be friends. I can’t take the rejection again. I just wanna love you not be friends I can’t take the rejection again. Verse 2. The time we spent together was like a Disney scene but you were scared of our love so you smashed up the screen. I hope you’re thinking of me when you forget to take your meds. The winter is long but my mind is infinite. Chorus: I just wanna love you not be friends. I can’t take the rejection, again. I just wanna love you not be friends. I can’t take the rejection again. I just wanna love you not be friends. I can’t take the rejection again. I just wanna love you not be friends I can’t take the rejection again. Outro: She’s in a foreign country, nothin’s changed for me what could have been is missin’ a scene. She’s in a foreign country, nothin’s changed for me what could have been is missin’ a scene.

1984

1984 Verse one: A Freudian slip in our winter of discontent. I’ve said too much and now I’m spent. Alien people speaking in Morse code, text is speech full of spell-checking groans. She tried to psycho analyse, she baked too many mince pies. Therapy took her mind off the numbing void. Best to stay inside, find a good place to hide. Armageddon out of here, there goes another year. Show no fear, listen here. Chorus: Nineteen eighty-four is here forever more, Nineteen eighty four is at your front door. Nineteen eighty-four is here forever more, Nineteen eighty four is at your front door. Nineteen eighty four is here forever more, Nineteen eighty four is at your front door. Nineteen eighty four is here forever more. Verse two: A man of the arts holds the key to fulfilment. Rich on the joy of his achievements. What have you done today? What have you done with the time you’ve bin given? Heaven is a place we must create. A mortal coil, we will turn to soil. In a soylent way we’re using people. Men use women like furniture. The bubble will burst in the ozone layer. The future’s so bright we will burn together. Post modern dystopian bliss, feel it kiss you on the lips. Mother nature is unfulfilled, choking on polluted wind. Science friction, Religious fiction. Blink and you’ll miss one. Think and you’ll pick one, think and you’ll pick one. Think and you’ll pick one Chorus: Nineteen eighty-four is here forever more, Nineteen eighty four is at your front door. Nineteen eighty-four is here forever more, Nineteen eighty four is at your front door. Nineteen eighty four is here forever more, Nineteen eighty four is at your front door. Nineteen eighty four is here forever more. Outro: Dark days of Orwellian lore, Dark days be no more. Dark days of Orwellian lore, dark days be no more. Dark days of Orwellian lore, dark days be no more. Dark days of Orwellian lore, dark days be no more.

Attic Laundry

Attic Laundry Verse 1: The attic laundry was a cellar door to horrific acts of Catholic lore. Pontificate the evil, a woman shamed for a child out of wedlock, members of a banished flock. Impure, be-gotten of the devil all good girls go to heaven. A woman shamed was a woman lost to Catholic guilt, the church flowers wilt and another baby never lived. Mary Magdalene witnessed the crucifixion, these women endured its resurrection. Time and time again, young women treated like dirt. The stains will never come clean. Chemical burns on their skin. A hidden past creates a toxic future. Sutures of evil, sisters so deceitful keeping secrets from the congregation. A life for a life a tooth for a tooth a blind is thrown to the evil they do. A life for a life a tooth for a tooth a blind eye is thrown to the evil they do. Verse 2: What about Tuam, you legion of doom, buried children cut from the womb. Genocidal solution, inhumane conclusion. Confess your wicked deeds to a god who created thee. Down on your knees, vespers for the weak. Empty churches, lost congregations we the people speak for the voiceless. Once all foetus’s unanointed. The pope returned to a fallen empire from a septic palace. For unlawful cardinal knowledge you must be accountable you must acknowledge. Victims deserve more than mere apologies. Chorus: No mercy for them, No mercy for them…

Your name Verse 1: Will they remember me when I’m on my death bed? Is the blood line thick enough? Family never really wanted to know me. Family never really gave a fuck. Will they remember me when I’m on my death bed? Is the blood line thick enough? Family never really wanted to know me. Family never really gave a fuck. Chorus: Your name was mentioned, your name was mentioned. Your name was mentioned, your name was mentioned. Verse 2: Will they remember me when I’m on my death bed? Is the blood line thick enough? Family never really wanted to know me. Family never really gave a fuck. Will they remember me when I’m on my death bed? Is the blood line thick enough? Family never really wanted to know me. Family never really gave a fuck. Chorus: Your name was mentioned, your name was mentioned. Your name was mentioned, your name was mentioned. Outro: Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. Ashes to ashes dust to dust…

Post-Traumatic Stress Destruction Verse 1: He’s a shell-shocked soldier returned from war. She’s a bomb victim who’s house is gone. I’m a foster child from a broken home. We have our pain to overcome. We breathe in, we breathe out. We keep it in we leave it out. We breathe in, we breathe out. We keep it in, we leave it out. Verse 2: This song is for the damaged and afraid. Who suffer trauma everyday. Where there’s life there’s hope. We all must cope, let’s make it through today. Face the anger, face the trauma. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. We breathe in, we breathe out. We keep it in we leave it out. Chorus: Post Traumatic Stress Destruction, Post Traumatic Stress Destruction…

Panic Prevention Verse 1: My heart is tickin’ like a clock. Mouth is dry I’ve had enough. Anxiety creepin’ up on me. I try so hard just to breathe. I feed the fear the reaper brings. It’s time to let go, time to take control. Chorus: It ain’t so bad, no it ain’t so bad. Avoid tension, panic prevention. It ain’t so bad, no it ain’t so bad. Avoid tension, panic prevention. It ain’t so bad, no it ain’t so bad. Avoid tension, panic prevention. It ain’t so bad, no it ain’t so bad. Avoid tension, panic prevention. Verse 2: Season’s change but I stay the same. Autumn’s leaves swept away. Make a change today, it doesn’t have to be this way. Observe the flow of blood to your brain, embrace the fear to fight the pain. Listen to this refrain here it comes again. Chorus: It ain’t so bad, no it ain’t so bad. Avoid tension, panic prevention. It ain’t so bad, no it ain’t so bad. Avoid tension, panic prevention. It ain’t so bad, no it ain’t so bad. Avoid tension, panic prevention. It ain’t so bad, no it ain’t so bad. Avoid tension, panic prevention. Outro: It ain’t so bad, no it ain’t so bad. Avoid tension, panic prevention. It ain’t so bad, no it ain’t so bad. Avoid tension, panic prevention. Avoid tension, Panic prevention.

Euphoric Recall Verse: The party is over and the hangers on long gone. I recall it gladly, I always cherish the taughts. We drank and drugged together but the record is now paused. Do we still have the will to carry on. We never saw god, we taught we’d never come down. We came down. Chrous: Euphoric recall remember where you came from. Euphoric recall remember who you were. Euphoric recall remember where you came from. Euphoric recall remember who you are… Who you are.
