Here in the city the birds don't ever sing
Start the day to the fire engine ring.
No more seep the moon's not here to play
Look outside it's another, sunny day
Open the window I need some air to breathe
The City smog just makes me want to sneeze
I take a walk and try to get away
No escape on a sunny, sunny day
The street are teeming, so I ask the rain to come, wash away the sun, let it go.
And in the park the grass has turned to dust
My heart would melt if I stuck around too much
Going home I feel so high and dry
Paper plane in a stormy, stormy sky
And in the night a City tries to sleep
The sun has gone but I still feel the heat
I try to dream but even as I lay
Coming round is another, sunny day

Carry On Christmas

The Bishop's coming now he’s made the choirboys sing
The time of year when he lets them kiss his ring (X)
Park your bum Matron, your cheeks are all aglow
My nuts are roasting pop one in and then swallow
Carry on Christmas, it’s a Christmas Carry On
Sid James in heaven, pulling crackers all night long…
Pluck my bird Bishop, needs stuffing with some meat
It’s a lengthy sausage you can slip it in a treat (*!#)
Breast or thigh Vicar? Or a juicy leg between?
Feel these melons (!@$*#) they’ll be lovely splashed with cream
Carry on Xmas it’s a Xmas Carry On
Sid James in heaven pulling crackers all night long
Carry on Xmas, it’s a Xmas Carry On
Sid James in heaven, sacks
are bulging, nights are long
The Bishop’s present you can stuff it in your pipe
A rough hard shag ‘cos you know that’s what he likes.
Matron’s going it’s been festive fun for all
Get your head down til the morning cock does call
Carry on Xmas it’s a Xmas Carry On
Sid James in heaven pulling crackers all night long
Carry on Xmas, it’s a Xmas Carry On
Sid James in heaven, sacks are bulging, nights are long

Generations have come, some have come and gone but this one's no longer needed no more.
Battered bruised undone, they'll be all unsung, they're rotten,rancid, to the core.
There's a skin so smooth, sweet and creamy white, flesh to touch and be shared.
Pair her off with our Lord, oh you know I'm right, the Handmaid's Blush must be spared.
They boast roots in our land, they can't flourish here, the boats need filling before I return.
The young and the strong are all good for building, the old and the dead ones, must be burned.
