Empty My Head
02:12
|

Blah blah everyday / move those people far away
Even the quiets loud / surrounded like a massive crowd
Empty - I just want to empty - my head yeah
Life gets seedier / suck on social media
Hang on every word / why is every message blurred
Empty - I just want to empty - my head yeah
Chorus
Just some peace and quiet - but all I hear is a riot
Social media noise / made specially for you girls and boys
Influencers paid / reputations fade
Misinformation crime / getting to us all the time
Empty - I just want to empty - my head yeah
Chorus
Hey, hey what’s that sound - everybody knows what’s going down
My head yeah, my head yeah, my head yeah

Day-Trip to Mars
03:17
|
|||
So the space junk is floating by - of course the seas look almost dry
And the forests are burning bright
As we exit the atmosphere - my birthday treat is here
Weightless and served with wine, it’s so divine, where do we draw the line?
Chorus
Mars - stopping at all the bars - speeding amongst the stars - we're on our day-trip to Mars
I’m so lucky to be up here - indulging my greatest fear
And we’re leaving you all behind.
Yes the hedonists wave goodbye - while the hungry beneath us cry
And the bombing repeats below, to Mars we go, yes, its a real show
Chorus

21st Century Exposé
02:49
|

It’s the same old story
All love and glory
It’s the never not knowing
The coming and going
What a drag / like in a soap star mag
You wear your heart on your sleeve
Your soul in the gutter
The prettiest hearts you melt like butter
What a wag / got it in the bag
Chorus
The smile on your face / looks out of place
You’d like to think that all of this should matter
Help I’m so afraid / of the selfish plans you’ve made
Maybe we should have a knit and a natter....
You’re a 21st Century Exposé
So you’re changing your name / just chasing fame
Lots of Glam / go easy man
On the paint - like you’re a Warhol Saint
Chorus

Glam Rock Star (Tribute)

24/7 on Dandy’s Dive
The coolest, Glam-est Juke box jive
Scott, The Voltz and Creem play inside
rock me, roll me
Wham and a Bam and a thank you mam
Suzi Q can Can the Can
I’m your toy - 20th Century boy - rock me, roll me
Chorus
I dreamt I was the greatest Glam Rock Star
Stage right of Ronno playing 12 string guitar
Strutting on the cover of Electric Warrior
I dreamt I was the greatest Glam Rock Star
Fix my teeth and straighten my nose
Carnaby street for my glitter clothes
White heat gets me down to my toes
Virginia Plain said ‘What’s your name?’
Mystery City’s on my dial again
Queen of the scene was Judy Teen - rock me, Harley
Chorus
I dreamt I was the greatest Glam Rock Star
Stage left of Bowie playing Ronno’s guitar
Chauffeur to Amanda with her tethered jaguar
I dreamt I was the greatest Glam Rock Star
Chorus
I dreamt I was the greatest Glam Rock Star
Calling all the young dudes with Ian Hunter
Singing all the harmonies on Blockbuster
I dreamt I was the greatest Glam Rock Star

Hold onto your heroes
Stamp them to your mind
How can we be so blind? - when we can see
We’re desperate to meet them
Afraid of what we’ll find
So honestly unkind till we despair, there’s nothing’s there, as if they care,as if they care.......
Chorus
No show, no go Second Date
There’s no encore, screams for more to celebrate
It’s a no show, no go Second Date
It’s a no show, no go, endless wait
Love your heroes
Place them in your heart
Make sure you're never apart - you never leave
Beware the false messiahs
Whose sound comes round and round
Drives you underground till you have found - there's nothing there, as if they care, as if they care
Chorus
I've loved all my heroes
And I've placed them in my heart
I've made sure we're never apart - that we never leave
Sold out on your money
Take from them their tat
Oh just fancy that they’ve upped and gone, I’m all alone, just stuck at home, still an unknown...........
Chorus

Singers dropping lyrics on the floor
The dancers enter from the exit door
Each musician plays a different score - they play me…… play me
Where there’s silence in this mixed up world
When the flag of different colours is unfurled
And away the rocks of prejudice are hurled
Play me - play me
Laying back in our memories
Are the film shows of the past
Full of tears and floods of fear
I’ll help you persevere
Where the future feels so very blurred
When you’re struggling to be heard
If you want to say something but can’t find the words
play me……play me.....just play me
