Song Lyrics

01The Girls I Know
(lyrics © Gibson and Gibson)

Jade!
Oh, Jade's so cute in walking boots
Rambling through morning dew
Sharing our news and the views
But Jade's got kids, husband too
Nothing I'd ever do
However close we grow
These are the girls, the girls I know

Wendy!
Wendy calls me late at night
All alone with that 'phone
Drinking in her perfect home
Talks about what's on TV, but TV's not for me
However close we grow
These are girls, the girls I know
And maybe one's been waiting all along?

Natalie!
Natalie and I we have fun when we're on a run, laughing all at sea
But Natalie's just twenty-three
Always a child to me
However close we grow
These are girls, the girls I know
And if you think you're the one for me, then hit me up?
'cause I'd Love to love, to love again
One more trip on that rollercoaster ride when we
Live to love, to love again

Annie!
Annie's always on the ball
When we play our games
Giggling at the shots
But Ann's not made for my travelling van
Never coming overland
However close we grow
These are girls, girls I know
And maybe one's been waiting all alone?

Jane!
Jane and I worked too long
Staying in the office till late
Felt just like a date
But Jane got moved to Manchester
And I never go up there
However close we grow
These are girls, girls I know
And if you think you're the one for me, then hit me up
I'd love to love, to love again
One more trip on that rollercoaster ride when we
Live to love, to love again

I'd love to love, to love again
One more trip on that rollercoaster ride when we
Live to love, to love again
02Apes and Cyborgs
(lyrics © Gibson and Gibson)

Apes and Cyborgs
Evolve and update
Yes, Apes and Cyborgs
That's our fate
And we know that it's so

Ape v Cyborg
It's might versus right
Let's hope Apes and Cyborgs
Never spoil for a fight
If they put on a show
This whole darn place could blow

What if Apes and Cyborgs
We all got along?
Then us Apes and Cyborgs
We could sing this song
Yes you know, you know, it could be so

Apes and Cyborgs
We're Apes and Cyborgs
Tilly Norwood this is not for you
Apes and Cyborgs
Tilly Norwood this is not for you
Tilly Norwood this is not for you
Apes and Cyborgs
Tilly Norwood this is not for you
Apes and Cyborgs
Cyborgs and Apes
03Acting Like the Boss
(lyrics © Gibson and Gibson)

Hoo-Woo-Hoo

I met her when we were just little
Holding hands as we walked home after class
And through our teens we were always lovers
So we settled down, made us a home
With my own hands, down by the lakeside
Build a house we could call our own

Hoo-Woo-Hoo
Hoo-Woo-Hoo

The factory shut down, I took a job constructing roads
And I travelled this land from coast to coast
When I come back Mary was always waiting there
With a kid on each arm, a kiss just for me

Hoo-Woo-Hoo
Hoo-Woo-Hoo

But the New Jersey nights are awful cold and empty
And I took to taking in some company
In my trailer with a red-head name of Louise
We would party right through the night
Oh I should've been thinking of the kids and my wife

Hoo-Woo-Hoo
Hoo-Woo-Hoo

I got a chevvy out back and I keep her gassed up
And we drive out deep into the night
04The Lockdown Blues
(lyrics © Gibson and Gibson)

Sittin' in my kitchen
Starrin' out my window
Looking at a Harley I just can't-ride
'cause mankind ain't allowed outside
Oh she's locked down there
I'm locked up here
There's people locked down most everywhere

Thinking 'bout my baby
Staying with her lady
All over the other side of town
A million miles away
When you can't go around
I'm locked down here
She's locked down there
There's people locked down most everywhere

Wanna all get in the car
Drive over to the bar
Put on some tunes and shoot some pool
Hang out and try to look cool
Wanna get outta here
Drive over to their
Nice ice cold beer

Sittin' in my kitchen
Starrin' out my window
Looking at a Harley I just can't a-ride
'cause mankind ain't allowed outside
Oh she's locked down there
I'm locked up here
There's people locked down most everywhere
05The Tide Comes In
(lyrics © Gibson and Gibson)

Oh the tide comes in
My heart springs up
Maybe love is on it's way
And then I sit back down
The tide goes out
Gonna wait me one more day

Oh the tide comes in
One more time
It's flooding back to me
But then my life ebbs back
Hope runs out
This ain't never gonna be
Cause every shitty thing that comes is headed straight to me
And though I've made my peace with me
Peace still won't set me free
06Dances in My Dreams
(lyrics © Gibson and Gibson)

The road again
Riding hard again
Pushing on through the night

On my own again
That road again
Driving in the moonlight

But then you... you're there
In my dreams, you come, you go

And she dances in to my dreams
The girl with the liquid feet
Dances in my dreams
She grooves to a different beat
She grooves to a different beat

It's morning now
The sun is up
The dawn has come
And there's nothing here
On my own again
Looking hard for something
That's not there

But then you ... you're there
In my mind, you come, you go

And she dances in to my dreams
The girl with the liquid feet
Dances in my dreams
She grooves to a different beat
She grooves to a different beat

The little things that come our way
They don't change
And other things, come and go away
And some things won't be where they were
Time goes by and you don't know where it goes

Dancing in my dreams
Dancing in my dreams
Dancing in my dreams
Dancing in my dreams

She dances in my dreams
07What Is Her Name
(lyrics © Gibson and Gibson)

The girl with no name
Messes up my brain
Drives me insane

She's here again
On the weekend
I want her name

There is no god
In our anti-theist song
Let's all sing-a-long
Let's all sing-a-long

No name
No name
No name
No name
NO NAME

No name
No name
No name
No name
I N S A N E

There is no god
In our anti-theist song
Let's all sing-a-long
Let's all sing-a-long

There is no god
In our anti-theist song
Let's all sing-a-long
Let's all sing-a-long
08Get Me Outta Here
(lyrics © Gibson and Gibson)

Why don't ya get me, get me
Why don't ya get me outta here?
Get me
Why don't ya get me outta here?

Sent to a foreign 'pen'
The maximum security state
Never citizens again
We need to escape

Why don't ya get me, get me
Why don't ya get me outta here?

A maximum security state
To which none of us do relate

Why don't ya get me, get me
Why don't ya get me outta here?
09What Are They Doing to the Sea
(lyrics © Gibson and Gibson)

The Sea
What are they doing to the sea?
And what's the sea doing to me?

The environment agency has disclosed
Annual data now shows
Four hundred sixty-four thousand
Untreated spills in a year and
Three point six million hours
When raw sewage discharged in showers

The government says it's:

Rain?

Poo, Poo-ah, oh
Poo, Poo-ah

The shit flows down the pipe
The pipe goes out to sea
But the sea's not where that shit should be

The shit flows down the pipe
The pipe goes out to sea
But the sea's not where that shit should be

On the subject of the sea
The International Organization for Migration
Has called for safe, legal routes to our nation
Then these drownings could cease

We took control of our coasts
So now let's be good hosts
To our guests who try to cross in small boats
They need us the most
Poo, Poo-ah, oh
Poo, Poo-ah

The shit flows down the pipe
The pipe goes out to sea
But the sea's not where that shit should be

The shit flows down the pipe
The pipe goes out to sea
But the sea's not where that shit should be

The shit flows down the pipe
The pipe goes out to sea
But the sea's not where that shit should be

(Splosh!)
10Christmas Spirits
(lyrics © Gibson and Gibson)

It's about that time of year
Santa's playing all over town
There's reindeer out in the park

It's about that time of year
The shops are full of all the Christmas crap
You don't want it! You just wrap it up
And give it away

About that time of year
I've had it up to here -
Won't you believe me - Here it comes!

I hate Christmas
I hate the parties, I hate mulled wine
I hate Christmas-time back here
I hate Christmas
I hate the shopping I hate the wrapping and
I hate Christmas every year

The Spirits came to visit
From a Christmas past, a fine old brandy
And this years present of JD
But I saw the future in the gin
Too bleak to take it neat

Hey! Put some sloes in the gin
Then next year it'll be sweet, pink and rosy
And may your Christmas be loving, white and cosy

Humbug! Humbug! Humbug!

Yes! It's that time of year
Santa's here!

Humbug!

Please Daddy, no! You love it really!
It's that time of year. Come on!
Please Daddy, please, it's Christmas!

OK! I give in!

Oh I love Christmas
I love the parties, love the wine and
I love Christmas every year

I love Christmas
I love the giving, love the getting and
I love Christmas now it's here

Sing it!

We all love Christmas
We love the parties we love the wine
We love Christmas time back here

One more time

We all love Christmas
We love the parties we love the wine
We all love Christmas time
