lyrics

Stop the big fat babies

Stop the big fat babies ringing all the changes
Heading for the mainland rowing two by two
Forget all they told you, they can bend and fold you
They can knock you out with a mother’s union jack

They want home, they want house, they want everything that’s ours
They’ve adopted our identities and lifetimes
They compete, they contend & in case we want revenge
they’ve been filing down our fingernails at nightime.

They are out to beat us, they know centimetres
with their balanced ego, swagger in their stride
I propose reaction, drop in every sanction
make ‘em realise we never had so good

Spot the big fat babies swimming in the gravy
Breaking on the coastline heading for the scene
They can have the mainland, I just want an island
I can colonise it with a head of steam.
