Big Audio Dynamite Tribute EP

Stone Thames

Heard the news about the scare in the underwear
Population's getting thin, forget the bomb, its carnal sin
Marriage up, divorce is down, no one wants to fuck around
Save the rose, reject romance, Mickey Mouse don't drop his pants
Now to sexual relations better take a wife now that sex is death, better lead a boring life
No time for social kissing, you'll hardly raise a smile
When you think what you'll be missing, iron undies back in style
Now where did it start and where will it end?
Be nice to the wife, can't trust your friends
Masculine natural nowadays can offend
Never gonna fall in love again

Seems like only yesterday, cocaine and ecstasy
Run around and jump on anything you see
A marriage of convenience, saw a doctor went abroad
Saved up a few pennies, ran the wheelchair down to Lourdes
Now handsome is as handsome does and I did it everywhere
Before the current era I didn't have a care
Bloodstream destination, megavitamin therapy
Artificial insemination, D.I.Y. vasectomy
Spaceman, junk food Dallas, the 20th century
Two World Wars, a Great Depression, this must be Germ War III
Now where did it start and where will it end?
Be nice to the wife, can't trust your friends
Masculine natural nowadays can offend
Never gonna fall in love again

No need for alimony because no one wants to split
Leisure times a gamble, but jogging keeps you fit
Now I packed my bags for China, join the yellow race
Nostradamus had a theory, they're inheriting the place
Blamed it on the Haliens, C.I.A, and KGB
A.R.C. light a shining down on monogamy
New date really hard, promiscue change your views
Unless you got a health card, take a tip from Howard Hughes
Trocadero transfer, I-Beam closet scene
Cat and mouse with the press, exposé celebrity
Now where did it start and where will it end?
Be nice to the wife, can't trust your friends
Masculine natural nowadays can offend
Never gonna fall in love again

The tramp of time continues, en masse to wedding bells
But they haven't made no breakthrough to helper T. white cells
Wholesale Hyper wipe out, technology against the pest
Put away those etchings, sorry baby no contest
Notches and phone numbers, collection flesh as pelts
Stealing cancers thunder, blows below the belt
Don't it make you wonder about how the cards are dealt holy cow
Now where did it start and where will it end?
Be nice to the wife, can't trust your friends
Masculine natural nowadays can offend
Never gonna fall in love again

E=MC²

Somebody I never met but in a way I know
Didn't think that you could get so much from a picture show
Man dies first reel people ask what's the deal?
This ain't how it's supposed to be don't like no aborigine
Took a trip in Powis Square pop star dyed his hair
No fans to scream and shout when mobsters came to flush him out
Gangland slaying underground new identity must be found
On the left bank for a while insanity Bohemian style
Ritual ideas relativity only buildings, no people prophecy
Time slide, place to hide, nudge reality foresight, minds wide, magic imagery

Met a dwarf that was no good dressed like little Red Riding Hood
Bad habit taking life calling card a six-inch knife
Ran off really fast mumbled something about the past
Best sex I've ever seen as if each moment was the last
Drops of blood, colour slide funeral for his bride
But it's him who's really dead gets to take the funeral ride
Ritual ideas relativity only buildings, no people prophecy
Time slide, place to hide, nudge reality foresight, minds wide, magic imagery

Space guy fell from the sky scratched my head and wondered why
Time slides into time across international dateline
Scientist eats bubblegum hall of fame, baseball
Senator's a hoodlum big chiefs in the hall
Ritual ideas relativity only buildings, no people prophecy
Time slide, place to hide, nudge reality foresight, minds wide, magic imagery

Stray thoughts fear to tread placed upon the screen instead
She's my flame too hot to hold had to settle for her cold
Bloodlust, Greek god, gold discovery gone bust, tightwad, slow recovery
Axe job, flame thrower, iron bar and gun betting shop, new owner, a walk in the sun
Ritual ideas relativity only buildings, no people prophecy
Time slide, place to hide, nudge reality foresight, minds wide, magic imagery

Spread the news: the Maestro's back with a beatbox soundtrack
The King of brains Queen of the sack executives have heart attack
It's assault course celluloid the money makers would avoid
Sometimes notions get reversed centre of the universe
Ritual ideas relativity only buildings, no people prophecy
Time slide, place to hide, nudge reality foresight, minds wide, magic imagery

Limbo The Law

Down the Limbo, limbo the law your mama says to tell you, don't come home no more
Since they ain't got no room in the county hole gonna get wild make like rock 'n' roll

Freedom Town or Mariel out the frying pan straight to Hell
In the papers shadows on the screen itchy finger trigger easy teens
Take you off just for fun sweet sixteen magazine and gun
Surfboard on the new crime wave playground street corner and grave
Jungle's jangle, intersection rock the wind could blow these boys off the block
Crosstown junction where the cops don't stop the heavy crew hangs out at the coffee shop
The beats are fresh, they're feeling fine ex-army automatic blasted down the line

Learned to speak from a gangster reel watch 'em murder rob and dope deal
Music makes you wanna shout kicking it live at the carryout
Colombians and ye oh think they got it made chopping 'em out with a chainsaw blade
Go down to Limbo, Limbo the law mama say don't come home no more

Ice cool killers copy what they see welfare chevre lottery fantasy
Uzi nine millimeter speak high tide leaves clean money on the beach
Society needs boys like this liberal minds sleep with ease
When the shooting starts turn a blind eye adios to another bad guy

Union, Jack

Make a stand before you fall your country needs you to play football
Wake up cunt you hear the call
All for one and one for all all for one and one for all
What happened to you men of might
When things were wrong, you made them right
All for one and one for all all for one and one for all

Now in the classroom, well, I was told about the Empire, how you were bold
A pint of beer like passes by your spirits squashed just like a fly
Your spirits squashed just like a fly
Across this green and pleasant land the powers slipping through your hand
All for one and one for all all for one and one for all

Wake up cunt you hear the call your country needs you to play football
Make a stand before you fall all for one and one for all
All for one and one for all
God bless the Queen, her people too God bless this country and see us too
All for one and one for all all for one and one for all

London Bridge

What's a thousand shade of grey a beauty only seen by day
Skateboards thunder by and pigeons fly where I feel ok
London Bridge is falling down they're taking bids from all around give me dollars I don't want pounds
London Bridge is falling down but I still love this town from the Tower to the Underground

Now Rome is Rome but it ain't home and neither is Paris
Wherever I've been and all that I've seen this is home to me
London Bridge is falling down they're taking bids from all around give me dollars I don't want pounds
London Bridge is falling down but I still love this town from the Tower to the Underground

I like it when sometimes you see how things used to be
Music hall bless them all those Ealing comedies
London Bridge is falling down they're taking bids from all around give me dollars I don't want pounds
London Bridge is falling down but I still love this town from the Tower to the Underground

All Mink No Manners/Harrow Road

Mink coats and no manners
Mink coats and no manners

I saw Elvis washing clothes in the launderette by the grove
Washing powder on his nose, down the Harrow Road
He was talking about a song had it all but got it wrong
Now he wants to join the band and play along
There's so many stories being told, down Harrow Road
Since you were young until you are old, down Harrow Road

There's this bloke who thinks he's handy selling globes and homemade brandy
He comes all the way from Bendy down to Harrow Road
You see over the cemetery wall from the bridge, about to fall
Don't let them work in overnight their men will finish it off
There's so many stories being told, down Harrow Road
Since you were young until you are old, down Harrow Road

Now here comes your brand new sensation so all you DOUBLE U's get to your battle stations
So nobody try to put I on probation because this one is coming to all the nation. Do it
There's so many stories being told, down Harrow Road
Since you were young until you are old, down Harrow Road
