Morrissey Tribute EP


Everyday Is Like Sunday

Trudging slowly over wet sand back to the bench where your clothes were stolen
This is the coastal town That they forgot to close down
Armageddon come, Armageddon! Come, Armageddon! Come!
Everyday is like Sunday everyday is silent and grey

Hide on the promenade etch a postcard, "How I dearly wish I was not here."
In the seaside town.that they forgot to bomb Come! Come! Come nuclear bomb!
Everyday is like Sunday
Everyday is silent and grey

Trudging back over pebbles and sand and 
A strange dust lands on your hands and on your face
Everyday is like Sunday "Win Yourself A Cheap Tray"
Share some greased tea with me everyday is silent and grey

The Last Of The Famous International Playboys

Dear hero imprisoned with all the new crimes that you are perfecting
I can't help quoting you because everything that you said rings true
And now in my cell well, I followed you and here's a list of who I slew
Reggie Kray do you know my name don't say you don't please say you do I am
The last of the famous International playboys
The last of the famous International playboys

And in my cell well, I loved you and every man with a job to do
Ronnie Kray do you know my face  don't say you don't please say you do I am:
The last of the famous International playboys
The last of the famous International playboys

In our lifetime those who kill the newsworld hands them stardom
And these are the ways on which I was raised
These are the ways on which I was raised
I never wanted to kill I AM NOT NATURALLY EVIL
Such things I do just to make myself more attractive to you HAVE I FAILED ?
The last of the famous International playboys the last of the famous

I Am Not A Dog On A Chain

I am not a dog on a chain, I use my own brain
I can turn the conversation off, I'm too clever to be robbed
I am not a dog on a chain, thanks all the same
I have patience and I have time, both of which are mine

I hear a call, I hear a cry I raise my voice, I have no choice
I raise my hand, I hammer twice I see no point in being nice

I am not a dog on a chain, I use my own brain
I do not read newspapers, they are troublemakers
Listen out for what's not shown to you and there you find the truth
For in a civilized and careful way they'll sculpture all your views

So open up your nervous mouth and feel the words come streaming out
In volume, pitch and rising cries, opening your blinkered eyes
For otherwise you'll never know who you are or all that you can do
If you want to, if you want to, if you want to

I am not a dog on a chain, you've got to be insane
One is company and two is a crowd, and crowds are loud

Or maybe I'll be skinned alive by Canada Goose because of my views
Because of the truth, because of my fleece, because of my niece
Like drinking ink, the words explode, fattening fists, louder than blows
The dead are dead, ice cold and hard to where they can't be overcharged
They have no breath, they have no eyes, at least they won't be going twice

World Peace Is None Of Your Business

World peace is none of your business
You must not tamper with arrangements
Work hard and sweetly pay your taxes
Never asking what for you poor little fool you fool

World peace is none of your business
Police will stun you with their stun guns
Or they'll disable you with tasers
That's what government's for you poor little fool you fool

World peace is none of your business
So would you kindly keep your nose out
The rich must profit and get richer
And the poor must stay poor you poor little fool you fool

Each time you vote you support the process
Each time you vote you support the process
Each time you vote you support the process
Brazil and Bahrain Egypt, Ukraine so many people in pain
No more, you poor little fool no more, you fool

Kick The Bride Down The Aisle

Kick the bride down the aisle
And make no mistake it's the best you can do for everyone's sake
Kick the bride down the aisle
And treasure the day I know so much more than I'm willing to say
She just wants a slave to break his back in pursuit of a living wage
So that she can laze and graze for the rest of her days write down every word I say

Kick the bride down the aisle
In a mudslide of gloom she'll order you to tidy your room
Kick the bride down the aisle
Look at that cow in the field it knows more than your bride knows now
She just wants a slave to break his back in pursuit of a living wage
So that she can laze and graze for the rest of her days write down every word I say

You're that stretch of the beach that the tide doesn't reach
No meaning, no reason the lonely season
Kick the bride down the aisle and treasure the day

Irish Blood, English Heart

Irish blood, English heart this I'm made of
There is no one on earth I'm afraid of and no regime can buy or sell me
I've been dreaming of a time when to be English is not to be baneful
To be standing by the flag, not feeling shameful racist or partial

Irish blood, English heart this I'm made of
There is no one on earth I'm afraid of and I will die with both of my hands untied
I've been dreaming of a time when the English are sick to death of Labour, and Tories
And spit upon the name Oliver Cromwell and denounce this royal line that still salute him
And will salute him forever
