There were 12 disciples but there could be more
7 prophets pushing on an open door
Show me the money and I’ll tell you the score
But if you ask me a question I’ll tell you no more
You may be a lawyer but still somebody’s fool
You were born to lead but didn’t know the rule
Check the exit when you dive in the pool
Drowning in public doesn’t look so cool
Look to the stars
Take to the hills
Love in the midst of satanic mills
We’ve bitten off more than we can chew
We robbed the many and chose the few
We never stopped to admire the view
Stray dogs want what stray dogs do
Pretend you’ve won you’ll get your prize
Hide it away from prying eyes
Only a loser would compromise
You’ve just begun so say your goodbyes
Look to the stars
Take to the hills
Love in the midst of satanic mills

"Restomod"
Down in the scrapyard the old geezers wait
rusting away but denying their fate
hoping to be reborn as a shiny hotrod
praying for an enthusiast to do a restomod.
I've been watching lots of youtube
where blokes restore a car
(and I wondered)can they do that to geezers to make them better than they are?
I know I'm just a silly old sod
but can anyone out there do a restomod?
Please start with the chassis
it's tired and worn
but I'm rather fond of it I've had it
since I was born
They can then move on
to the rest of my bod
please strip me down and do a restomod.
Chorus
"I wanna be rebuilt with the body of a god
baby strip me down and do a restomod!"

Butter Side Down
I’m starting to believe my life
Is always butter side down
Just designed to turn my smile to a frown
Small frustrations start off my day
It’s butter side down in every way
I make my breakfast- choose the healthy bread that’s brown
I drop it to the floor it lands butter side down
I drive to work in the nearby town
Stuck in traffic tense with a frown
See my life is butter side down
I think I’m king with a glittering crown
But then she lands me butter side down
She slinks in in her brand new gown
And I’m just an verb no longer a noun
Chorus
“I think life’s handed me a pup
Why can’t it be butter side up?”

Llama Land Lullaby
We took a Trip to Llama Land the kids were less than thrilled
for Llama Land I tell you wasn’t as was billed
The poor creatures weren’t even llamas but donkeys draped in rugs
I paid a tenner each and we was took for mugs.
I tried to cheer the kids up but all at once they cried
the bloke said the llamas one by one had died
at first they strung them up and give them food and drink
but after a fortnight the bastards began to stink.
So that’s when they got the donkeys and put them in disguises
but customers had sussed it and now there was a crisis
the council got wind of it and raised a hue and cry
and now what is needed is a Llama Land Lullaby
“Go to sleep little llama
close both your eyes
cos now you're a donkey
in dismal disguise”
I really feel awful ‘bout your rotten day out
I would have given those donkeys terrible a clout
Llamas don’t give a monkey’s if you’re happy or you cry
So don't tell ‘em your troubles, they'll just spit in your eye.
