lyrics

Dark Dog Days

I was walking down the street just the other day
the sky was blue but the people was grey
Wandering like zombies in the ruins of Pompei -
but actually it was just a burnt out Argos
And I stopped to talk to a man at the side of the road
Struggling under the weight of his
heavy load - mostly Footlocker and Sports Direct
I said - “Hey Guy - what time’s the revolution kicking off?”
He said - “I don’t know ‘bout that -
but you can watch it at mine on a brand new 42 inch 3D HD TV
I just scored.”
Gil Scott-Heron’s turning in his grave, and it’s barely cold.

Dark Dog Days, Dark Dog Days

Then I ran into a man from Sky TV - he said
“Have you got anything? Have you seen anything?
Do you know anything? Have you heard anything?
I need something for the six o clock news.”
I said - “yeah - I said - “yeah
I met Piers Morgan once - and he’s a creepy little media whore just like you.”

Dark Dog Days, Dark Dog Days

Yeah I was walking down the street the other day
you know, the one owned by Primark and Starsucks and Costa
not fucking Coffee and Poundland
Yeah could’ve been my town your town any town every town
And I realised that there was absolutely nothing
there was absolutely nothing
that I wanted to buy -
which is just as well cos I ain’t got no cash “We’re all in this together - yeah? We’re all in this together -
so long as the rich stay rich, so long as the rich stay rich”
Yeah and Thatchers ghostie stalks the corridors of power
and she’s not even dead yet.

Dark Dog Days, Dark Dog Days
