about

Inspired by real-life scullduggery and venomous enemies trying to have a pop at Scardanelli, revenge is indeed a dish best served ice cold...

lyrics

It's Only Life

This place is full of liars
Vagabonds and thieves
They’ll play you for a sucker
Try to bring you to your knees
But me I’m looking forward
To taking my revenge
A tasty dish best served ice cold.

This world is full of ghosties
And things I’ve never seen
There’s something in the water
There’s something in the sea
It’s all about big business
It’s all about the dosh
And Blair and Bush’s cronies make me really fucking cross

It’s only life
It’s only life
It’s only life
Get used to it
It’s only life
It’s only life
It’s only life
You’re living

My life is full of problems
Ten times worse than yours
Don’t come to me with hard luck tales
Self pity’s so perverse
It’s not about religion
It’s all about belief
And if you lose your sense of humour you’ll be living on the street

You’re funny, and you’re stupid
You’re stupid and you’re sick
You run around with head in hands and
Faces like a stick
And every one of you should know
The reason that you fail
Your bellyaching laughter’s like
The rattle of a jail.
