    Do you remember the show Fun House?
    If you're now humming "It's wacky, it's fun, it's craaazy" or picturing Pat Sharp and the twins, you can skip the next paragraph; you already know the deal.

    Now, children; so, like, a Compact Disc, or "See Dee", is like a gigantic, ancient iPhone for your grandparents. It's this shiny frisbee-looking thing that stores, like, 12 songs max and you have to spin it in a CD player to make it sing. It's prehistoric Spotify, but with zero playlists and a side order of nostalgia.

    Comes in a cardboard sleeve.
    Recorded mixed and mastered by Nathan Wacey @ Rebellion Studios

Mongrels 02:25
lyrics
Arms open Eyes wide Across the dunes Face the tide Blue as sapphire Cold as ice Sea grass Sacrifice Clouds gather Roads straight History Don't seal your fate Small island Rugged face Past bloody With a warm embrace Fuck your purity Fuck your purity Fuck your purity Fuck your purity A nation of mongrels A multinational melting pot Does not mean dilution A nation of mongrels A multinational melting pot Does not mean dilution Face the tide Face the tide (Face the tide) Face the tide (Face the tide) Face the tide (Face the tide) Face the tide (Face the tide) Face the tide Jade garden Warn moist Moss gathers Now rejoice Never purebred Nor dull Ever hungry We're never full

Rich man goes to rehab Poor man goes to jail Little hope and less cash Little wonder why they fail Females fight for parity Equality of pay Politics not clarity Don’t believe a word they say

Multi-Purpose Pit Song 02:26
lyrics
Running round With chicken arms Like poor cooped up bastards In battery farms Thrusting up red flags To piss off the neighbours Making our money With favours for sailors Mixing in politics To boost our credentials T-shirts and beards They’re AWAP essentials Fascists! Bullies! You’ll cower in our wake! But rather than beat you We’ll bake you a cake Welcome to Our multi-purpose pit song Don’t stand the edges You know it won’t last long Get involved In this crazy pit song It’s for the weak As well as the headstrong We’re all you need Come feed us feed We’ll make you bleed Ya ha ha ha Writhing round With restless legs Our dirty underwear Is all encrusted with smeg Pointing at tories And making a fart sound Grinding out riffs Will make your head pound Chopping up genres To fuck with your brain cells Chopping up veggies For those vegan bum smells Metallers! Punks! You’ll die in our mosh! You’re all dirty grebos You all need a wash Welcome to Our multi-purpose pit song Don’t stand at the edges You know it won’t last long Crack a grin Let’s hope it’s not shit song We’ll make you rockin’ Until we taste your feet pong Until we taste your feet pong Until we taste your feet pong We’re all you need Come feed us feed We’ll make you bleed Ya ha ha ha Running round With chicken arms Like poor cooped up bastards In battery farms Thrusting up red flags To piss off the neighbours Making our money With favours for sailors

Arboreally Yours 03:52
lyrics
Buff arms Ripped legs Are no use with an empty head Open mouth Closed mind Opinions flow from your behind So far So what Is that really all you got? No words And just noise It must be great to be one of the boys Look closer and see Can’t see the wood For the trees Look closer and see Can’t see the wood For those... I’m on drink I’m on drugs Look down your nose At conformist mugs Your life’s So great It’s the rest make you irate They’re all The same Not fit to breathe your name Don’t fret Don’t frown Hope you enjoy your crown So maybe I’m jealous? Yeah it could have been me I’m the wood cutter Here to chop your tree Maybe I’m jealous? Yeah should it be me? I’m the wood cutter Here to chop your tree The branch in my eye Distorts my view Projects all my fears My fears my fears Back at you The branch in my eye Distorts my view Projects my fears My fears my fears Back at you A-go! A-go! A-go! A-go! A-go! A-go! A-go! A-go! Ooo, Suella Braverman Ooo, Suella Braverman You’re a racist cunt! The branch in my eye Distorts my view Projects my fears My fears my fears Back at you The branch in my eye Distorts my view Projects my fears My fears my fears Back at you I’m lost in the forest All alone The girl was never there I’m lost in the forest

Ant Walking Alligator People 03:22
lyrics
Lost for so long With filth covered eyes Head to the front Atomic sunrise March to a new beat A foe in disguise Mushroom cloud rising Strange dust in my eyes Strange dust in my eyes AWAP! AWAP! Oh! Hey now c’mon Give me my uniform Out for my country Saluting my flag Load on a missile And clip on a mag People below me Are smaller than ants Machine guns and cruisers Destroyers and tanks AWAP! AWAP! AWAP! AWAP! Oh! Hey now c’mon Give me my uniform Hey now c’mon Give me my uniform Pretty cloud Sending death I feel the skin Slough off my neck Feel my eyelids Reach my cheek My genitalia’s Past my knees Salute the emperor I feed his need A call to arms A bow to greed See my president I read his tweets Mainline Straight to me In Afghanistan out in Syria From Russia to Nigeria United Kingdom to the Ukraine Across the water to the USA For the lost, the weak, the feeble Ant Walking Alligator People! Snowflakes, known as sheeple Ant Walking Alligator People! For the lost, the weak, the feeble Ant Walking Alligator People! Snowflakes, known as sheeple Ant Walking Alligator People!

Ant Walking Alligator People (Noun)

1. Name given by survivors of Hiroshima to people horrifically disfigured by the atomic blast.
