Saint Mavis (Britain After The Collapse)
The Felicity Kendals
We’re coming to you Mavis With a simple little song
If our government can’t sort it out It’s us must carry on
Though the economy’s in a shit hole This land is still our home
There will always be an England love If we help our very own
Mavis luv, do ya ‘ave any openings
Mavis luv, do they need a seein’ to
What qualifies us to ask ya if you need a service We’re out here on the sausage with Fuck-All to do
Mavis you’re our silver lining Through the dark clouds up above
It’s Britain who is callin’ out It’s Britain needs ya luv
See these Bankers
Bloody Wankers
They all got caught off side
Now with some bollocks called austerity we’re paying interest with our lives
Mavis luv, do ya ‘ave any openings
Mavis luv, we can always plug a hole
What qualifies us to ask ya if you need a service
We’re out here pickin’ lilies on the rock n’ roll
Mavis luv, do ya need a good plasterin'
Mavis Luv, we’ve got caulking for your crack
What qualifies us to ask ya if you need a service
We’re on the fuckin’ sausage taking up the slack
Dear Mavis are you listening
Saint Mavis Are Ya listening
Is anybody listening
Does anybody care
Nick Clegg are ya listenin’
Ed Milliband ya listenin’
Dave Cameron ya listenin’
Is anybody there?
(Whistles)
David, David well of course it’s all beginning to sound a bit Mickey Mouse. He’s the only sort of character you could ever truly relate to so there we are. And here we are. Do you wish to grow up David? It would make a lot of people awfully happy if you did.
You Do!
We’ll fuckin’ get on with it then n’ stop fannyin’ about!
What are you bleedin’ like?
Mavis luv, do ya ‘ave any openings
Mavis Luv, we’d love to mind your gap
What qualifies us to ask ya if you need a service This countries gettin’ rogered by it’s own damn crap
(Instrumental)
Mavis luv, do ya ‘ave any openings
Mavis luv, we can always plug a hole
What qualifies us to ask ya if you need a service

Mavis luv, do ya need a good plasterin'
Mavis Luv, we’ve got caulking for your crack
What qualifies us to ask ya if you need a service We’re on the fuckin’ sausage taking up the slack

Tell Me Lies
The Felicity Kendals
I don’t know what’s covering you up so tightly right now but
Maybe I can grab your string and start to unravel it
You can twist my words to mean what they may never mean to me
But baby can’t you see that what you see I may not see?
Tell me lies everyday
But baby hold my hand when you look at me that way
And maybe I will understand
Grey may look like blue depending on the time and light of day
I can change my hue depending on the things you might say
This is only human silliness and it may always be this way
So say what you will say
although you never meant to say it.
Tell me lies everyday
But baby hold my hand when you look at me that way
And maybe I will understand
Tell me lies everyday
But baby hold my hand when you look at me that way
And maybe I will understand
Tell me lies everyday now baby
Just hold my hand when you're lookin' at me that way
And maybe I will under...
And maybe I will under...
And maybe I will understand

Polly Tischuns
The Felicity Kendals
Ya bat your beady little eyes at me
But you wasn't gettin' into my life
Had the cheek to brandish lies at me
But ya wasn’t gettin’ into my life
And now you proper Propagandise me
‘Bout how I Pertain to your lies. But see,
You're just Self aggrandising luv ‘
Cuz you care Fuck all about my life
Ease back Polly
We all know you're just a show
Yes, we know who's bought and paid for
Ta-Da, you’re bought and paid for
My Nan don't trust ya Polly Tischuns

Though it's right to fuck with Polly Tischuns
You'll never get ahead with Polly Tischuns
How Exhausting!!
(Instrumental)
Ease back Polly
We all know you're just a show
Yes, we know who's bought and paid for
You're so wholly bought and paid for
No one starts a war like Polly Tischuns
Nor begs the fight like Polly Ticshuns
You can be enslaved by Polly Tishuns
So why behave for Polly Tishuns?
How Exhausting!!
(Instrumental)
Ease back Polly
Take a bow let’s end the show
‘Cuz we know who's bought and paid for
Yes, our Polly’s bought and paid for!

Shut Your Spyin’ Lyin’ Eyes
-or-
The Trans- Atlantic
Waltz In G
The Felicity Kendals
Shut your spyin’ little lyin’ eyes
Oh, how they try ta hypnotise
But it’s a joke to think I’d ever lionise
Your spyin’ lyin’ eyes
Shut your spyin’ lyin’ eyes
I’m seein’ clear through all you try to disguise!
You're thinking’ time will roll on and I’ll get desensitised
To your spyin’ lyin’ eyes
Oh, I stand up for the good ol days
When our privacy had a full guarantee.
But these days I’m on guard, and find it hard getting hard
Knowing some paid piece of shit’s watching me
Ta’ hell with your lyin’ spyin’ eyes
Takes a git to think this shit will get legitimatised
For it’s the people you’re aiming to criminalise
With your spyin’ lyin’ eyes
(Instrumental)
Oh love, don’t cha just long for them glorious ol days When our privates weren’t exposed to these insane breaches of trust?
But beware my dear! Oh yes, they’re recording in here
G-Cameron-H-Queer Ahhhhhhh, he’s watching’ us ..
Fuck
Your lyin’ spyin’ eyes
You’re just a hypocrite who never lets their shit get all scrutinised
While it’s the people and their commons ya work to criminalise
With your spyin’ lyin’ eyes
So shut your spyin’ damn lyin’ eyes

You Remain

You Remain
The Felicity Kendals
Feelings come, feelings go
First you’re high Then you’re feeling low
You’re feeling oh so low
Good times happen, bad times too
You’re the one it seems to happen to
Seems to happen to you
One thing always stays the same
The world flows by and yet You Remain
So take it quickly or take it slow
Whatever comes know that it will go
Yes know that it will go
You can always hold on to that game
But when the game is finished You Remain
Know that you’re here
Through pleasure and fear
You always see it from here
You’re always here
So tell yourself that same sad tale
Or tell yourself you always seem to fail
You always seem to fail
Well, sometimes you may loose
And sometimes you may gain
That will always change,
Yet You Remain
You Remain
You Remain
You Remain

Winter Of Our Discontent
The Felicity Kendals
I never gave a shit 'bout what they say
Cuz everybody goes to hell in their usual way
But oh fuckin' Christ
We're drowning in the "winter of our discontent”
I closed my eyes in a good faith effort to compromise
But my ears still realised
Twas all just fuckin' lies
As the Polly's went...
YO HO repeat after us
This is for your good - your good
Common people say -
No fuckin' way, Polly shit don't flow that way
So cummon - Polly want a cracker - Polly want a cracker
Polly your just our bitch you know
I never gave a fig - I never gave a fuck
Cuz everybody's face down in their usual muck
But oh fuckin' Christ
How much longer till our "glorious summer”?
I closed my eyes thinking I'd enjoy a nice surprise
Ah surprise surprise
Twas all a pack of lies
As the Polly's went...
YO HO yes this is for your good
So bend over - bend over
Common people say -
Show a bit more class or you can shove it up your ass
Shit, you're already getting shafted by the corporations
Ain't that enough dick for you?
"Perjury, perjury, in the high’st degree
Murder, stern murder, in the direst degree;
All several sins, all used in each degree,
Throng to the bar, crying all, Guilty! guilty!"
They tell us, bend over like thy neighbor
Work that ground little brother
Oh I say Lord-a lift my hands up-a off o their plow
Till these lyin' days be done
Yet their deceit keeps rollin' on
Polly It's all tits up I know Deceit's become the status quo
Winter of Our Discontent

The Impersonals
The Felicity Kendals
We’re The impersonals
Yes, The Impersonals
In theses day’s where it’s hard To fly under the radar
And be personal
With the Impersonals
We’re The Impersonals
Calling all Impersonals
They’re making us a crime
So get off on-line
Then put down your personables
And go subversable
(Instrumental)
We’re The Impersonal’s
Aiming to get personal
These are days of eye spy Where you could be the fall guy
For all your personal
Interpersonals
But The Impersonals
Are personably personal
Where there’s a lack of respect
We are there to object
And go submersible
Upon your personal

Voices Of The Fallen
The Felicity Kendals
The voices of the fallen
Fell still without a word
Upon a barren feudal wasteland
Where cries are seldom heard
Taken in by sad illusions
They failed to disobey
And so fell for their deceiver in a dark uneven way
The voices of the fallen
In the end, to silence fell
They sung sweet hymns to heaven
While being blindly led through hell
Blinkered by some ancient promise
They felt honoured to obey
And so fell to their deceiver in a dark uneven way
(Instrumental)
The voices of the fallen
Ignored their noble roar
For ignoble views of righteousness
That longed for everlasting war
Moulded by the will of mountebanks
Their voices fell astray
To fall for their deceiver in a dark uneven way
(Instrumental)
And are not you the voice my dear
That matters most of all
Will you curse the cursed fiction
Or to the trickster fall
Will you join in common voice, my love
And expose the shadow-play
Or fall for your deceiver in a dark uneven way
Will you risk the rebels whipping post
Where the civil disobey
Or fall for your deceiver...
In a dark uneven way

Beautiful Things
The Felicity Kendals
She knocked me sideways
When I wasn’t looking’
Said I’d been ignorin’ what’s been given for free
That while I was hustlin’
For love and for money
I failed to notice - The beauty of things
Ah, beautiful things
Beautiful things
Beautiful things
Beautiful things
She caught me driven
Caught me driving in shadows
Hooked to the notion that nothing’s for free
Said I’s running on empty
From an insecure future
And failing to fill up on - The beauty of things
Such beautiful things
Beautiful things
Beautiful things
Beautiful things
(Instrumental)
Blinded by vision
Tongue tied with language
Caught red bloody handed exploiting the ‘Free’
Thought we could imagine a great human future
But we’re failing to stand up for - Beautiful things
Beautiful things
Beautiful things
Beautiful things
Beautiful things

- A.k.a - Greta's Fixation
The Felicity Kendals
Gonna save U - Save U tomorrow I know it's urgent
But we're diggin' our groove
So not on today, but surely tomorrow
We will heal all our sorrow
And then my love
We'll save U - save U from burning ‘
Course I realise your hurting'
Ooh, I feel so alone
Hey, yesterdays gone - but surely tomorrow
We will see through our sorrow
A'course til then...
We’re gonna - Keep on banging' ya dead to rights
Till we blot out our last days and nights
We'll prick your valley's
Frack each hole
Keep on killing for oil whilst spilling our soul
A'course you'll B golden - just fine in time
It's us nutters B withering our own damn vine
So I guess - until the morrow - my love
We will f@k-Q
Oh we’ll f@k-Q ... f@k-Q UP
(Instrumental)
It's the customary life of us people
And our customary ordinary lives
But when our customs prove inane
It's insane to keep them the same
And let the prickish pride of capitalist dicks
F@kin' drill this earth like a f@k-in bitch
Must the arrogance of corporate pricks
Treat innocence like a bloody bitch?
Oh my darlin' - We're f@ck-in ya foolish -
'Course I have to admit it - She's our favorite MILF
Nature's a Mother We Love to F@k!
She's a MILF more preferable than Nancy!
So wait till tomorrow
And tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in
And then perhaps - in time - my love
We'll f@k-in get it together
Will we get it to - f@k-in -gether?
Oh if we absolutely got ta F@K something up
Then let's F@k our f@k-ed up ways -
'Course I've never ever heard of a fast - f@ckin' fix
For a greedy trough of capitalist dicks
So I guess - until the morrow - my love
We will f@k-Q - Ooh ooh Ooh!
We will f@k-Q - f@k-Q Up!!
Yes we'ill f@k-Q - Ooh ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh - Tra - La - La - La
And then perhaps in time, my love we will....

Frailty Thy Name Is Human
The Felicity Kendals
History, my little tie-dyed doll
How long have we been throwing our love at the wall
Gnashing and grinding for fairness in kind
But the slaughter goes on
And we love living blind
Love ta bury our heads
To war done in the name
Pretending inaction absolves all the shame
Oh well, they say, it’s only human
Frailty thy name is human
Present in action,
to our present inaction,
Comfortably living the hell that I know
On a ship that’s sinking down down down
Filled with the tide of our glutinous pride
It’s taking its toll
It’s taking its toll
Deepening factions for minor infractions
It just how we roll
Mate it’s just how we roll
Is there any art in eyes of the man
Myopically bent on consuming his hand
Oh well, they say it’s only human
Frailty, thy name is human

The Great Abandon
The Felicity Kendals
The Dali Lama and the Pope
Got on a boat and started to float
'Cross the Med. to the land the Brits called Palestine
They thought it would be nice
To offer bowls of rice and the Blood of Christ
Just to see if they could lend their helping hand
Well the natives said:
'Thank you Dalai for the rice now all is fuckin' (Won/ One)!
Whoa, Frankie careful with that blood we've spilled enough my son!
Till you lads kindly came along Christ, we all felt abandoned
By the others
By the others
Well, have you ever felt abandoned by the others in the room?
We've all been abandoned
By the others
By the others
(Instrumental)
Never again, we said! Never again...
Would we attempt to erase the face of our humanity... again!
And yet we draw such stupid lines
Like Israel and Palestine
Lines that sever tiny heads
While they lie sweetly trembling in their beds.
But who is the light?
Am I the light?
Yes I'm the light, I am!
I'm the light
Yes I'm the light
Oh, I am The Great I AM... THAT I AM -
You are The Great I AM... THAT I AM -
We are The Great I AM... THAT I AM -
There's only The Great Abandon,
there's no other in the room!
What makes us think we are other
Than the other?
Than th...
What makes you think that you’re other than ‘this’?
Yes, whoever said you were other
Than the other?
Than the other

Polly’s Dreadful Cuppa’
The Felicity Kendals
Don’t let Polly put the kettle on
Don’t ya let her fuckin’ switch it on
For Polly’s tea is dreadful
And the spotted stains on her pristine cup won’t Out Out
Lady be damned
Oh Lady Be Damned
We’ve tasted Polly’s tea
So why must Polly make the tea
When her tea’s so bloody dreadful?
Please if I may
Fred has something to say
Please if I may
Our Fred has something to say
Though his parents named him Chelsea
You’ll address him as he’s custom
Right Fred?
Right said Fred
Should you lie back and think of England
Jeremy my dear
Conceive of her backwards
Jeremy my dear
Where her cakes are self-fulfilling
And her buns are always thrilling...
And the teas not bloody dreadful

Promised Land
The Felicity Kendals
Darlin' can you see the darkness that's fallen
Time to pack your bags the future is calling you
Darlin' if you hear the sound of my voice
Then reach out my love there's another choice for you
Cuz this entire bloody world is headed for a breakdown
Gonna get you outta here before it shakes down
Yes, I will take you away
Oh I will take you away
Just hold my hand
And together we shall find
The Promised Land
Time to dull the sharpness of your melancholy
Grinding on that axe ain't nothing' but folly - Oh!
Come on grab your coat ya know when it's raining
Time to leave the place that leaves you complaining - Oh!
Cuz this entire bloody world is headed for a breakdown Gonna get you outta here before it shakes down
Yes, I will take you away
Oh I, I'm gonna take you away
Just hold my hand
And together we shall find
The Promised Land
It's time for life to fill you
To thrill you, my love
As this world descends into fuckin' madness There'll be crazy days and fits of sadness But not for you my love...
No, not for you my love!
(Instrumental)
My love

Reach out to me - Reach out for me My love
Cuz this entire bloody world is headed for a shakedown
Gonna get you outta here before it breaks down
Yes, I will take you away
Oh I, I'm gonna take you away
Just hold my hand
And together we shall find
Together we shall find
Together we shall find
The Promised Land
* Just hold my hand and I'll take you there before this world goes to hell!

Why Should It?
The Felicity Kendals
Why should it all mean something
If it means nothing at all?
For if it all meant something
Then it would mean nothing at all.
You really think you’re something
Knowing one day that everything must fall
And though you had the Brazil’s to finally raise the question,
No one gives a shit who’s asking.

You’re Awright My Son
The Felicity Kendals
Something in the way she moves can feel quite scary
But look into the mirror
You’re extraordinary
In this ordinary madness
That leaves one overwrought and overrun
Pull out your thumb
An’ take her for a spin and have some fun.
Oh yes go on -
‘Cuz - You’re Awright My Son!
Been working for the man With such a strange devotion
Hoping against hope there’ll be some grand promotion
But life keeps casually slipping by
And no high seems to satisfy, I know
The Clock Ticks On
And you’re wishing that this ‘Daily Grind’ was done
Just cut and run -
You’ll be Awright My Son!
Yes, times will come
When you’re staring down the barrel of a gun
Keep you’re Alans on -
You’ll be Awright My Son!
Oh yes go on -
‘Cuz - You’re Awright My Son!

To The Matter -
A Contemplation In At Least 9 Movements
The Felicity Kendals
Cummon if it really matters
Then let’s raise our glass and drink to the matter.
And for those to whom ‘Things’ truly matter
Then let’s raise our glass - to the glass… wot matters
I got ta suckin’ on yesterday’s lollypops and clacking my fat conkers When I heard the news
That you finally mattered to somebody special and that I
I played the fool.
To think that you’d matter at all?
Oh honestly, who would’ve thought ‘You’ could matter!?
Oh how I played the fool
To think that ‘bout ‘You’!
But Christ can’t you see
It wasn’t just me?
No it’s never just me
When you don’t feel you are me
“Hey You! Yes you, that funny looking little fella in that culture over there! You, suckin’ off the hind tit of the world and dragging us down with your fuckin’ dreams and aspirations....
YOU MATTER NOT!!
Everything’s alright yes?.... Everything’s alright, yeah.
And the Nobel for peace goes to - DR. PEPPER SPRAY
Everything’s alright.... Yes, everything’s alright, yeah?
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 - BOOM!
What Keeps you thinkin’ and thinkin’ everything’s alright, yeah?
One more body count - One more body count DOES THIS BODY COUNT!?
If everything’s alright then everything’s alright - Yes?
(Instrumental)
Aren’t ‘I’ at the heart of the matter?
And do you think it matters
To them wot matters
When the matter of their loved one - splatters?
And more to the matter
Was there hope this song would matter
And it’s matter it would shatter through
The very thought of you?
Well, think again my friends
Though, if you think again my friends,
I fear our Maddening Mental Muddles are never going to end.
(Shit)
‘Course when it’s time to drown our books
Five Fathoms Down
Where that space between our ears gets freed from
Light and sound
Who could’ve thought it would matter anyway?
Ah, anyway...
I’m drinking anyway!
Let’s buy another round anyway!
My Sweet - Anyway - xx
