'MORNING LOOPS' LYRICS

Ad Infinitum

There’s a fire on the mountain

How did it ever come to this?

In star field perpetual one broken rebel heart

Betrays the Empire with a kiss


From the dawn of time until the planet hits the sun

I will wait ad Infinitum

From the dawn of time until the program has been run

I will wait ad Infinitum


In the year of the tiger

And the epistles that you send

I first felt the fire, saw the light, heard the choir

And knew that death is not the end


From the dawn of time until the planet hits the sun

I will wait ad Infinitum


And then in my hour of need

Came the moment of truth

And the truth is I am dust without you

Never let a good thing die


(Ad Infinitum I’ll wait

Ad Infinitum I’ll wait)

From the dawn of time until the planet hits the sun

I will wait ad Infinitum

And from the dawn of time until we’re blown to kingdom come

I will wait ad Infinitum

(Ad Infinitum I’ll wait

Ad Infinitum I’ll wait)

The Hostage Moon

Illegal school assemblies and the history of the world

Oh little town turned upside down with the haunted flags unfurled

By the light of a hostage moon

Snowflakes fall to the ground


And when we fell, we fell for all the world

Christmas in Heaven with the French Resistance

With the French Resistance oh


And how that coldest winter did drag across the land

Oh little town turned upside down where we danced and made our stand

Motorcycle breaks across the dawn

Snowflakes fall all around


And when we fell, we fell for all the world

Christmas in Heaven with the French Resistance

With the French Resistance oh


And when we fell, we fell for all the world

Christmas in Heaven with the French Resistance

With the French Resistance oh

Christmas in Heaven avec la Resistance

With the French Resistance oh

Home: The Right to Seek Asylum

Sailed across the open sea

With a fire that burned inside me

Leant Yeats and Ulysses

To a New York public library

I saw the curve of the earth on the edge of Enniskillen

Is the war against the kids really a war we’d want to win?


The right to seek asylum is writ in law and carved in stone

I won’t let this or any government destroy a happy home


The Home Office picked a fight

With a fire by the sea that

Warmed the home of Edwin,

Kay, Andrew and Ste

And I saw the curve of the earth on those old dark wooden pews

Is the war against the kids really a war we’d can’t just lose?


The right to seek asylum is writ in law and carved in stone

I won’t let this or any government destroy a happy home

The right to family life is yours, but it’s not yours alone

I won’t let this or any government destroy a happy….


Home

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Home

Yeah yeah yeah yeah


I saw the ash of Europe drift across and fall to earth unknown

I won’t let this or any government destroy a happy home because


The right to seek asylum is writ in law and carved in stone

I won’t let this or any government destroy a happy home

The right to family life is yours, but it’s not yours alone

I won’t let this or any government destroy a happy….


Home

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Home

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Whale

If there’s profit in a whale

Then the city will burn

The city will burn

And fall into the sea forever

And never return

The city will burn

If there’s all this profit in a whale


In a puddle on a rock

Underneath an amazing star

Blue leviathan splash and sing their

Hearts out to the other modern dinosaurs

Magic mastodons!


If there’s profit in a whale

Then the city will burn

The city will burn

And fall into the sea forever

And never return

The city will burn

If there’s all this profit in a whale


In a puddle on a rock

Underneath an amazing star

Neptune's Piracy (Shepherds of the Sea)

Chase the fleet and sink their business model for eternity

For eternity!

If there's profit in a whale


If there’s profit in a whale

Then the city will burn

The city will burn

And fall into the sea forever

And never return

The city will burn

If there’s all this profit in a whale

Then the city will burn

The city will burn

And fall into the sea forever

And never return

The city will burn

If there’s all this profit in a whale

Then the city will burn

The city will burn

And fall into the sea forever

And never return

The city will burn

If there’s all this profit in a whale

Horses to the Ground

Morning Loops, our faithful friend

To the quiet end

And it felt like rain

And it felt like snow

And we fell like horses to the ground

And it felt like rain

And it felt like snow


Don't interrupt, no time to waste

Now we're painting rainbows in outer space

And it felt like rain

And it felt like snow

And we fell like horses to the ground

And it felt like rain

And it felt like snow


And it cried like fire

And it felt like snow

And we fell like horses to the ground

And it felt like rain

And it felt like rain

And it felt like snow

And we fell like horses to the ground

And it felt like rain

And it felt like snow

The Axle & The Rose

It's in the axle and the rose

It's in the common land enclosed

As a silent star falls from the sky


There's a chronic shortage of approved sites

Where Travellers can stop

Some people are born to roam

And some people are not

Shake it up now!


It's in the changing of the law

We've been down this road before

As a silent star falls from the sky


There's a chronic shortage of approved sites

Where Travellers can stop

Some people are born to roam

And some people are not

There's a desperate shortage of approved sites

Where Travellers can stop

Some people are born to roam

And some people are not


There's a chronic shortage of approved sites

Where Travellers can stop

Some people are born to roam

And some people are not

There's a desperate shortage of approved sites

Where Travellers can stop

Some people are born to roam

And some people are not

Some tax-payers are born to roam

And some of them are not

It's just some people are born to roam

And some of them are not

Shake it up now!


Dinosaurs

Tell me when you're sober

Tell me when you're drunk

Cos if the dinosaurs come back to life

And eat us all to death, I'd never know

I'd never know


Tell me when you're loaded

Tell me when you're straight

Cos if the dinosaurs come back to life

And eat us all to bits, I'd never know


And the tip of your tongue

Is no place for a well constructed sentence

That could cast light on the darkest dungeons

In the darkest


Animals surround me

Rainbows paint my path

But, if the dinosaurs come back to life

And eat us all to death, I'd never know

I'd never know

I'd never know


Cos if the dinosaurs come back to life

And eat us all to death

And if the dinosaurs come back to life

And eat us all to bits...I'd never know

Fireworks

Tell your mum I saved your life

Tell the moon the war is over

Say 'howdy, Ancient Satellite!'

Make it rain like it's the end of the world


You were playing with fireworks

And I was playing with matches

There were moments, there were flashes

All across the skies of September


And from the ark there flew a dove

Should it bring home a burrito 

Who knew that workers could be loved

Remember when we were all grounded for life?


You were playing with fireworks

And I was playing with matches

There were moments, there were flashes

All across the skies of September

You were playing with dynamite

And I was playing with matches

There were moments, there were flashes

All across the skies of September


You were playing with fireworks

And I was playing with matches

There were moments, there were flashes

All across the skies of September

You were playing with dynamite

And I was playing with matches

There were moments, there were flashes

All across the skies of September

All across the skies, do you remember?

All across the skies of September

Saturpool

And finally...

On Saturday 15th of August 2015

Neo-Nazi group National Action thought they would make a show of strength

By Marching through Liverpool City Centre

But, on Saturday 15th of August 2015

Liverpool had a better idea...


The Master Race Made a Big Mistake (When They Came to Our Town)

Fascist ambulation trapped in Lime Street Station

And it's not just a game of numbers

It's not just a game of N.U.M.B.E.R.S oh!


The master race, well they made a big mistake

When they came to our town

When they came to our town


And town is bricks and mortar, people are made of water

And we all crossed ourselves to get here

We all crossed ourselves to G.E.T.H.E.R.E oh!


The master race, well they made a big mistake

When they came to our town

When they came to our town


The master race, well they made a big mistake

When they came to our town

When they came to our town

The master race made a terrible big mistake

When they came to our town

When they came to our town

The master race made a tactical mistake

When they came to our town

When they came to our town



The Soul of Jimmy Carter

When Reagan won the White House on of the first things he did

Was take solar panels off the roof in a slightly horrendous bid

To wage a culture war which technically nobody could win

Where I end and where you begin 


From perpetual motion to eternal rest

The soul of Jimmy Carter

The soul of Jimmy Carter


For those who are paid peanuts came the Labour Reform Act

'77 it didn't happen, but that does not change the fact

that human rights are an all consuming passion of this soul

Where I end and where you begin


From perpetual motion to eternal rest

The soul of Jimmy Carter

The soul of Jimmy Carter


From perpetual motion to eternal rest

The soul of Jimmy Carter

The soul of Jimmy Carter

The soul of Jimmy Carter

The soul of Jimmy Carter
