THAT'S ALL
First Released 1983, Cultural Wasteland


Memorable Moments
"...so Wild Man's gone and arranged our first gig. It's that night. We don't even own anything electric. The drum set will be a set of steel garbage bins. As manager he's confident, hocks his watch and buys us some electric guitars. El cheapos, action is crap. He gets one for himself which has shot wiring but means he can join us on stage to make "thunderstorms"... the gig was a huge success. Thank God it for the Uni's Anarchist Party"

The Classics
Come midnight there's a shot in the dark,
Somebody's seen running through a hole in the park,
She gets into a cadillac, I heard somebody say,
He was an agent of the US of A.

Well Ronnie met Johannes he said how do you do,
Let's ring up Maggie see if Lizzie can come to,
We'll go down to the Falklands cos the rain is coming down,
Six miles underground.

I went bird watching I was staring at the sky,
When a giant nuetron bomb came flying by,
Now my mother's just a shadow upon the kitchen wall,
That's all.

Captain wrote the letter home,
Said we buried her next day at dawn.
Sound of taps it wrent the morn,
As another khaki shirt was torn.

Dig a hundred graves today,
Reservations have been made,
Come fly the British way,
Courtesy the US of A

From space they looked down,
Upon our green land,
They saw us fight wars,
And they liked not our man.
They needed a home,
A harmonious place,
They took one look at us,
And OD'ed in space.

Come midnight there's a shot in the dark,
It's just another tank trying to sneak into Iraq,
Ayatollah's having breaksfast with another holy war,
Blood's running in the streets and the capitalists want more.

That's all.
