Different Class Meet me on the corner boy don't be late Feed my children on the welfare state. Get my lippy and walk the street He has a drug crazed stare but he likes my meat Take a look at yourself in the glass Don't you know we're a different class Rendezvous at the Mayfair hotel Cruise in my soft top with diamonds as well Pay on account its discretion for you He gets tumed on by my Jimmy Choo shoes Different strokes for different folks. Different rules for working lass fools Different laws for mucky rich paws Guess who's got the get our clause You might be a lawyer an MP or a judge An Eton old boy or a banker with grudge You might be a fixer or benefits cheat You might live in a squat down on shameless street

Passion 04:14
Passion I dont want you in my head l just want you in my bed Your slim narrow fingers stroke zest of my skin Looking fine drinking wine Killing time you'll be mine passion I don't want you in my mind I just want you to unwind The pain and the pleasure and the steam of your kiss I don't want you in my soul I just want you to rock and roll My Venus in red I crave temptation

Kinda Blue 04:05
Kinda Blue Don't vou know that Makes me feel like walking on a dark night in the rain Smoky evocation hazy dream A Zen like calm that feels so hip it takes away my pain Don't you know that Spirits from the depth of soul transcend and start to rise A signifier of hip way so cool A laid back style that will for sure encapture and amaze Pick me up pick me up pick me up when I am down Don't you know that Nothing more and nothing less as modern is defined Blending themes from brothers black and white Relax drinking making love contemplate refined Pick me up pick me up pick me up when I am down

Lies 03:33
Lies (post truth) I don't know just who I voted for You don't represent me anymore You've got a mandate just to please yourself PM's question time is becoming a bore De mock mock democracy Hip hop hip hypocrisy Lies (post truth) lies lies (post truth) lies Weasel words and following trends is your game Oxbridge schooling privileged career to fame Disenfranchised and lost today's generation Left right centre you are all the same We try to serve the world with our democracy But it's not working like it's suppose to be Cash for questions expenses scandal and vice How on earth is that going to engage me

Woke up this morning Heard you knocking at my door It's hard for me to tell you I don't need you any more How am I going to phrase this? How am I going to tell you to go? These are the hardest words Hardest word to say is no Tomorrow find it hard What goes around comes around they say Forget about tomorrow how will I get through today

False Alarm 04:08
False Alarm I met this girl and she said I was good looking Drinking and smiling we were both cooking She said give me vour number and I'll give vou a call I tell you guess what happened that's right jack all Cos she's a false alarm I've got this mate and we get on fine He's out every night and we have a good time He gets a girlfriend and leaves the scene I hear nothing if vou know what I mean Cos he's a false alarm I met this girl through dating online Webchat and texting we were just fine But she airbrushed her photo and lied on her age This mad psycho bitch got me in a rage Cos she's a false alarm l've got this mate he says he is my friend Never buys a drink he drives me round the bend He's never no money so I give him a loan Never pays me back all he does is moan Cos he's a false alarm

Reign Cheque 04:35
Reign Cheque Rusty beats hit the street 'Neath my feet feel the heat Urban farm Sow the harm reap the calm with some charm Evil root corporate suit steal the loot isn't that cute Boom and bust Bankers lust morals rust so unjust Got a head full or ideas But I ain't got nothing to say If you're gonna move the world you got to first move yourself today It's going to rain before de change London burn Riots turn what you earn what you learn Out on bail Deal in jail going to fail Going stale Eton mess don't impress Voting yes Give us less Call me Dave Market slave dance and rave On Labours grave Nothing lost nothing gained, More things change more things remain the same

Spin the Coin What do you do when your shoes let in water? What do you do when you don't do what you oughta? Close your eyes and count to ten Spin the coin and lose again What do you do when you lose your freedom? What do you do when your rights you don't need them? What do you do when you can't work your mojo? What do you do when every street is no go? What do you do when you hit stormy weather? What do you do when you can't get it together?
