Bat Boy Signs Up
Stumbling out of the wreckage of what was known as the ground floor
The tremors became an earthquake they could not be ignored no more,
They could not be ignored...
And just like bits of a puzzle, the pieces of today
The papers put them together - they had to go this way of course,
They had to go this way...
Now eyes right and skip, get in step with the rest
You near sighted kid that would miss if the fight was fixed
Bat Boy signs up to do his bit, oh, yeah...
I'm reading between the headlines - this can't be the way it is;
Here comes Captain Avenger looking for his nemesis,
He'll make him pay for this...
And just like bits of a puzzle, the pieces of today
The papers put them together - they had to go this way of course,
Had to go this way...
Now eyes right and skip, get in step with the rest
You near sighted kid that would miss if the fight was fixed
Bat Boy signs up to do his bit, oh, yeah...
Flag sales soar on a fast boat from China
Let’s sail over what’s under Central Asia
Bat Boy can’t see if it’s under his radar so show that boy
A picture of the beast…

The Strawberry Coast (Ian Roure)
White sails wander on the river
Oak and Ash wave overhead...
Walk to the shore and look over the water
Past wi-fi and ivy and on down the lane
Into the pub and you're placing your order
Sit by the fire and look out at the rain
On the Strawberry Coast,
On the Strawberry Coast
Far from where it hurts the most you're on the Strawberry Coast
Simon & Angela meet at the jetty for undamaged leisure at the Oyster Quay
Sciving school girls hiding inside the ruins
Smoke at the abbey then off home for tea
On the Strawberry Coast, On the Strawberry Coast
Far from where it hurts the most you're on the Strawberry Coast
Amid the hedges and primroses and the hanging gardens grow the satellite dishes
Smile 'cos you are on CCTV as you're going home, as you're going home, as you're going home...

Images of Christmas (Ian Roure)
I fell into an old instamatic snap Through the dyes and emulsions to Christmas past
The stereo played Winter Wonderland
As the reel to reel turned, rum & cokes in hand
Christmas cards tucked into the beams
Toasting the things we’d hoped would be
Sitting with George & Audrey & Grandma Lucy
Those lost to us now
Are all found inside these Images of Christmas
Greeting you at the door is your auntie Rose
She’s the queen of the party, and she knows…
Dressed in our gifted finery,
Watching the Queen on the T.V.
Send out the searching party; bring the Bacardi,
Saint Bernard & cask ‘Cause I’m lost inside these Images of Christmas
Evening at the Ericsons’, after supper’s done
Doreen played the ivories and carols they wuz sung…
Dressed in our gifted finery,
Watching the Queen on the T.V.
Send out the searching party; bring the Bacardi, Saint Bernard & cask
‘Cause I’m lost inside these Images of Christmas
‘Cause I’m lost inside these Images of Christmas
Yes I’m lost inside these Images of Christmas
Images of Christmas
Images of Christmas

Tracking Tina (Ian Roure)
Who loves you little lady
Who's gonna keep you safe and
Who's gonna catch you in every white lie you're telling
Your lucky stars above are really satellites
They're keeping the girl in sight
In every car seat and dwelling
(chorus) We Only want what's best
For our baby
We only make this test - 'cos it always
Helps put our minds at rest
When we're tracking Tina
Daddy wants you to have
This token of our love
It's keeping the girl in touch
Whether or not you want to
A smart phone with the works
Like you've been asking for
It takes photographs and more
Tells us what you've been up to
(chorus)
Daddy gets a call 'cos you're on the forbidden shore
Mummy gets an email you're with toxic bachelors
And it's just a start, you'll get used to it
In this wired up world some one's always got a fix
On what Tina's into....
(chorus)
