Farewell sweet memory
Now they've all drunk the tea
You've made a strong case for insanity
Now we're forced to agree
As we sit in the front row
All nervously watching the show
Chorus:
Now that there's no shouldn't or should
You've never had it so good
Millions won on double talk
We've never had it so odd
Welcome sweet destiny
Shades of the 70s
With choppy waters in the Irish Sea
And bigotry let off the lead
And I dare say we'll see worse
Why must proceed in reverse?
(Chorus)
And I suppose it's just our turn to travel here like so many more
And how hard is it to recover your way once you're through that door
Where myth is embraced
And sense angrily scorned

The Castle Street Contingent (Ian Roure)
In the April sun one afternoon I sat outside at the Wetherspoon
For a peaceful pint but unbeknownst to me
I'd meet the Castle Street Contingent
He sat all alone though the table was full
In wire Dickensian spectacles
He said 'I serve a king that's far across the sea,
And I'm the Castle Street Contingent'
It's a far-flung distant outpost, the heart of Airstrip One
Defending the realm one pint at a time
Till Last orders come
The king is dressed in the finest clothes
With a long red tie hanging to his toes
And a pumpkin glaze sprayed upon his skin
He's the pride of this contingent
As an X-er I'm not inclined to love any Boomer that sets himself above
But I praise this one and bully any foe
I'm the Castle Street Contingent
