lyrics

Cupcake fascists on the run –
Better keep calm and carry on
Sculpting pink lambs from plasticine
Baking pies with a picture of the queen.
Oh England!
Mediocre and pristine,
Taking tiny dogs
For walks on her mountains green.

Now let’s all watch this reality show
Friday nights on Channel 4:
Fat immigrants on benefits
Sipping bin juice through silly straws.
We lead comfortable lives,
That’s easy enough to see,
But it all makes me sad.
Now what does that say about me?

Normality’s no formality –
We want quiet lives; no conflict –
But diagnosed with firstworld vanity
We cure it with a click.

Suffocation aesthetics,
The art of the terminally repressed,
CathKidstonstyle tumours
On Britannia’s beleaguered breast:
There’s no sincerity
In a cute meerkat’s whimpering face –
Yeah, we get it
You like pastel colours and things in their place.

I wish I could have that simple joy
From a picture of a yawning dog
That I’m not so easily annoyed
A grouchy slouching frog
