LYRICS
Ya better give while you live
You’ll know why after you die

Have you no heart
Do you need a liver transplant
Come on take part
Ya just can’t say can’t
Can’t say can’t

Feeling torn apart
Do you need a liver transplant
It’s easy to start
Just don’t say won’t
Can’t say can’t

Fill the world with art
Giver of a liver transplant
Before the dire die-er
We can transpire
To a vibe ever higher
Let the mantra rant
Can’t say can’t

Em                C                 G     Em
Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are
                           C                 G    Em
You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are
    C                         G
And when your hand is on your heart
A7
You're nearly a good laugh, almost a joker

With your head down the pigbin saying keep on digging
Am7
Pig stain on your fat chin

What do you hope to find down in the pig mine

You're nearly a laugh, you're nearly a laugh
                 Em    C         Em  D  Em  D  Em  D  Em  D
But you really a cry______

Em                C                 G      Em
Bus stop rat bag, ha ha charade you are
                       C                 G    Em
You fucked up old hag, ha ha charade you are
C                                 G
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
A7
You're nearly a good laugh, almost worth a quick grin

You like the feel of steel, you're hot stuff with a hat pin
Am7
And good fun with a hand gun
You're nearly a laugh, you're nearly a laugh
                    Em    C     Em  D  Em  D  Em  D  Em  D

Coversong made famous by The Kinks
Written by: Ray Davies

A
Cheap is small and not too steep 
    E           A                                
But best of all cheap is cheap 
(A)                                               
Circumstance has forced my hand 
        E                     D          A                
To be a cut price person in a low budget land 
D                        A                       
Times are hard but we'll all survive 
  E                    A                        
I just got to learn to economize 

           A                                      
  I'm on a low budget 
           E           D A                          
  I'm on a low budget 
  A                                               
  I'm not cheap, you understand 
             E                     D          A     
  I'm just a cut price person in a low budget land 

A                                               
Excuse my shoes they don't quite fit 
          E                      D         A      
They're a special offer and they hurt me a bit 
A                                               
Even my trousers are giving me pain 
          E                      D            A    
They were reduced in a sale so I shouldn't complain 
     D                        A                  
They squeeze me so tight so I can't take no more 
        E             A                         
They're size 28 but I take 34 

           A

I'm shopping at Woolworth and low discount stores 
    E                            D          A     
I'm dropping my standards so that I can buy more 

(Optional Verse 1)
                                               
A                                               
Low budget sure keeps me on my toes 
  E                       D              A        
I count every penny and I watch where it goes 

      D                       A                  
We're all on our uppers we're all going skint 
  E                              D         A     
I used to smoke cigars but now I suck polo mints

Millionaires are things of the past

We're in low budgetville where nothing can last

LYRICS
Can you see the beauty in tragedy
Can you see the beauty in travesty

All is not beautiful
Sing “not everything”
All is not beautiful
For whom does the bell ring

Is there any beauty in inequity
Is there any beauty in purgatory

Where is the beauty in self-pity
Where is the beauty in feeling $hitty

The invention of a killing convention
Stealth drone flown to bomb your home
Nothing’s fair in love and war

Modern warfare
So unaware
DA! Double dare
Modern warfare

Mass hallucination hysteria
Dilution of civilization — the staging area
Nothing’s fair in love and war

Blowout navy bomb your baby
Drop your jaw shock and awe
Nothing’s fair in love and war

For the strike force coarse source
Just look in the mirror…
And you’ll be nearer to seeing clearer
Are you aware
You are warfare

LYRICS
Please don’t think that I’m rude if I a don’t answer back
But I’m having some sort-of vision attack
A place where peace rules over the beast
When most is least and least welcomed to their feast

Out of the straits and narrows
The light at the end of our tunnels
Fly with the doves and sparrows
Loving your part in the jungle

Please don’t think that we’re crude if our manners lack
Perhaps it’s you lacking the knack
It’s time all hostilities ceased
And, the promised land released… release realized!

        I woke up in the Soho bar when a policeman knew my name. He said,
         E                   D             A                         C G
        "You can go sleep at home tonight if you can get up and walk away."

I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwin' punches around
And preachin' from my chair

[chorus:]
Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
'Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

I took the tube back out of town
Back to the Rollin' Pin
I felt a little like a dying clown
With a streak of Rin Tin Tin

I stretched back and I hiccuped
And looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the Tin Pan
God, there's got to be another way

Who are you?
Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ...

Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?

[chorus]

I know there's a place you walked
Where love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup
I only feel right on my knees

I spit out like a sewer hole
Yet still receive your kiss
How can I measure up to anyone now
After such a love as this?

I mean isn’t it obscene when you won’t give your kid a vaccine
You’re unaware modern healthcare is way better than fair
Beware! Your lack of B12 has left you bewildered
Wondered

You make a fuss about how business treats all of us
I’ll be damned. You don’t understand it’s from your demand
Won’t see clear that nuclear could be our savior

LYRICS
When you check your rearview mirror
Does it get any clearer

The past is coming up fast
Approaching
Encroaching
On living

And, in fact, when you’re looking back
Is your light shinning pitch black

Now, I’m….
In a race against time
The inevitability
Of mortality
The past is coming up fast
How long will a life last?

When you check your rearview mirror
Does it get any clearer
The past is coming up fast
In fact, when you look back
Will you shine pitch black
Or will your “has been” brilliantly beam?
Know the flow of the consciousness stream
Become one with the eternal dream

Here’s to… hoping and praying… hoping and praying… you find your way home

In a crowd yet still alone
Full blown groan
Route unknown

Maybe you wish you hadn’t begun
Your trip back in the fountain of young
Reverting to a baby
Until maybe
You just can’t cope
Sliding down that slippery slope

Here’s to… hoping and praying… hoping and praying… that you can roam… ’till you find your way home

Is the Earth in the way of the Milky Way?
Will our lied ride collide on our inside

The galaxy that contains our Solar System
Our sole our system

Is Mars not as far… as in “raise the bar”
Or, will our numbness nebula become regular

We’re spacing out without doubt

Do we think our sum greater than the sun
It’s not right if we don’t shine the light
