Cynical humanist
Dark poet dressed in black
Oh how I wish that
I could bring you back
Down to this planet
Which clearly sorely lacks
Your razor-sharp humour
And irony-laden attacks
Hey Bill
We need a doctor ‘cause this world is ill
And only you could prescribe the righteous pill
There is a way and you had the will and skill
You took on salesmen
Telling them to kill themselves
I picture you ranting
Urging folks to think for themselves
You told us the TV
Was just Lucifer’s dreambox
And you wanted your children
To listen to people who rocked
Hey Bill
We need a doctor ‘cause this world is ill
And only you could prescribe the righteous pill
There is a way and you had the will and skill
Looking at things now
Your words still hit their mark
We’re born to consume
While being kept in the dark
The same demons run amok
They just go by different names
And we’re free to keep quiet
While leaders play devious games
Hey Bill
We need a doctor ‘cause this world is ill
And only you could prescribe the righteous pill
There is a way and you had the will and skill
Hey Bill
We need a doctor ‘cause this world is ill
And only you could prescribe the righteous pill
There is a way and you had the will and skill
Hey Bill

Andy Kaufman
And Foreign Man

SWITCHING SIDES
(Words and music by Douglas Hinton)
Who do you support this week mate?
Who do you support this week mate?
Well he used to be a loyal Tottenham supporter
But they didn't give him much to write home about
So he's become a loyal Chelsea supporter
At least until that Russian money runs out
So you may accuse him of gloryhunting
Or of being a plastic armchair Chavski fan
But as long as the boys in blue keep winning
He'll swear to everyone he's a lifelong fan
Aye right
Aye right
And Elvis Presley plays bingo every Friday night
In Strathaven
Now there are things that can and sometimes must be changed
Like your clothes, your hair, your wife, even your name
Then there are things that can't and simply must not change
Like the team you support in the beautiful game
So if your mate owns up to being a traitor
But says switching sides long ago's somehow okay
If he pledges his allegiance to a blue flag
Remind him of his old white one then please say
Aye right
Aye right
And Elvis Presley goes bowling every Saturday night
In Gibraltar
Who do you support this week mate?
Who do you support this week mate?
Who do you support this week mate?
Who do you support this week mate?
