Mr Minister

There's too many awake people for you, Mr. Minister

There's too many awake people for you, Mr. Minister

Try to hide, try to avoid the truth revealing inside

They must be blind, they must be poor to save their fragile minds

There's too many awake people for you, Mr. Minister

There's too many awake people for you, Mr. Minister

Try to hide, try to avoid the truth revealing inside

They must be blind, they must be poor to save their fragile minds

Berkshire Right

Down in the old town, the rugged men held down

Slavery was rife and all they saw was bloody strife

Though brave old Johnny Dore, oh did he start the war

Challenged his master to a duel he drew

All we do is fight to defend our Berkshire right

We common folk won't stand for this no more

And in the morning dawn you'll see our brains and brawn

As we lock you up and feed you to the dogs

Across the Kennet flew a band red white and blue

The emperor's house was no longer to be seen

We'll fight you on the bypass and we'll fight you in the lanes

The blood and guts run thick from St. Nicolas today

All we do is fight to defend our Berkshire right

We common folk won't stand for this no more

And in the morning dawn you'll see our brains and brawn

As we lock you up and feed you to the dogs

And all we do is fight to defend our Berkshire right

We common folk won't stand for this no more

And in the morning dawn you'll see our brains and brawn

As we lock you up and feed you to the dogs

As we lock you up and feed you to the dogs

Road to Nowhere

People walking on the road to nowhere

Seeing all the people going by

Can't I see the road, it goes to nowhere

Why am I still bothering today

Walking on the only road we have left

Walking on the only road we have left

People walk down to nowhere

It's a chance to stop or end again

I hope you join me on the road to nowhere

And we'll find a path that suits us right

Walking on the only road we have left

Walking on the only road we have left

Walking on a road that goes to nowhere

Seeing all the people going by

Can't I see the road, it goes to nowhere

And why, I
