Song of the week – Powderworks

Given the shock and excitement of last week in Canberra, I forgot to post the lyrics for the Song of the week.

POWDERWORKS

(Hirst/Moginie/Garrett/Rotsey/James)

There’s a shit storm a’coming I feel its coming soon

There’s a time and a place There’s a moment in space

When the fat boys call the tune

There’s a bubble a’bouncing

And it’s bouncing my way

There’s two sticks in the powderworks

I think it’s gonna blow today

There’s a shit storm a’coming

Somebody claiming some I.O.U’s

Because the animal’s back with the man intact

They had a gun at my head and a knife at my back

Don’t wind me up too tight

I’ve been had by the balls all my life

I’m in no mood now to stop dead and talk it over

I don’t need no fire and brimstone warning

I’ve been a long time punching bag

I won’t run no race where there ain’t no prize

Take a look at my face Don’t you see this ain’t no lies?

There’s a shit storm a’coming

They’re getting in for one free bite

I was taken by surpirse

By the glint in the eyes of a sweet campaign

Smelling strongly of lies

You’re the original Mr. Clean

But the closeups make you look awful mean

You’re just a con man raving Saying nothing new
