Shellfish 01:49
She sells seashells by the sea shore She lives idly by the sea shore She will die quietly by the sea shore She sells seashells by the sea shore She lives high in a concrete jungle She dreams and hopes in a tin can basement She breaks the rules for a taste of freedom She lives high in a concrete jungle We work and cry and try to love one another We scrape and die and accept the hateful We have the power but we ignore one another we are the questions and we are the answers to die for your country on a religious wasteland to fight ideology and turn to hatred to stop and think just for one moment to dream and wake and to hold hope high Hold Hope High work and fight and try to love one another We scrape and die and accept the hateful We have the power but we ignore one another we are the questions and we are the answers

Stand together they can't compete the boss will have to die break their chains disarm their bombs and end their reign of lies smash they system that's uncaring and turns us into tools meat for the fodder lamb for the slaughter brain dead mules Stand together they can't compete the boss will have to die break their chains disarm their bombs and end their reign of lies smash they system that's uncaring and turns us into tools meat for the fodder lamb for the slaughter brain dead mules Do they realise what they're doing to the earth fucking it up, they're fucking it up Do they realise what they're doing to life fucking it up, fucking it up Do they reaalise what they're doing to us they're fucking us up, fucking us up Do we realise what we are doing to them Propping them up, we're propping them up It's not the same for them it's just a game Refuse to play, refuse to play Life for money it's not a fair exchange Refuse to play, refuse to play Watch out son he's gonna beat him first Refuse to play, refuse to play You'll be next to satisfy their thirst Refuse to play, refuse to play Stand together they can't compete the boss will have to die break their chains disarm their bombs and end their reign of lies smash they system that is uncaring and turns us into tools meat for the fodder lamb to the slaughter brain dead mules

Watching the screen and the way it reflects the people the actions but in whose interest the bricks and the stones and the anger and the tears hope for solution try and interfere The right the left what does it mean who's right, who's wrong have we not seen the types of life brought on by others the choice is ripe but the taste is sour it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's so easy There's fighting in the east, west, north and south trouble everywhere what's it all about People, the people beneath we're the same the colours are different but so is the game superior beings a superior myth serious means to create a general rift The cards are safe but the reasons are few too many gamblers too many things to do it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's so easy Just to listen and learn would be a good thing to help rewrite what we try to sing the few have too much far too many have too few if we rewrite it all, what's next to do the lyrics are bright and the melodys sweet the turns are right and the tunes complete the money head is on the bus for the dead cool rebel whose got the looks it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's so easy it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's so easy Sell you soul for socialism sell your soul for anarchism sell your soul for capitalism Join from apart with realism Sell your soul for cynicism Open up to idealism There's money made from all this hate Should it stop should it start is it all too late it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's so easy Heavy is the song but these words go on Heavy all along but these words belong Heavy are the sentiments or so you say Heavy are the happenings or so we say The fools, the rules who rules the roost who makes the peace when the fighting boosts The fools, the rules who rules the roost who makes the peace when the fighting boosts it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's so easy

about

One and only demo - recorded overnight in with a student sound engineer. We thought it sounded great after 10 hours in the studio on powerful speakers. We were pretty horrified when we got home and played it on our cassette players.

about

not our world Dublin, Ireland

Not our world were a punk d.i.y. band from dublin who played in the late 80's We recorded loads of gigs on what we thought were great tape recorders at the time but it's hard to digitise those. We did do a demo tape which we thought sounded pretty poor and vowed to go back into the studio again. Events conspired against us and we never got back in so here's the tape in all its glory. ... more
