Me and Billy Bragg.
The government, the taxman and the wolf at the door
The bank and the council and the Devil of course
Are baying for my blood again --- oh, they always want more
But I have nothing left to give,
I need what is left so I can live ---
Please spare me a little change
Won’t you give me a Goddamn break?
“No! No! No-No-No-No!
We are the government, the taxman and the wolf at the door
The bank and the council and the Devil of course ---
We each have a price and we’ll help ourselves to what is yours”
But I have nothing left to give
I need what is left so I can live ---
Please spare me a little change
Won’t you give me a Goddamn break?
“No! No! No-No-No-No!”
Dance, dance, dance around the blame --- I doubt you’ll ever dance again
The end is nigh --- the words are so hard to find
With such words, they’ll fair thee well
I’ll count the cost of those I sell
Where angels play, they’ll save a place just for you…
When Moses stood on the mountaintop to receive the gift from God ---
Who do you think was waiting at the bottom to divvy up his lot?
The government, the taxman and the wolf at the door
The bank and the council and the Devil of course!
Ohh, I’m dreaming of everything, everything I have not
I work all day and I’m not getting anything and the price of living won’t drop
Say “No! No! No-No-No-No!
No! No! No-No-No-No!
Get off!”
The government, the taxman and the wolf at the door
The bank and the council and the Devil of course
Are baying for my blood again --- oh, they always want more
But I have nothing left to give,
I need what is left so I can live ---
Please spare me a little change
Won’t you give me a Goddamn break?
“No! No! No-No-No-No!
We are the government, the taxman and the wolf at the door
The bank and the council and the Devil of course ---
We each have a price and we’ll help ourselves to what is yours”
But I have nothing left to give
I need what is left so I can live ---
Please spare me a little change
Won’t you give me a Goddamn break?
“No! No! No-No-No-No!”
Dance, dance, dance around the blame --- I doubt you’ll ever dance again
The end is nigh --- the words are so hard to find
With such words, they’ll fair thee well
I’ll count the cost of those I sell
Where angels play, they’ll save a place just for you…
When Moses stood on the mountaintop to receive the gift from God ---
Who do you think was waiting at the bottom to divvy up his lot?
The government, the taxman and the wolf at the door
The bank and the council and the Devil of course!
Ohh, I’m dreaming of everything, everything I have not
I work all day and I’m not getting anything and the price of living won’t drop
Say “No! No! No-No-No-No!
No! No! No-No-No-No!
Get off!”

Quirky songs packed with melodies, harmonies; depictions of

crooked alleys, dusty books, salty pirates, pretty brunettes with full bosoms, tales of looming darkness & nameless dread, nights of hot booze & daring do!
Original live act; either given an acoustic skiffle or alternative electric treatment depending on the vibe.
