    From the provocative call to arms of 'The Revolution Will Not be Twitterised' - inspired by the Afro-Brazilian rhythms of Maracatu - to the haunting and dream like 'Ghost Daddy' - with it's classic London narrative in the vein of Ian Dury - to the Soukous influenced pop rock musing on 18th century Cockney superstitions of 'Martyn's Elephant Charm' to the epic Palm-Wine influenced ballad of 'Mein liebster Feind' - sounding like S.E. Rogie wandered into the recording sessions of Big Star's 'Sister Lovers / Third' album. Soft Power is a diverse, yet impressively coherent 2nd album from one of Britain's most promising live acts..

lyrics

Your Kind is dying out
And To Run around panicking
Is better then
Sitting down and panicking
At least that way
You're gonna get some exercise
And burn off some of that
Useless energy

You know your clan in trouble!
When your buying more nappies
For the elderly
Then for babies
So this one for the kids!
Lets hear it for the infants
Save The Children!
But not from my taxes please


Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah  

Ahhhhh 

Ahhhhh

Ahhhhh 



The white working class disappears
But don't come look for sympathy
Cos you've had your time
And that'll do for the likes of you
The future is zero growth
But continued prosperity
And scaling down
Of the military
Your country no longer needs
You to dye for it , there for
There really is no use
For you any more

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah  

Ahhhhh 

Ahhhhh

Ahhhhh 



Now your a fully paid up member of the fallen under class
The aspirational deviant from a Dickensian past
Now your a burden on our society, all hands out and mouths to be feed
you're antiquated, landed gentry, we need you any more!
You're a Vanishing Breed



Well you no longer make the cars
You no long mine the coal
And the call centres
Have all gone to India
On spiritual package deal
To find themselves
So for the last time please
Hang up your tools on the shelf

I got a notice this morning
"Jesus just joint spotify"
Although I found it amusing
I still can't decide
Wether to sing Hosanna
Or to check out his play list
Too see if the devil really does have the best tunes
Or is there some I might have missed

Is there some I might have missed?!!! x 4




Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah  

Ahhhhh 

Ahhhhh

Ahhhhh 



Now your a fully paid up member of the fallen under class
An aspirational deviant from a Dickensian past
Now your a burden on our society, all hands out and mouths to be feed
Antiquated, Like landed gentry, We need you any more!
Your a Vanishing Breed

Al Al AlAl, Al Al AlAl, Al AlAl Al AlAl Al AlAl...sing along now! We're gonna work so hard!!!!...etc!
