Don't Believe The Type
You don't think it
You don't know it
You don't feel this way
You don't mean it
So don't share it
There's better things I'm sure you could say
You don't believe it
so don't repeat it
it's not happening here
Posting comment
sharing pictures
and stirring up the fear
Chorus:
UKIP if you really want to
But, me? I'm wide awake!
Britain First? No, I don't think so
Your brain, it must be on a delay
Mad ex-Tories
they're telling stories
without a care for the truth
It's bar-room bore
meets Jackanory
and he's not looking for your proof
Do me a favour
friend or neighbour
if this is your views
I wont be offended
if unfriended
Just give me some good news
Ch.

Hopes, Dreams and Possibilities
Hopes and dreams
Hopes and dreams
Hopes and dreams and possibilities
Hopes and dreams, it's the way it's got to be
Hopes and dreams, it's my reality
Hopes and dreams for you and me!

Violent Dancing
Chorus:
Are you sure that this is dancing?
Are you sure that this is called having fun?
Couldn't it at least be a bit less violent?
I mean, this is punk rock as approved by The Sun
Macho violent dancing knocking me everywhere
Into the stage and onto the floor and even up in the air!
Now, I've got a simple theory on why you have to dance like this
constantly sticking the boot in, and punching out with your fists
Ch.
No, it's not because the music's played in an angry style
That is the excuse that's made too often
I think the real reason for you dancing like that
is 'cause you're afraid of dancing near other men!
Ch.
It's the years of conditioning that's done without thinking
You think you're liberated and not conforming
But whether subconsciously or not, you're still frightened of your own body
and that's why you still act macho when there's really no need to
Ch.

Keep Britain Rubbish
Shite singer, shite song
shite guitar player, he's got it all wrong
Tap, tap, tap, tapping
Randomly hitting the keyboard keys
Tap, tap, tap, tapping
wont somebody out there listen to me
Tap, tap, tap, tapping
I'm missing the point by a million miles
Tap, tap, tap, tapping
My judgement is clouded by anger and bile
Tap, tap, tap, tapping
My only friends are people online
Tap, tap, tap, tapping
Wont somebody out there drop me a line
Tap, tap, tap, tapping
I want to make this country great
Tap, tap, tap, tapping
Unfortunately, I'm gonna do it with hate

International Anthem
I have a question dear
if you have any answers please
to put an end to some of my fears
answer my question please?
What makes a country great?
What is the benchmark that we make?
How can we gauge, and how can we state
that a country is great?
Is it the number of millionaires
draped in diamonds, gold and furs
who breeze through life without a care
do they make a country great?
Or is it based on the economy?
The stock exchange or industry?
Jobs or universities?
Do they make a country great?
Or is it based on the wars gone by?
The number of those who fought and died?
Some for a cause, others were sold lies
to make their country great
I'll try to answer you dear
to put an end to some of your fears
because to me it seems so clear
what makes a country great
How you treat the most vulnerable,
the old, the sick, the disabled
and hold to account the culpable
for those who are left in need
Ability to love and care
Show compassion when none is there
When everyone are treated fair,
That what makes a country great
A nation built on equality,
of tolerance and unity
A helping hand to others, you see,
It's what makes a country great
I've tried to answer you dear
to put an end to some of your fears
because to me it seems so clear
what makes a country great

Quick! Run! A Lion's Escaped And He's Heading For The Dentist!
Take a seat in the chair, sit back and relax
while I take a look, open wide, head back
You're needing treatment, I see decay
it's too far gone, I'll remove today
Chorus:
Quick! Run! There's a lion on the loose!
Quick! Run! Just where's he heading to?
It could be numb, it could be sore
it's the price you pay and you know the score
Some may follow, some may learn
the price of life is less than you earn
Ch:
Quick! Run! He's got you in his sights
Quick! Run! Right between the eyes
You don't need no anaesthetic
your apology is just pathetic
No gas or air, no novocaine
just a short sharp shock straight to the brain
Ch:
Quick! Run! He's taking all of the bad
Quick! Run! The best treatment you ever had

15 Cigarettes A Day
In every life a little rain must fall
but I don't want to feel the sunshine anymore
I feel such emptiness inside
and since you've gone it's like a part of me died
Chorus:
So, forgive me when I curse that I'm still here
Stuck in a life and in a world without you near
Forgive me when I say, I just can't carry on
Not in this life, not in this world, now you are gone
Some people tell me time will heal
that this is not the way that I will always feel
Look to a future when it's bright
Well, I've given it some thought and I've given up the fight
Ch:
I dreamt last night I held you tight
When I awoke, you were nowhere in sight
I dreamt last night that you were here
When I awoke, I felt nothing but fear
Ch.

Phone In Well
I shan't be coming into work today
I'm feeling really great
I shan't be coming into work today
I'm not just running late
I shan't be coming into work today
I'm feeling pretty fine
I shan't be coming into work today
I just can't spare the time
Chorus:
I'm phoning in well
Not got a cough or a cold
I don't feel sick
and I don't feel old
I shan't be coming into work today
I'm feeling pretty good
I shan't be coming into work today
Instead I'm making love
I shan't be coming into work today
I'm feeling fit and well
I shan't be coming into work today
so I thought that I'd let you know
Ch.
The sun is shining and I'm feeling good
I've better things to do
Capitalism, it steals my labour
so I'm taking it back from you
Ch.
I shan't be coming into work today
I don't feel bad at all
I shan't be coming into work today
so I thought that I'd better call
I shan't be coming into work today
I don't think I ever will
I shan't be coming into work today
I think I have had my fill
Ch.

Sandcastles
Me and Ellie built our castles
We tapped our buckets with our spades
We revealed our sand creations
with beaming smiles at what we'd made
Chorus:
But nothing lasts forever
It's not an if but a when?
When the sea it washes over
We have to start and build again
With an unquestionable resilience
Undefeated to the end
Ellie's undeterred and building
She starts the process once again
Ch.
As I watch the castles crumble
and eroded by the sea
Ellie takes her spade and bucket
and she says 'Grandpa, follow me'
Ch.

All The Love In The World
To try and explain with no measurement gauge
just how much that I love you
I'll stretch out my hands as far as they'll go
and say 'this much and so much more too'

Chris Butler UK
Having taken up the rallying cry from the punk movement to pick up a guitar and make a noise - Chris did just that. He ran
with the idea and hasn't stopped running since. Where he's going is anyone's guess for this singer songwriter...
