Liner Notes

Ah, technical difficulties have eaten my weekend. Here now.

For a celebration of twenty years of FAWM, I thought I'd revisit my first concept album "Signs of Life" - "Inspired by 14 pictures taken on my phone on way to work" - I have extended the reach slightly this time. So Signs of Life 2 it is.
Day 1 - In Southwark Crown Court

This song is what it is, but I feel incredibly rushed. Can you hear the frustration in my voice? At least it's one down, right? Lyrically made up on the spot but I know what I'm getting at.

Lyrics

Take one, then another
Take one. pop it in your pocket
Take one, and do a runner
Take one, don't be modest

When crime's improvised
You can't take your time!
Why don't you just go for it, cos
Ownerships all in the mind

Steal it, shove it down your top
That's why its called a GIFT shop

One thing after another
Take one for the team
Take one back from the world that
Takes down brutally

When crime's demonized by the
Fear of retribution
If you're going down for it
Make them make a contribution

Steal it, shove it up your bum
When you're done, What's done is done
But you're on the take non-stop
Somebody better call the cops

Property is theft and victory is death
It's a war of attrition 'til nobody is left
Seems the capitalist dream is just a Ponzi scheme
No-one's getting out of here with their greedy hands clean
