Rolling Backwards 04:26
lyrics

Turn up to vote who will I choose Doesn’t really matter either way I lose Clowns to the left jokers to the right Don’t know how I’m gonna sleep tonight Singing the same tune in the wrong key Think I’m going to vote for the donkey Train is rolling backwards Gathering speed (gathering speed) Can’t see where the track is turning I’m gonna leave (I’m gonna leave) Read the paper, is it true? Bullshit and lies and more fake news Social media, crap goes viral While the world is heading for a death spiral Politicians moralising heading for social uprising Jump on the train at the station Which platform goes to save the nation? Train is rolling backwards Which way will we go (Which way will we go) We’re heading for destruction On the fast track down below (down below) Don’t really matter what I say They’re gonna believe it anyway Do what ever I want to do I’ll just deny it if I need to Cheating and lying ain’t no sin If it helps me get voted in Conspiracy and manipulation Stealing the wealth of the nation Train is rolling backwards Gathering speed (gathering speed) Can’t see where the track is turning I’m gonna leave (I’m gonna leave) Train is rolling backwards Which way will we go (Which way will we go) We’re heading for destruction On the fast track down below (down below)

Losing Time 03:20
lyrics

Well I left home soon as I could go Picked up the dice and gave them a through Started with nothing jumping up and down Spinning my wheels turning round and round Trying to find that winning grove But the road is winding and it ain't smooth Losing time I'm all alone and I'm underfed Losing time Trying to get a roof over my head Losing time I've tasted the sweetness of my life Now I'm going round to take another bite Here I stand with my heart in my hand I know I'm a poor excuse for a man Trying hard to make a winning play But it don't seem to matter what I say I'm still waiting for the applause I don't have much but what I have is yours Losing time I'm all alone and I'm underfed Losing time Trying to get a roof over my head Losing time I've tasted the sweetness of my life Now I'm going round to take another bite Losing time going out of my mind Trying find a word to say Losing time to think I'm blind How am I going get away Losing time going out of my mind Trying find a word to say Losing time to think I'm blind How am I going get away Losing time I'm all alone and I'm underfed Losing time Trying to get a roof over my head Losing time I've tasted the sweetness of my life Now I'm going round to take another bite Losing time I'm all alone and I'm underfed Losing time Trying to get a roof over my head Losing time I've tasted the sweetness of my life Now I'm going round to take another bite

They took us on their bus to Ringstead Bay Sold it to us with the Cafe If I new what was coming I’d have surely run away 1 5 7 6 8 2 9 I’ve been counting rocks for quite some time Height width shape and colour Sometimes I wonder why I bother I’ve got the Ringstead blues They call him sir Well I call him crazy Crazy Geography Guy is making the rules I wanna tell him that he’s being a fool Cause he was the one Who made the whole thing pointless 4678925 I’ve been counting rocks, I don’t know why Black, white, grey in colour Not sure if I can count another I’ve got the Ringstead blues And many before us Have suffered similar I should have taken their advice I should made the data up But I I was too afraid 1376294 I thought I could do this but now I’m not so sure Is it a rectangle a circle or a square I really don’t think I’m getting anywhere I’ve got the Ringstead blues And I didn’t even know, that I had to Write a report It was 3 days before I wish I never found out Cause I got worked up about nothing Absolutely nothing… 1345728 Counting rocks is what I really hate Especially When you can’t conclude anything I’ve got the Ringstead blues

I’ve packed my bags Gotta lighten my load Hired a Beat up 4wd And I’m heading out on the road Heard a rattling sound A metallic squeal In the middle of the road and I’m swaying on 3 wheels Car lying dead I’m all alone Nothing to do but wait and think of getting home Dust cloud appears For my salvation Gonna hitch a ride To... Drysdale Station Oh no And I'm stuck here until Further information 4 walls surround me Outside the dust swirled Public phone hidden in a fridge Only link to the world No cars to be hired In this part of the nation Looks like I’ll be staying here a while Drysdale Station Oh no And I'm stuck here until Further information My food is running out Just one tin of salmon looking at the dust and dirt and approaching famine Found an airfield down the road with rising elation chartered plane the only way to get out of... Drysdale Station Oh no And I'm stuck here until Further information Drysdale Station Oh no And I'm stuck here until Further information

The only rule regarding the lyrics is that they can never be the same for two different performances (about from the counting and general themes).
