lyrics

Save me from celebrities
Famous for doing nowt
Save me from the party girls
With their painted pouts
Save me from this pigsty
Where I sit and pick my snout
Save my sorry arse.

Save me from the simpletons
Whose knuckles brush the floor
From the sermon from the pulpit
Because I've heard it all before
From that fat politician's platitudes
That get stuck in my craw
Save my sorry arse.

Save me - save me
From this unfunny farce
Save me - save me
Save my sorry...

Save me from the charlatans
Their seedy little scams
Save me from the man-eaters
All mutton dressed as lamb
I'm in a proper pickle pal
I've got stuck in this jam
Save my sorry arse
Save me - save me
I've reached the bottom of my glass
Save me - save me
Save my sorry...

Save me from this solitude
I feel I've been forsaken
From these bad dreams from which it seems I just can't awaken
You could save me from myself
You could save my bacon
Save me - save me
From this unfunny farce
Save me - save me
Save my sorry
Save my sorry
Save my sorry...

Arse.

Songs of urban alienation with plenty of fierce, spontaneous playing", their original sound is personified by the dark social commentary of Burch's lyrics and vocals. ... more
