Taken from Mclusky's second album 'Mclusky do Dallas' and released in April 2002.
mclusky with the classic b-side to 'undress to success', the song of course is 'join the mevolution'. I woke to the sound of eggs (we want our jobs back) They woke to the sound of me (we want our jobs back) Don't give my cousins head (we want our jobs back) And don't point that thing at me (we want our jobs back) As the bored victims of domestic violence Gather by the seashore. Bored. Never mind Russian roll (we want our jobs back) To hell with freeform spazz (we want our jobs back) I'm glad your dog is dead (we want our jobs back) At least we'll get some peace (we want our jobs back) As the bored victims of domestic violence Gather by the seashore. Noses pressed against the glass The horrible truth The horribillerbillerbiller Bored.
A friend I call sometimes A friend I call Balbo A friend I call truthful, but still just a friend I followed her down to that place we go sometimes And waited to see how she'd end Fell on the scene on her electron Drew her scarves from her sides with incredible speed I followed her down to that place we go sometimes But sometimes it's all that we need And I hope you stand tall, get over it all But Balbo your heart sits too close to the window And I hope you get through, I'm counting on you My Balbo your heart sits too close to the window Your heart sits too close to me.

Mclusky were a three-piece group from Cardiff, Wales, who combined the energy and ethos of punk with varied dynamics and intelligent, black-humoured lyrics. The group consisted of Andy Falco Falkous (vocals, guitar); Jonathan Chapple (bass, vocals) and Matthew Harding (drums). This song is from "The Difference Between Me and You Is That I'm Not On Fire" album. lyrics are fuckin awesome, feel free to copy them wherever and I guarantee, you'll get laid. there's a story on a thimble on a dimple, on a pea and it's absolutely true until the end when they pan out in the titles we can see you're still alive and the maitre'd is not your special friend there's a road in a wrong place twice as far out and a bitch on a bridge yeah the bridge was a bitch with a heavenly drawn out...
In 1999 BBC Radio One launched an exclusive show in Wales, called Session in Wales, hosted by Bethan Elfyn and Huw Stephens. From 99 - till 2010 Bethan hosted this exclusive show for Wales.

Secret fuhrers got your tongue
And bitches got your car
And if it wasn't for the '86 World Cup
It wouldn't have got this far
But she was unempty in recontrary
Pissed but almost right
And if it wasn't for the snakes in cummerbunds
It would happen every night
Dethink to survive, dethink to survive
Dethink to survive, dethink to survive
Cartoon monkeys got you hard
It must have been the hair
Though jive bunny stole your creative fire
You really didn't care
She was un in re and de-decided, happy killing time
But there's an eight percent chance
That you know Charles dance
And you're no damn friend of mine
Dethink to survive, dethink to survive
Dethink to survive, dethink to survive
