Run! 

The Kings have flown 
The castle's been burned 
The fools have grown 
The rascal's returned 
Eden's now a desert 
Where the rattlesnake's run 
With battle crazed camera's 
Gunning everything down 

They're gunning us down 
They're gunning us down 
They're gunning us, they're gunning us, they're gunning us down 
They're gunning us down with technology's gun 
They're running us, they're running us right out of this town 

Bureaucracy's come 
Democracy's gone 
Hypocrisy's sitting on, 
Philosophy's throne 
They're gunning us down with the robot gun 
And now we're running around 
With nowhere to run 

They're gunning us down 
They're gunning us down 
They're gunning us, they're gunning us, they're gunning us down 
They're gunning us down with technology's gun 
They're running us, they're running us right out of this town 

Headless chickens 
Legless lemmings 
You can't get ahead 
When it's locked in prison 
Who's got freedom 
Who's got wisdom 
When they just won't listen to the bells of reason 

They're gunning us down 
They're gunning us down 
They're gunning us, they're gunning us, they're gunning us down 
They're gunning us down with technology's gun 
They're running us, they're running us right out of this town 

Run!

Gunning Us Down by The Munroes

I came into your World with a heart full of love 
I got a raw deal, I was never enough 
The more I gave out, the less I got 
Like a slave enslaved in a labour of love (cold love, cold love) 

When love is hiding, it can't be found 
When no body's smiling cause no body's around 
The rainbow always reigns, over and below 
It may sooth your pain, when your lover is slow (so slow, so slow) 

Wake up my heart, break through my mask 
Make a new start, lets break away from the past 
Wake up my heart, break through my mask 
Make a new start, lets break away from the past 

Then outta the blue, you gave me a smile 
When some truth in you, set fire to denial, 
My love for you is sleeping, like a pearl in disguise, 
A jewel that's so cruel, that it burns me inside (inside, inside) 

Wake up my heart, break through my mask 
Make a new start, lets break away from the past 
Wake up my heart, break through my mask 
Make a new start, lets break away from the past 

Love is so fragile, yet strong in a lie, 
Always on trial because inside is so shy, 
A head on the outside is so hard to love, 
When a heart on the inside has run outta luck 

Wake up my heart, break through my mask 
Make a new start, lets break away from the past 
Wake up my heart, break through my mask 
Make a new start, lets break away from the past

Wake Up My Heart by The Munroes

I'm gonna go to university 
I'm gonna get a loan not a bursary 
I'm gonna get a credit card for Glastonbury 
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) 

I'm gonna go to university 
I'm gonna get a first in hypocrisy 
To understand this curse in democracy 
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah) 

Borrow, borrow, there's no tomorrow 
A system with no wisdom is a prison full of sorrow 
Borrow, borrow, there's no tomorrow 
A system that won't listen is the prison of tomorrow 

I'm gonna go to university, borrow loads of dough for eternity 
Cause tomorrow's on the dole that's a certainty 
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) 

I'm gonna go to university 
I'm gonna sow a seed with some poetry 
To show this greedy system is a mercenary 
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah) 

Borrow, borrow, there's no tomorrow 
A system with no wisdom is a prison full of sorrow 
Borrow, borrow, there's no tomorrow 
A system that won't listen is the prison of tomorrow 

I'm gonna go to university, gonna get a first in psychology 
To get some loony bird to come and flirt with me 
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) 

I'm gonna go to university, I'm gonna study anthropology 
To see if Charlie Darwin was a chimpanzee 
(Yeah, yeah, yeah. oh yeah) 

Borrow, borrow, there's no tomorrow 
A system with no wisdom is a prison full of sorrow 
Borrow, borrow, there's no tomorrow 
A system that won't listen is the prison of tomorrow 

I won't need to go to university 
When I leave this crazy World of hypocrisy 

Cause I'm gonna rock my soul for eternity 
I'm gonna rock my soul for eternity 
I'm gonna rock my soul for eternity 
I'm gonna rock my soul for eternity

I'm Gonna Go To University The Munroes

Top Shelf Lily have you lost yourself? 
On the top shelf with your low self worth? 
What about your father, your mother and brother? 
And all the little children that see you on the cover? 

Top Shelf Lily I see you everywhere 
In a low class World that is souless and bare 
Yesterdays edition broke my heart 
When I thought I saw my sister in your photograph 

You don't turn me on, when you've got nothing on 
You don't turn me on, you don't turn me on 
You don't turn me on when you've got nothing on 
You don't turn me on, you don't turn me on 
You don't turn me on, when you've got nothing on 

Top Shelf Lily you gotta love yourself 
Get off that shelf, rediscover yourself 
You could be my baby or somebody's mother 
You could be my lady if you wanna be my lover 

Well? 

But you don't turn me on, when you've got nothing on 
You don't turn me on, you don't turn me on 
You don't turn me on when you've got nothing on 
You don't turn me on, you don't turn me on 
You don't turn me on, when you've got nothing on 

Then you'll turn me on 
Cos that's where you belong 
Displaying your spirit like a magic wand 
Cos that's the magic that turns me on 

But you don't turn me on, when you've got nothing on 
You don't turn me on, you don't turn me on 
You don't turn me on when you've got nothing on 
You don't turn me on, you don't turn me on 
You don't turn me on when you've got nothing on 

No you don't turn me on when you've got nothing on 
No you don't turn me on when you've got nothing on 
When you've got nothing on 
When you've got nothing on

Top Shelf Lily by The Munroes

I can't play conkers in my school 
Since Big Bang Bonkers changed the rules 
I can't hang out in my favourite rags 
Cos Jack's been hung with my favourite flag 

Does our culture have a future? 
Does our future have a culture? 
Is Big Brother just a vulture? 
Or a lover of our culture? 

I'm so confused 
I'm so confused 
I don't know who is who 
I'm so confused 
Who is screwing who? 
Is it me or is it you? 

Can't use red ink to mark your work 
Cos an angry colour might make it worse 
Take that cross off a hot cross bun 
Don't make George cross 
He's an Englishman 

I'm so confused 
I'm so confused 
I don't know who is who 
I'm so confused 
Who is screwing who? 
Is it me or is it you? 

You can't do this 
You can't do that 
I'm so confused 
At where it's at 
Is night time day? 
Is day time night? 
If I say slave is that alright? 

I'm so confused 
I'm so confused 
I don't know who is who 
I'm so confused 
Who is screwing who? 
Is it me or is it you?

So Confused by The Munroes

I don't wanna take another birth (sha la la la)
In this ego crazy universe (sha la la la)
I'm going back home to the rainbow sun (sha la la la)
I'm going back home to the rainbow sun (sha la la la)

I'm going to a world where no one dies (sha la la la)
Away from this hell of material lies (sha la la la)
I'm going back home to the rainbow sun (sha la la la)
I'm going back home to the rainbow sun (sha la la la)

I'm gonna fly away when I die
When I say goodbye to planet earth
Won't have to slave away everyday
Just to get paid to pay for my grave

I'm gonna break free from these globalised chains (sha la la la)
And flow with the stream where my soul always reigns (sha la la la)
I'm going back home to the rainbow sun (sha la la la)
I'm going back home to the rainbow sun (sha la la la)

I'm gonna fly away when I die
When I say goodbye to planet earth
Won't have to slave away everyday
Just to get paid to pay for my grave
I'm gonna get an education that touches my heart (sha la la la)
Not an education that tears me apart (sha la la la)
I'm going back home to the rainbow sun (sha la la la)
I'm going back home to the rainbow sun (sha la la la)

I'm gonna fly away when I die
When I say goodbye to planet earth
I'm gonna fly away when I die
When I say goodbye to planet earth

I'm gonna fly away when I die
When I say goodbye to planet earth
Won't have to slave away everyday
Just to get paid to pay for my grave
Just to get paid to pay for my grave

Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la

Cos everything I own was in the pocket of my jacket,
I've still got my jeans where I keep my blow

Tell the jockey jackanory before I board the plane

Don't know where I'm going 
Gonna do it again

FAKE YOU HOME by Bobby Munro

Show me lying in the dirt
Hold me ripping off my shirt
Own me, only what I’m worth
You should’ve known better, should’ve known better

What’s that knocking round my head?
Something, someone else said?
Show me the way to go home
You should’ve known better, known better

Last night, you were so embarrassing
I saw you on the TV
You were so embarrassing
Last night, you were so embarrassing
I watched you on the TV
You were so embarrassing to me

Love me only at my worst
See me, I saw you first
6 o’clock and that’s that
Should’ve known better, known better

Last night, you were so embarrassing
I saw you on the TV
You were so embarrassing
Last night, you were so embarrassing
I watched you on the TV
You were so embarrassing to me

(GUITAR SOLO)

I gave you many words, you threw them all away
I gave you many words, you threw them all away

(GUITAR SOLO)

Show me lying in the dirt, hold me ripping off my shirt
Should’ve known better, known better

Last night, you were so embarrassing
I saw you on the TV
You were so embarrassing
Last night, you were so embarrassing
I watched you on the TV
You were so embarrassing to me

You were so embarrassing to me
You were so embarrassing to me
You were so embarrassing
