I`M THE POLITICIAN

LIFE ON EARTH

Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon DATE GOES HERE: from midday on Friday you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batchxxx

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves or on the BBC Music Introducing Mixtape during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance. You will be able to resubmit the track in future.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 311

Grey men
in grey suits.
Grey faces
on the news.
Grey thorts
from grey minds.
making out
like we were blind.
Grey men
who make the laws,
who do you think
you`re speaking for ?

WE TAKE YOUR MONEY & THEN WE BURN IT

Just saw my neighbour next door,
new car in the drive.
All that money for a pile of junk,
well, I nearly cried.
I said Honey, you won`t be needing that no-more
cos we`re all gonna fry, he said,
I got a wife and kids indoors,
gonna love them til I die.
Exciting times !

Missiles on the roof and rats in the basement
riot police are breaking up another demonstration.
Trump`s on the telly and the kids are screaming,
Putin`s in my bed, is it real or am I dreaming ?
Hole in my head and a glass in my hand,
my eyes are lead and my mouth`s full of sand.
Martians have landed on the White House lawn,
news guy says there`s gonna be a war.
Exciting times !

Buildings burning on TV., hope nobody`s dead,
news guy filming history, think that`s what he said.
Martians marching thru Times Square,
wish that I was there.
News guy says it ain`t no joke,
should I jump from the roof or take an overdose ?
Exciting times !

Everyday just the same

Everyday just the same.
Everyday just the same.
Everyday just the same.
Everyday just the same.
Everyday just the same.

Everyday just the same

Everyday just the same.
Everyday just the same.
Everyday just the same.
Everyday just the same.
Everyday just the same.
Everyday just the same.

Pulse (Album Mix)

From the "Inversions" EP.

"From the start I had a dream
That your world was not as distant as it seemed
As my life began again
Was recreating, waiting for the moment when 

Mind set on the climb
I’d pay this price a thousand times

I’m not giving up on you

From the start I had no choice
My future laid out in the pattern of your voice

Not lost, not yet found
As I run my feet barely touch ground

I’m not giving up on you

I tell you you’re wrong about the past
Not all the bright things fade so fast
I see that glow ahead of me

I’m not giving up on you"

Inversions

Not Giving Up (Wrong About the Past)

U wanna eat ?
U gotta pay.
Ain`t got no money ?
Just go away.
U wanna drink ?
U gotta pay.
U wanna die ?
Step this way.

GOTTA PAY

People marching on the street
sound of millions of feet,
I was there,
I saw it.
People marching for the world,
trying to make their voices heard.
I was there, 
I heard it.

Do you really think 
those big guys give a damn ?
Cos they got everything,
it`s in the plan.
Do you really think 
those big guys gonna change ?
Cos they like eveything
their own way.

People walking hand in hand
one last chance to make a stand.
I was there
I saw it.
People crying for the Earth,
a world of joy and not of hurt.
I was there
I saw it.

Do you really think 
those big guys give a damn ?
Cos they got everything,
it`s in the plan.
Do you really think 
those big guys gonna change ?
Cos they like eveything
their own way.

Saw you standing on the bridge
dressed up as a giant squid.
I was there
I saw you.
Tried to give me one last wave
then they carried you away.
I was there
I saw you.

Do you really think 
those big guys give a damn ?
Cos they got everything,
it`s in the plan.
Do you really think 
those big guys gonna change ?
Cos they like eveything
their own way.

BIG GUYS

I`m the politician
and I make the decisions
cos I`m the politician
you live with my permission.

Took myself out for a walk
looked into the sun.
Wondering what the world was like
before life began.
Then as night began to fall
sat down on the shore.
Million stars up in the sky,
what are they all for ?
Buildings burning on TV
hope nobody`s dead.
Newsman filming history,
think that`s what he said.
Took a pebble from the sand,
threw it in the sea.
Nothing you can do or say
gonna set you free.
Took myself out for a walk
looked into the sun.
Wondering what the world will be like
when everybody`s gone.

LOOK INTO THE SUN

It came from the sky
one Sunday morning.
Took us all by suprise,
Got everyone talking.

It landed on my front lawn.
Mrs Jones ran out 
the house screaming.
And there it stood
while all the neighbours 
hung around, 
it said ...

I come from outta space,
a far-off galaxy.
Gonna save the human race,
gonna set you free.

It tried to communicate
by holding up its hand.
A kid from our neighbourhood
said he didn`t understand.

I come from outta space,
a far-off galaxy.
Gonna save the human race,
gonna set you free.

Mr Jones came out the house
shot it with his gun.
Green blood splattered everywhere,
it wasn`t much fun.

I come from outta space,
a far-off galaxy.
Gonna save the human race,
gonna set you free.

It came from the sky
one Sunday morning.
Took us all by suprise,
Got everyone talking.
it said ...

I come from outta space,
a far-off galaxy.
Gonna save the human race,
gonna set you free.
I come from outta space,
a far-off galaxy.
Gonna save the human race,
gonna set you free.

Too late,
you shot it.

IT CAME FROM THE SKY

Does it have to be that way
living life every day
the same old way ?
Does it have to be that way ?
Did you ever wonder where you are
spinning round and round a tiny star,
you`re beautiful the way you are.
Does it have to be that way ?

Where`s the time for living ?
Where`s the time for giving ?
You don`t have to wait for tomorrow,
better start living today.

Does it have to be that way
Every day playing games
we don`t need to play.
Did you ever wonder where you are
spinning round and round a tiny star,
you`re beautiful the way you are.
Does it have to be that way ?

Where`s the time for living ?
Where`s the time for giving ?
You don`t have to wait for tomorrow,
better start living today.
