about

Travails of modern life in a decidedly old school musical treatment!

lyrics

Morning Star, Morning Star
Fix my compass to the morning star
Got me a ticket on a one way train
Stopped at the border I’m back again
Take my money I'll praise that morning star

Bad news comes and bad news goes
Lots of crying confected blows
Gnashing teeth and pulling of hair
Pull out your anger cause there’s
Plenty to spare
Take my money the bad news never slows

We take a lot fake a lot
Plays both sides from a moveable spot
Uptown world through two way eyes
Standing on the corner checking out the dives

Markets up the markets down
The yellow bellied index goes round and round
The scores are in for some it’s fine
Others get screwed and left behind
Burn my money the markets up and down

Don’t eat this don’t drink that
Looking at a sofa will make you fat
Plenty of freedom plenty of time
But it only works from the back of the line
Don’t push in now please read the sign

Curtain rises no one's there
Sirens chorus with an empty chair i
Spotlight hits on the children’s toys
That’s the manifesto for the girls and boys

Words and numbers long since passed
Take your place at the back of the class
Here comes the cook with half baked pies
Burn to a cinder the protester cries
Get your tickets, showtimes tonight

Morning Star Morning Star
Your city smells like a burnt out car
Wasted time and wast of space
Toys are thrown not back in place
Leaving town had you morning Star
Leaving town I’ve had you morning star
