Powderworks Lyrics

    There's a shit storm a'coming
    I feel it coming soon
    There's a time and a place
    And a moment in space
    When the fat boys call the tune
    There's a bubble a bouncing
    And it's bouncing my way
    There's two sticks in the powderworks
    I think it's gonna blow today

    There's a shit storm a'coming
    Somebody's claiming some i.o.u.'s
    Because the animal's back
    With the man intact
    They had a gun at my head
    And a knife at my back
    Don't wind me up too tight
    I've been had by the balls all my life
    I'm in no mood now
    To stop dead and talk it over

    I don't need no fire and brimstone warning
    I've been a long time punching bag
    I won't run no race where there ain't no prize
    Take a look at my face
    Can't you see this ain't no lies

    There's a hit storm a coming
    They're getting in for one free bite
    I was taken by surprise
    By the glint in the eyes of a sweet campaign
    Smelling strongly of lies
    You're the original mr. clean
    But the closeups make you look awful mean
    You're just a con man raving saying nothing new

    (hirst/moginie/rotsey/james)
