lyrics

GUILLOTINE
---------------

One time to be seen
One style by decree
That was the mistake

One time on the guillotine
One year in the military
That was the mistake

Brush up on your curtsy
You can live on in conspiracy

For sale is the fairytale
Of a state long dead
Your shame coronates the lame
To the royal bed

One crown impossible
Gold-drilled to the follicles
Ordains the mistake
Every blood-clogged clarion failure
Won’t shield the mistake

Brush up on your curtsy
You can live on in complicity

Empty aisles stretching miles
Either side as you glide
To the sparkling coup
Every right to decide
Bloody tatters, dragged behind
While the gutters fill with glue

The new kleptocracy is here
Kneel down and rest your neck
It’s all the same to me
‘Cos either way I cash the cheque
