ELECTRICADE
Day Job, Monday morning
But I won't let it get me down,
Quitting time on Friday,
Anticipation all around.
Come down, Shed your skin
Now it is your time
Engage escape mode
Leave it all behind
You're always welcome at Electricade
Become your real self at the masquerade
No doubt about it
Can't live without it
Indulge your fantasy
In this greyscale half-life
Spreadsheet limbo fills my day
Waiting for the night time
Imagination breaks away
Come down, Shed your skin
Now it is your time
Engage escape mode
Leave it all behind
You're always welcome at the Electricade
Become your real self at the masquerade
You're always welcome at the Electricade
Become your real self at the masquerade
No doubt about it
Can't live without it
Indulge your fantasy

Ah yeh yeh yeh
I like your shoes
And the way you move
I won't come as news to a woman like you
you really light my fuse
I got you on file
'Cause I like your style
If you want me to take you more than a mile
You better lose that smile.
Want you to wear these pearls
It means you're my girl
And I know how to make my girl's toes curl
Let's give it a whirl.

BERT AND ERNIE
Bert and Ernie run the corner shop
Bert does the papers, Ernie never stops
Mrs Wilkins down at twenty one
Says it takes all kinds she knew Ernie’s Mum
PC Williams thinks he should keep an eye
On Bert and Ernie but he won’t say why
Ernie stops, takes his glasses off as Bert orders in supplies
He feels his mum is smiling down, turns and rubs his eyes
Friday evening, Ernie goes to town
Monday morning Bert does the paper round
Mr Smith the grocer whistles out of tune
He starts to smile at Bert but his wife comes down too soon
She’s pricing sugar, it’s goin’ up again
Bert gets his sachets from the café down the lane
Bert looks up from shaving, he treasures what he feels
Love can come in many ways, Ernie puts on his high heels
Reverend Hopkins knows it is a sin
But motivation is running pretty thin
“The world is full of people going to hell”
According to his wife he’ll be there as well
The evening’s drawing in, the night is here to stay
Bert and Ernie finished for the day
