The insurance company billboard sign That lords above my head As I walk past the flats Proudly sings of     "NO FEAR      NO SHOCK TACTICS      NO SCARY ADS" Yet last night the pretty lady On Yesterday's six O'Clock news Told me how Putin is plotting World War Three Under the Dartline The supermarket corporation Urges Dublin to "LOOK OUT FOR SOME LOCAL GOODNESS" While across the road A man was car-rammed and then shot Outside Luigi's takeaway While we slept nearby The world is an unpredictable And ever more lonely place No one pays to disperse that knowledge Thus earned is rarely desired I'm done with lullabies I'm finished of singing you to sleep Because your dreams Won't provide you with the same solace

Unwarranted Calm
The insurance company billboard sign That lords above my head As I walk past the flats Proudly sings of     "NO FEAR      NO SHOCK TACTICS      NO SCARY ADS" Yet last night the pretty lady On Yesterday's six O'Clock news Told me how Putin is plotting World War Three Under the Dartline The supermarket corporation Urges Dublin to "LOOK OUT FOR SOME LOCAL GOODNESS" While across the road A man was car-rammed and then shot Outside Luigi's takeaway While we slept nearby The world is an unpredictable And ever more lonely place No one pays to disperse that knowledge Thus earned is rarely desired I'm done with lullabies I'm finished of singing you to sleep Because your dreams Won't provide you with the same solace
