Hi, cosmic greeting and welcome to my lyric page for the Incredible New Improved Aliens EP / Album. These songs were written and recorded in a temporary woodland studio in south west Scotland using wind and solar energy to record on analogue tape four track (with the exception of ‘Cheezy UFO’ which was recorded at a later time on a digital audio work station). Available as download, on-line streaming and CD.
Gay Bar
do you remember the good old days at the gay bar
we built it ourselves out of bits of old wood
with a mirror from the skip
it looked real good
we put a Mrs Mills record on
and everybody ‘d sing along
and Syd would play the guitar
at the gay bar
there was a punk rock star
at the gay bar
do you remember the good old days at the gay bar
we thought that things had never been so good
with a beer from the ship
we was in the hood
we put our favorite ska records on
and new that we could do no wrong
and Syd would play the guitar
at the gay bar
there was a punk rock star
at the gay bar
do you remember the good old days at the gay bar
some day when I’m sitting in my favorite chair
on a sunny afternoon
and I’ve let down my hair
sitting there without a care
and my dreaminess will take me there
and Syd would play the guitar
at the gay bar
and Syd would play the guitar
at the gay bar
(repeat….)

The Heavens are in Sight
some times I switch off the news and put some music on
it’s a nice day and I can’t understand what is going on
’cause when I listen to the news it makes me feel that all hope is gone
destroying our planet through war and greed a world gone wrong
look up to the stars
the heavens are in sight
we’re guided by star light
and the heavens are in sight
now I’m feeling alright
so put the landing lights out for the alien
said the cat to the man you gotta show ’em where to land
put the landing lights out for the alien
do we give up on ourselves as the tears of love fall on the desert sands
look up to the stars
the heavens are in sight
we’re guided by star light
and the heavens are in sight
now I’m feeling alright
look up to the stars
the heavens are in sight
we’re guided by star light
and the heavens are in sight
now I’m feeling alright
so put the landing lights out for the alien
put the landing lights out for the alien
put the landing lights out for the alien (repeat…)

Where is the Love
technology moves forward
people stand still
technology moves forward
people stand still
recipe of disaster
politicians need to chill
holy crusade
why are they doing it still
back in the day
when darkness reign
they are trying a scheme
just as out of its brain
technology moves forward
people stand still
technology moves forward
people stand still
sending our people
to the war
the questions still the same
what are we fighting for
weapons get more deadly
but people stay the same
throughout world history
time and again
technology moves forward
people stand still and
where is the love gone
where is the love gone
where is the love gone
where is the love
you can’t stop a war
by fighting a war
no solution you know
‘cos it’s been tried before
is it new
is it the same thing again
the world goes round
but are we insane
technology moves forward
people stand still
technology moves forward
people stand still
doctors in the hospital
counting the cost
every day in the papers
we read of more lost
charging by the thousand
to the valley of death
we have to stop it now
before there’s nothing left
technology moves forward
people stand still and
where is the love gone
where is the love gone
where is the love gone
where is the love
where is the love gone
where is the love gone
where is the love gone
where is the love
(repeat…)

Cheezy UFO (Cheesy UFO)
built an antenna from an old umbrella
opened up some beans and the skys turned yella
on top of a hill with a radio mast
an electronic storm and a thunder blast
standing with a light behind them on the gang plank
a broken down car with an empty fuel tank
the clocks lost an hour it was unexplained
and alien thoughts had entered our brains
talk of a time where we all understand
maybe one day an alien will land
in a cheezy UFO
with revolving lights and a luminous glow
in a cheezy UFO
I try to forget but what can I do
the years role by still the message comes throughout
stepped into a time warp and travelled through space
where contact is made in a cosmic place
talk of a time where we all understand
maybe one day an alien will land
in a cheezy UFO
with revolving lights and a luminous glow
in a cheezy UFO
talk of a time where we all understand
talk of a time where we all understand
talk of a time where we all understand
maybe one day an alien will land
in a cheezy UFO
with revolving lights and a luminous glow
in a cheezy UFO
