One of the last demos we ever made. I guess we'd have released this as Primal Urges if we'd ever gone through with it.
This one is based on the idea that the Clash mentioned in White Man In Hammersmith... and Hitler getting a limo sent for him if he was still alive. Our version had Jimmy Savile more in mind, who actually had a golden coffin.
lyrics
Never coming to save the day - useless individual. Under suspicion but with nothing to say - effort is minimal. Please allow us to pay your way - turn us into dust. Please allow us something to say - cos in God we trust.
Guess who got a golden coffin for the lives of the people he was robbing?
Telling lies day to day - villainous individuals.Hiding their agendas in a hope that they will seem to be residual. Keep you quiet so that they get paid and turn us into dust. So buy more stuff and play away - cos in God you trust.
Guess who got a golden coffin for the lives of the people he was robbing?
