Naughty Neighbour
Naughty NeighbourIn the city where they're hid behind galvanised gates, The citizens are feral in the housing estates, They shout about their ex's, they love and the hate, They fight among themselves, oh, they're a disgrace, They're just naughty! So naughty! Naughty neighbours, Naughty neighbours, Naughty neighbours, Naughty neighbour what you done now? They're just too busy at the council to care, Sick of getting of sick of playing musical chairs, Sip another vodka, alcoholic aware, Have a spliff and then a kip and then they take it from there, They're just naughty! Naughty neighbours, Naughty neighbours, Naughty neighbours, Naughty neighbour what you done now? Kids are getting threatened in the park in the playground, Physcopath waving a gun saying "stay down!" Shame it is is replica, oh good it's a fake now, But he's gone and he's dead, it's too late now, They're so naughty! Naughty neighbours, Naughty neighbours, Naughty neighbours, Naughty neighbour what you done now? Stray foxes on the hunt for the hounds, Take em to the punters who are breaking no bounds, Her fella's on the hustle and he's raking the pounds, He's a bully, he's in trouble and he's taking the brown, He's just naughty! Naughty neighbours, Naughty neighbours, Naughty neighbours, Naughty neighbour what you done now?

Billionaires
BillionairesAll music & lyrics ©Carlos Stein 2020 Originally recorded: Dec 2018, Profanity remix for radio: June 2020 Playing on people in arrears, living in fear with a lifetime debt, You bet! Scan through the freeview on your digital TV, Even though you never signed, ain’t none of it is free, You can’t avoid the adverts, appearing on the screen, You pay for your enjoyment, now you're part of a machine, Sales on the internet, are rising on the up, The high street economy is dying from the cuts, The shopping mall is empty, it's gathering dust, They can’t afford the rent, because the place has gone bust, They're playing on people in arrears - living in fear with a lifetime debt, Self-indulgent mutineers - blame the billionaires.....you bet! Playing on people in arrears - living in fear with a lifetime debt, Self-indulgent mutineers - blame the billionaires! You bet.....You bet......You bet! Millions of our pensioners, they can’t afford much, They only buy essentials, if they ever have enough, yeh! Everything is here is to buy, your demand is in supply, Pay it off another time, every day, till you die, Did you tick the box, did you claim the PPI? The bankers that we left to rot, are very much alive, yeh! They'll be lurking in the wood, looking like Robin Hood, Then the dirty fuckers will be sucking your blood, They're playing on people in arrears - living in fear with a lifetime debt, Self-indulgent mutineers - I blame the billionaires.....you bet! Preying on people in arrears - living in fear with a lifetime debt, Self-indulgent mutineers - blame the billionaires.....you bet! You bet.....You bet......You bet! And now they own a bit of everything, but not enough to share, The revenue's forever, but there’s nothing to declare, Millions of our families are living in despair, We’re getting really angry, at the – bill-ion-aires, yeh! They're playing on people in arrears - living in fear with a lifetime debt, Self-indulgent mutineers - blame the billionaires.....you bet! Playing on people in arrears - living in fear with a lifetime debt, Self-indulgent mutineers - blame the billionaires! You bet.....You bet......You bet! The revenue's forever, forever, forever - the revenue forever, will be there, Yeh yeh we're getting really angry with em, we're really angry with em, We're getting angry with the billionaires! The revenue's forever, forever, forever - the revenue forever, will be there, Yeh yeh we're getting really angry with em, we're really angry with em, We're getting angry with the billionaires! They're playing on people in arrears - living in fear with a lifetime debt, Self-indulgent mutineers - blame the billionaires.....you bet! Playing on people in arrears - living in fear with a lifetime debt, Self-indulgent mutineers - blame the billionaires.....you bet!

Game of Trolls
Game of TrollsGame of trolls © 2019 Carlos Stein Game of Trolls One of us among us is only a troll, One of us among us is a wannabe psycho, One of us among us is out on patrol, One of us among us is a troll, Picking on the innocent, the timid and shy People can be ruined in the twinkle of an eye Never let 'em get into your vulnerable side They'll forever tread it in until they've battered your pride When you're on your knees and you're caught in the fight They're never gonna leave now they've all had a good bite Dedicated followers are picking your thread They share it and they loll it till you're socially dead One of us among us is only a troll, One of us among us is a wannabe psycho, One of us among us is out on patrol, One of us among us is a troll,[repeat] Anything you say you'll be losing it later When they blow away the fuse and they detonate yer Looking for the weakness anything they find They cook it and they feed to the people online Now yer in the news with a bit in the paper Sick of the abuse cos everybody hates yer Who's on your side ready to save yer When yer suicidal, euthanasia? One of us among us is only a troll, One of us among us is a wannabe psycho, One of us among us is out on patrol, One of us among us is a troll,[repeat] ou're fighting in a war that had called your bluff You invited in the law but they can't be fussed The bait's in the cage now you're ready to fold Take to the stage: in the game of trolls One of us among us is only a troll, One of us among us is a wannabe psycho, One of us among us is out on patrol, One of us among us is a troll, One of us among us is a troll,

Another Man's Show
Another Man's ShowMusic & lyrics by Carlos Stein ©2017 Fact-based cynical biography of the live music scene. Chorus: One man's shite is another man's show, If yer doing it right with a proper mojo, You're living the life but everyone knows, It's another live night on the rock'n'roll road, One man's gift has another man's gaze, Nobody gives, but everyone says: You do it for the kicks and you never get paid, If you're in it for the dough then you're in the wrong trade, So you're getting on great, playing with the pro's, And you're doing all the dates that everyone knows You were towing the line, but are you letting it go? Are you calling your time before the end of the show? [chorus] And meanwhile.........back at the mill, There's trouble and strife - in a battle of will, Do you swallow your pride or go for the kill? For an easy ride - you take the bitter pill, One man's height's at another new low, When they reckon your eyes had lost that glow, As one-man buys for another muso, It's another man's shite at another man's show, But are you living yer life to be a John Doe? John Doe, John Doe, John-Doe! Are yer living yer life to be a John Doe, John Doe, John Doe, John-Doe? [chorus] One last night before you let go, And the rest of the band have all gone home Now you're under that spotlight out on your own, Just beer and sweat and blood and bone, One mans trash is another mans trove, If you're doing it right then everybody knows, If you're get it all wrong then everyone goes! And yer living yer life like another John Doe, [chorus] But are you living yer life to be a John Doe? John Doe, John Doe, John-Doe! Are yer living yer life to be a John Doe, John Doe, John Doe, John-Doe? [chorus]

Shake It!
Shake It!There are too many people walking this land, Who’d rather see your wallet or the cash in your hand, Fashion doesn’t make you an elaborate man, Some of them mis-understand, Baby oh I like you, I like you a lot, Baby oh I like you, I like you a lot, Baby oh I like you, I like you a lot, C’mon over here and maybe shake what you’ve got! It’s the same old deal at the party tonight, Some of them strangers are making it right, Suddenly they're grooving they way that they should, Baby now you make me feel good, Baby oh I like you, I like you a lot, Baby oh I like you, I like you a lot, Baby oh I like you, I like you a lot, C’mon over here and maybe shake what you’ve got! For some of them it’s over before it began, Some of them prefer the more elaborate man, Some of them are happy with a flash in the pan, They wanna lover for a one-night stand, Baby oh I like you, I like you a lot, Baby oh I like you, I like you a lot, Baby oh I like you, I like you a lot, C’mon over here and maybe shake what you’ve got! And it seems so natural to ask for a dance, They wanna hold yer for a little romance? Do you take advantage of a passionate glance Baby do you fancy your chance? Baby oh I like you, I like you a lot, Baby oh I like you, I like you a lot, Baby oh I like you, I like you a lot, C’mon over here and maybe shake what you’ve got!
