When freedom has become a taboo phrase
And bloodlust senators shout “Damn yr fifth amendment!”
It seems that this once golden land has bolted up its doors
And must go through Hellfire to cleanse its soul
It was a chance to toil with sweat and tears
It’s even worse to lose hope in McCarthyville
And they seemed to promise us their better world
But we’re stuck in ruts in McCarthyville
When the dollar in the pocket pays for contra rockets
And politicians feed themselves on dope dealings
It seems that this country has taken a batch of terror-colonels
And held them up as heroes to tomorrow's leaders

Where's the matter

Still angry young man with burning questions
Pretending words can solve all (ills)
I have reached the point
Where I’m way past caring
Good intentions won’t pay my bills
I’m way past caring
Where’s the matter my friend?
Was it belief or was it a trend?
Idealists keep selling me their view
Of this world
Of this world
Men talk of bombs until in tatters
A war would do what’s about to be (done)
I have reached the point
Where my words have no bearing
Will leaders build themselves into walls?
I have reached the point
Where my words have no bearing

Life is for life
For those called givers
Don’t ask me why
I’m not into living
Deep down in my soul
I’ve always known I’d have to go
Deep down in my soul
My world centered around one thing
The world and I didn’t make a marriage
We decided on divorce a long time ago
I don’t know if there’s a heaven
God only knows it must be better
God must have made something better
Death is just death
Plain and straightforward
They call me a coward
Of the first order
Can you see a blue horizon?
I can’t put my finger on anything
Can you see a blue horizon?
You reach out to pull me in

Suicide Highlife Isle of Man
Suicide Highlife Formed in Douglas, Isle of Man in 1987. Inspired largely by C86 luminaries like The Wedding Present, The Woodentops, The Mackenzies and Half Man Half Biscuit amongst others, they cut an impressive, if largely ignored, rug across the Isle of Man’s otherwise pretty staid gig scene for a couple of years in the late 1980s, all Jesus Christ pose and feedback attitude. ... more
