1.	Don't Believe A Word 01:31	lyrics	buy track
Don’t believe me if I tell you Not a word of this is true Don’t believe me if I tell you, especially if I tell you I’ll deliver to you Don’t believe me if I tell you That I know what I’m doing I’m just spouting words with no meaning Like I’ll deliver, deliver deliver Don’t believe a word For words are only spoken Empty as our promises Meant to be broken Don’t believe a word Someone’s written them for me I am only saying what I’m told to May as well be a phone directory Don’t believe a word
2.	Liz Truss's Helmet 01:24	lyrics	buy track
Liz Truss’s helmet says Liz Truss is busy Too busy to come to the phone Liz Truss’s helmet says Liz Truss is tryin’ To start a new life of her own Liz Truss’s helmet says Liz Truss is happy “So why don’t you leave her alone?” And the Kremlin operatives put nukes on alert For the next four minutes Please, stop the cosplay And put all your toys away Read the room, act like humans You’re not a fighter pilot, you’re not on the front line Liz Truss

4.	Dropped On Her Head (Tea Sock) 01:48	lyrics	buy track
Perhaps she had a wicked childhood Perhaps she had a miserable youth But somewhere in her wicked, miserable past There must have been a moment of truth But here she is, sitting there, floundering Talking about tea socks, I suspect somewhere in her youth or childhood She must have been dropped on her head Nothing comes from nothing Yes, tea sock, she said So somewhere in her youth or childhood She must have been dropped on her head
5.	Three Times A Woman 01:01	lyrics	buy track
Thanks for the songs that you’ve given me They’re all available online The Pork Markets album is free on Bandcamp Mugg and GoNads want to say out loud: She’s a proper euro- sceptic She’ll deliver for the voters And she believes in low taxation And she’s a woman
6.	Union Of Equals 01:34	lyrics	buy track
I was working as a barman in a Mathers pub When Liz walked in I was quite surprised she was with whisky distillers I thought she would be on the gin She lifted whisky tariffs, had the world at her feet Success had been so easy for her So don’t forget that night in Mathers seeking attention You were really popular Union of equals Apparently we’re better together if you ignore us Union of equals You know that we believe you when you say that you don’t need us It’s much too late to find When you think you’ve changed your mind You’d better change it back or we will both be sorry Don’t you want us, Betty? Don’t you want us? Oh! Don’t you want us, Betty? Don’t you want us? Oh!
7.	A Liz Truss Carol 01:49	lyrics	buy track
Liz Truss, you used to hate the monarchy Now you are Lizzie’s biggest fan And you used to think that Brexit was a bad idea Now you’re anti-European If you don’t like my principles, I have others too The Ghost of Liz Truss Past will come back to haunt you Liz Truss, even kids can see right through you And tell you straight to your face They hate Boris and your company Ooh you’re a disgrace If you don’t like my principles, I have others too The Ghost of Liz Truss Present is here to haunt you Would you like to see how the future pans out How everything turns out fine If it’s just bin fires on a ravaged wasteland Don’t worry, you can always change your mind If you don’t like my principles, I have others too The Ghost of Liz Truss Yet To Come will haunt you

9.	Liz Off 02:16	lyrics	buy track
Liz Truss went to see the queen It’s a Liz-off She used to be anti-royalty It’s a Liz off (abolish them! We’ve had enough) Here we go again A dunce in No.10 It’s a Liz-off The lights are on But nobody’s in It’s a Liz-off Such a Liz-off I’m the King of the highway I’m the Queen of the hop You should see me At the Governor’s ball Doing the rip-off bop Anti social person I’m the creature in disguise There’s a man with a whip On his silver hip Living inside my eyes I’m the cat from the alley I’m the fleetfoot voodoo man There’s very little that’s ever said Of which I understand Caught like skunk In space and time It’s a rip-off If it’s hers Well it must be mine It’s a rip-off Such a rip-off
10.	Killer Truss 00:48	lyrics	buy track
She’s only been here five minutes And her gruesome cabinet “Let them eat cake, ” she says Just like Marie Antoinette She’s fucked the economy Crucified the monarchy That is quite the graduation You must admit Tax cuts for the super rich God she couldn’t care less Extraordinarily crass She’s killed the queen Now she will kill the pound The UK’s going underground Guaranteed to frack your mind Anytime Wreck the country Liz Truss Put that on the side of yer bus Oh Jesus Christ!
11.	IMF 00:50	lyrics	buy track
Oh! What the fuck? Economically risky Likely to increase We recommend you take An early opportunity For a re-evaluation Of the policies The untargeted fiscal packages Are being closely monitored The things they say, Cutting tax, increasing bankers’ pay The things they say It’s unbelievable* Oh! What the fuck? *chorus by @Cassetteboy

Stop actin’ like some kind of star Just who do you think you are?
