The trumpton riots


Ow!

Oh! Oh! Oh!
{?

Unemployments rising
In the Chigley end of town.
And it's speading like pneumonia;
Doesn't look like going down.
There's trouble at the fire station;
Someone's had the sack.
And the lads have organised a scheme
To get rid of Captain Black.

Tell PC McGarry
To get himself a mate.
And arm themselves with C.S.Gas
They're gonna be out late.
We've had Kant conformism since 1966.
And now subversions in the air
In the shape of flying bricks!

Chorus:
Someone get a message through
To Captain Snort
That they better start assembling
The boys from the fort.
Keep Mrs. Honeyman right out of sight,
'Cause there's gonna be riot
Down in Trumpton Tonight.

All this aristocracy
Has really got to stop.
We'll overthrow the surgery
And kidnap Doctor Mop
And Chigley Militant Socialists
Will storm the market square
And make plans to assasinate
Our autocratic mayor!

Windy Militant rages past
With Corn grinders to war
With windmill sails and bombs with nails
They smash the town hall door.
But Snorty and the boys arrive
With one big erstwhile crew
Whereupon they bring about
A military coup.

Chorus x 2

Biografia

Half Man Half Biscuit è una rock band britannica proveniente da Birkenhead, Merseyside. Attiva dal tardo anni '80, il gruppo è noto per le sue canzoni satiriche, sarcastiche e a volte surreali. Il nucleo del gruppo è composto da Nigel Blackwell (voce, chitarra), Neil Crossley (basso), Ken Hancock (chitarra) e Carl Henry (batteria). Per tutta la loro carriera sono stati sotto contratto con l'etichetta Probe Plus Records. La musica di Half Man Half Biscuit si caratterizza per testi ironici e spesso autoironici che affrontano temi quotidiani, sociali e politici con un approccio umoristico e pungente.
