This one's a punk song about conservatism (oh how we laughed) - probably a sign of cruel eld creeping up - first collaboration in years (thx for the organ part Tony!) - plus even more sexy whammy bar guitar!

lyrics

Without reading
There's no leaving
The muttering that clogs the monologue
Without listening
There's no christening
The faith hat grows into a demi-god
Without building
There's no wielding
The satisfaction of a squar'd foot
Without crying
Without dying
There's no happening
Worth the time it took

It's long winded
And not rose-tinted
It's so bloody
And murky and muddy
But there's no glory
In cleaning our story
And there's no guessin' the lesson

While no stranger
To the danger
Of too much duty to community
While no lover
Of big brother
Sometimes he can be almost brotherly
As young sparkles
We do marvel
As individuals are so marvellous
But there's darkness
In times anarchic
When we might miss the Circus

It's long winded
And not rose-tinted
It's so bloody
And murky and muddy
But there's no glory
In cleaning our story
An' there's no blessin'
In ignoring the lesson.
