Shriekback - More Heat Than Light lyrics

The Imperial disaster in it's furious decline They been burning down the ghettoes, burning down the ghettos Crossing all of the lines And everyone gets so excited as it all starts to bite Giving out, giving out, radiating More heat than light More heat than light He been drooling on the mirror in the back of the van If he can do it, if he can do it, if he can do it I think anybody can He been polishing the dolphin, you never seen a beast so bright Radiating, radiating, giving out More heat than light More heat than light More heat than light More heat than light I'm gonna use the best machines I'm gonna use the best machines I'm gonna use the best machines I'm gonna use the best machines They started shooting at the shadows I think the shadow's shooting back Rattling the cages, rattling the cages, got the devil in the sack A convincing meditation On the splendour of the night Giving out, giving out, radiating More heat than light More heat than light More heat than light More heat than light Dodgy little man With a fever in his eyes You say 'put them with the others, put them with the others - You should never an*lyse' He f**ed the watermelon women like a thief in the night All the time, all the time, radiating More heat than light More heat than light More heat than light More heat than light More heat than light More heat than light More heat than light More heat than light More heat than light More heat than light More heat than light More heat than light
