A sort of jubilee song, or perhaps not!
Taste your own juices, Mr. Avon."
Said the nurse, "I'm sick of doing it for you
You know what abuse is, Mr. Avon
And you obviously love it, yes you do."
Oh the ruling class
Just wanna suffer
Yeah, the ruling class
Just want some pain
All them strawberries
They're not enough for
All those open wounds
All that champagne
"Ease your own shorts off a little further."
Said the lips that hovered slyly in the void
Elizabeth Schwarzkopf never went to Gurnard
But that's no reason not to be paranoid
Oh the ruling class
All hate their mothers
Oh the ruling class
All went to good schools
When they go to bed
On one another
And then they grow up and
Make all the rules
Hang the judges high(Hang the judges high)
Hang the wise men of the realm
Hang the judges high(Hang the judges high)
Hang the wise men of the realm
Rock on Denny boy(Rock on Denny boy)
Hang the wise men of the realm
Oh the ruling class
They got no worries
Yeah, the ruling class
Ain't got a dime
They've got lots of them
They're in no hurry
'Cause the ruling class
Rules all the time

Two songs about the death penalty
Steve Earle may be an arse at times but some of his songs hit the mark beautifully. I love Robyn to bits but this song is most certainly not among his greatest works.
Still both songs are from the heart

Goodnight Oslo
Robyn's last few albums have not been that good. This is one of the better songs of the last few years. It is the title track of his 2009 album Goodnight Oslo

Another Classic Album: Underwater Moonlight The Soft Boys Part 1
I Wanna Destroy You
Kingdom of Love
Positive Vibrations
I Got the Hots for You
Insanely Jealous
Underwater Moonlight was the second and final proper release by the Soft Boys. Featuring Robyn Hitchcock and Kimberley Rew (later of Katrina and the Waves) this is a classic album and 31 years on it remains one I can play again and again
