"Use That Power"
1992 Space Songs, Warner Chappell Ltd.

Ain't no reason, ain't no rhyme
Should be people doing time
Dumping stuff in our sea, they're gonna kill you and me
Now I'm complaining, I'm pissed off
Where you gonna put this nuclear stuff

C.F.C. - P.C.P., what's that stuff
At the bottom of the sea
Use that power - powerfull stuff

Hot house flowers, burning out
Ozone gone, another drought
Too much fat and all those sweets
Don't compare with your nuclear treats

Tote that barge, lift that bail
Don't go down that nuclear trail
You can't trust the air and breath
You better watch out for that Chernobyl cheese
Use that power - powerfull stuff



"Victim Of Circumstance"
1989 Space Songs

This world is driving me crazy.
Things goin' on make me mad.
Waiting in the dole queue for money to come down.
No wonder this boy turned bad.
I'm gonna write my M. P.
Say what the fuck's goin on,
All my life I'm runnin' on empty,
Watchin' everybody else have fun.

I'm a victim of circumstance, a victim of circumstance.
This boy never ever stood a chance, I'm a victim of circumstance,
whoa - yea !

See the big fat rich man in his Rolls - Royce;
Squeaky clean kids by his side.
I get the shit, they get the chances.
I get to walk, they get to ride.
You know I'm your problem boy,
I never even stood a chance.
Pent up frustrations runnin' inside me now,
I'm a victim of circumstance.

I'm a victim of circumstance, a victim of circumstance.
This boy never ever stood a chance, I'm a victim of circumstance, ow !

What you doin' for the workers ?
What you doin' for the unemployed ?
Keep dishin' out money for all those jerkers,
Can'y say I'm over-joyed.
So don't mess with my life,
I've had to scrape and fight.
Just give me some hope it's gonna get better,
Maybe I can sleep at night.

I'm a victim of circumstance, a victim of circumstance.
This boy never ever stood a chance, I'm a victim of circumstance,
Ow ! Victim of circumstance, victim of circumstance,
This boy never ever stood a chance. Ah !
