Capital of Cool

I live in a capital of cool
Where property and poverty rule
My neighbours can't afford the rent
Coffee and cocktails - that's where my money gets spent
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8th coolest neighbourhood
I hope you appreciate this
Come visit the capital of cool
A playground for rich deluded fools
Run the risk of getting mugged
Meeting a local selling good drugs
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8th coolest neighbourhood
I hope you appreciate this
Make money in the capital of cool
From a hotdesk by a tidal pool
You see, I'm just like you
Priced out of Hackney, what could I do?
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8th coolest neighbourhood
I hope you appreciate this
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8th coolest neighbourhood
I hope you appreciate this

Everything's Shit

The cost of living is a national hate crime, it's shit
The worst recession in a lifetime, it's shit
It's shit (woah), everything's shit
It's shit (woah), everything's shit
My energy bill is a grand a week, it's shit
The price of a pint makes me weep, it's shit
It's shit (woah), everything's shit
It's shit (woah), everything's shit
I'm so sick of the UK
Nothing here goes my way
Prices are rising the shelves are bare, it's shit
Seventy quid to cut my hair? It's shit
It's shit (woah), everything's shit
It's shit (woah), everything's shit
Can't see a doctor, can't see a nurse, it's shit
Can't see a dentist, my abscess is gonna burst, it's shit
It's shit (woah), everything's shit
It's shit (woah), everything's shit
I'm so sick of the UK
Nothing here goes my way
I'm so sick of the UK
Nothing here goes my way
I'm so bored of the UK
Putin, blow it up, make it go away

Small Plates

I walked through the door, they said “have you been here before?”
”Our plates are carefully portioned, to leave you wanting more”
Small plates, small plates
Small plates, I hate small plates
“We’ll bring your dishes out, whenever we feel the urge
Whenever the kitchen’s ready, your plates will emerge
Small plates, small plates,
Small plates, I hate small plates
I don’t wanna sound rude, but I don’t wanna to share my food
Now please explain to me, how one meatball serves three?
Small plates, small plates
Small plates, I hate small plates, small plates
Small plates, small plates
I hate small plates

CRABS Margate, UK
Write what you know, they said. And so CRABS began documenting the mundanity of their lives and the world around them. Without meaning to they discovered anger, excitement and the universal truth: everywhere smells of skunk. It all arrives on a wave of snapping punk riffs and the nagging doubt that you might be exactly what you’re railing against. We are CRABS ... more
