[Kate Parker Adams]

I guess my subconscious went back to basics last night ... This one came 
immediately to mind (particularly the latter verse)

There's a shit storm a'coming
I feel it coming soon
There's a time and a place
And a moment in space
When the fat boys call the tune
There's a bubble a bouncing
And it's bouncing my way
There's two sticks in the powderworks
I think it's gonna blow today

There's a shit storm a coming
They're getting in for one free bite
I was taken by surprise
By the glint in the eyes of a sweet campaign
Smelling strongly of lies
You're the original Mr. Clean
But the closeups make you look awful mean
You're just a con man raving saying nothing new

and ...
Girls are not smiling
The stars have gone out
The man with the landslide
Has his head in the ground ....

...Before we dream of a time
When those men come from West Point

and

Kilopascals in my finger
God is hiding in His teacup

and
The (oil) companies
Got more rights than people, oh yeah
Got more say than people, oh yeah

I think that's enough for now ...
