This Year's Thing
Roll up, roll up
The greatest show on earth
Animals, clowns, freaks
Misfits, contortionists
Fun for all the family
Currently residing in the
'Where are they now' file
All tied up in elastic
Stubborn like weeds
They've been here all the while
I saw the Aegis grow
In good working order
Adjustable spanner
Industry junkies
Regurgitated cabaret
Under the hammer
They were running the show
Let's hear it for
This year's thing
Last year's thing
Next year's thing
Step right this way
Thrills, chills and spills
Marvel at the daring feats
Pure entertainment
Karaoke sex
We can spend the night together
I made a date with Elvis
While someone does a runner
With the group's bread and butter
I heard the colonel sing
From a packet of twenty
When will they learn?
Sick along a Danbert
That for one good smoke
There's nineteen that burn
I never saw the strings
Attached to
This year's thing
Last year's thing
Next year's thing
Jump a little higher
Live by fire, die by fire
I am the dog in the manger
Or a dodgy brown packet
With suspicious looking wires
Here's my starter for ten
Behind that pane of glass
Your special backstage pass
Hear the never has been
Meet the manager with his
Kex down and kiss his arse
And watch what happen again
This time it's this year's thing
Last year's thing
Next year's thing
Politics is this year's thing
