about

"I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, de-briefed, or NUMBERED!" - Patrick Magoohan as "The Prisoner"
"Neither will we; we're just not so intense and brooding about it all - and we play guitar and harp" - CrackTown

lyrics

Callin' all units: Pris'ner 783,
Has escaped from the Education System still knowin' who he is,
Callin' all units: Pris'ner 783 is goin' around sayin' the world shouldn't be like this
Put out your cigarettes,
Keep off the grass,
Watch Public Information Films in bed
Practice safe sex - but never with your ex
You might as well,
You might as well,
You might as well be dead

Callin' all units: Pris'ner 783 told a customer to have a nice day and he sounded like he meant it
Callin' all units: Pris'ner 783 doesn't own a camera-phone, but appears quite contented
Get your foot on the ladder,
Keep your eye upon the clock,
You might end up the next department head,
You don't have to be mad to work here -
But apparently, it helps
You might as well
You might as well
You might as well be dead

Callin' all units: Pris'ner 783 has rejected medication prescribed by State physicians,
Callin' all units: Pris'ner 783 has escaped from Waterstones without a book written by John Grisham
You must be at least this small before gettin' on this ride
Remember what the last sign said,
Trained staff will soon be round,
To make sure you're strapped down,
You might as well
You might as well
You might as well be dead

Callin' all units: Pris'ner 783 has escaped from a multi-storey car-park with wing-mirrors intact,
Callin' all units: Pris'ner 783 ignores the opinion pages; he'd rather examine the facts
Cram yourselves with chemicals,
With agents and preservatives,
With every kind of additive, E to Z
You got 51 flavours, but no taste for the truth
We might as well
We might as well
We might as well be dead

about

CrackTown image

CrackTown UK

Loveable cultural mudlarks gleaning acoustic treasure from the putrescent corpse of the UK as it bobs sickeningly in the noxious and apathy-choked estuary of the early 21st Century. Blues/country/folk/punk swallowed seperately and whole, then sicked up into your unsuspecting faces as a surprisingly palatable mélange seasoned with Secular Humanist rage. Country music with knob gags is what it is. ... more
