about

A dark song for dark times (any dark ones you have in mind)...... and a lovely writing collaboration between Lord McD, Martin Metcalfe and myself. For those needing a bit of hope, the middle section is a bit of a prayer.... take from it what you will. As for the perfomance - well Lady Nora does it right! and Sir Thad follows suit ...... Fay x

lyrics

HUMANS ARE A BAD BREED

Oh oh oh
It’s a crying shame

It’s a shame for people
They are possibly human
A bad bad breed

They pretend to be human
But leave some creatures wondering
A bad bad breed

Don’t leave me lonely
They say
I carry the burden of life
So lonely
They say
I wear the mask
Of a bad bad breed

It’s a shame for the others
They are probably human too
A bad bad breed

They speak about stars
And tripe
So try to be strong
A bad bad breed

Don’t leave me lonely
They say
I carry the burden of life
So lonely
They say
I wear the mask
Of a bad bad breed

Keep me and hold me this way
Keep me from everything – all that they say
Keep me from him
Keep me from her
Shame on their faces
The pain and disgrace
Deep in my heart
Deep on my soul
Deep in my, deep in my, deep in my bones
I hope and I pray, I hope and I pray, I hope and I pray, I hope and I pray

It’s a bad breed

It’s a shame for people
They are possibly human
A bad bad breed

They pretend to be human
But leave some creatures wondering
A bad bad breed

Don’t leave me lonely
They say
I carry the burden of life
So lonely
They say
I wear the mask
Of a bad bad breed

It’s a bad bad breed
It’s a bad breed
It’s a bad bad breed
It’s a bad breed

Don’t leave me lonely they say
I carry the burden of life. (It’s a bad bad breed)
The say it’s a crying shame
I carry the burden of life (It’s a bad breed)
Don’t leave me lonely they say
I carry the burden of life.

Don’t leave me lonely
I think of you only
Say it’s a crying shame
It’s a bad bad breed
