Album :: Politicians aren't
the People I meet
Politicians aren’t the People I meet exhibits yet another slight change in Devine Lies ever emerging style and is probably their most accessible and lyrical to date. A mixture of songs about diverse topics ranging from scathing Political Comment to plaintive love (or perhaps lust!), Politicians aren’t the People I meet really is an album to listen and enjoy.
Who could not agree with the words and sentiment of the title track, Politicians aren’t the People I meet. Sharp comment indeed, as indeed is Save it for Yourself. These gems rub shoulders with tracks such as I Want You, a song about lust, pure and simple.

Lyrics ::Prying Minds
Seems
Seems like a story
Seems
To good to be true
Seems
Like I love you
Seems
Like you love me too
If only we could
Get away sometime
Far from people’s
Prying minds
Try
Try to remember
Try
To think back when
We
Were both young
We
Were just friends
If only we could
Get away sometime
Far from people’s
Prying minds
Time
Time just fly’s by
Time
Slips through our hands
We’re
Just getting older
We’ve
Got to make some plans
If only we could
Get away sometime
Far from people’s
Prying minds
Life’s
Life’s full of decisions
Life
Ours to compromise
Enough
Of doing the right thing
Let’s leave
Don’t apologize
If only we could
Get away sometime
Far from people’s
Prying minds
Lyrics :: Please come back
What have I done
Now you’ve cut and run
Never meant to hurt you
Never meant to spun you
Please come back
Try and forget
Please come back
You’ll have no regrets
Just a moment of madness
Cause of so much sadness
I should never have been tempted
How foolishly I acted
Please come back
Try and forget
Please come back
You’ll have no regrets
I know I said it before
But this time I mean it even more
I’ll never cheat again
Tie me up with a ball and chain
Please come back
Try and forget
Please come back
You’ll have no regrets
Lyrics :: Sounds Like Heaven
Picture your lips
Kissing mine
Sounds like heaven
Picture our hands
Entwined
Sounds like heaven
All we’ll need to get by
Is make sure
Love’s on our side
Sounds like heaven
Picture a day
Alone at Last
Sounds like heaven
Picture a night
Unsurpassed
Sounds like heaven
All we’ll need to get by
Is make sure
Love’s on our side
Sounds like heaven
Hold my hand
Keep it tight
Hold my hand
Think of tonight
We won’t let them
Shake our joy
No matter what tricks
They employ
Picture a night
Of passion and charm
Sounds like heaven
Picture the dawn
Waking in my arms
Sounds like heaven
All we’ll need to get by
Is make sure
Love’s on our side
Sounds like heaven
Lyrics :: I Want you
I see the Sun
See the sun
On your face
It reminds me
I want you
I see the stars
Stars reflection
In your eyes
They remind me
I want you
I dream everyday
Your lithe body
Your gentle way
I need
To live that dream
I don’t know
If my scheming
Can come true
Maybe I imagined
I want you
I think of how close
How close
We came
Memories remind me
I want you
Passion to see
To see what you
Thought of me
Passion reminds me
I want you
I dream everyday
Your lithe body
Your gentle way
I need
To live that dream
I don’t know
If my scheming
Can come true
Maybe I imagined
I want you
Lyrics :: I Want to Have it Easy
Black Days
Forever night
Crossroads of doubt
Grey tones
Defied by light
Logic’s last rout
Why is it all so tough
I want to have it easy
You can’t get enough
I want to have it easy
I want to have you easy
Loves lost
Final days
Who says you can’t
Have it all ways
Loves no
Singular affair
Hiding in
Its twilight lair
I want to have it easy
I want to have you easy
Scene’s set
Final stand
Plateau of chance
Weapons drawn
Trenches spanned
Final dance
Why is it all so tough
I want to have it easy
You can’t get enough
I want to have it easy
I want to have you easy
Lyrics :: Politicians aren't the People I meet
Walking
Through shady streets
Wondering
Who I’ll meet
Luck’s been
Out of late
Probably
Someone I hate
Who knows
What’s in store
Gordon Brown or
Some old whore
Would you
Know who was who
Easy
Gordon will make you spew
Been down on my luck
Been down in the streets
Politicians aren’t
The people I meet
Wake me
When the nightmares gone
Leave me
Until the break of dawn
Went down
To the park
To see if my
Bad luck would last
Had a drink
With soapy Joe
Resident since
The last snow
I asked him
If all was clear
He told me
Don’t get too near
Yesterday
When he awoke
He found Mandelson
Stealing from his cloak
Been down on my luck
Been down in the streets
Politicians aren’t
The people I meet
Wake me
When the nightmares gone
Leave me
Until the break of dawn
Had to
Try on impulse
Somewhere
Somewhere else
The Underground
Was my only chance
To meet someone
In a sweet ambience
I passed the buskers
On my way down
To the Platform
Into town
At last I thought
My lucks is in
Sitting there
Was Idi Amin
Been down on my luck
Been down in the streets
Politicians aren’t
The people I meet
Thank god
I’m still sane
Never want to see
A politician again
Lyrics :: Seize the Day
A jeweled head
Clasped in your hand
A rapier
Resting on the stand
Grab the light
Seize the day
White sails
Against a backdrop so blue
Forced by winds
To world’s new
Grab the night
Seize the day
Pounding surf
Rocks betray
As the tiny boats
Pull away
What lies beyond
The distant shore
Paradise
Or the final encore
Best intentions
Can be easily swayed
With the promise
Money conveys
Grab the light
Seize the day
Stoop so low
Buy in slaves
Increase your profit
Conscience doesn’t pay
Grab the night
Seize the day
Pounding surf
Two worlds collide
Greedy minds
You cannot hide
What lies beyond
The swirling surf
Paradise
Or scorched earth
Lyrics :: Sanctimony
The small boy’s in pain
His mother’s gone
He can’t explain
World’s gone mad
Protection’s not a game
It’s a shame
The World’s gone mad
The World’s so sad
Protection’s not a game
Who’s to blame
It’s a shame
It’s a shame
Wasted away
Sickly every day
Refused every test
Told through ignorance she be blessed
No protection
No birth control
Catholic Church
You need to search your soul
Her Husband went first
Their sanctimony
Ensured his curse
World’s gone mad
The World’s so sad
Protection’s not a game
It’s a shame
The World’s gone mad
The World’s so sad
Protection’s not a game
Who’s to blame
It’s a shame
It’s a shame
Lyrics :: Save it for yourself
Another day
A rainy Sunday
What am I going to do
Been sitting
Reading the papers
Rape and murder to
People seem
So intolerant
The more they worship God
Everyone
Seems indifferent
It’s all so odd
Keep your issues
To yourself
I don’t want to know
If you think
Your ways so good
Why not save it for yourself
Don’t need
Your beliefs
Rammed down my throat
You may think
What your leader says
Should be leant by rote
No wonder
Everyone’s fighting
Look at those old men
You believe
They have a hotline
To some celestial Den
Keep your issues
To yourself
I don’t want to know
If you think
Your ways so good
Why not save it for yourself
Keep your issues
To yourself
I don’t want to know
If you think
Your ways so good
Why not save it for yourself
I know
The World could be
Such a better place
Treating people
With compassion
Seems alien to our race
Forget about
The old doctrines
They just don’t seem to work
Popes Priests
Mullahs and Jihad
It’s all berserk
Keep your issues
To yourself
I don’t want to know
If you think
Your ways so good
Why not save it for yourself
Lyrics :: Plastic Cheese
You think
Westlife sound like Mozart
You think
Spice Girls are cool
You think
Harry Potters by Shakespeare
You think
Einstein’s a fool
Ten GCSE’s
And a Labour Degree
What are you aiming to be
You’re just like
Plastic Cheese
Give me Cheddar
Plastic Cheese
You’re just like
Plastic Cheese
Give me Roquefort
Plastic Cheese
You think
Mandela plays for Chelsea
You think
Big Brother’s for real
You think
Hello’s essential reading
You think
Gucci’s a steal
Ten GCSE’s
And a Labour Degree
What are you aiming to be
You’re just like
Plastic Cheese
Give me Cheddar
Plastic Cheese
You’re just like
Plastic Cheese
Give me Roquefort
Plastic Cheese
Lyrics :: Morticians Friend
Watch her Eyes
Watch her smile
She seems so cool
See her move
See her scheme
She’s no fool
Wooed him with her charms
Putty in her evil arms
Ruthless till the end
Gracie the Morticians friend
She won’t rest
She won’t wait
Sets all the trends
People starve
People die
Caviar for her friends
Knew he was past his prime
Vain with little time
Ruthless till the end
Gracie the Morticians friend
Gucci Bag
Gucci hat
Ferragmo shoes
She spends more
On one trip
Her subjects just cue
Grabbed her a Private Jet
Go Shopping with her favorite pet
Ruthless till the end
Gracie the Morticians friend
Keep him lean
Keep him keen
Like some sick old dog
Used her sons
Used her youth
Covered him like a fog
40 years between them both
Told him he looks young on Oath
Ruthless till the end
Gracie the Morticians friend
Lyrics :: Justine
Hollow eyes
Sunken in her face
Bedraggled clothing
Could have been lace
Once had dreams
Ambition to live
Everything’s gone
She can’t forgive
Justine
You only see the world today
Justine
Could have come with me far away
Your Life
Has been so cruel
Always had to
Obey the rules
You had a chance
To break away
Turned it down
Decided to stay
Justine
You only see the world today
Justine
Could have come with me to Mandalay
The girl I loved
She’s long gone
Worn away
Haggard withdrawn
Had to marry
Had to have kids
Didn’t argue
Now you barely exist
Justine
You only see the world today
Justine
Should have swum with me in Montego Bay
