We were extremely delighted recently when 2 of our songs were featured on one of our favourite cosy TV shows, BBC's 'Gone Fishing with Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse'. Here's the instrumental version that was played on the programme, with the lyrics below so that you can sing along to your heart's content! 🎣

lyrics

Soothsayers lied, they said we'd find these new communications something fine

But it turns out we fight most often every night

So what you trying to do?
Signal to the man in the moon?
Indicate your charity to each and every devil and dude?
What's that I'm hearing you say?
'Culture is a thing that we make, and ours is like the biggest mistake,
Compromise is phony, full surrender only,
Worship me and tell me I'm great'

Trapped in a web with words we said in silent conversations before bed

And it turns out it's true, all the kids are at it too

So what you trying to do?
Signal to the man in the moon?
Indicate your charity to each and every devil and dude?
What's that I'm hearing you say?
'Culture is a thing that we make, and ours is like the biggest mistake,
Compromise is phony, full surrender only,
Worship me and tell me I'm great'

Just when you think you've had enough of the politics of the situation someone comments and spoils it for you,
Just when you think that you're on the brink of a thawing of tensions, the president's mentioned

So what you trying to do?
Signal to the man in the moon?
Indicate your charity to each and every devil and dude?
What's that I'm hearing you say?
'Culture is a thing that we make, and ours is like the biggest mistake,
Compromise is phony, full surrender only,
Worship me and tell me I'm great'
