lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to sit back
Listen to me as I explain some Alternative Facts
Surgeons are over-rated and doctors will be sacked
There’s no damn need for nurses
Now the Ol’ Wild West is back

Raise the barber’s pole, red, white and blue
Let the sign reassure you
No more need for health care
And no need for you to queue
Only blood and bandages

Come and get a tooth out, let me splint your leg
Need a colonoscopy or a dressing for your head?
Get two fillings, a kidney and an orthopaedic bed
Or why not choose a BOGOF 
With a free-beard trim instead?

Raise the barber’s pole, red, white and blue
Let the sign reassure you
No more need for health care
And no need for you to queue
Only blood and bandages

Snake oil’s back in fashion – the rattler’s on the run
But the good ol’ boys will get him
They like their hunting fun
We’re living in a future where we’re dying by the gun
If the barbers cannot save us the fait accompli’s done..

Raise the barber’s pole, red, white and blue
Let the sign reassure you
No more need for health care
And no need for you to queue
Only blood and bandages

Raise the barber’s pole, red, white and blue
Let the sign reassure you
No more need for health care
And no need for you to queue
Only blood and bandages
Blood and bandages
Only blood and bandages, yeah.

The Strunts Campbeltown, UK

The Strunts travel from Folk-Rock to Cow-Punk visiting various strange and heaven-forsaken towns in between. The songs contain a good shot of compassion mixed with a generous splash of desperate cynicism and black humour that befits their status as The Kings of (Melodic) Curmudgeon. Catch them before they become a global phenomenon and/or are extradited somewhere unpleasant. ... more
