The Greatest Shoal On Earth
By COD
The recording of the Greatest Shoal On Earth was started just after the dawn of the new century and this time, due to the destruction of the first incarnation of WaterRat Studios, the band had to venture to the great eastern sea of Bromley where they paid out seashells to lay down the basic tracks for six songs. Hal then spirited them away and having worked his magic, six of these songs are presented here.
Wiser
It was the darkest time I felt the void.

It was the darkest time I felt the void
Had to think about getting some protection
Finally you showed yourself
Showed me some validation
Turned me into someone I didn’t know
Temptation took me by the throat my dear
Threw me into your sensual fire
But then you made me crawl through global expectations
I found myself stranded and burning in your debris
Sometimes a man will do the wrong thing just to find his way
To see if there’s really any truth in his world
I took my chances but got burned on your pedestal
Skating on thin ice with an illusion
So I’m going back now to the world I know
Got to get my feet on the ground if it kills me
Try to find some sanity out of the chaos that’s surrounding me
I’m coming down I’m coming down
I’m coming down I’m coming down
I’m coming down I’m coming down

The Godless Louts Of London And Kent Association
The lads let out a mighty roar More lager on the sticky floor The English army nearly scored God save the Queen and Bobby Moore
View lyrics
The godless louts of London and Kent Association, are convening here today
A lunchtime packed with wit and well considered observation, Is the order of the day
So if you’re feeling slightly queer
Or you don’t come from round here
The godless louts can smell your fear
Best be drinking up your beer
The godless louts are here today
Got big screen television, swearing at the ref’s decision, he’s a dago anyway
Make my way through sticky tables, monkey suits, designer labels, as Oasis start to play
The lads let out a mighty roar
More lager on the sticky floor
The English army nearly scored
God save the Queen and Bobby Moore
The godless louts are here today, and they’re here to stay
It’s Sunday lunchtime feeling mellow Friday punchtime, seems like only yesterday
Alright geezer how’s the trouble, tell you what mate mines a double, how I love to be this way
The lads let out a mighty roar
More lager on the sticky floor
The English army nearly scored
God save the Queen and Bobby Moore
The godless louts of London and Kent Association are convening here today

Nothing Like The Truth
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you
View lyrics
It may be just in your imagination
It may be real inside your head
Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you
You haven’t heard a single word I said
You may think this is something you can get away with
But your excuses only fool yourself
Just because you love yourself doesn’t mean we will accept it
You still haven’t heard a word I said
So many questions what I really need is answers
Don’t tell me I have to find them for myself
Just because you’re confused don’t give me that blanked out stare
Find a way to speak to someone else
And if this all means nothing to you
Your selfishness it wears me out
All the crazy things you believe in
Are really nothing like the truth
And if this all means nothing to you
Your selfishness it wears me out
All the crazy things you believe in
Are really nothing like the truth
Nothing like the truth…
