    Love all Matt Johnson's work (not to keen on hanky panky though) anyways I really recommend Mind Bomb if you're planning on getting a second album. The music kicks ass and the lyrics..well... even though the album came out almost 2 decades ago are still very much applicable to current political events.

    Just to give you some idea:

    Armageddon days are here (again)-

    They're 5 miles high as the crow flies
    leavin' vapour trails against a blood red sky
    Movin' in from the East toward the West
    with Balaclava helmets over their heads, yes!

    But if you think that Jesus Christ is coming
    Honey you've got another thing coming
    If he ever finds out who's hi-jacked his name
    He'll cut out his heart and turn in his grave

    Islam is rising
    The Christians mobilising
    The world is on its elbows and knees
    It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds

    It's war, she cried, It's war, she cried, this is war
    Drop your possessions, all you simple folk
    You will fight them on the beaches in your underclothes
    You will thank the good lord for raising the union jack
    You'll watch the ships out of harbour
    and the bodies come floating back

    If the real Jesus Christ were to stand up today
    He'd be gunned down by the C.I.A.
    Oh, the lights that now burn brightest behind stained glass
    Will cast the darkest shadows upon the human heart
    But God didn't build himself that throne
    God doesn't live in Israel or Rome
    God belong to the yankee dollar
    God doesn't plant the bombs for Hezbollah
    God doesn't even go to church
    And God won't send us down to Allah to burn
    No, God will remind us what we already know
    That the human race is about to reap what it's sown

    The world is on its elbows and knees
    It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds
    Armageddon days are here again
