lyrics

Well my first’s in Bullshit, but the third reSpects
That my fifth’s in tolErance where my conscience lives
With my second in Arsehole I need my fourth in Hope
But my sixth’s in hyp- o- cRite and that’s the joke
‘Cos I’m a hypocrite – I’m a contradict.

Hold on to your future
Stay true to your values, love

I’m not intellectual – I can’t reel off Paine
What my deep held values are I can’t explain
All I have is blind faith and convictions strong
And a spreading gut feeling of
What‘s right and what’s not wrong

Hold on to our future
Stay true to our values, love.
Hold on to your future
Hold on to your dreaming
Hold on to your future
Hold on to your leanings

I’m the Hyper Crater, I’m the Wee Raker
On my way to sainthood
I’m a hypocrite – and I’m a contradict
But don’t worry about it
That can spoil the beer
Really spoil the ale
That can spoil your beer
Really spoil the ale
That can spoil our beer
I’m the hypocrite
I’m the contradict
I’m the Hyper Crater
I’m the Wee Raker.
