The Songs:

Urko Daniels - Sarah/34 (Scott)
“She puts her makeup on;
And looks good in that dress that she wears when she wants to belong”

John Aldington – Tomorrow’s Saturday (Aldington)
“Almost done. A life’s work almost done”

Penguin Party - Song For My Old Lady (Milligan)
“There’s no thrill like a new thrill, like a new toy on a grasping Christmas day.
But what’s still there by autumn? Just the good stuff and the rest is thrown away
(or hidden in the closet)”

Nicola Harrison - Behind The Lens (Harrison)
“There’s an eye behind the lens;
It’s green and perfect like a winter’s end”

Superchap – ‘The Return Of Doctor X’ (Alcock)
“I didn’t save a life today, in fact I took a few
It’s the only time I’ll do this; I see it’s confusing you”

John Aldington – Who Am I ? (Aldington)
“I’ve got a road to walk, but you’ve got hills to climb”

Nicola Harrison – My Weekend Fete (Harrison)
"I'll paint on my features, belt in my waist;
It's a penny for my cake at the weekend fete"

Superchap – Low 7 (Alcock)
“They’re queuing up to fill the space inside my soul where you have been”

Urko Daniels – F**k Off And Leave Me Alone (Scott)
“You said: ‘I’m proud of you sometimes’
I know, that’s why I send you birthday cards”

Penguin Party – Whatever Happened To Tomorrow’s World? (Milligan)
“He’d be gliding around on a monorail train
Full of miracle drugs so he’d feel no pain”
