The Chickpea Darlings - It's the Light

Mister Thomas Edison, you're dead
For every Frank Sinatra there's a ballroom blitz
But nothing now will ever, ever end
Mister Thomas Edison, still pumping out the hits
Tygers, I've discovered, seldom just pop round for tea
They all work on commission and they're techno-savvy guys
This one's pushing laser surgery
Wants to sizzle out the tumors from behind my eyes

But it's not the darkness that frightens me
Not the dark that puts my feet to flight
Not the darkness that burns my eyes
It's the light, it's the light, it's the light, it's the light
It's the light, it's the light, it's the light, it's the light, it's the light

Mister Jimmy Saville, also dead
Glittering like Christmas through the north Atlantic night
Seeps on board like damp formaldehyde
Jimmy fucking Saville, still hiding in plain sight
Hey, even Adolf Hitler had a soft spot for the kids
Just ask Bosch or Hugo Boss or Daimler-Benz
Obviously he messed up with the Guardian-reading yids
And copycat high spirits from his Facebook friends

But it's not the darkness that frightens me
Not the dark that puts my feet to flight
Not the darkness that burns my eyes
It's the light, it's the light, it's the light, it's the light
It's the light, it's the light, it's the light, it's the light, it's the light

Hey, Leni Riefenstahl
It's time for Donald's close-up
Hey, Leni Riefenstahl
Let's see those pearly-whites
Hey, Leni Reifenstahl
It's time to put on music
Hey, Leni Reifenstahl
It's time to light the lights
It's time to light the lights

Mr. Lemmy Motörhead, quite recently deceased
You didn't want to live forever - just as well
Maybe you just secretly craved peace
Eternity in heaven or a quiet night in hell
God's eyes burn like searchlights from His watchtower above
Wipes out your firewall like a coffee ring
You could call it tyranny or you could call it love
Or a slightly creepy interest in absolutely everything

But it's not the darkness that frightens me
Not the dark that puts my feet to flight
Not the darkness that burns my eyes
It's the light, it's the light, it's the light, it's the light
It's the light, it's the light, it's the light, it's the light, it's the light
It's the light, it's the light, it's the light, it's the light
It's the light, it's the light, it's the light, it's the light, it's the light
It's the light, it's the light, it's the light, it's the light
It's the light, it's the light, it's the light, it's the light, it's the light
