lyrics

the anti-star plays his anti-guitar
and he sings anti-songs about what he stands for

the thumb on the fret
the strum and the sweat

so come and get a bit of what you came for

welcome to the madhouse
welcome to the sadhouse

but it's not such a bad house - is it?

he paints a picture every day
so you can see exactly what he's trying to say

about this world of fools and its insane ways
and about what makes us old men go crazy

it's a spotty dog story
It's a pretty ugly story

and this is the true story
of the breakdown blues
(of the blues breakdown)

of the blues that's black
of booze on the tracks
and dandelion clocks
and a star made of rock

anti-star!
anti-starshine!

(for kevin coyne)
