Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine

Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine (frequently shortened to Carter USM) are an English indie rock band formed in 1988 by singer Jim "Jim Bob" Morrison and guitarist Les "Fruitbat" Carter. They made their name with a distinctive style of power pop, fusing samples, sequenced basses and drum machines with rock 'n' roll guitars and off-beat wordplay-loaded lyrics. They reached the height of their fame in 1992. Over the following years the band took on new members, topping out as a six-piece, but struggled to regain their earlier popularity. They initially split up in 1998 after releasing seven albums. more »

To die for his mother country
Isn't every father's wish
But if you7re ever feeling hungry
Feast your eyes on this

Bullied beat up cabbaged kids
To be patched up by the nurse
Who's carrying the baggage in
For the private patients first

And the doctor's praying to Buddha,
"Send me to another town!"
A shovelful of sugar
Won't help that medicine go down

As the actress said to the bishop
I stand accused your Grace
Of the seven deadly cynicisms
And a total lack of faith

And if I put this gun against my head
And pull the trigger I'll be dead
But if I listen to my heart
It says, Billy that ain't smart
So I'll do something else instead
(Billy's smart, Billy's smart
Circus for the bleeding heaarts
Feed the world, heal the sick
Take the piss out of the shit
Live your life without a net
Stick your head down the lion's neck
And listen to the people cheer
Send in the clowns
Don't bother they're here)
To die for his mother's country
Isn't every father's wish
But if you're ever feeling hungry
Feast your eyes on this
Under funded O.A.P.'s
Turn to life of crime
The great cucumber robberies of 1989
Send 'em down and bang '2m up
In a South London maisonette
Unlicensed and unregistered
It shouldn't happen to a vet
As the actress said to the bishop
The rabbi and the priest
My eyes have seen the glory
I'm a born again atheist
And if I put this gun against my head
And pull the trigger I'll be dead
But if I listen to my heart
It says, Bill that ain't smart
So I'll shoot someone else instead
