Idiot Joy Showland Lyrics
Out of their heads on a quid of blow
The shapeless kecks* flapping up a storm
Look at what they are: a pack of worms
From the twisted shell of your cranium
Your mystic jump suits cannot hide
Your competitive plagiarism
Hey you imitators, come on up
Hey little singer, come on up
Show us your house and
Show us your cock
The working class has been shafted
So what the fuck you sneering at?
Your prerogative in life it seems
Is living out an ad man's dream
And Blackpool has a Funland
And Flanders had no man's land
This place idiot show bands
And it's amazing what they show
Your sportsmen's tears are laudanum
Idiot Joy Showland
For Idiot Joy Showland
Idiot Joy
It's about people in big old groups having lots of fun. Or, now that I actually read it, it's about amusement parks. How amusing. And lame. That they wrote a song about Disney Land and Blackpool. Freddie and the Dreamers, come on up Hey you imitators, come on up Hey little singer, come on up Show us your house and Show us your cock The working class has been shafted So what the fuck you sneering at? Your prerogative in life it seems Is living out an ad man's dream Idiot Joy Showland

It refers to the "Madchester" scene of the mid-late 90s, specifically The Happy Mondays and their ilk. "Kecks" is correct (it means trousers), but I'm pretty sure the last word of the first verse should be "mongs".
