    Chris’s songs over the last 20 years or more have been a reminder to find the comic absurdity in many aspects of our society and the campaigns to change it for the better. Reminding us that in being able to laugh at ourselves, we can then feel freer to experiment and enjoy a culture with more complex forms of expression being understood.

    He’s gone from risking his own skin walking into dodgy far-right pubs to sing songs making fun of racism, to writing songs making light of the head spinning speed in the 90s in which someone could go from leafleting against fox hunting to being asked to help liberate beagles from a laboratory. He’s poked fun at the history of land ownership and past along tales of drug smugglers robbing their van back from the RUC.

    This is a work in progress sleeve notes zine to go along with the greatest hits album which you can find at ishkahzines.bandcamp.com, and possibly soon to go up on captainhotknives.bandcamp.com

    Ideally when it’s fully finished it will contain illustrations, a finished bonus song fan tribute and more commentary from the Captain which I hope to glean from him at some point on a podcast or in conversation.

    If you’d like to help illustrate or write the bonus fan tribute hit me up at theosladehome@gmail.com

lyrics

I’m in an anarchist squat-punk band.
I’m in an anarchist squat-punk band.
I’m in an anarchist squat-punk band.
Drive around in a knackered old van.

I’m in an anarchist squat-punk band.
I’m in an anarchist squat-punk band.
I’m in an anarchist squat-punk band.
Drive around in a knackered old van.

We always have a ska bit in our songs.
We always have a ska bit in our songs.
It’s the bit where ‘drummer gets a rest.
If we don’t let him, he gets depressed.
It’s the only time he gets to change his vest.
And we play on the off-beat to show our solidarity with the oppressed.

I’m in an anarchist squat-punk band.
I’m in an anarchist squat-punk band.
I’m in an anarchist squat-punk band.
Drive around in a knackered old van.

Our carbon footprint is bigger than NASA.
But we are always wishing our van would go faster.

We went to liberate the beagles from the laboratory.
Set the beagles free.
We went to liberate the beagles from the laboratory.
Set the beagles free.

We took them home in the back of our van.
72 newly released beagles in a van, to our squat in Nottingham.
But there was one thing that we had not realised.
The beagles had been smoking cigarettes all of their lives.
The beagles they were gasping, desperate for a fag.
They were fucking gasping and they really needed a cig.

The beagles needed Regals.
The beagles needed Regals.
The beagles needed Regals.
The beagles needed Regals.

The beagles needed Regals and we just didn’t know.
All we had at home was shitty herbal rolling tobacco-oh-ho, oh no-ah-ho.
They bit us on our ankles and they bit us on our knees.
Bit us on our elbows and they gave us a disease.
A disease from inside laboratories.
A disease from inside laboratories.
A disease from inside laboratories.

I’m in an anarchist squat-punk band
I’m in an anarchist squat-punk band
I’m in an anarchist squat-punk band
I’ll never release any beagles again.
