    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

Uh excuse me, excuse me, uh excuse me, uh fella, uh could I have a quick word.
Uh I can see that you've just finished putting your tent up, I can see that, but could you move it please because this is a designated area which i don't want you to put your tent uh it's been designated by me and you had an email about it about a year after the festival i think if you check your emails in a year's time you'll find that uh that you'll get an email a year from today which will clearly state that you can't put your tent there because i'm... i'm...
i don't make, well i do make the rules at the moment, but uh you know i'm going to pretend somebody else does. No i'm sorry you can't you can't put your tent, i know you've just put your tent up and put all your things inside it and i can see that that's upsetting you but we won't tolerate bad language because this is after all a festival.
A festival, a free expression of, of um creativity and uh i like it to follow the rules, uh spontaneity is all very well but spontaneity needs to be finished by uh one one minute past midnight otherwise the council will take away our license.
