ATTN FRIENDS: GOGOL BORDELLO ARE OFFICIALLY BOYCOTTING ARIZONA IN RESPONSE TO SB 1070. READ EUGENE'S STATEMENT THEN JOIN THE FIGHT BY SIGNING THE PETITION AT THE SOUND STRIKE.

LIVELY ARTS - THE DAMNED
i'm gonna stay in bed all day
i'm not gonna hear a word you say
it's gonna be a life of style for me
electric blankets,pillows,fire,and tv
chorus :
take a look outside
those lively arts are on the slide
and culture's just a bore
when you're angry ,young and poor
but if i got my way
those idle rich would pay
when the discussion starts
on the lively arts
i'm gonna be a lazy slob
stuff the folks and sod the job
and tell the foreman that i'm ill
and in a week i'll be here still
yes i will
"Lively Arts" is a single released by The Damned.
Big Beat, budget imprint of Chiswick Records, followed up their belated release of "Wait for the Blackout" as a single with the release of another track from The Black Album, "Lively Arts". Like all of Big Beat's Damned reissues, the single failed to chart, not helped by the band not promoting it (they had recently released the new LP Strawberries on Bronze Records) and partly due to the track having been available on the album for two years.
