I feel like I have spent the last 30-odd ( some of them very) on another planet - I don't recognise any of your excerpts !

nobody can help me with this one? (No jokes about the pre-lapsarian era, please!)
You've certainly baffled me with this one, Dave.......

Was there a band called "The Red Herrings" or something like that?

I'll check my
'secret' web-site Dave, but from the look of the lyrics, it may be too old !

I've tried THREE lyric search engines using the first line, with no success !

Well that's a strange thing ........
I'm sure it was not that long ago - I may have heard it live at the Wapping Fibbs or some other tavern, I suppose ....

Could this be
Imagination circa 2006?

Could be, could be .... the bass player was a some moroccan guy - I think he was called Adu Lukin or something like that

Can`t remember the name of the group, but I`m sure the songwriter went on to become a major figure in the FSC.

Your money market goes round and round
The pound goes up, the dollar goes down,
Another South American Forest cut down
you need the power for your new towns

This is a hard one
I'm in the furniture trade
Got a new job today
But stick the cretin
On the number-three lathe
Went down the town
To a hm club
The sign had a cross
Through a couple well-dressed
They looked at my coat
They looked at my hair
An easy rider coot
Grabbed the edge of my coat
Said: 'you're too smart for here'
I said: 'I'll see the manager'

Here's a slightly obscure one from the 1970's but possibly could be easily recognised by Peele B boys???
Oh, he gave me a smile that was sickly and wet,
And I offered him one of my cigarettes.
He took it, afraid that he might appear rude,
Then proceeded to sell me some second class food.
Nice guy - meet 'em everywhere.. .
He said, "my oh my, I have suffered too long,
And this cigarette seems to be very strong;
I don't make the rules
I just get what I take
And I guess every rule was made to break.
You can take what you like, it won't hurt me
Cause i'm just working for the company.
From the green cigarette, he took a long drag,
And said, "i think I'll pick my travelling bag.
I'm tired of cheating, and wasting my head
And filling the boss's bags with bread.
I want to get out in the sun and rain,
And feel the wind on on skin again;
The world is large, and I've got time yet.
And, by the way, thanks for that cigarette..
Thank you very much."
