At the time of writing, April 2017, the UK appears intent on causing as much trouble as it can. Hopefully this song will just be an anachromism in the near future.

Artist picture
An eclectic collection of songs taking in most styles of music from acoustic folk to jazz, heavy rock and orchestral ballads.
TUT started in the early 1990s playing a punk folk hybrid. A politically aware band we wrote all our own material and had a good deal of critical (if not financial!) success with our first 3 CDs - "Cillataped", "The Last Fish Supper" and "Where the Skeletons Dance" - with an appearance at Glastonbury the high spot. One thing which was a constant was the need to entertain. No-one wants to be slapped round the face with a wet fish polemic so we made sure we always communicated with the audience (mind you at some gigs we could have gone round and had individual conversations although I was always disappointed the one man never brought his dog). The band lost Grahame Hobbs (singer) and Mark Knight (fiddle) in 2001 and with me the only original band member left the last CD "From another Plaice" was a real departure from the previous "in yer face" style - Much more acoustic and darker both musically and lyrically. TUT2 folded in 2003 and since then I've been writing and recording with various people and in our "virtual" band The Phobias with Richard Marris. Mostly cheerful stuff like murder and corruption. I've also been working once again with TUT's old singer Graeme Hobbs on a series of contemporary rock operas and contributing songs to a campaign to keep a London housing estate from being bulldozed by the council and replaced by luxury flats

Lyrics
I hear we going to war with Spain It's 1585 again And while we're there we'd take the chance And cross the border into France We're having so much fun you see next on the list is Germany Hang on though Spain isn't small We need a place more suitable I've had a think and now's the time For declaring war on Lichtenstein Luxembourg we could attack We'll soon get our Empire back Here we go, here we go, here we go Andorra's next then Monaco And if that goes well and all is grand We'll march right into Switzerland Is this not what you voted for? Did you not want another war.
