Having just read 'White Chappell, Scarlet Tracings' by Iain Sinclair, I think the lyric is: "Manac Es Cem, JK", which is the initials of all the Jack the Ripper victims (as well as the section titles of Sinclair's book), combined with the initials of JK Stephen, or 'Jem', the misogynist who was incarcerated at the Northampton Asylum.

Abba zabba gabba gabba hey Jude googa joo

Finally, the lyrics:
John signs clearly on the water
Says the queens his daughter
Longs for young miss joyce
The wife he barely even knew
And no more how's your father now
He's the product of his class who
Eats the grass upon the path he's made
Lucy's dancing in the language
Shares a marbled sandwich
With mr... vinegar
From several headstones down
And no more how's your father now
She's a cock-eyed optimist
Who can't resist this
Final white parade
So she waits for godot
What's the point of all these tears
Letters of the alphabet
Are pouring from her ears
All her words are mangled
And the sentences are frayed
The black whole radiation
In this final white parade
Malcolm's mentholated banter
When he's tamershanta
Is by the colonel who he has
Alluded to accusing you
And no more how's your father now
Prisoner at the bar the raise
A job for every serenade he played
Joe's cunningly linguistic
Jenn's misogynistic
But they dance the night away
(not sure)
And no more how's your father now
Grinding signal
Inter noise
The crowd enjoys
This final white parade
So we wait for godot
What's the point of all these tears
Letters of the alphabet
Are pouring from our ears
All the wards are empty
And the beds are all un-made
Marching through the blackout
In this final white parade...
Thank you
It's likely "Tam o' shanter", a reference to Robert Burns poem
Shares a marble sandwich
With the Mr. Finnegan from
Several headstones down...
musica foda
Such a good song!

Hello!!
You could upload or share a link to download the cd please?
I've searched and the links are dead, Thanks
Does anybody have the lyrics?
Al's a great writer but should leave music alone
This is a lie!
Of all the people who've been wrong, you're wrong the most
Agreed. He is terrible singer. An artist cannot ever be a good football player
If you guys could put enough brain cells together to read Jerusalem, this whole thing might suddenly make sense to you 😂
