A song with no riffs. The chords and bass line might give an expert some clue what the song is. But most people would not ID this without the vocal track.

Said Peter...what you're requesting just isn't my bag
Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late

Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan
Turn stone to bread right away...

Annoying keyboard riff that just repeats (Thomas Dolby). It is similar to the vocal melody.
