Lyrics:
Bad news, bad news, bad news
For you and you and you and you and you
Bad news, bad news, bad news
For you and you and you and you and you
Can't you see, devil woman
Don't you know... blah blah blah
Don't you see, screaming virgins
Don't you know, megawatt winged avenger
(2, 3, 4)
Bad news, bad news, bad news
For you and you and you and you and you (bad news)
Bad news, bad news, bad news
For you and you and you and you and you
Colin Grigson
Spider Webb
Bad news, bad news, bad news
For you and you and you and you and you
Den Dennis
Yeah?
Den
What?
It's your break
Oh, sorry
Vim Fuego
Bad news, bad news, bad news
For you and you and you and you and you
Bad news, bad news, bad news
For you and you and you and you and you
Can't you see, heavy rainbow
Don't you know, metal fury
Don't you see, demon lager
Don't you know, blood lust paranoid metal (bad news)

At 2:07 is "Whole Lotta Love", then it segues into the beginning of the Brighton Rock solo.
Quite an interesting band Brian collaborated with. They're like a cross between Spinal Tap and Garth and Wayne.
