Headphones is fine

 

Headphones is fine

All well and good and all that

But it’s late

A little tiddly

I want

To join in

To sing in harmony

Or something

Why can’t we have a head set

That doesn’t wake up the rest

The others, bless em

Who would rather sleep

Than have me sing along

I need a head set

No, they need a head set

With a gob bit

So I can sing

And no one hears it

 

Maybe best to make it

So I can’t either

(Cos that’s the present head sets benefit)

Give me a gob bit

 

All My Life

 

If that is what you’re wanting

You have come to the wrong something

You simply will keep looking

Cos that’s what I’ve been fighting

That’s what I’ve been fighting

No that’s what I’ve been fighting

All my life

 

Don’t tell me

No don’t tell me

That you listened

You have heard me

You see what is so missing

You can make mistakes out

All of the mistakes out

And you’d like to settle me now

How I can do it right

 

If that is what you’re wanting

You have come to the wrong something

You simply will keep looking

Cos that’s what I’ve been fighting

That’s what I’ve been fighting

No that’s what I’ve been fighting

All my life

 

You have your certain knowledge

And expect a special privilege

Of having it repeated

All the fleeting poise the withered

That you think

Are safe delivered

In predictable and poised

Correct by personal choice

In the things you want to hear

In the things you need to hear

In the thoughts you need right here

In tonight

 

If that is what you’re wanting

You have come to the wrong something

You simply will keep looking

Cos that’s what I’ve been fighting

That’s what I’ve been fighting

No that’s what I’ve been fighting

All my life

 

 

A Country Song (Or two)

 

Aint got long

Ask what we’r here for

Aint got long

Then we’ll be dead

 

 Went up to heaven

To take a quick look see

They looked at me

But nothing was said

 

 Aint got long

Ask what we’r here for

Aint got long

Then we’ll be dead

 

 Aint no such place

So said the angels

You can go there – but

It’s just in your head

 

 Aint got long

Ask what we’r here for

Aint got long

Then we’ll be dead

 

 Went to look at hell

Didn’t take too long

Recognised the devil

And he wasn’t all red

 

 Aint got long

Ask what we’r here for

Aint got long

Then we’ll be dead

 

 Might manage ten

Or maybe a ten times

Might be finished

Or only half way

 

 Aint got long

Ask what we’r here for

Aint got long

Then we’ll be dead

 

 Only got now

And maybe a bit more

If I go really wild

I might die in bed

 

 Aint got long

Ask what we’r here for

Aint got long

Then we’ll be dead

 

 

Aint all that bad livin in the country

All the country people are all kinda nice

Aint all that bad livin in the country

All the country people are all kinda nice

 

Daddy was a baddun used to beat us with a spanner

Started off 17, only me left

Daddy he died, all kinda sudden

There was only me lookin and nobody wept

 

Chorus

 

Mamma was as bad, she was just about crazy

Beat us with a pick axe once or twice

‘Not that bad, least she wasn’t lazy

She was kinda vicious, but her cookin was nice

 

Aint all that bad livin in the country

All the country people are all kinda nice

 

Ma brother ran away, but he didn’t get too far

All that bleedin kinda leaves a trail

Pappa found out, sent uncle bob forim

I’ve seen ma brother but he’s kinda impaled

 

Chorus

 

All the country people are all like family

All know each other cos they’re always in bed

All that murders kinda left me lonely

Aint got a sister, so I’ll never be wed

 

Chorus

 

Had a meal at home once, wasn’t all pork fat

Livin on grissle aint as bad as it seems

Once met some city folk, put em in a big pie

Go down well if you have em with green

 

Chorus

 

 Say howdi folks, don’t look at me sideways

Getta long cowboy, won’t tell you twice

Say howdi folks, don’t look at me sideways

Getta long cowboy, ah just told you twice

 

 Aint all that bad livin in the country

All the country people are all kinda nice

Aint all that bad livin in the country

All the country people are all kinda nice
