Don't Fuck With Chuck


Happy Halloween........

Run In Furs (lyrics)

He couldn't find the light
though he held on tight
and put up a fight
She was searching hard
down in the yard
but that was never enough
I, i know that you try
try to make it work
yet you still wonder why
And so, what would you do
if i said to you
that baby we were through

But here we are
you know that we can never change
time might pass
but baby we can never last

We were standing in line
going out of our minds
just passing time
The doctor, yeah he was good
you know what i mean
he didn't know if we should
but knew that we would
So he fixed you up
and gave you your shots
told you what to do
and who was who
Now the problem is
i've gotta go so we'll never know

Her Majesties Request (lyrics)

I've tried and tried so many times
but its just so hard
i've tried and tried so many times
but its just so hard

Not what you say
not what you do
not where you go
nor, who you know
I'm not the second
i'm not the third
i'm not the first
and i'm not the last

Maybe you think that you've won the prize
but you're just telling lies
no-one around will help you out
there's no alibi's

When i see you standing there
i just don't care
and when i see your cards laid bare
i'll just sit and stare

So i guess thats the way
and i know that you cant say
Well wouldn't you like to know
but baby you're not around

I'm Not Your Stepping Stone

I Don't Care For Jesus (lyrics)

Hassle me you want me dead
driving me straight out of my head
looks like honey
tastes like money

And i don't care for Jesus
i don't care what they say
i wasn't free
i didn't want to be

When it's grey it feels so good
you want to cry, well i want to die
everyday is like the last
it's been & gone, you know that it's passed

And i don't care for Jesus
i don't care what they say
i wasn't free
i didn't want to be

Over the hills and far away
John and Candy go to play
nobody knows, nobody sees
you want to go but you don't want to be
drop the bomb and sign the form
you've never cared since the day you were born

with a little help from my friends

Sunshine

sunshine to my window
early morning i wanna see
now and then we figure it out
now and then we get on out
do you find the energy in you
slowly turning into blue
\\\
Today was a slow one.
Tomorrow we practice.

The Rain On The Streets

Now she wants
whats not hers
so she can be
and she'll take
what she can till
you can't see

But thats the way it'll be
and thats the way it'll be

The rain on the streets
falls down hard
in my mind
but it's a sunny day
and it doesn't
look too kind

but thats the way it'll be
and thats the way it'll be

Leslie Gore - Maybe I Know

You're So Plastic

You ain't what you used to be
you've have four face lifts your only 23
nobody turns on the street
but there not the ones you want to meet

Oh baby you're so plastic
but ain't that fantastic

And when you want to get it on
you spread yourself wide on the lawn
but when i see you take off your pants
you send me straight back to France

Oh baby you're so plastic
but ain't that fantastic

Dressed in diamonds, some fine, fine threads
just be careful you don't wind up dead
something big is bound to come along
watch out that you're not too down

For the matinee performance

Back to Blighty





Check this out.....

An ever growing source of inspiration from our guitarist Andrew - It Owes Me A Living

Breakfast In Berlin (part 1)

Breakfast in Berlin today
where were you when I tried to say
waiting for a friend with you
drink and cigarette in your hand
went to pick up your prescription
I still don’t understand your diction
breakfast in Berlin today
where were you when I tried to say

Oh oh oh
this story’s really getting old
Oh oh oh
you said that I should be more bold

Something vintage

In the docks we wait.

Finished another rehearsal with the whole band, everyone is getting tighter, the songs are getting better.
The ship is shaping up for set sail.
Not long now hopefully!
We have good ideas and good intentions. Just wait.....

Heaven Please Spare Us

It was a shock to see
and I didn’t believe
everything going so well
So when the day was done
and I called you “hun”

Oh heaven please spare us
there’s nothing between us
the days pass the nights are so long
You said it was right
but it gave me a fright

Get me back home
I’ve been gone far too long
anywhere, oh anywhere
anywhere but there

You once told me
about a no name place
we could disappear without a trace


I thought I might cry
when I saw you again
we met and nothing had changed
So I rang the bell
with a sigh said “oh Hell”

Nothing and no one
except maybe the gun
could take what we might call fun

Everyday Likeness lyrics

Everyday likeness, your Royal Highness
but in body and spirit you love to hit
trampled and stamped, quite camp in pants
household chores they’re more of a bore

Lay me down, im going down
I’ve got to go

Out in the fields
tell me how do you feel?
Her Majesty said “I want him dead
off with his head I want him dead”

Lay me down, because I’m going down
I’ve got to go

So do you know what she said
when I saw her on the street and
she was wearing red, white & blue
she said to me “you know son
you ain’t never gonna be no good,
so why don’t you just move on over,
and let me on down”
Well I said, that “I’m already there”

So lay me down, I’m going down
I’ve got to go

High Plains Drifter



Peter Sellers

Did you ever tell your mother?

Did you ever tell your mother
about the time that you had another
you told me what you wanted to be
don’t tell me though because I can see

What if we took our time
what if we learnt our lines

I have stolen and I have taken
it wasn’t a very good lesson
why couldn’t you be the one
that I read about in the Sun

You’ve been working in the grocery store
and you say that life is such a bore
you moan about the passing of time
but you never said “will you be mine”

News

We have been rehearsing like mad dogs (though still without a name) for a month now, getting ever closer to our first shows. The band is Andrew Mailliard on guitar, Tom Morrill on Bass, Rea Concepcion on drums and myself singing and playing rhythm guitar. A blend of influences though mainly rooted in early eighties British bands like The Smiths, Stone Roses, Echo & The Bunnymen etc. We should have some demos to put out soon, but until then i will be posting lyrics and updates on how we are doing, so in a way this blog is mainly a forum for the band but also an insight to the forces behind it. Hears to Old England & the Revolution.

Where Do You Hide Your Heart



Pete & Dud

Nail In The Coffin

Someone tried to tell me as I
watched the TV last night
that there’s more to life
and you can see it if you like
but oh aren’t you a sight
 
And why does it seem so hard
to kill the one that you love
it took me a while to work out
what I worked out
It was the nail in the coffin
that put me away
now your dead and I am laughing
from my grave
at last you had found the fame
that you once did crave
 
There was murder, silence
then heartbreak more violence
blood left on her sleeve
it was then that I knew
I couldn’t go
 
Someone tried to call me as I
switched on the radio
that there’s more to life
and you can have it if you like
but oh aren’t you a sight

You Once Had A Child

Is it really such a hideous thing
to live a life in which you can win
and if no one believes in you
and if no one believes in you

Please don’t drown me in sorrow
for what you want there’s a way to borrow
I was young, I was brave, but I couldn’t say
what it was I wanted to save

I was only trying to get in
I was only trying to get in
but they told me never to begin
I guess that I’ll never win

Please don’t drown me in sorrow
for what you want there’s a way to borrow
I was young I was brave, but I couldn’t say
what it was I wanted to save

You once had a child
that came while the night was wild
but the time wasn’t right so she slept on the step
for ten years you have wept
