I have no gift to bring that could mean anything at all to you
no silver words to say no simple way to make a dream come true
and so I wrote this song it’s just another one
didn’t know what else to do
so part of me can be with you at Christmas

You’re where you have to be the same is true of me I think you know
but through the painted smiles I’ll fly across the miles to you at home
and when the laughter’s loud and you’re lonely in the crowd
remember I am lonely … Continue reading →

11 hours into a seven hour day, third double shift in a row
It’s ten o’clock Friday and Monday morning seems like a lifetime ago
There’s a hush like before a performance as we wait for the rush to begin
And there’s little doubt when the pubs chuck ‘em out
The lads‘ll start wheeling them in

Chorus:
Who ever said thank God it’s friday ?
has never spent Friday night here
Hasn’t seen all the sites the results of the fight s

Who is the lady we all love to fear
Attila Attila the hen
Who can with one look reduce grown men to tears
Attila Attila the hen

Attila don’t flex and Attila don’t bend
Cross her once and I bet you wont do it again
She’ll go right down your throat and straight out t’other end
She’s Attila Attila The Hen

Now Attila don’t swear and Attila don’t cuss
Attila Attila the hen
But she still makes Ann Widdicome look like a wus

We’ve always had our poultices our potions and our pills
To rectify our maladies infirmities and ills
Take no more cures or hurts endure be you halt or lame or barmy
You’ll be right as rain and free from pain with a great big sausage sarnie

Refrain
A great big sausage sarnie a great big sausage sarnie
You’ll be right as rain and free from pain with a great big sausage sarnie

I don’t need you to give me a good talking to
I don’t need your assistance or help
If I’m heading for trouble and maybe that’s true
I’ll have no-one to blame but myself
I’ve got nothing tell you there’s nothing to say
And I don’t want to cause you distress or dismay
Don’t go away angry just please go away

Chorus:
I just need a good leaving alone
I just need a good leaving alone
Don’t e-mail don’t visit don’t FAX and don’t … Continue reading →

What’s wrong with the sausage the burger or chop – come on don’t just sit on the fence
If we are what we eat then we ought to eat meat to me that just makes perfect sense
But now we are told if we want to get old we’d better not lozak or laze
We must all take the pledge and just eat fruit and veg and renounce our carnivorous ways

Chorus
Five a day five a day
The wholesomest … Continue reading →

Key F Maj

Well my name’s Arthur Draycott and I live near Trubshaw cross
In the same old house I lived in as a nipper
And when there was work around well I worked in Burslem town
For the most part down at Doulton’s as a dipper

.Now me mother she had babies like other folks have shoes
I mean in pairs not sling-backs or galoshes
And our old two up two down was back-to-back and tumble down
So you’ll guess the life we lived was not the posh-est

First up best dressed’s the motto and give thanks … Continue reading →
