You Got Your Hooks In Me 01:33
lyrics

You got your hooks in me You want a lot from me But I can see through you You got nothing for me at all Well you just talk too loud You’ve got to be in a crowd So you can’t understand Why I have to leave again Without, with you Without, with you Without, with you Sorry I can’t stay You got your hooks in me Please take your dog with you I’m sure he needs you too You seem to like him more You can have more fun with him Bestiality Bestiality You’d probably get on fine You don’t need to learn how to whine

This is the life, this is the way I want to stay here for the day Don’t you wanna come with me Down to London, just to see This is how we should live now Live now My holidays, your holidays We want to drift into the ways Take me on the water Take me on the air Take me on the land I’m never, never, never there Never, never, never there

Under Age 01:31
lyrics
buy track
Let’s travel to town in a car And we’ll park in reserved spaces Let’s eat up the night before dark And we’ll have us a ball We walked in a bar, got a lot of strange looks From the old straight men They puffed on their pipes and they rattled their dominoes A barman looked us in the face You’re under age, you’re under age He asked us for proof, we said none So he threw us right out the door We went right back in, knocked a bottle of gin from the bar He really went mad and he dived for a phone Someone held us back, The older men supped on their dark brown ale We waited for police, we did not wish for peace So we just let loose The blue boys were so in a rage You’re under age, you’re under age

If you think about your life, you’re only going to be down But if you think of what you like, you liking what you think now Seventeen, don’t bring me down I want to do what I want to now Don’t stop me When you’re not quite 18 yet, don’t want to get shoved around You know more than what you think, adolescent mind

Let's Get Pissed Again 01:47
lyrics
buy track
Last night I was drinking from a broken smoke stained glass My mate, he was thinking about burning in the grass When we’d finished talking, we we were half way there Talking ’bout the pissed up drunkards heaven we have here It’s so good getting pissed in the morning Even better getting pissed at night We just walk about the town feeling dizzy And throw up from the top of all heights When we’ve finished on the beer we’ll drink anything at all Give us just a sniff of petrol and we’re pissing up the wall Don’t bring those roll ups over here or we’ll never come to land Let’s climb on the stage and sing with the band

You're Really Showing Me Up 01:55

Everywhere it’s just the same No-one wants to take the blame Try to act a fool sometimes And no-one wants to know, they say You’re really showing me up You’re really showing me up You’re really showing me up Had a girl with half a brain She said that I was just the same As everybody else that layed her So I told all her friends, she said You’re really showing me up You’re really showing me up You’re really showing me up I love to see you going red I love to see you going red

If it’s in Peters store window, then you’ll buy it If it’s really dear you’re still going to try it Cos everybody else is wearing it, you know you’ve got to get it You don’t want to be different You just want to look the same as your mate Fashion I see that stripes and pale colours are in this week Why can’t you think for yourself, turn the other cheek Make your own T-shirts, don’t be dictated to by everybody else I know you think if you look different Your friends think you’re weird now Fashion It’s all a fashion It’s all a fashion It’s all a fashion Show

New Boy 03:57
lyrics
buy track
Kevin went to see the city to find his future home He never got his clothes so dirty, but his mind was clean He got the train to Euston station, platform No.5 At the circus, he couldn’t believe his eyes He sat beside a crowd of people gathering by the road He liked to hear the young boys talking of what he didn’t know He walked the streets that night till early in the darkened hours He crawled back to the station to lie down Let me show you all the sights tonight boy Let me show you all the night Oh where’ll you go now, you’re just another new boy lost By the pace And you’ll be lucky if you find somewhere to stay at night Sleeping light A lot of folk were talking about the young boy alone He got a lot of offers from the hustlers and the whores And when he had no money left – a favour for a queen And there he stayed until he found a high

On My Way 01:48
lyrics
buy track
Remember little Paula Sure I do Dancing im the hall Sure I do And Friday nights and love bites by the corner in the light I’ll never forget you And walking home by the longest route, cutting gently through the grass Moving softly up the pass in the hallway On my way There’s the forest by the river On my way Train’s window’s like a mirror On my way And casting spells down in the shed where we hid away for fun I’ll never forget you We ran the risk of getting caught and of course we always did And the car would always skid down the mud track Into the haystacks on the farm On my way On my way On my way

about

from The Diary Of A Musical Nobody Chapter One.

After unearthing some old cassettes from the late 1970s/early 80s, I thought I’d discovered a treasure trove of rare unheard masterpieces of modern music. Well, turns out I didn’t, but in amongst the dross were quite a few wee gems that I decided to rescue from the skip. These are tunes I wrote in my teens and early twenties – most of them never played live, but some I played with my old groups, The Pedestrians, The Innocents, The Voice Toys and Third Light.
