Half Man Half Biscuit - Mate Of The Bloke lyrics

Beware of the man who only shows you the best bits Beware of the band who type out their set lists Sometimes instead of Arthur Lee I'd much prefer some Arthur Lowe And with you by my side I would aspire to ascend Such heights where we'd find Tears and laughter cease to matter And we'd be pleasantly surprised By our annual water bill I'm an early 'til late, indispensable mate Of the bloke who does the PA I can lend or offend, I can mend and befriend As I help to set up the PA As I help to set up the PA I found myself being sued By the firm More O'Ferrall I'd sprayed a graffito onto One of their hoardings It was for Monsters of Rock And I'd sprayed "In Church Hall if wet" They were sealing my fate When I said "But I'm a mate Of the bloke who does the PA" And the magistrate, he was a mate of a mate Of the bloke who sets up the PA Of the bloke who sets up the PA So throw it out of court I'm a mate of the bloke I'm a mate of the bloke I'm a mate of the bloke I'm a mate of the bloke I'm a mate of the bloke I'm a mate of the bloke I'm a mate of the bloke I'm a mate of the bloke I'm a mate of the bloke I'm a mate of the bloke I'm a mate of the bloke I'm a mate of the bloke I'm a mate of the bloke I'm a mate of the bloke I'm a mate of the bloke I'm a mate of the bloke I'm lost without an inside pocket I'm lost without an inside pocket I can find my way home from Sierra Leone But I'm lost without an inside pocket I'm lost without an inside pocket I'm lost without an inside pocket
