from jimbo in falmouth ( my band is doin this)
To all of you who envy the life of a roving band
Consider first the implications of our rotting van
A lifetime spent upon the road wont suit the faint of heart
Its not a fitting way for dog or man
The pit looks like a toilet ,Thou' I've not seen one this bad
The p.a's made by stylophone, The engineer is sad
and dressing room is cold,and There's a dead cat on the floor
If this is what you want you're bloody mad
Screamin cryin d**h defying rock and roll band on the road
Screamin shouting pissed and pouting rock and roll band getting old
Screamin cryin d**h defying rock and roll band on the road
Screamin shouting pissed and fighting rock and roll band feeling old
Melody
The atmosphere is thin whatever happened to the crowd
you're only tuning up the landlord sez its much too loud
And the P.a's full of lager, violinists full of gin
With sh** like this you'd better not be proud
Thank god its nearly over I just want to go and hide
Pretend it never happened , go and lick my wounded pride
But the wa*ker in the corner wants to talk about his band
Jesus christ is that the bloody time
Screamin cryin d**h defying rock and roll band on the road
Screamin shouting pissed and pouting rock and roll band getting old
Screamin cryin d**h defying rock and roll band on the road
Screamin shouting pissed and pouting rock and roll band feeling old
To all of you who envy the life of a roving band
Consider first the implication of our rotting van
A lifetime spent upon the road wont suit the faint of heart
Its not a fitting way for dog or man
Chorus
