about

Embryonically written during the days of The Irony Board, this was resurrected when Jacques Cachecarte invited me over to record on his new digital 8-track recording studio. Dusted off and polished up, it turned out quite nice, as George Formby might have said.

lyrics

She pulled out when push came to shove
I call a spade a spade and her heart isn’t golden
Good luck embraces you
Mine shows in a bruise
If I’m downtrodden you know the reason why

From down-in-the-mouth and out in the cold
To boxed-in and wishing it hadn’t come to this
They’re in the pictures as permanent fixtures
Black eyes and blue jeans
When I fell to the ground
It was then I found…

With a dash of hope and a flash of soap
Life’s hard when you know the answer’s ‘No’
But scum rises fast
Just forget the past, come on, get in the car
It isn’t far to getaway
