lyrics

I really love getting up for work I’m a very good worker I would never ever, ever, ever, ever shirk My employers are pleased with me They are as pleased as pleased can be I can’t tell you too much about my job Or else I’ll have to Come round your house and kill you I can’t tell you very much about my job Coz I would have to come round and kill you I’ve got a job, it’s a very fine job And I am a very fine fellow I’ve got a job, it’s a very fine job And my company vehicle is yellow My job is a very good job Did I mention my name is Bob? I do lots of things for the government I do what I do and I go where I’m sent I’ve got a job, it’s a very fine job And I am a very fine fellow I’ve got a job, it’s a very fine job And my company vehicle is yellow Bet you’re trying to guess what I do? While you do that, I’ll play the guitar Like U2 do I can’t tell you too much about my job Or else I’ll have to Come round your house and kill you I can’t tell you very much about my job Coz I would have to come round and kill you I’ve got a job, it’s a very fine job And I am a very fine fellow I’ve got a job, it’s a very fine job And my company vehicle is yellow I’ve got a job, it’s a very fine job... .

Yes, it’s the same old story It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian Clanky It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian Clanky Boy meets girl and its love And it’s beautiful Then, things change The girl wants ‘space’ The boy doesn’t understand He doesn’t understand It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian Clanky It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian Clanky “What, what, what, what What, what, what, went wrong?” He asks himself over and over again All he can think of was She was never overly keen On his old, brown wooden furniture And his wallpaper and his patterned carpets So: get rid of that stuff Get new stuff from Scandinavia It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian Clanky It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian Clanky New furniture is not the answer If you have a relationship problem No no no It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian Clanky It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian Clanky It’s Scandinavian... You’re running away from yourself Of course she didn’t come back Now she’s married to a man named Sven Guess where he lives? Yes, he Fishes off the coast of Scandinavia It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian Clanky It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian It’s Scandinavian, it’s Scandinavian Clanky .

Standing still on this hill I’m very quiet I’m doing important work For my boss It’s very important I’m measuring the wind Just like God taught me I’m measuring the wind Just like God taught me It’s not so difficult I didn’t have training I just receive commands My boss tells me what to do With every second I’m measuring the wind Just like God taught me I’m measuring the wind Just like God taught me I don’t get money; I don’t need money I’m just doing what I have to do Sometimes the birds land on me But that’s ok Because they work for him too I’m measuring the wind Just like God taught me I’m measuring the wind Just like God taught me .

lost dog reward 03:32
lyrics

Lost dog reward. Lost dog reward Lost dog reward. Lost dog reward I went walking with our dog Towser He chased a squirrel and away he fled I was frightened, I couldn’t find him I went home, told mum, she hit my head Lost dog reward. Lost dog reward Lost dog reward. Lost dog reward Mum was livid, she said I’d ruined her life And how woman was a dog’s best friend She hit me some more, hit me to the floor Locked me in the cupboard For the whole weekend Breakfast on Monday she gave me dog food She made me eat it and go ”Ruff! Ruff!” Though my tummy hurt And she threatened to me I decided I’d had enough Lost dog reward. Lost dog reward Lost dog reward. Lost dog reward I was crying and I told teacher And teacher must have told someone else When I got home from school There were lots of people with Clipboards and uniforms in our house They took Mum away, said she had to pay I never saw my mum again I live with Grandad and Gran And their dog Towser Who we’ve renamed Ben .

This changing weather Gets me down This changing weather It seals the town I should have told you why, my friend I should have told you why, my friend One for sorrow, two for joy Beg and borrow For the Reptile Boy I should have told you why, my friend I should have told you why, my friend When you were washed Clean of your sin Did you think of me? When you were crushed Like a cold tear-stain Did you lose control? This changing weather These pools of joy We change together The Reptile Boy Is feasting on the scraps you gave Is feasting on the scraps you gave When you were washed Clean of your sin Did you think of me? When you were crushed Like a cold tear-stain Did you lose control? This changing weather Too much for me This changing weather Too much for me I should have told you why, my friend I should have told you why, my friend The changing weather A lack of joy Beg and borrow For the Reptile Boy .

Tiny footprints in the snow In the snow, in the snow Could be a fox or it Could be a mole A long-legged mole in the snow Could be a mole A long-legged mole A supermodel mole A mole supermodel Making tracks there In the snow In the snow Time for me to go back to bed Time for me to go clear my head Tiny footprints in the snow In the snow, in the snow What has made them? I don’t know I don’t know Could be a mink But a mink is a stole Can you steal, steal a stole? If already it is stole Could be a mink Time for me to go back to bed Time for me to go clear my head Time for me to go say my prayers Time for me to go say my prayers Tiny footprints in the snow In the snow, in the snow If he hollers let him go Let him go I’m not allowed out in the snow I find things, I find things Tiny footprints in the snow In the snow .

Evening. Yes, it is getting parky Not too bad. And yourself? Good I’ll have a pint of my usual, the Best What’s that? King Kong, he was a real ape? Died before they could film him? I’ve never heard that before, I must confess Bollocks You’re talking utter bollocks That’s what you do Whenever you come down the pub Bollock You’re talking utter bollocks Is it the drink or Is your brain in back to front or what? Yoda is a real person? He lives up north with Elvis Presley? They run a funeral home for people’s pets? Where do you get your information? Friends in high places, thought so And I bet you go on the internet... Bollocks You’re talking utter bollocks That’s what you do Whenever you come down the pub Bollocks You’re talking utter bollocks Is it the drink or Is your brain in back to front or what? (pretty echoey git solo) Are you saying the Earth is Only six thousand years old? Scientists would disagree but Don’t take that too hard And are you still telling people You’re the real Queen of England And you have to commute Because you live on Mars? Bollocks You’re talking utter bollocks That’s what you do Whenever you come down the pub Bollocks You’re talking utter bollocks Is it the drink or Is your brain in back to front or what? Bollocks You’re talking utter bollocks That’s what you do Whenever you come down the pub Bollocks You’re talking utter bollocks Is it the drink or Is your brain in back to front or what?

about

I am going to try to create, record and upload a new track every day for a year, starting April 2013.

My plan is to:
1) Produce a variety of material – alternative, ambient, pop, rock, reggae, acoustic, soundtrack, experimental;
2) Use a range of different creative techniques;
3) Be original;
4) Communicate ideas and feelings;
5) Surprise myself;
6) Have fun.

After the year has passed I will stop making music The music I have made will remain, but I will be elsewhere.

I hope you enjoy the sounds...

bushytunes Christmas Island

Once upon a time there was a crazy idea: to create, record and upload a musical track every day for a year. And the idea floated round and round the planet, looking for a place to call home. After a long time of searching and wishing and watching, the idea chose to make a nest in the brain of a bushy fellow, coming to his aid and guiding him out of the doldrums, back to a magical pathway... ... more
