about

Found a gentle groove and came up with this night-club flavoured song about a lonely man searching for intimacy, a poor lost soul acting rather strangely in his funky pyjamas.

Are your pyjamas funky?

lyrics

Here I am

It’s three o’clock in the morning
And I’m in this tatty, tarnished, flea bitten night-club
Slow dancing with myself
I’m a little bit... er... tipsy?
And I just think I need to make some changes
I wish I wasn’t so shy
I need something to help me overcome my shyness
I know:
Tomorrow I’ll go shopping in my funky pyjamas

Funky pyjamas, too good to keep to myself
Funky pyjamas, made to share with somebody else
Funky pyjamas, the very best thing I own
Funky pyjamas, I almost don’t mind being alone

Well, in Tesco’s I was asked to leave very politely
By a man with a moustache and a stern gaze
In B&Q, some people sniggered
One man said
“Did you get up late?”
And I tried to think of something witty to say
But lost the moment
I felt embarrassed at the checkout
And I said to the girl
“Oh, don’t worry -
I’m going to a slumber party later.
It’s a sort of adults’ fancy dress thing”
I think she didn’t hear me
She certainly ignored me

Funky pyjamas...

I mean, the whole point of owning pyjamas like these
Is to share them with somebody
That’s all I want
Just somebody who could
Maybe make a joke about my pyjamas
And I could make a joke back
And we could laugh
Over a nice, gentle breakfast
I used to be really good at
Connecting with people
There didn’t seem to be any effort involved
But now, I just feel like… I just…
I don’t know…
I don’t know…

Funky pyjamas...

about

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
