about

The self-pitying singer songwriter with a darkly comic twist. Not to be taken too seriously, like life. Written some time ago.

lyrics

Show me the bar

So chop off my head, then I’ll be dead
And I won’t have to worry no more…
If that sounds quite drastic and somewhat fantastic,
Then just show me the bar.

Lop off a leg and I won’t even beg
For something to settle the score…
If that sounds far fetched, pity this wretch
(And) just show me the bar

Was a time I just thrived on just being alive
Dancing my days in the sun.
(But) now that I’m older my feet have grown colder
My dancing days are all done.

So cut off my arms, I won’t sound the alarms
Truncated won’t even implore…
If that sounds too much and it could seem like such:
(Then) just show me the bar

It’s not that I’m reprehensible,
It’s just that I’m feeling insensible.
Not a week goes by I don’t weep or sigh;
Not a day goes past I don’t feel like an ass -
So just show me the bar.

We can be been found playing to the disgruntled punters of Edinburgh surprising them with tales of wit and woes getting them thinking and tapping their toes. ... more
