lyrics

Creeping out your speakers
Feel the heat just like fajitas
Guitar cannot defeat us
Learn the chords and we’ll meet freedom
Not the naughtiest
Son of an accordionist
Guitar can’t stop the awkwardness
But it sure can make less boring bits
Drum breaks over lunch break
Heard Simon could summon up some bass
Without anyone helping
‘Just keep that going ’til the bell rings'
I can sing and play guitar but
Not at the same time!
That might take longer to learn
Than this one break time

Clem’s brother’s in a cool band
They’re not even a school band
They know all the rules and
I wish we were a cool band
Taught us ‘bout the Beastie Boys
They’ve got real CDs boys
If you haven't seen these boys
You really need to see these boys
Pacing round guitar shops
At the amps we would be staring
They always kicked us out
But were so much nicer to our parents
Spilling out The Croft voices lost but not forgotten
But in the morning when we’re yawning
Sound like Dot Cotton

Call it what you like
I dipped my head in the stream and now it’s all I can dream about

There’s no way out

Stick together like Solder
We’ll just never get older

Making a cocktail out of Mum & Dad’s drink cabinet
They won’t notice not having it
What’s a bit of rum & Sa-vig-non cab-er-net?
Lost in a field now
Crawling like a field mouse
And things are kind of hazy
Has anyone seen my sister Maisie?
I’ve known her since the day that she was born
And now someone’s said she’s disappeared down a path made out of sweetcorn
‘You trying to say Mais is lost in a maze of maize?'
And what is happening here?
We’re just passengers crashing through
Road isn't clear
Fashioning lassoes just trying to steer
Just hurtling into the dark
But I’ll wear short sleeves purposefully
So you can see my heart
And if I fall off this narrow road
I’ll hang on to that pommel horse
Don’t know where this arrow goes
But in exams I always went off course
Won’t find me in no Olympic park
No medals not even for taking part
Thanks sports day
But I’m a ninja turtle
Life’s up and down
But I just run through hurdles
