Short Clare Short what she say
Short Clare Short what she do
I'm telling you now as a matter of fact,
Short Clare Short never grew.

Short Clare Short what she say
Short Clare Short what she doin'
She's starying to crack -
with her views on Iraq-
Short Clare Short where she goin'

Short on elegance -short on light ,
short on reality - short on sight ,
short on charm - short on flair ,
short on tony and short on Blair.

Imagine your surprise! Listen to this, now, but believe I'm not joking, it's the plain truth: there's even a guy called Tony Blair!

Seriously, thanks for your comments, I'm glad you liked the song.

I'm glad you enjoyed this musical trifle, it was quite topical when it was written in 2003.
Do do wop bop bop, It really is a very silly song....thank you again.

Comedy? &mdash 03/09/08 - 04:35:30 PM
Much better than a satire piece. Arrangement, production, and musicianship are first class. It has a edge to it that's hard to describe... or place. Nice work. [ Reply to This ]
Many thanks for &mdash 03/10/08 - 04:24:43 AM

Love this! &mdash 03/09/08 - 05:08:43 PM
Oh yes, I remember Clare Short. She was that woman who meant to throw a firework under Blair's arse but forgot to bring her matches.
I love a bit of British musical sarcasm and you take it a stage further with such a sweetly melodic setting. Wonderful sounds and an addictive hook. As RMD says it's almost too good to be a satire piece, but so what, it's delightful. [ Reply to This ]
Thank you Rebsie,- &mdash 03/10/08 - 04:41:27 AM
from Druid's Bunion productions in Wales. I'm glad you liked the song, had it been written 20 years earlier I would have said that the Welsh magic mushrooms may have had to have been included in the composer credits but this just grew on it's own from it's simple chorus . It's still occaisionally played at gigs though not quite so much now as it isn't that topical anymore.
Thank you again for your kind words,
John. [ Reply to This ]

impressive fun song John. Very catchy chorus and I love the Zappa vocals too. You're certainly not short on talent - that's for sure. Loved it.
Cheers

It started it's life &mdash 03/10/08 - 04:52:00 AM
as just a bit of a joke, which of course is what it still is and then I got to like it and decided to record it. It was influenced writingwise by Frank Zappa as I remember as I have always been a big fan of his, particularly the fun side of him rather than the 25 minute guitar solos that surfaced here and there.
I'm glad you like it Len and thanks for taking the time to comment.

I love the turn on the word short in the chorus. Nice guitar work too. Once again woofer does not come up short. [ Reply to This ]
