Description:
Musings on the practicalities of married existence and the contrary thought processes of each sex (while channelling Eric Idle).
Lyrics:
Sara says the World is Round
Teutonical Philosophy is so profound
The lawn could do with a better mow
The London Footsie's at an all-time low
Our Jonny says the World is flat
Confucianism is where it's at
The Garden's looking fine by me
I'll go and make myself a nice cup of tea
But what are you gonna do
When the Oracle of Delphi's got a downer on you?
Sara says with such a frown
Inflation's up and the Economy's down
Destitution and Destruction looms
We really need a set of serving spoons
But Jonny says with an absent air
I'll go and fetch myself another chair
Hold that thought, I won't be long
Just going to finish off this song
But What are you gonna do
When the Oracle of Delphi's got a downer on you?
So we'll have to make a sacrifice
Appease the Muses with a strange device
We'll conjure rhythms and some melodies
A combination which should Gods appease
The Universe in which we all do sit
Can often be a quite uneasy fit
So in a spirit most contrite
We must admit that Sara's mostly right
But What are you gonna do
When the Oracle of Delphi's got a downer on you?

I'll remember eventually

Too kind........ &mdash 06/26/08 - 04:27:42 PM
But thanks anyway :-)
Any Rocking must be down to Jonny's 10yr old Chris, who did sterling work on the drums on this one. Top lad......he'll go far. [ Reply to This ]

Thanks much! &mdash 06/26/08 - 04:31:16 PM
However, I'm definitely not cool.
As my wife says that my current (lack of) haircut makes me look like an Antique Dealer. 'of a certain age'.
Sadly, I can't disagree....... [ Reply to This ]

On the Fiddle....... &mdash 06/26/08 - 05:31:27 PM
Thanks - on the fiddle is the other half of Cadman, Johnny (or Chaz as I confusingly call him).
We like his playing so much that we have a collection of songs called - On The Fiddle - which when and if we get our act together will be our first new album for 20 years. [ Reply to This ]

Oh 'eyup &mdash 06/28/08 - 11:57:08 AM
another loony to add to the fold...your voice has also got a touch of Rolf Harris to it in the inflection and occasional pronounciation...sorry that's not an insult,I like his early stuff ......oh sugar, I'll stop now...before I hit bedrock and have to start drilling...............

G'Day!
The Rolf Harris thing must be because I spent a weekend in Melbourne once.
On the other hand, I spent the weekend in York once too (trying to drink our way around the city wall).......Hmmmmmm. [ Reply to This ]

thanks for getting me to look under 'Comedy' LOL I truly hadn't noticed that there was such a Genre here (age). I really enjoyed your song with it's excellent lyrics and the great backing instruments. I enjoyed the way you sang it too, regards M [ Reply to This ]
Thanks again....... &mdash 06/30/08 - 10:49:58 AM
Thanks - glad some of the fun we had recording it (in between trying to do 'serious' music) - came across.
I've got some other tracks which should be in 'Comedy' - unfortunately not for the right reasons :-( ! [ Reply to This ]
