Lyrics
Who’d like teeth like harriet Harman. –july 2009
Sometimes things just don’t add up the way they ought to should,
Most of us would like to change the system if we could,
Foggy answers to our questions wrapped in fancy terms,
Someone’s palm is greased again, another bag of worms

Understatements buzzing ‘round they’ll try to apprehend,
Claims we know that can’t be true to always half defend,
Maybe it’s the sum of what they think will never be,
Who would trust them further than a distance they could see.


Who’d like teeth like Harriet Harman, who’d like a smile like Gordon Brown,
Who’d admit Oasis don’t bring them down.

Do we trust them? - I should cocoa, surely they must know,
You can see the trail of shady footprints in the snow,
Sticky fingers everywhere and picking what they choose,
Would you ever trust a smile that you’d seen on the news

You are one of those rare artists that have an instantly recognizable sound and style. And while each tune is unique there's a sonic cohesiveness from song to song. Thanks for the download. I can never have too much woofer3 on my iPod.

Fabulous!
Wonderful lyrics and delivery (plus I LOVE tango). I'd half defend this one anytime ;-)
PLUS You hint at the Teddy Bear's Picnic at the end. Big smile :-)

Hi Richard
there was a time when I thought that I might be able to sell some of my songs but I realize now that I was labouring under a misapprehension and so now the emphasis is more on just having a good time and doing just what I want to do. I love the Teddy Bear's Picnic....it was recorded by seven different British bands in the thirties - Henry Hall's being the most famous. Oh almost forgot - thank you for the visit and listening.

Fun Boy Three
was the melody that came to mind John. Always like biting lyrics coupled with a cheerful melody. Beautiful South used to do that so well. So you've done Clare Short and harriet harman....who's next?? Oh and Oasis bring me down!

now isn't that strange
Only yesterday or the day before I was playing the Telephone always Rings by the Fun Boy Three - I really like that single.

I've written about Hitler and Boorman and Eichman and Himmler and Gordon Brown and Prince Charles and God knows who else. I think I got the idea of writing songs about people who p--- me off from Frank Zappa, I love some of his little sideswipes at people he felt needed it.

Thank you very much for your comments.

Funny, I was just thinking about Harriet today and what a dynamic force she's been as stand in leader of the labour party.....NOT!!
Anyway.... this is brilliant and some of the most poignant and funny lyrics I've hear you do...or maybe it's just the mood I'm in.
Loving the accordian solo.
Tunnel of Love by the Fun boy 3 was the tune that came to mind but only the opening 2 bars and then it went off in it's own wonderful direction.
You made me day.
Enjoyed very much
cheers

Are they not
all a bunch of odious,self-serving,grasping,rapaciously greedy,chiselling,twisting,double-dyed,backstabbing,bed-wetting,odious,lieing,dis-honest,false smiling,promise breaking bunch of Bastards....

My vote is for Guy Fawkes,last person to enter the Houses of Parliament with an earnest and honest intent.So there.
I like the song too, by the way.

Cheers Jarvo

hey Jarvey
Don't sugar coat it, give it to 'em straight. You are right of course, I also have a natural distrust of the majority of these people.

Glad you dug the song - thanks.

Hello Tim
glad you approve of this mere trifle I have submitted - re the accordian, I have since given up the instrument due to extensive injury caused to my nipples from catching them in the bellows, though this was just the tip of the problem.

just had to
write a song about this woman who makes statements like she did at the start of this piece and then is found also to be involved in suspect activities. They think that talking with a plumb in their gobs seems to elevate them above all suspicion. Thank you Tim for listening. This was written purely to make me feel better.

Great stuff.

Thank you Len
Sorry I'm late replying - I should cocoa - Woofer3 came about when I first started messing with the internet - One of the sites, can't remember which one, was asking me for a name and I [on the spur of the moment] picked woofer - it said it was already taken - so I tried woofer 1 - still no joy so I just kept moving along until I arrived at three ! I picked Woofer because I was thinking of Spark's albums -Woofer in Tweeter's Clothing. So presumably there are other Woofers out there somewhere.

John,

who'd
wow john...what a groovy intro. and then we're in. what i love most about your songs is your vocal style - it's almost like it's painful for you to get the words out. i'm probably not explaining myself properly...but it's a compliment. writing whilst listening. this is stellar. what fantastic progressions you have here. we've run out of time so i'm going back to the beginning again. i love that intro...it's totally cool. the harmony parts are as always perfect. i love the way you are able to bring in other little pet hatreds subtley...like oasis. i've been writing recently to the bbc complaining about fiona bruce 'eyebrow' commenting on the information she is supposed to be disseminating to the population in an imparital manner...she ought to be on fox news. rant rant rage rage. back to this track. love it. really catchy, really clever lyrics. you are a genius - musically and socio-politically.
