Lyrics

what shall i do today ?
what shall i do today ?
shall i work or shall i play ?
what shall i do today ?
it\'s that time again . . .
it\'s that time again . . .
the leaves are falling, the mountains calling,
it\'s that time again . . .
way down in south wales there\'s a little town,
and up there on a mountain . . .
country john can be found . . .
walking through the fields with a carrier bag,
drinking white lightning™ . . .
and smoking a fag
he\'ll take five hundred home . . .
and dry \'em out in a box
do twenty-five up on the hillside . . .
staring at the rocks
go go . . .
champignon magique . . .
champignon magique . . .
c\'est la fantastique !
champignon magique . . .

	Groovy trip Blimey, you've just given me a coughing fit. Fantastic stuff ... you're totally off the planet ... I haven't laughed so much since I heard the last one.

	Bloody marvellous Came here as you were kind enough to post on mine and discovered a gem. Funnily enough I used to live in a godforsaken hamlet South Wales when I was 19 and play in a very, very bad band there and things seemed much as you describe back then.

	ha ha! Thanks for letting me know this was up! I like how you change between song, sound effects, and spoken dialogue... it's like a messed up children's book... and when you are talking to your mum it gets me laughing every time! Check out my latest song called Gossamer dissected

lmao
man this is brillant how in the f uc k did you come up with
this ? Loved all the usual instruments and the weird vocal
effects. Loved the lyrics but this passage confused me
care to explain ; )

walking through the fields with a carrier bag,
drinking white lightning™ . . .
and smoking a fag
he\'ll take five hundred home . . .
and dry \'em out in a box
do twenty-five up on the hillside . . .
staring at the rocks

nice one . . .
cheers dave . . .
well . . . let's see . . .
. . . the shroomer's traditionally use a plastic *carrier bag to collect the
harvest.
. . . *white lightning™ is a very cheap, very strong 'white cider'.
. . . a *fag is slang for a cigarette.
. . . a good harvest is about *500.
. . . take them home and *dry 'em out for the rest of the year.
. . . ( or make a tea out of 100 or so . . . for your mates and your mam )
. . . a nice fresh dose is about *25 - 35.
. . . eat these up the *mountain while your 'on the pick'
. . . and they'll guide you to the best crops !
. . . spend the day then *staring at rocks and laughing to yourself !

safe . . .

	speechless that was a lot of fun from start to finish, and your renditition of johnny b. goode is smoking. tell me though, how did you structure this? is all the music covers or just johnny b goode? i'll have to look into chapter 1. great stuff.

structure . . . what's that ?
cheers scoots . . .
i kinda make it up as i go along . . .
i must have some basic plan somewhere
in my head of how i want things to turn out ? . .
. . . but more often or not my songs take on their
own form with all the layers i keep adding.
the musical structure of this is :
C D G repeated all the way through . . . on different instruments.
radio intro is a dennex donor™ piano song 'axed-up'
with a johnny b goode middle section . . .
( still can't believe you thought it was smoking ! . . cheers : )
then back to C D G with samples of all my other songs layered over . . .
with a bit of sloop john b thrown in for good measure !

stay tuned for the next chapter . . .

safe

What's that Tiny Clanger? Safe?
What can I say? Possibly the most original thing I've
heard on MacJams so far and very funny. I love the
middle cut-up bit (can I say samples?). But be careful
with that volume, Eugene, er, I mean John. Nice to
hear Country Mam is getting a more prominent role.
And I think staying away from Argos is the safe thing
to do. Keep 'em coming, oh Countrified one. Sorted!
