(heaton/rotheray) It was the middle of winter And i drove us in my car The snow started falling So we stopped off at a bar The beer started flowing And your mother and i took the floor But by the last dance we were tired So i booked a room next door So if anyone […]
(heaton/rotheray) One day i’m loaded, next day i’m broke Spent all my money on whisky and coke Riding high ’till the rock hit the spoke It’s like window shopping for blinds Spent all my money on a sunbed tan Spoke the best that a young girl can Ended up with a blind drunk man It’s […]
(heaton/rotheray) This table has four sturdy legs And a heart of very near wild oak When others would have screamed out loud my friend This one never even spoke I’ve been sat upon, i’ve been spat upon I’ve been treated like a bed Been carried like a stretcher, When someone thinks they’re dead I’ve been […]

(heaton/rotheray) I’m losing things That’s what old-fashioned love brings Lost the key to the house The feeling in my mouth I’m losing things I’m forgetting things That’s what old-fashioned love brings Forgot the number of the street The shoes on your feet I’m forgetting things ’cause i’ve a limited capacity in my brain When my […]

(heaton/rotheray) With a face like a crab’s bus ticket And skin like a llama’s door mat He was always gonna struggle Nature had seen to that He dreamt of those old-fashioned movies Where bogart gets the dame But a lorry load of lorre Is still the score of pain And he sings I may be […]
