Supertramp 03:55
lyrics

Skinny-dipping heroes drink port and blow balloons Huddled round the camp fire, bottle tops in sand Knives in concentration, carving lumps of wood They turn to one another biting fingers from their hands Telling one another lies Each one has a story, sounds better every time Living out a nightmare of laughter of a gull The fire sending sparks through the vase of mulled wine The memories now are fading, his eyes grow dim and dull Only embers now remain Drug addicted, alcoholic, tramp of a man He never seemed to quite fit in with any other plan Just walks around in circles, no oil in the lamp Super boy Super man Super junkie Super tramp He lies down to sleep in his super caravan Gotta be upmarket, no Asda cardboard box He's just weather-beaten, it's not a super tan Not to be mistaken, he's got the chicken pox Oh Lord Jesus not again Drug addicted, alcoholic, tramp of a man He never seemed to quite fit in with any other plan Just walks around in circles, no oil in the lamp Super boy Super man Super junkie Super tramp

We All Worry About This 03:21
lyrics

We all worry about this Even this worries about this I guess it's the problem Brittle punk pop We all worry about this Over the top of the mountain Down the other side Wasted in the fountain On New Year's Day we died We all worry about this Even this worries about this The Beatles 'Revolver' A slogan well placed We all worry about this Over the top of the mountain Down the other side Wasted in the fountain On New Year's Day we died We all worry about this Even this worries about this Shoot Aphrodite Presley on crack We all worry about this Over the top of the mountain Down the other side Wasted in the fountain On New Year's Day we died We all worry about this

Childhood Trauma 03:39

It was cold, it was winter It was 1968 Len Cox, football Fullarton Estate Big toe blooter On to the ice You dared me once and you hit me twice Don't make me go Don't make me go Don't make me go I just want to play in the snow I was all wrapped up I was wearing my scarf We played for 10 minutes It was still the first half You kicked the ball Way out of sight And you made me go cos you said I was light Don't make me go I just want to play in the snow Oh big brother why did you make me do it? I took a few steps and I fell right through it I trusted you I should have known better Fell through the ice I got colder and wetter Oh big brother you didn't pull me out I heard the ice creak I was so near Couldn't let you down I was shaking with fear As the ice grew thinner Under my knees The last thing you heard was me begging you please Don't make me go I just want to play in the snow Oh big brother why did you make me do it? I took a few steps and I fell right through it I trusted you I should have known better Fell through the ice I got colder and wetter Oh big brother you didn't pull me out

Welcome To The Family 07:08
lyrics
buy track
I find it strange I just can't see Why no one wants to stay with me We're just a normal family I only wish they'd talk to me I can't understand what I'm doing wrong Will someone tell me why they never stay long I need someone with loyalty I need somebody who will stay close to me Just sign the dotted line and name me your fee Perhaps it's time to get tough Perhaps I'll get rough I could give you pain So welcome to your ball and chain Don't misunderstand anything I say to you I just lost my head I didn't mean to frighten you But these long hours alone They screw me around Sometimes I blow a fuse Sometimes it makes me scream and shout Welcome to the family There's lots of fun for you and me But just don't let me down Or I'll make sure you never leave You know there's nothing sinister here Scratch my back and I'll buy you a beer Come and join us you'll enjoy it for sure Scratch my back or I'll rip out yours Perhaps it's time to get tough Perhaps I'll get rough I could give you pain So welcome to your ball and chain Don't misunderstand anything I say to you I just lost my head I didn't mean to frighten you But these long hours alone They screw me around Sometimes I blow a fuse Sometimes it makes me scream and shout Welcome to the family There's lots of fun for you and me But just don't let me down Or I'll make sure you never leave I could give you a room with a view You must believe me, I will look after you I need someone with loyalty I need somebody who will stay close to me You can confuse me I think you'll agree Perhaps it's time to get tough Perhaps I'll get rough I could give you pain So welcome to your ball and chain

There Goes An Ostrich 02:35
lyrics
buy track
Step into my car I'll take you home We had a great time at The Hippodrome Three o'clock and I wanna go to sleep Close my eyes and I nearly hit a sheep There goes a squirrel There goes a dog I've been sleeping like a log Behind the wheel I'm dropping off You say you've had enough Wake me up and I hear you scream You've disturbed me from a lovely dream I'll get you home in a minute don't worry There's no need for us to hurry There goes a rabbit There goes a hare What the fuck were they doing there? Behind the wheel I'm dropping off You say you've had enough Hitting 90 down a country lane My eyes are closed and it's started to rain We'll have to do this again tomorrow night I'm sorry if I gave you a fright There goes a penguin There goes a cow This really shouldn't be allowed Behind the wheel I'm dropping off You say you've had enough There goes an ostrich There goes a horse You say you want a divorce Behind the wheel I'm dropping off You say you've had enough There goes a squirrel There goes a dog I've been sleeping like a log Behind the wheel I'm dropping off You say you've had enough There goes a rabbit There goes a hare What the fuck were they doing there? Behind the wheel I'm dropping off You say you've had enough There goes a penguin There goes a cow This really shouldn't be allowed Behind the wheel I'm dropping off You say you've had enough There goes an ostrich There goes a horse You say you want a divorce Behind the wheel I'm dropping off You say you've had enough

about

Braxton Hicks image

Braxton Hicks London, UK

Brothers Ken and Andy McHaffie wrote and recorded all these songs. We usually recorded 2 to 3 songs per day over a period of months and years, mainly under the influence of strong cider.

Some are funny, some less so, but we put our all into it.

Very much DIY, all recorded on 4-track, and extremely variable sound quality. ... more
