lyrics

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

about

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.
