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

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.
