lyrics

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

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.
