Egg And Chips

Straight to the hips
Lick your lips
Wash it down
With a Scotch & Coke
Come on and dip yer chips
And then polk the yolk
It's run run runny
if it's sunny side up
You can take it over easy
Even flip it in a cup
Now come on
Won't you make a wish
That's what I want
My dreamy dish
Don't be late
& don't smash your plate
It's run run runny
If it's sunny side up
You can take it over easy
Even flip it in a cup

Yes It's True

You make me feel high, apple of my eye
Oh You, you make me happy
I want to hold you and keep you here
Kiss and squeeze you tightly
My heart is singing, when you are near
Life is for the living
Let's live together and make the most
Of Time, what we do with it
Moments we're sharing
Until we're toast
I love to see you on a Friday night
By Monday morning well it still feels right
Cos it's true, Yes it's true
I've never known a bunny like you
Yes it's true, yes it's true, I love you
I just wanna tell you
How much I need you, listen to me
Words not taken lightly
Let's stick together,
please hear my plea
Shake or shout and twist it
A crunchy biscuit, can bring a smile
You can run around us
I'm glad you found us, please stay a while
I love to see you on a Friday night
By Monday morning well it still feels right
Cos it's true, Yes it's true
I've never known a bunny like you
Yes it's true, yes it's true, I love you
You make me feel high, apple of my eye
Days of the week can sometimes number eight
On every one I know you’re my best mate
Cos it's true, Yes it's true
I've never known a bunny like you
Yes it's true, yes it's true, I love you
Yes it's true, yes it's true, I love you
Oh yes it’s true

One Of Those Gerrllss
02:44
|
|||
|
Some girls will kiss you then leave you lonely
Some girls will break your poor heart in two
Some girls will hit the town until midnight
And my girl is one of those girls
And he said
I didn't love you for a laugh
So please don't do this thing by half
High time to quit the runaround
Your ship’s come in and run aground
I don't want to be sentimental
But I feel it's time to say
Please stop
Or I might shop around soon
Some guys would paint the town centre scarlet
Some guys would leave you broken and blue
Some guys, they're not too wise and they know it
But I'm not that type of a guy
And she said
You used to really make me laugh
You'd rub me shoulders in the bath
Fine wine and dine me out and then
Hand in hand you’d walk me home again
Lately I feel a bit neglected
So I feel it's time to say
Wise up
Or I'll be splitting from you
All told I'd really hate to lose you
So I'll bite me tongue today
I’m glad that you’re one of those girls

When I step out the door
And the skies open up
Then the rain falls down on me
As it begins to pour
I look up with a sigh
I'm so happy just to be
There's a whispering wind
And a song in the air
And it tells me not to cry
So I try to walk tall
Because life is too short
So don't waste it wondering why
I don't need that old sun to be shining
For endless summer I'll never be pining
As long as i can breathe (I'm alive)
As long as I am free (I'm alright)
You can't take that away from me
You can't take that away
When I breathe in the air
With not one single care
Seems the simplest thing to do
While we are all here
Let's not hold on to fear
And be free with kindness too
Though it's hard to stay up
When the days bring you down
And the nights can be so long
Feel the warmth in your heart
When the light comes around
Then you'll know it can't be wrong
I don't need that old sun to be shining
For endless summer I'll never be pining
As long as I can breathe (I'm alive)
As long as I am free (I'm alright)
You can't take that away from me
You can't take that away
Though the year may have been real bad
We'll look back one day
And laugh out loud
Through the tears falling
Come what may
These days are gonna quickly pass
And bad times never last

Call To Me
03:14
|
|||
|
Every night when I go to bed
Dreams of angels come and visit my head
Every night I look to the stars
So elusive I can't see who you are
I'd never loved before
Why leave me standing wanting more?
I know they said I told you so
But darlin’ I'm a sucker for a picture show
Oh my love who whispers by night
On another plane we may get it right
Lost in a haze with echoes of love
Will of fate could being assent from above
Never known a girl like you
So why you want to turn me too?
Reality is not for me
So maybe this old town just ain't the place to be
Call to me, oh call to me
I'll be right by your side
In the dead the night I'll fly
Just look up to the sky
Look for me, please look for me
I will bring you a sign
What dreams may come from other lives
Which towards we all strive
Love hates, passion awaits
Push, watch me fall
Knock knock, open your gates
I want to see it all

Goodnight Georgia Peach
02:12
|
|||
|
Just like a vision from a teenage dream
The reason that I learned to scream
Goodbye Georgia Peach
You taught me what the teachers couldn't teach
You do what you feel
You feel what you do
The king of rock ‘n’ roll
And the true queen too
Goodnight Georgia Peach
It was a sermon you were born to preach
I don't get down on nobody else
For doing what they can do
To each his own, so please yourself
And do what's right for you
The grass may be greener on the other side
But twice as hard to cut
You may the bridesmaid but never the bride
You never know your luck
Let it all hang out
Let it all hang out
Cos when you're down and out
You gotta bawl and shout
Let it all hang out

Cry cry cry, woo ooh ooh ooh
Cry cry cry, yeah
Cry cry cry
Every day I ask for a glimmer of sunlight
When my thoughts return to what happened on that night
If you wanna cry for another
Please hide your tears from me
When it's over
Please don't come sobbing to me
I remember I never cared about nothing
These days all it takes is the littlest something
If you wanna cry for another
Please hide your tears from me
When it's over
Please don't come sobbing to me
Don’t cha come sobbing to me
I knew you better when
You didn't wanna take my love
And break it in pieces
Placed out of reaches
Choices you cling to
Could be the very worst thing for you
But now you’re gonna see what we can do

We've got hits to spare
And you can have one if you like
We've got hits to spare
Why don't we duet on the mic
Everybody wants a piece of the pie
Roll up and come and get your slice
We've got hits to spare
We’re looking after number one
We've got hits to spare
But please don't take your cut and run
We've got hits to spare
We don't write them just for fun
Everybody wants a piece of the pie
Roll up and come and get your slice
We've got hits to spare
We’re looking after number one
Let's write a swimming pool
Or toss of a quick flip side
We’re banking on the follow up
To do the biz state-side
We've got hits to spare
We've been working day and night
In this hit to spare
We think the middle 8's alright
Everybody wants a piece of the pie
Roll up and come and get your slice
We've got hits to spare
We’re looking after number one

In & Out
03:29
|

|
Can't you hear that I'm calling
‘Cos lately we have been falling
In and out of love
And darling don't you know sometimes
I get so weary of heart crimes
I feel so sad and nostalgic for our love
Remember how it used to be so good
But now it's not working like it ought to should
And we still could
Fall back in together
Like I remember last September girl
So please me
It's bittersweet when you tease me
Let's take a minute and
Drop back in on love
I start to thinking it's tragic
So let's recapture the magic
It's not a trick if we conjure up some love
Remember how it used to be so good
Now it's not working like it ought to should
And we still could
Fall back in together
Like I remember last September girl
You wanted the world so I gave you the world
What more could you ask me for
Come up to my place I’ll put a smile on your face
A million other things what’s more
So come up now, yeah
They say that love's back in fashion
Let's rediscover the passion
Not sentimental when I say
Let's fall in love
When I'm under the covers
I start to drift and I wonder
Why time is wasted with
Falling out of love
I'm so happy
You look quite good
like I guessed you would
Because you're never rude to me
Baby
The band is good to go
The sleeve notes told me so
And everybody knows

Get It Down
02:18
|
|||
|
Write me a letter
Spare half your mind
Don't pull no punches
But try to be kind
Words can be weapons
So use them with care
Sharpen your pencil
But don't point it there
By the time
You've read my mind
I'll be far away
I won't be ‘round
So get it down
What else do I have to say?
Write me a letter
Tender and true
Not much I'm asking
The least you could do
Mail me a missive
Clear and unblurred
Soon I'll return dear
And fly like a bird
Till then it's only words
|

Could it be I'm the loneliest person in the Wirral
Every day miles away cos I'm dreaming of a girl
I don't need anyone to say
Hey chuck come on cheer up today
Don't you know I'm the laziest fella in the realm
Spend my time turning rhymes that distinctly underwhelm
Struggle to string my words along
Words tumble out but sound all wrong
And I can't take it
I feel a little lost inside
And I can't take it
Don't have anyone
I'm so sad and blue
One two three four five
I’m counting down the hours ‘till I make it out of this one alive
Things happen
Door's chapping
Who's standing there?
Ding dong
So it seems I'm the luckiest someone in the street
Suddenly half the world wants to fall down at me feet
What a queer turn up for the books
These people must be crazy kooks

Park And Ride
02:46

|
I've been kinda resigned
To losing my mind again
I watched you walking away
Don’t leave me behind
Oh no
She takes the other bus
I didn't put up much of a fuss
She's takes the other bus
To the park and ride
You threw me under the wheel
Now how do you feel my friend
My coupon's like the back of a coach
Was love ever real
Oh no
She takes the other bus
I didn't put up much of a fuss
She's takes the other bus
To the park and ride
I'm standing waiting at the back of the line
I'll catch the next one at a quarter to nine
I bet it's late and two turn up at one time
Just punch my ticket I'll be perfectly fine
There's no more room at the top
I feel such a flop
It's true
It looks like I'll never get off
I just missed my stop
Oh no
She takes the other bus
I didn't put up much of a fuss
She's takes the other bus
To the park and ride
I'm standing waiting at the back of the line
I'll catch the next one at a quarter to nine
I bet it's late and two turn up at one time
Just punch my ticket I'll be perfectly fine
My baby’s alright
She’s dogging
My baby’s alright
She’s dogging again

What A Wonderful Love
01:49
|
|||
|
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you
What knocked me out is that you like me too
What a wonderful love
So happy with the things we do
When we dance
And twist half the night away
Romance is only a kiss away too
I feel so happy I can't let you go
It's just the ticket ‘cos you told me so
What a wonderful love
Nowhere else on earth that I'd rather be
And then birds sing
When I come around your way
Bells ring
Out loud on our wedding day too
I don't know why the sky is blue
All I know is it's true
As real as birds and the summer bees
When autumn comes it brings falling leaves
A time to breathe

Girl you got me going
There's only one thing
I think you should be knowing
I could be a friend to you
And if you want me too
Well I will
Darling ain't no denying
I'll take you shopping
And soon we will be buying
Ask me for anything
Except for diamond rings
And I will
I've got a little something for you
And if I bring it on home
You might be loving it too
So if you want me to I will
And if you're sure you know
You're sure then I will, yeah
My friend, my fascination
I think I've had enough
Of your procrastination
Don't let your feelings hide
And if you can't decide
Well I will
You've got a little loving for me
And if I say pretty please
Can I have it for free
Well if you ask me nicely I will
Yeah if you whisper magic words
Well I will, yeah
Please stop your under-handing
Cos we all need peace love and understanding
I've got some time to burn
And if you'll help me learn
Well I will
Don’t let your feelings hide
But if you can’t decide
I will
Well I could be a friend to you
And if you want me to
Well I will
You know I will

How Are You Coping With This Century?
by Novelty Island
supported by 17 fans who also own “Hits To Spare”
I could leave it here. ‘How Are You Coping With This Century’ is my choice for best album of 2021. This is my subjective view of course, but you’d be wrong to discount it. There’s surreal stories, delicious 1960’s melodies and harmonies, jangle pop, ace musicianship, faux country & western, all wrapped up in McCartney-led Beatles vibes. I can’t see where Tom & Co. put a foot wrong here. It’s a wonderful piece of pop magic.
