lyrics

You got a spring bishop looking at me
You bear scraped my history
You’ve been voting in the underpass
But I can feel you

You glitterballed my second life
Sang a birdsong to my wife
Soda water crime in a glass
But I can see too

You’ve got eyes in my London shoes
You’re giving me the Bombay blues
You’ve got the script for the evening news
And your hands down my brand new trews

Concrete donkey ringing in my ears
You give me airwolf you tube fears
You’re Sylvester to my Tweety Pie
I lie
To cheat you

And if you think you’ve seen it all
Here’s an uninvited wake up call
You just scored two out of five
I think we beat you

You got information to extreme
You’re the soul of the rolling meme
I can see you’re warming to your theme

But you can’t get inside a dream
We might not be what we seem
I’m probably not seventeen
I think you know what I mean

We might give you enough rope
The walk on bag’s full of dope
It’ll give you an excuse to grope
Maybe you and me could elope

I don’t live where you think I do
I’m not interested in kung fu
My favourite colour isn’t blue
Least I don’t think so

I don’t want to go Honolu lu
But my search history says that I do
I don’t have a dragonfly tattoo
But here’s the photo

You’ve got your eyes to the telescope
You’re the perfect antidote to hope
You’re even pissing off the pope

We might give you enough rope
The walk on bag’s full of dope
It’ll give you an excuse to grope
Maybe you and me could elope

But you can’t get inside a dream
We might not be what we seem
I’m probably not seventeen
I think you know what I mean

I think you know what I mean (rpt ad lib)

We're the Cheats, The Benefit Cheats.
Just punk rockers who didn't stop, no scratch that, won't stop, it's an act of will.

Been around some blocks but this our first recording together. Recorded in no time straight into a big old desk it's raw, like we're playing next door.

Enjoy it, if you want. TBC x ... more
