2 years in the back of a white van - and everywhere and everyone looked the same!

lyrics

Pull up your white socks,
Slip on your shoes,
The turn’s arrived now to sing the blues.
Comb down your mullet,
Trim your moustache,
Take your image from a faded photograph.

And if its gone, before it’s done
Take out the photograph,
And lie it flat,
And never know what’s wrong with that,
It’s gone, your never wrong,
Your never wrong.

Your early flyer,
Open your box,
Your queuing system, your flowing locks.
Your tattooed chairman,
His tattooed wife,
The skinny girl, legs don’t meet, been under the knife

And if its gone, before it’s done
Take out the photograph,
And lie it flat,
And never know what’s wrong with that,
It’s gone, your never wrong,
Your never wrong.

No never more, never a moment to yourself,
The shiny lights are your escape,
Everyone knows you
And your generously healthy lack of pride.

And if its gone, before it’s done
Take out the photograph,
And lie it flat,
And never know what’s wrong with that,
It’s gone, your never wrong,
Your never wrong.

Pull up your white socks
slip on your shoes
the time’s arrived now to pay your dues
A Sunday funday
a drunken laugh
take your image from a faded photograph
take your image from a faded photograph
