about

To love the language, you've got to be born on the banks of the Mississippi.
I was born in Oldham. It's not even close!

lyrics

Looks like we've had our summer
That was that day last week
Tyre around my middle
Blisters upon your feet
We shouldn't have made it so soon
The rain hasn't stopped and the flowers are blooming in time
Man couldn't land on the moon
But somebody mentioned it happened in '69

Someone turn up the colour
The world isn't black and white
Life isn't getting duller
It's just that you're not so bright
We shouldn't have made it so fast
People are still auditioning for your part
How long are you going to last
'Cos I don't believe that a photocopy is art

I don't know when the sun stopped shining
I don't know when it started to rain
I don't know how to make things better
I only hope you remain

ou'd better change the CD
I think that this one is scratched
Tackle you in a wrestle
'cos we're so evenly matched
We shouldn't have moved the platoon
The enemy's closing and here I am croning away
We've all had enough of this tune
So I'll finish here and I've run out of things to say!
Anyway...
