lyrics

JND:
Look at the state of it /
It's a shambles, we couldn't organise a flaming thing /
And it's a shame because the talent here is wasted if only
We could sort it with a meeting where we changed the script /

The same old last minute way we think /
Oh I can't make it, he can't either, great that's it /
We'll schedule summat in a couple months /
And the day before it's soz I'm busy with scoffing down my double lunch /

See Ben the drummer, he's a genius in a padded room /
Busy teaching plus he's gonna be a daddy soon /
If you thought his time was tight before imagine that /
Add the synthesizer Superbooth on top before you ask /

Got Colin slappin' dat bass, a Southern lad /
And he's a teacher too, giggin' with a hundred bands /
Don't forget the festivals or the wedding functions /
See where I'm going, well what about Tough Crowd productions? /

Diggle on the keys; but not for long /
He's off to London in pursuit of something, that's our problem /
Is he the 3rd or 4th we've had, I can't remember? /
Hope he plays it Wyclef - gone 'til November /

Andy's widdles fit within the space that Diggle leaves /
And adds a certain somethin' which accentuate the bass and keys /
See the bands tight, on top of that they're sound fellas /
But the rappers, picky when it comes to writing down a sentence../

See you can't force it, no, but it's been a while /
5 years, in fact, need to sort it, get it done with style /
They say good things come to those who wait for it /
I think it's time to finish what we started here, you lazy twits //

CHORUS x2
And with the way that things are we're done for /
It's got my head spinning round and round /
Oh, here we go again /

Don't get me started
You got me started
Shouts to Luke Wynter
You've not seen the departed?
See I met Luke on keys thanks to Gumtree/
His mate Geordie and him recorded for FG/
Time later Flame Griller had a band and a half/
Colin on bass, Ben on drums...Andy guitar/
But Illas on the MPC, triggering beats and/
Addverse on a plane...to chill in New Zealand/
So, Illas bounced and that left it, me, Colin, Andy, Ben, JND/
So I hit Luke up to see
If he wanted to supply melodies/
And he did and out of 100 loops as a group he was involved in maybe 70/
Got our act together, gigs and a 7" inch too
Put out Manners cos Martin Lovegrove is a dude/
Got us some radio 6 play and produced a beautiful cover/
They sold ok at gigs thanks to Lubi and others/
Cool times, some fun ones, then Luke bounced to London/
And I was running around looking for someone/
Got Johnny in for a session, Olly in for a session/
None of them were interested, and finding someone was stressful/
But I had met this dude at wardrobe behind the bar/
Got me a free drink and his biceps were kinda large/
Sorta guy Purple Aki might go for, said he played keys a little/
Asked him to come through, everybody, this is Diggle/
Colin knew him and wondered if I was ready for the experience/
But he was sick, I clearly was/
I have boundary issues/
He's gives hugs rather than handshakes
But I was initiating hugs
For some of the stuff the man played/
Did a gig and got us writing again/
But you can already tell where this is likely to end/
The call of the big smoke blowing smoke up his arse/
Flippin capital city fr;lkjaf eaf argh!
Back to five again
But I was damned if I was gonna jump online again/
And find a friend who could find a friend who knew some guy and then/
Give him the spiel, send him the tracks, send him the wax/
Tell him to come through, let it be slack/
I'd rather see it die than let it sit in a coma/
So unless you wanna audition, Tough Crowd is over/
If you're a keys player holla, we could definitely sort a/
Time and date for you to promise that you'll never leave Yorkshire//

CHORUS x2
And with the way that things are we're done for /
It's got my head spinning round and round /
Oh, here we go again /
