| 1 Urban Myths |
This song came about after I’d heard the same story three times, always told by people who “knew” the people to
whom it had happened.
|
| 2 King Canute |
We had the idea that famous people from the past might help solve modern day problems. Unfortunately the
wrong ones were asked!
|
| 3 The Dog |
Ever had a bad day when you think things can't get any worse? This is one of our most requested songs, which gets
funnier the more times you hear it.
|
| 4 Winter Lady |
One of two serious songs on this album, this was composed on a long walk on a freezing cold day. A bit of sexual
fantasy perhaps?
|
| 5 Bathtaps |
Bathroom and toilet humour, put into a song.
|
| 6 Marital Hiccups |
Written by Kath about me, most of which is true. “The hiccups in the song are mild compared to the real ones”,
she says. I’m saying nowt.
|
| 7 WD 40 |
After mending the gas cooker with this product, I had to write a song about it!
|
| 8 The Matlock Bath Lifeboat |
One of my poems. If you’ve ever seen Matlock Bath, you’ll understand the inspiration for this one.
|
| 9 Superglue |
A true story: it was in The Sun so it must be. With apologies to the couple to whom this really happened.
|
| 10 Cycling Along |
I wrote this while cycling to work. This was a silly thing to do as I kept dropping my pencil.
|
| 11 The Memorabilia Sales |
After someone had been prosecuted for selling faked memorabilia, this came out.
|
| 12 A “C” Shanty |
A traditional shanty, sung by sailors at sea as they programmed their computers.
|
| 13 Walk With Me |
The second serious song, composed while walking in Ireland a few years ago. Kath and I do a lot of walking
and while you’re walking you do a lot of thinking. Sometimes a song emerges.
|
| 14 The Suer |
Written after a couple of silly court cases, two of which are mentioned in the song. I used to say it
could only happen in the USA but not any more!
|
| 15 Jerusalem Artichokes |
Dedicated to the most wonderful vegetable ever grown!
