If it ain't one thing, it's another 02:37
lyrics

If it ain't one thing, it's another Prepare for the worst, hope for the best I'd like to think everything will be alright There's always trouble waiting in the wings Let me tell you Brother If it ain't one thing, it's another Days when it all goes on the floor Everything you touch turns to dust, can't take any more 'scuse me if I sound like me Muvva But if it ain't one thing, it's another Rush of blood to the Id As long as we live it could go either way So keep smiling and take it in your stride If it rains, get undercover 'Cos if it ain't one thing, it sure is another Sod's law or karma, such a bore, We'd better run, cos sure as there are little green men on Mars You're gonna discover If it ain't one thing Certain as I'm standing here When kingdom come At the very last minute something will crop up; typical Cos if it ain't one thing, sure is another Words and Music written by Martin Weller 2013

Laughter 02:18
lyrics

Laughter Whether you laugh like an agitated seagull - Sid James or a drain There's nothing better than to get oxygen into your lungs, heart and brain So chuckle, chortle, guffaw with all your might alternatives are no fun A table for one feeling hard done by like Soddom and Gommorah I love your smile and very pleasing demeanour You say “The blighters will never grind you down” You can't undermine/underestimate a dreamer the good times are all around Happy days despite the cancellation, a sunny January morning Actual natural light, instead of a veil of grey – hurray Simple pleasures - joys of life and laughter, times of no regret Fun, love, hope, sex, lust, thrill, beauty, nature, mirth and let us not forget Kissing and hugging haven't gone out of fashion I'm glad to say Despite the economic downturn Hard as “They” try they wont wipe the smile off your face So let us all laugh like agitated seagulls – Scooby Doo or an hyena We've got to learn not to take it all to heart A perky disposition will keep us in good humour as long as the party lasts Written by Martin Weller 2014

Petey 02:21
lyrics

Petey Poor little Petey, he's so needy, oh such a sweetie I wont hear a word against him, said It'll go to his head It's a matter of confidence The chap needs a career He's caught in a snare With a haunted 1000 yard stare Doubtlessly so talented Slightly out of focus Takes so much care But sometimes he's not even there Burning all his boats again In a big old winter coat One day it will work out Until then he'll have our deepest sympathy Either pomp or circumstance Some folks get it rough We can all have a laugh Whilst we're sorting it Wont hear a word against him, said It'll go to his head Dread - won't get out of his bed Led - can't let go of his meds Words written by Martin Weller Music written by Martin Weller & Laurie Ward 2014

Mind the gap 03:04
lyrics

Mind the gap Mind the gap between platform and train Ignore the damage to emotion and brain function Take in the view at Clapham Junction Clearing the decks for whatever's next Get out and have a good time Make sure you put the brakes on your buggy Stand well back and you'll be fine Remember next time, it's platform 9, don't fall onto the track I thought I heard someone say, but it's hard to tell these days Going Mutt and Jeff and bacon rind into the bargain I say my dear old thing, what an awful shambles I don't know about a gap, more like a leap of faith Why don't they make the things to fit right in the first place Stand behind the line; could be committing a crime Don't leave yourself unattended Whatever you do, arrive before your time is due Even tho' you feel like giving somebody a slap It's preferable to simply mind the gap Inaudible important announcements & communications Why does everything have to be so loud? Helps to confuse the mind of a crowd Five and Nine; The Brighton line; Don't stick your head out the window You might get taken one way; off to Gauntanamo Bay Minte diferenta akili pengo Written by Martin Weller © 2014

Trash can bombings 04:29
lyrics

Trash can bombings Trash can bombings stirring the silt Boston rocked North America shocked Who's to blame home-grown or infidel? Labour day vacationists A small incident which will ripple Warm weather in May breeds gun madness in Chicago Boston (Brighton), Beirut, Baghdad, Birmingham - Bombings Something to do with the letter 'B' - I doubt it but Let's enjoy the conspiracy (We love it) Clutching at straws Bland destruction by subjugation Heading down a flat-out two-lane Delta highway in July Heat snakes rising from the tarmac in pools of shimmering silver Stop blaming the foreigners for the plight of our country Instead of using tanks The 4th Reich is taking control of banks Breaking the backs of economies Pernicious disease Duck and cover, what a joke Save you from the A bomb, not on your Nelly Bottom feeders, or is it bottom feelers? Blame the schwartzers and 'stanis Followed by the Twitterati Suicide is on the rise among the 30 to 45s Words written by Martin Weller Music written by Martin Weller & Laurie Ward 2014

Anti Matter attack 02:25
lyrics

Anti Matter attack There's something strange about today A hush that I cant quite hear A lack of something unexplainable fills the atmosphere No radio or TV on Devices make no sound You can't use that old main frame No one moving on the football ground Word gets around Someone said the banks and shops are closed; shut down No access to your funds Trillions of pounds World systems have been hacked We are the victims of an anti matter; democlatter; can't be arsed, not my problem jack; bon ennui attack Magnetic force, counter matter, molecular interruption The price we will pay for global destruction; (political corruption) It's no joke; it's true They've been threatening for years To take you down This ain't Dr Who No access to your hard earned cash No nevermind you can't go back World systems neutralised Victim of an anti shatter; democratic; can't be arsed, not my problem Jack; let some one else clean up the crap Bon ennui attack Words & Music written by Martin Weller 2013

You know Jack 03:55

You know Jack Dedicated to Rogue Beer Meister, Jack Joyce Give it your best shot; You will stand out from the rest Just be so good they can't ignore you Born in the ghetto Not from the wrong side of the tracks, but born on 'em Always been a street kid; Hate rich people, even tho' I am one The only salesman; Taking 7 kegs on the back of my Izuzu Going bar to bar, giving the samples, see if they liked the stuff Course they hated it Hoppy, golden 30 IBU; I was on the road Staying in Motel sixes; It was hard but a simpler life for sure Just because you're nice doesn't mean other people will treat you nice Don't let your guard down Rogue is gr8 We try to learn from our mistakes We like to be - authentic Well that girl's just smarter than shit Ready, aim – hell just fire it We're not doing brain surgery here We like to hire hardcore unemployables Guys and gals with tattoos that ain't been to jail You've got to have passion man, else you're gonna fail Clarity is very important to us if a little hard to get used to Remember people lie just to make you feel good They'll lie to you, they'll lie to you They cover it up – we speak the truth Then there's energy givers and takers Stay away from the latter; you need the power of your friends Everything is your own fault if you're any good Most people react to criticism instead of listening to its content Accept it, don't just reject it; dare, risk, dream We just don't have any fear; the game is scheduled We have to play so we might as well win; either make dust, or eat it Some drink at the fountain of knowledge, others they just sip But if you do your best you will stand out from the rest Just be so good, they can't ignore you Words as spoken by Jack Joyce Music written by Martin Weller 2014

Dump the 'ump 02:29

Dump the 'ump I've seen better days in some ways Can't afford new clothes or shoes Other needs get in the way Everyone is under the cosh, feeling the pinch, working at a loss While the boss man says he's cutting your pay Dump the 'ump, get out of the slump It's ok to feel that way / apart from this and that I'm alright brother it's all the others Can't trust my memory, it's another first time around What I thought I knew just ain't the truth My car's broke, got no money to fix it I'd take a chance, but I'm too poor to risk it Nothing but the blues left to lose Dump the 'ump, get out of the slump It really doesn't matter We can all have a moan, we're not sitting on a throne Stop the rot, put the kibosh on it Nip it in the bud, get out and sort it It all takes time and time takes us all in the end Strength in survival, learn to be humile ;) It all costs too much to do properly So we'll just have to make the best of it Do what comes naturally – dump it, bin bag it, no confession required.....

Be nice 03:30

Be nice It's Mr Spiky, here he comes again He's not a bad man Just thinks he's God almighty Paranoia is not his game He may be mad but not insane A fairly level-headed fellow If highly strung Not quite in tune with what's going on Comes out a little flat Sometimes he tries so hard to fit in Nothing really wrong with that When he's in a fug He can be evil in a petty, niggly way Give it up Spike for a bit, be nice like Linda says I can be so deliciously dark Not always possible for niceties to be observed Human species let us not forget Is part of nature; beautiful destruction Wrecking ball smash it all – wrecking ball smash it all Enjoy the sights and sounds; be nice to be around - Be nice Words written by Martin Weller Music written by Martin Weller & Laurie Ward 2014

Imagine that 02:11

Imagine that He liked a drink at home - Imagine that And a smoke She necks a bottle of wine a night trying to find some hope It's wearing you out The lack of communication How hard can it be? Seems like a simple situation What is it with some people? Fob you off with some old chat Saying nothing about this and that Playing for time, yours not theirs If the boot was on the the other foot And we were in control Imagine that scenario Hate to be ignored Such boorish behaviour It's amazing when you want something Everyone is supposed to drop what they're doing Imagine that scenario Words written by Martin Weller Music written Martin Weller & Laurie Ward 2014

Remember the love Remember the love they all gave you Wear it with pride and let it fill your heart with Joy I sit and contemplate There is sorrow in Stump Town The end of summer breeze makes people restless I passed the place where we met Broadway has turned out the lights But I wont forget Remember the love when you are Picking up the pieces of your life All things can change when the wind blows a different direction Words and Music written by Martin Weller 2014
