Well, looks like Thursday night is open mic night on The Bat and Belfry stage, so here's my drunken offering
I must stop going to parties ( Alan Hull ) from: Sleepless Nights by Lindisfarne... (with slight amendments by AndyK to make it forum relelvant)
-----------------------------
Chorus:
I must stop going to parties, I think they're doing me in
my hair is falling out and I'm getting kind of thin.
I must stop going to parties, for that there is no doubt
next time you see me there, will you kindly throw me out
I must stop going to parties, and hanging about.
For instance take last friday, when Mousie came to tea
I thought I had enough to drink, but not enough for me
he said would I like to accompany him, to a place just over the hill
I said I really shouldn't, but perhaps I think I will.
Chorus:
You seen the same old faces, you've seen them all before
you're gonna get so wasted, you won't be able to walk out the door
then someone comes on heavy, 'bout the war in what's it's name
I say I think you're out of date mate, shouldn't that be the other place.
Chorus:
Well the punch has all been drunk and the drunks have all been punched,
the mods are all irate and R is out to lunch
I don't know why I came in here, I'm such a weak-kneed creep
I must stop going to parties, I've got to get some sleep.
A pint of Black Sheep for me tonight please
