The Half Man Half Biscuit Lyrics Project

Busking this at Embankment Tube tomorrow

179 pop songs picked over by pedants

Whit Week Malarkey

Up in the trees down on the ground
High in the hills under the sea
People playing low-key warm-up gigs
Performing tasters from their new LP

We just got back from Greek isle Kos
Didn’t see no Vicky Leandros
We had a 96-track studio
And it was haunted by a Red Indian

See what we’ve got in the pipeline
The Edge said we could maybe buy-on
Met him at prestigious Marquee Club
Mixed a storming set by Vow Wow
Vow Wowowow

Oooh he’s here again
The man with the gaffer tape supplies
We’ll blow the headline act away
Cos we’ve brought a coachload down with us

Whit Week malarkey on the prom
Eyes down, look in
Win beige headboard
She’s got a green belt in astrology
And I’ve got a black belt
In NoCanDo

My turn soon on Karaoke
Girl nearby asks who I might be
May be Boz Scaggs singing “Lido”
Or I might just up and leave

Just up and leave…
