Doing my thing
Yeah so I dance like Travolta with a stroke
My moves may be cheap but you can tell I'm going for broke
And if you took a look in my direction, you might see that I have an erection
I've got three kids and a mortgage b***h
But to tell you the truth tonight I don't give a s**t
Cos I'm out on the town, I'm gonna paint it red
And the way things are going I may end up dead
Cos I'm doing my thing
Baby I don't care
I'm doing my thing
It's like you're not there
I'm doing my thing
And if you don't get it
I've one thing to say
And don't you forget it
F**k you
Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na
I'm the oldest f**ker in the club by far
Acting like a dick like a real superstar
I may come across as mentally challenged
I can't seem to keep my sense of balance
I'm gonna get well f**ked up all night
Gotta work in the morning but that's alright,
Cos I know that tomorrow never comes
And if it does I'm having too much fun
Cos I'm doing my thing
Baby I don't care
I'm doing my thing
It's like you're not there
I'm doing my thing
And if you don't get it
I've one thing to say
And don't you forget it
F**k you
Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na
if I keep this s**t up I know I’m gonna die
And ever now and then it kinda makes me wanna cry
gotta think of my kids cos to be honest
they deserve better than a pool of vomit
I’m gonna cut this s**t out right now
Or at least tomorrow unless somehow
I could stop the voices in my head
Saying every time I wanna go to bed
Have another beer, have another line, have another beer, have a good time
Where the drunks, where the punks where the girls at
Where the freaks where the geeks of the world at
Where the drugs, where the blunts where the booze at
You wanna go to sleep
Nah f**k that.
Cos I'm doing my thing
Baby I don't care
I'm doing my thing
It's like you're not there
I'm doing my thing
And if you don't get it
I've one thing to say
And don't you forget it
Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na

What Went Wrong

What Went Wrong
When we met we were very young
All we thought about was having fun
But in the end when the deed was done
We both agreed on the long run
So we had lots and lots of sex
I remember well it was the best
When we got married on a beach
Your beauty blew me off my feet
But three kids and mortgage later
We were caught in a routine,
we had lost sight of our dreams,
Yeah we were barely human beings.
Subject to sleep deprivation
A deep sense of frustration,
We were both wondering
Well what went wrong
You tell me all your dreams and I don't care
I turn around to touch you're not there
But do you remember when we were beautiful?
Baby, what went wrong?
We were having arguments,
We were both downright adamant,
Gain of cause was paramount,
The whole affair was tantamount
o a nightmare.
You were distraught,
And I, in short, wasn’t there.
You gave me signals with flashing lights
But I just didn’t really care
You fell in love with someone else
And I forgot to love myself
I wasn’t taking care of you
Not the way you wanted me to.
It finally occurred to me
I simply just had to be strong.
I took a long look in the mirror
And asked what went wrong
You tell me all your dreams and I don't care
I turn around to touch you're not there
But do you remember when we were beautiful?
Baby, what went wrong?

Champions

Champions
It was july 2008
On a Sunday afternoon
it was getting late
I tuned in to the wimbledon final
Roger Federer was facing his rival
Nadal was winning, he was up two sets
and my friend kept on grinning
which was making me upset
he said “don’t worry mate, cos it ain’t over yet”
And low and behold they were soon neck a neck.
It was a nerve-racking experience ; I drank a lot of whisky
And that fourth set tiebreaker almost f**king killed me
By the end of the match we were dazed and confused
My friend looked at me and said “how can he lose?
We all wanna be champions that’s true
Then again what are ya gonna do ?
If you can’t do s**t mate that’s alright
We’re just gonna get s**t faced all night
We all wanna be champions that’s true
Then again what are ya gonna do ?
Boy, you’re fronting like a champion
You’ve even got your own theme song
But your s**t show wont last long
Cos you ain’t got a clue why going on
Boy, you ain’t no f**king champion
Nah, you ain’t no f**king champion
you ain’t no f**king champion
you ain’t no f**king champion
Suddenly it’s four in the morning
i’m meandering through tescos
Buying frozen pizza and a little pot of pesto
I got a case of the munchies
cos I had a liquid lunch, i had had a liquid everything every day for the last month
When I get back to the flat my mate is passed
Out on the sofa
I give him a little shove to check he aint in a coma
He groans a little bit so I decide that he’s ok
I pour myself a glass of wine and reflect on my day
I contemplate the obstacles on my quest to achieving greatness.
I wonder what would roger do? Most likely something gracious.
The sun comes up, holy f**k is that the time?
I decide to go to bed as I have finished all the wine
We all wanna be champions that’s true
Then again what are ya gonna do ?
If you can’t do s**t mate that’s alright
We’re just gonna get s**t faced all night
We all wanna be champions that’s true
Then again what are ya gonna do ?
Boy, you’re fronting like a champion
You’ve even got your own theme song
But your s**t show wont last long
Cos you ain’t got a clue why going on
Boy, you ain’t no f**king champion
Nah, you ain’t no f**king champion
you ain’t no f**king champion
you ain’t no f**king champion

HOLLYWOOD
I be riding in my neighbourhood
think I’m feeling kind of good
Acting like it’s Hollywood
Got my zone like I’m Robin Hood
Indeed there’s a Hollywood
I’m a dog outside these crossing roads
Song’s like my attitude
Always deepens on my mood
I was born in a squat on Hazelrig road,
then I moved to Brixton when I was two years old,
I went to school near Brockwell park,
way before the synagogue became a car park
Back then the neighbourhood wasn’t quite as quiet
We lost a car in the Brixton riots,
it was flipped upside down and set on fire.
I watched from the window as the flames rose higher
I’m Brixton born and raised,
Latchkey taught me how to behave,
How to play backgammon, how to cheat at rummy,
To never back down and always land running.
I work a day shift cos i need to feed my kids,
I got a makeshift studio to drop ad libs
And if this may seem like fun and games well s**t
Life ain’t always what it seems is it ?
I be riding in my neighbourhood
think I’m feeling kind of good
Acting like it’s Hollywood
Got my zone like I’m Robin Hood
I maintain this thick feelin
Im ready for that quick winning
Like blow out, overnight
Im slowed up but I keep speeding
that's soul searchin now happenin
Had the gold rush now its more chillin
Too rough for my own town
Thats too much
For a gold diggin
In a sense Im not here
Im not now
Im so faded
Intervene that skin girl
so wasted
Im so wit it
Pretty girl you move well
But that thin body
Gotta get fat
Cant front wit em big curves
And I dig that
I be riding in my neighbourhood
think I’m feeling kind of good
Acting like it’s Hollywood
Got my zone like I’m Robin Hood
Well I’ve lived in London and I’ve lived in Paris
I could live on the road with a horse and carriage
Wherever i lay my head to rest
Is the place in the world that i love best
And I’ll be riding through my neighbourhood
Acting like it’s Hollywood
I’m in my zone like I’m Robin Hood
Yeah…

Back From the Dead

Back from the Dead
Wake up, under my bed
feeling just like a pig has s**t in my head
Can't remember what happened last night
Hope to f**k that everything is alright
That i didn't hurt anybody,
who didn't deserve it
And the red stains on my shirt
are just strawberry sherbet
It seems like I'm having a panic attack
But It's cos ok I'm used to that
To navigate through this stormy weather
I Need to get my s**t together
I'm on my way to the barbers
I'm gonna have s**t, shave and a haircut
Then some coffee and maybe some eggs
With a bit of bacon well that would be perfect
This s**t will bring me back from the dead
Hell yeah, I’m back from the dead!
Get in a fight with my girlfriend
She says were not communicating
But deep down I know the real reason is
I wont take her ice skating
I tell her that I don't like the cold
And that I have sensitive skin
She calls me a real a***hole
and kicks me in the shin
I say that she's being unfair
She's not acknowledging my needs
So she grabs me by the hair
And hits me in the till i bleed
II'm on my way to the barbers
I'm gonna have s**t, shave and a haircut
Then some coffee and maybe some eggs
With a bit of bacon well that would be perfect
This s**t will bring me back from the dead
Hell yeah, I’m back from the dead!
Turn up late to work again
And the managers on my case
And as he's yelling at me he spits right in my face
So I tell him a thing or two about personal hygiene
He really flips his lid and becomes quite obscene
I explain that language is unbecoming of his job
He turns bright fucking red and tells me to f**k off
I'm on my way to the barbers
I'm gonna have s**t, shave and a haircut
Then some coffee and maybe some eggs
With a bit of bacon well that would be perfect
This s**t will bring me back from the dead
Hell yeah, I’m back from the dead!
