DC7 03:34

It’s no good talking ‘bout flying round the world when you can’t even get out of bed When I said I’d go travelling with you that’s exotic, not just off the top of your head. Coast to coast by bus is OK but I’m thinking ‘bout much further afield And if you say you don’t like this - well I’m not staying home just cooling my heels Days just rush past Time flies too fast I just can't stay Got to get away Holidays, holidays - yes I love 'em Going on my holidays, holidays - yes I love 'em Going on my holidays, holidays - yes I love 'em Going on my holidays, holidays - yes I love 'em, love 'em Get your bags packed - we're leaving today - the DC7's waiting there for us now Get a move on or I’ll go on my own - I’m not sure I want to take you with me anyhow Taxi’s outside, we’re taking off soon - there’ll be traffic jams all down the M62 Don’t know why I bother but here we go again - off on a plane to the Costa Del Luz Days just rush past Time flies too fast I just can't stay Got to get away Holidays, holidays - yes I love 'em Going on my holidays, holidays - yes I love 'em Going on my holidays, holidays - yes I love 'em Going on my holidays, holidays - yes I love 'em, love 'em

Funland 04:41
lyrics

Rock and Roll, I remember it so well In the days when we went out, chasing the dream We didnʼt think about this We could do anything, anything, we could And then it changed - pay now, slow right down Welcome to Funland - this is where you stop Funk and soul, we fell in love with the dancing In the clubs with the blue light, feeling the groove We never thought about this We could go anywhere, anywhere, we could Itʼs not the same - scrape by, keep your head down Welcome to Funland - this is where you stop This is where you rock up - you rock till you drop UFO, tripping away through the night With the sounds and the colours, moving our hearts We didnʼt know about this We could be anyone, anyone, we could So long ago, so near, who we are Yes it all changed - pay now, slow right down Welcome to Funland - this is where you stop This is where you rock up - you rock till you drop Welcome to Funland - this is where you stop This is where you rock up - you rock till you drop

Slow Lane 04:14
lyrics

There's a sign in the distance, there's some weather ahead Been travelling a long time, I followed, you led I'm not sure where I'm going, but I'm well on the way I'm not going to argue, I'll do what you say I'm driving in the slow lane, I'm pushing sixty-eight Don't want to be too early, I don't want to be late I'm staying on the inside, I want to feel secure You go as fast as you like, I need to hang on to my fuel The gearbox is noisy, and the wheels getting worn The windscreen's getting misty, but I'm glad I was born I'm still right behind you on this road that we share Wherever it takes us, I know we're going somewhere I'm driving in the slow lane, I'm pushing sixty-eight Don't want to be too early, I don't want to be late I'm staying on the inside, I want to feel secure You go as fast as you like, I need to hang on to my fuel

Click it Away 04:51
lyrics

Is that a mirror there or a window? It was OK where'd it go? Is that a president or a game show? Itʼs all changed - I donʼt know How can something so solid disappear? Is that the world out there, or illusion? Can I touch it? I donʼt know Noises everywhere, confusion Click it away - that's better How can something so real become bad dreams? Did something happen when I was asleep`? Something happened Or was I awake? I never saw it I thought it couldn't be bad Couldn't see it I wish I had Someone else's truth, Or a shadow, It's spreading everywhere - what do we know? I don't believe them now - perhaps I never will Can I stop now? Let me go How can something so real become bad dreams Did something happen when I was asleep? Something happened Or was I awake I never saw it I thought it couldn't be bad Couldn't see it I wish I had

G-String Love 04:45
lyrics
buy track
When there's a thousand miles of ocean Between me and her All the years that passed by Since we last met With children grown and gone And time that's slipped away We meet again it's coincidence One cold rainy day I always loved her And if the London train had left on time That Friday afternoon Or if the sun had come out For just one day We would have followed other paths Through fields so meaningless Instead we found each other No more loneliness I always loved her No-one could have told us how this could come to be Not what she expected - to find me And I had been so restless A leaf blown in the air Something good was happening And now we’re both here. I always loved her

Not the Same 04:21
lyrics

See me looking right again Don't you know I'm feeling so high? Feeling good again, like I did before That's what I like, that's what I like But it's not the same I'm in a different place I can't get there again Hey look - the sun's come out today Never knew it could be so bright So good to be here - like we were before It feels right, it feels right But it's not the same It's not so easy now But when the days are fine I might get there again take me there again See me looking right again Don't you know I'm feeling so high? Don't you know I'm feeling so high? That's what I like, that's what I like And it's not the same It's not so easy now But when the days are fine I might get there again take me there again Not the same It's not so easy now But when the days are fine I might get there again take me there again

Shadows 03:44
lyrics

Shadows, just over there in the moonlight Shadows, come down between you and me Sorrow surprised me, don't leave me here all alone in the Shadows of a life that's past And up on the moor with the cold wind in my face There's sunshine lighting up the snow Sorrow, comes on me just like a shiver Sorrow, some things I never will say, Shadows of your voice come to my ears in the night, such sorrow, I won't see you ever again And though there's no-one that will ever take your place You showed me how to find my way Tomorrow, I'll plant some seeds in the garden Tomorrow, I'll take a walk by the sea Say hello, how are you, to someone I’ve never met Get mellow, try feeling love, not regret

It's All Gone 04:00

If you donʼt get me now Youʼre never gonna get me again I wonʼt tell you how Youʼll just have to work it out yourself Just keep away I donʼt like the way you look at me Donʼt get me now Itʼs all gone (out of my face, get out of my face) Donʼt look at me that way I said donʼt you look at me that way Get away, get away It's not black, it's white I'm never going to listen to you Itʼs not true itʼs a lie I detest everything you do Iʼm not wrong, Iʼm right Iʼm not going to talk about it Donʼt ask me why Itʼs all gone. (out of my face, get out of my face) Donʼt talk to me that way I said donʼt you talk to me that way Get away, get away Going to stay in the house Iʼm not going to do anything Iʼm not going to listen Just going to scream at you I want to smash my mouse It all winds me up so much Donʼt ask me why Itʼs all gone. (out of my face, get out of my face) Donʼt look at me that way I said donʼt look at me that way Get away, get away

Thing 04:19
lyrics

A crack in a mirror, a fault in the sky A strange sense of difference in the air And something creeping by caught my eye A glow in the darkness, a movement without sound One touch, nothing’s ever the same You really shouldn’t let it come near It’s not from here From somewhere dark and old It made my hair stand on end It touched me, turned me cold And now I wander, alone in the night A thing, not a man, from the dark If only someone had turned me away I limp through the woodland, I creep on the moors I wait for redemption, it never arrives You really shouldn’t let me come near I’m not from here From somewhere dark and old I’ll make your hair stand on end I’ll touch you, turn you cold

Bad Men 03:47
lyrics
buy track
We know theyʼre out there They look like you and me Share the atmosphere But they never pay They run investment banks They pay think tanks Use tax havens Stash it away Youʼll never meet them Theyʼve got security Live in the stratosphere No they never pay They build basements They got big yachts They seek expansion But we pay the cost Bad men want the money - they donʼt care If they had the means theyʼd sell you the air Donʼt ever think that they should pay their share Not on the TV, Not on your network, You know theyʼre out there But they hide away They've got big estates Behind locked gates They wonʼt come near you No they hide away They fund the right wing But they donʼt say they do Theyʼll do anything to stay at the top Theyʼre just gangsters Say they obey the law, They cheat the system So letʼs make them stop Whichever way you voted they always survive Hedge funds keep them rich when economies dive And we keep letting it happen, how can we fight them? Too much corruption Too much apathy So much deception To service their greed Lets take the power back, take the water back Let's take the trains back, take just what we need Let's take the banks back, take the phones back Take it all back, letʼs co-operate Letʼs work together We need to agitate Letʼs help each other Before itʼs too late Bad men want the money - they donʼt care If they had the means theyʼd sell you the air Donʼt ever think that they should pay their share

Uncle Wally and Uncle Steve Hebden Bridge, UK

Steve and Wally live in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire.

They're knocking on a bit, but still planning on livin' the dream some time soon...

Sound on Sound magazine's Nell McCloud said of their first album 'Songs From a Shed':
"a tribute to just about every musical genre of the past 100 years, all in 49 and a half minutes. Bonkers? Undoubtedly. Successful? Partly. Enjoyable? Um, yes, yes it is." ... more
