The Big House 04:44
lyrics
buy track
Well I've been out here since yesterday Somebody threw the keys away Let me in the big house I want to be in the big house When trouble came I was on my own I didn't hear the others go Let me in the big house I want to be in the big house There's people coming in a limousine I can see there on the TV screen Let me in the big house I want to be in the big house Now someone's banging on my door I can't stay round here any more Let me in the big house Got to be in the big house

Doing Nothing 04:10
lyrics
buy track
The years fly by and the birds fill the sky And the love of my life is sitting by the window While the boys with the guns and the girls who are bombs And the preachers of hate are just a day away. And it’s all so far But it’s all so near And it’s all so new But it’s all so old So what’s a fairer way Won’t let it all slip away So the boats and the yachts I can see from my house Just floating there doing nothing in the water While someone walks to an empty well and the buckets on their backs Take the skin on their shoulders away And it’s all so far But it’s all so near And it’s all so new But it’s all so old Do what the money says The banks call and the world obeys

Calahonda Beach 03:42
lyrics
buy track
There’s something going on On Calahonda Beach You don’t want to stay too long On Calahonda Beach It’s under the water And it’s coming after you. I was lying there In the sunshine With her Then I saw it On the surface I was scared So just keep away From Calahonda Beach You really shouldn’t stay At Calahonda Beach It’s under the water And it’s coming after you It was glowing In the water Just there. She was crying And I was running We had to get out of there.

When I See Her 04:08
lyrics
buy track
Every time it's different somehow Every time it's new It's like I've never seen her before But when I see her face, see her eyes It comes as no surprise And I wouldn't have it any other way And there's always one thing that I want to say Rose Maria, can I see you? Every day when I walk in the door It's like I've never been away I don't know the games my memory plays And if I hear a sound, see a light I know it'll be all right And it's the only place that I want to be Two boys, Rose Maria and me Rose Maria, can I see you? Every time it's different somehow Every time it's new It's like I've never seen her before But when I see her face, see her eyes It comes as no surprise And I wouldn't have it any other way And there's always one thing that I want to say Rose Maria, can I see you?

Everything Evolves 03:02
lyrics
buy track
I'm trying to pull the right strings Take it to the end Reach a good conclusion again But she's not helping She's never there Oh well, that's life. Do me like you used to Do it one more time Take me to the future Be Min But she's not trying she don't care Oh well, that's life So one more time then Before it all dissolves Everything changes Everything evolves

Keep On 05:23
lyrics
buy track
Well I've been looking for a long time Ain't gonna find it here They said son you're going to do fine But I ain't getting anywhere Well I've travelled round this island Drinking beer and drinking wine Damaged pieces of anatomy It's the end of the line So keep on thinking it Keep on drinking it Soon you're going to sink in it I'm getting out I watch the news on the telly I read the papers on the train I've got a beer-gut belly And a bottle shaped brain I could have moved to the country No crowded tubes for weeks But the pretty little cottages Are packed full with flying freaks Keep on faking it Keep on taking it Soon you're going to bake in it I'm getting out I just said I'm getting out of it But there's nowhere left to go Things are speeding up around me And I'm just getting slow This song's getting boring It'll never reach the top Song and singer are the same thing And the song is going to stop So keep on thinking it Keep on drinking it Soon you're going to sink in it I'm getting out

Take Me Dancing 03:46
lyrics
buy track
She was in her garden With her children by her side Looking through the flowers at me Did I see what they could see? Why did it stop raining? Did the sun come out for her? Saw the children smile at me Thought I heard her start to say Take me dancing Won't you take me dancing with you? We're in her car now Driving down to Hebden Bridge She's wearing her red dress Got high heels on her feet I'm getting nervous now Does she still like my style? Does she think I look all right? Does she want to dance all night? Take me dancing Won't you take me dancing with you? And then it's two o'clock The band's stopped playing now Will she take me home with her? Please can I wake up with her? And we just fell asleep In each other's arms Go before the children wake As I leave she asks again Take me dancing Won't you take me dancing with you?

My Place 03:10
lyrics
buy track
Well I was blown away When you walked by I couldn’t believe my eyes. In twenty years there hasn’t been a day I didn’t dream, I didn’t dream Your face But if you come over my place tonight, Will you come over my place tonight? Do you remember me The day I walked away? And still I don’t know why To see you here again Takes my breath, takes my breath Away But if you come over my place tonight, Will you come over my place tonight? If you come over my place tonight Will you come over my place tonight?

Duke Street 03:50
lyrics
buy track
Well I’m stuck here on the street I’ve been waiting for the lights to change Take me to the country Take me out again But I always come back to Duke Street Don’t want to travel alone But I feel I should You know I could Don’t want to stay at home Cos outside just feels so good So put me on that train With a ticket to somewhere new Get me to a station Where the sky is blue But I always come back to Duke Street Don’t want to travel alone But I feel I should You know I could Don’t want to stay at home Cos outside just feels so good Take me to the airport And put me on a plane Down to Los Naranjos South of Spain But I always come back to Duke Street

Tamborim 04:57
lyrics
buy track
If you take the bus to Carmona Then walk by the paddy fields If you're flying down to Dabolim Come over to Tamborim There's eagles there and buffalo And palm trees in the breeze The beach is wide, it goes for miles There's dolphins in the sea At Tamborim you can fall in love At Tamborim you'll see At Tamborim where the sky is blue At Tamborim come swim with me The tightrope girl and the drummer boy Nikita with her rings The fishing boats, the pashmina man The peace that winter brings A kingfisher, a bee-eater An osprey there for me The coconuts, bougainvillea It's heaven by the sea At Tamborim you can fall in love At Tamborim you'll see At Tamborim where the sky is blue At Tamborim come swim with me

Don't Run Away 04:01
lyrics
buy track
When I saw you up there in the spotlight I knew I’d fall in love with you Singing low and sweet in the sun and the rain But you didn’t see me through the lights on the stage And I knew that you never would But I wanted you then, I still do And I’d do it all again Don’t run away Don’t go away from me Don’t run away You knew you were meant for me It was ten o’clock in the evening at the festival When I saw you up there You sang that song about the rainbow light in the midday rain I just couldn’t believe my eyes Don’t run away Don’t go away from me Don’t run away You knew you were meant for me As the last song came to an end And the crowd called for more You bowed and said goodbye Well I ran to the stage with my heart in my mouth And I shouted to you Be mine, be mine tonight.

Planet Zed 03:56
lyrics
buy track
Well you shake it with your left claw Then you shake it with your right Shake it on the full moon Give us all a fright Act like you come from another dimension (with six eyes) Hiding from the Men in Black But careful now you’d better pay attention (or get neuralised) They’ll stun you then they’ll send you back To Planet Zed Do a wiggle with your back wings Do a squiggle with your arm Everybody’s terrified There’s an alien alarm Run like a thing from another star system (with huge feet) Take leaps that are eight miles high Use a Klingon accent to confuse them Nach viersisk schnetelai Get into your saucer and fly To Planet Zed Stop fiddling with your aura Get your force fields in line You’re an alien explorer From another space and time We know we can’t hurt you with our puny weapons (they’re useless) You’re always going to be alive So out to the desert, into the spacecraft (it’s shiny) Blast off, engage hyperdrive To Planet Zed

Over There 03:50
lyrics
buy track
See them way over there See them way up in the air They won’t fly with me They won’t fly with me But I’ll still get there any way I can Run away with me Run away with me Run away Will you run over there with me? Take the mist from my eyes Make the water vapourise Let me see outside Let me see outside But I’ll still get there any way I can Run away with me Run away with me Run away Will you run over there with me?

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
