Don't Look Down 03:32
lyrics
buy track
You can take a look anywhere you want to look But don’t look down You can take a walk anywhere you want to walk But don’t look down On the mountain side, clouds are closing in You’re on your own. Back home the fire burns warm and strong for her You wish you’d kept your promise You wish that you’d stayed true to her like you said you would You can take a look anywhere you want to look But don’t look down You can take a walk anywhere you want to walk But don’t look down High above the town, wind begins to howl You’re all alone No sign to tell you where to go - just where you’ve been You wish you’d told the truth You understand at last that you just ain’t no good You can take a look anywhere you want to look But don’t look down You can take a walk anywhere you want to walk But don’t look down

Catch Me 04:28
lyrics

I’m running down Calle Santo There’s a message on my phone I’ve got to find somewhere safe to run I need a rest, I just can’t go on I’m going to keep on running And you won’t catch me You can keep on coming But you're never going to catch me Came up here to the Albaicin I lost the bike in some back alley I'm hiding out on Plaza San Miguel I’ve got to get this stuff away from me I’m going to keep on running You won’t catch me You can keep on coming But you're never going to catch me Now I'm driving down to Almuñécar And there's a black truck just behind Throw it all out the window Now there's nothing there for them to find I’m going to keep on running You won’t catch me You can keep on coming But you're never going to catch me

Fags, Drugs and Wine 02:33
lyrics
buy track
Well we had a little wobble in the morning And we did a little shake in the daytime. A little bit slower in the evening But we were full on in the night time. We really love it just like this We spend our lives in a state of bliss Float on a memory Dream all the time No exercise or discipline, Just fags drugs and wine. Feeling pretty ropey on the next day A little bit poorly round lunchtime Very very shaky round teatime But things were looking up round pubtime We really love it just like this Out every evening on the piss Float on a memory Dream all the time No exercise or discipline Just fags drugs and wine

All Over 03:19
lyrics

Seventy-six was a very good year I was young and happy, I was feeling good, Had a house, a job, a family too Then you came to the neighbourhood We drank a bit and we smoked some too The living was bright and free And then one night as the pub doors shut You put your arms around me It’s a sweet affair when you say you’re mine And I get that feeling all over me Going nowhere, that’s just fine Cos I get that feeling all over me And here we are with the years gone by Never thought we’d ever meet up again Slip away from the crowds and the noise Hold hands in the pouring rain It’s a sweet affair when you say you’re mine And I get that feeling all over me Going nowhere, that’s just fine Cos I get that feeling all over me

Looking for You 05:04
lyrics

Looking for you Yeah I was looking for you The streets and the parks, everywhere I was looking for you I can still remember fifteen I was only a boy in sixty-four Was it your reflection in the water Was it you walking out the door Were you looking for me I don’t think so Looking for me Just waiting right through that night Were you looking for me And you were standing on the corner Six o’clock and nothing to do Did you smile at me or were you laughing How to meet you, I didn’t have a clue Looking for you Yeah I was looking for you The streets and the parks, everywhere I was looking for you Were you looking for me I don’t think so Looking for me Just waiting right through that night Were you looking for me I was looking; still looking I was looking; still looking I was looking; still looking I was looking; I’m still looking I was looking; still looking

The Waves 05:47
lyrics

Sometimes you don't see what's coming Sometimes it's right there Sometimes people tell you things And sometimes you ain't anywhere I was looking for a place to hide I was looking for protection I was looking for something else But then they came, then they came The waves And nowadays there's nothing else Nowadays it's all blue I guess nobody listened I guess it was overdue I was trying to get back home I was trying to find my friends I was hoping it wasn't true But everywhere, everywhere The waves

Staying In (2020 remix) 05:30
lyrics

Well I do it when it’s raining and I do it when it snows I do it in the evening when the daylight goes I do it when it’s windy and I do it when it’s cold I did it in the old days and now I’m doing what I’m told Look at the crossword water the plants play a bit of scrabble have a little dance Ring up the grandkids worry about my mum have a cup of coffee put the radio on Staying in I love staying in Staying in I love staying in Staying in Why don’t you stay in? I used to like going out but now I love staying in.

The Virtuous Child 04:52
lyrics
buy track
A young man stands looking down at you He has right on his side For god is good and the path is true Without doubt, fearless, justified He’s travelled miles in the desert heat From his family, chickens and goats He’s been given new purpose in life In the name of his prophet he'll cut your throat But he could have been a beautiful baby He might have been a wonderful child Bringing joy to his mother When he smiled And his holy book says 'the virtuous child Is a flower from the flowers of paradise Among the good fortunes of a man Is the virtuous child' Somewhere in a bunker with his eyes on a screen Another young man sees for miles Looking down on a seaside strip A split second while the data compiles It’s just like one of his video games He does what he knows he must His finger moves, it’s all it takes To turn people and houses to dust But he could have been a beautiful baby He might have been a wonderful child Bringing joy to his mother When he smiled And his holy book says to him That 'the highest form of wisdom is kindness Save one life, you save the world Fathers, keep your sons from lies'

Other People 04:12
lyrics

They're banging on the back door I'll have to go and see I only said come round And have a nice cup of tea They're in the local paper On the letters page Them and their point of view I've got neighbour rage They're ringing on the telephone Their kids are on TV They're on my Facebook Lock the door Where's the key? They're coming through the front door Get them away from me It's not a bit like I thought it was going to be Other people, other people They're always there to bother me They're either talking or they're shouting Get those other people right away from me But when I put my headphones on I just drift away Could be on a mountain top, a lovely sunny day Or maybe on a beach in Spain No-one else around Hang on a sec - that's not right What's that thumping sound? They're playing video games They're putting up a shelf They've got their grandkids round I'm getting beside myself Them and their holidays Them and their barbecue Everywhere stinks of chicken I don't know what to do They're always phoning up They're always walking past They keep on looking in Pull the curtains, get down fast They never take a rest They have to socialise Must be them, it can't be me I'm sorry but I just despise Other people, other people They're always there to bother me They're either banging or they're laughing Get those other people right away from me But when I put my headphones on I just drift away Could be on a mountain top, a lovely sunny day Or maybe on a beach in Spain No-one else around Oh not again - it's Friday night They've got a dozen people round Other people, other people They're always there to bother me They're either talking or they're shouting Get those other people right away from me

Winter 03:25
lyrics
buy track
Should I sit here through the winter Or should I fly to the sun? Will I wake up in the springtime Should I call anyone? I don't know what you're saying to me Should I stay should I go, what d'you want me to do? Should I just disappear, on the run Will you be at home in the valley When I get there will you come? I don't know what you're saying to me Should I stay should I go, what d'you want me to do? There’s a fog outside my window There’s an aching in my heart Will you take me to the mountains Or will we just keep drifting apart? I don't know what you're saying to me Should I stay should I go, what d'you want me to do? Guess I’ll just learn being alone When you’re in the heat of the valley And I’m here chilled to the bone I don't know what you're saying to me Should I stay should I go, what d'you want me to do?

Lost in the Wonder 02:26
lyrics

Did you dream, dream, dream Were you lost in your slumber When light filled the room Did you sleep through the thunder Did the stars stop shining Did a child lose its way If a judge sat before you What would you say Did you dream, dream, dream Were you lost in the wonder Could you see through the clouds Did you sleep through the thunder Did you think you were falling From somewhere so high As you walk through the mayhem Don’t you wonder why When we dream, dream, dream Which sky are we under As time passes by Are we lost in the wonder

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
