about

One of Wally's earliest songs, written in 1973.

lyrics

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

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...

"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."
