Lyrics
TROUSERS OTIONAL
KATE VERSE 1
24 hours in a day
7 days within a week
now let's write
write the book that we'd want to read
posting notes through neighbours doors
and they give us lots of help
good as gold
They are kind I am sure now we're much nicer souls
SIMON VERSE 2
Butchers bakers builders barbers
horseshoe bends and floating harbours
accidental over sharers
spotlight on all kinds of carers
infection deep cleans in full PPE
wearing a mask and you struggle to see
you keep on going even though you're hot
you do it for the patients cause you care a lot
ACTICHLORUS
We acticlor the walls
we acticlor the floors
even frank the CEO had a go
he got 13000 views you know
our amazing team back together again
learning bout infection control
from helen and jane
clinical waste out in the pouring rain
but you forget the keys and have to do it again
do it again do it again........
KATE VERSE 3
Lillian wrote us a letter and Kelly went and wrote us a poem
Everyone else sent in everything else inspired by staying at home
An exception to the rule we’d be stuck in the same room - Reece managed family time better on Zoom
how can we thank everybody enough for sending in so much quality stuff.
OR
and I like to write
I do not and cannot use a computer.
But I like to write to people.
to take my mind off this sad time
Please don't ring me up
at the moment i'm busy
with arranging to do.
Busy writing a letter to you.
ENTERTAINMENT CHORUS
All the entertainments past, the shows and what they showed us
My first gig was Sha-Na-Na supported by Kilburn and the High Roads
There’s a lantern now a Beacon and the name that changed therein
A vaunted man of history went for a little swim
You do what you can like you could and I did there’s a storm coming and we’re all invited
Mid8
It was only a quick dip, no time to doth his coat and stole
No points for style in the statue’s dive it was more of a victory roll
Through the lense of mythic time the town and it’s troubled his-tor-ree
Founding fathers falling down….. stove pipe IKB, I said stove pipe IKB
KATE VERSE 4
I have never done this
never written a poem before
in my life
but it's been good to try
I would normally say this with cakes
I'm not sure if this counts
because it's about bath
it was written last year
25th day of march
25th day of
SIMON VERSE 5
The complete and utter boredom of lockdown lol
For people working from their homes, trousers optional
Acts of kindness and furlough fails, an obsolete clock leads to whimsical trails
Drive through everything shop solo spectator sport, still a no go
JIM CHORUS
I can hardly play guitar, I can hardly sing
but occasionally I try to write a song, here’s an attempt at one of them
I may try and record it again – I think I’ve got a better version in me
But for now here’s what I got, much love, Jim
**I’m probably usually always in, I’m usually probably always in**
End8
I spent so many weeks, waiting to get back on the road
But it’s gonna take so much longer now, to get to all the shows that have been postponed
So I took a delivery job and now I’ve got new fans
I am kind of back on tour now, driving vans and charming grans
making sure I always sanitise my hands
