Back to work tomorrow after my holiday
There is no more spieling, there is no parlez
I really can't tell you where all the time has gone
But I'm shaking like a jakey and I'm sweating like yer maw
I wish I could run away and just never come back
Find a desert island and build myself a rum shack
But they'd only find me and fucking drag me home
So it's back to work tomorrow like a grateful little prole
And you know it's all inside out
You gotta go upside down
I wake up every morning wishing that I'd never been born
Inside out
You gotta go upside down
I wake up every morning wishing that I'd never been born
I wish I was famous and I wish I was rich
But I'm standing peeling totties and I stink of meat and fish
I have made some piss poor decisions in my time
And you're all fucking experts on other people's lives.

Hopeless Romantic
03:18

I know a girl, she's out of this world, she's got my jaw on the ground
And I'd do anything that she asked me to
The belle of my work with her looks and curls
The hottest girl in town
I go to pieces when she's in the room
She drives around in big flash car and her handbag cost a million pounds
And she wears diamonds like she's royalty
And I don't care what anyone says, she makes my head spin around
And I kid myself on that she's into me
And I know she's right out of my league
She's so fine and I'm a hopeless romantic
Even though she's right out of my league
She's got me wrapped around her finger and she knows it
She's so fine, she's got the look, she's got style
She's got all the boys hanging on
Got them acting all predictable
She's so sweet, I would fall at her feet
She could have any guy she wants
But I'm probably invisible
She's so Gucci, like she's out of the movies and she knows how to work a crowd
And I realise it's a long shot
She's electric, it's totally kinetic and the air is buzzing all around
Gonna hit me like a kilowatt
And I know she's right out of my league
She's so fine and I'm a hopeless romantic
Even though she's right out of my league
She's got me wrapped around her finger and she knows it
She's a total distraction
And I can't seem to concentrate
She's a total distraction
I can't eat, I cannae sleep, cannae sleep
And she's me got me hanging
On her every move, every word, every word
She's a total distraction
She's keeping me off my work, off my work
And I know she's right out of my league
She's so fine and I'm a hopeless romantic
Even though she's right out of my league
She's got me wrapped around her finger and she knows it

She's going out on Friday
Ring O' Stanes Karaoke
She's a trooper, she's there every week
But there's not a lot else to do around here
Her old man's in Falkland
He's got a hot new boyfriend
What a drama, it was the talk of Facebook
But there's not a lot else to do around here
No, there's not a whole lot else to do around here anyway
But you should hear her on the karaoke
Gin and nicotine everywhere
Baby, when she gets that mic in her hand
She's a rock'n'roll queen, you know there ain't no stopping her
Last week she was Gloria Gaynor
This week she's Shania Twain
Baby, when she gets that mic in her hand
She's a rock'n'roll queen, you know there ain't no stopping her now
Her only son's in Auckland
He had to get outta Scotland
When he got outta Saughton
Cos the polis know his face around here
And her daughters coulda been
Superstars of stage and screen
If it wasn't for ketamine
But there's not a lot else to do around here
No, there's not a whole lot else to do around here anyway
But you should hear her on the karaoke
Gin and nicotine everywhere
Baby, when she gets that mic in her hand
She's a rock'n'roll queen, you know there ain't no stopping her
Last week she was Gloria Gaynor
This week she's Shania Twain
Baby, when she gets that mic in her hand
She's a rock'n'roll queen, you know there ain't no stopping her now
She's going out on Friday
This weekend's payday
She's a trooper, she never drops a beat
She's gonna do Dead Ringer
And Pearl Is A Singer
Jägerbomb, she's ready to go
But there's not a lot else to do around here
No, there's not a whole lot else to do around here anyway
But you should hear her on the karaoke
Gin and nicotine everywhere
Baby, when she gets that mic in her hand
She's a rock'n'roll queen, you know there ain't no stopping her
Last week she was Gloria Gaynor
This week she's Shania Twain
Baby, when she gets that mic in her hand
She's a rock'n'roll queen, you know there ain't no stopping her now

Au Revoir

Heading off to New Zealand, I hope one day you'll understand
I was left with nothing so I had to get away
I'm writing to say farewell
And although I love ya still
I never made you happy so I'm heading for Hawkes Bay
Jetting off first thing the morn
From Embra down to London
Stopping off in Vegas cos we go via LA
Where I'm gonna rule the tables
They'll remember me forever
Sorry you're not with me but you wanted it this way
And I don't know how to tell ya
I'm not coming back for ya
And I don't know how to break it
I don't know how you'll take it
This is the end for both of us
So Viva Las Vegas
Sleep tight, tomorrow it's au revoir
Heading off for the New World
I've heard the streets are paved with gold
And fortunes are awaiting for a jakebaw like me
And I don't know if you'll miss me
You made your bed but more's the pity
I'm gonna make the most out of this opportunity
Jetting off in the morn
Gonna get outta this dismal town
Stopping off at JFK for New York City
I'm sorry you're not by my side
But you chose a different life
I'm gonna have some fun now that I'm young and free
And I don't know how to tell ya
I'm not coming back for ya
And I don't know how to break it
I don't know how you'll take it
This is the end for both of us
So Viva Las Vegas
Sleep tight, tomorrow it's au revoir
Heading off for El Dorado
Bags are packed I'll leave tomorrow
Though my heart is heavy and this life can be mean
But I'm master of my destiny
I'll be alright, just you watch me
Just as well I never gave up on my dreams
Heading off to the sun
Stopping off in Amsterdam
Gonna get some culture and a spliff and coffee
Flying off in the morn
Gonna stop in London Town
Gotta stick two fingers up to her majesty
And I don't know how to tell ya
I'm not coming back for ya
And I don't know how to break it
I don't know how you'll take it
Sleep tight, tomorrow it's au revoir

Smell Yer Ska

If your life is empty, sad and lonely
And other people are controlling you
If you've never felt so down and alone
Don't you worry, gadgie, cos we're here for you
If someone is giving you a stresser
Well, gadgie you've just gotta get them telt
Cos you know that life is for livin' and lovin'
And there is ska to be smelt...
You can smell yer ska (smell yer ska)
You can smell yer ska sisters and brothers
Gadgie, has your woman gone and left you?
And did she turn out just to be a belter?
Did she break your heart and shatter your dreams?
But wouldn't listen to a word you telt her?
And if you seek salvation in a bottle
Cos nothing that you touch ever turns out right
Don't you give up cos the journey is dark
We're here to help you find the sunlight...
You can smell yer ska (smell yer ska)
You can smell yer ska sisters and brothers
No-one can take that away
If you think that everyone's your enemy
And that people love to see you fail
And that it feels like you v the world
Don't you worry, gadgie, cos we've been there
If you cannae get your head together
And some days you just can't shake the guilt
There ain't no shame in having some fun
And there is ska to be smelt
If you feel like arguing with idiots
Dinnae do it, it'll twist yer melon
We got your front and we got your back
And there's your ska to be smelt...
You can smell yer ska (smell yer ska)
You can smell yer ska sisters and brothers
Smell yer ska
