lyrics

Barking out our bastardised reading of the blues
For the pub-crawl tourists and the chosen few
The white man's struggle never sounded so true
On a grubby little stage beside the exit and the loo

What value do we have to you? What value do we have to you?
Name your price, don't make us beg
We've got art for sale you want 'Wonderwall' instead,
well maybe, it's gonna be the gig that ends me.

Give us a lukewarm bottle of Brahma
And the attention of your innocent ears
We'll never soundtrack a hospital drama
But we can help you drink your tears

The soundman clearly hates his joyless job
Forced to listen to these whining frauds
Promoter thought we'd bring more through the door
A band you can't rely on, that's for sure.

What value do we have to you? What value do we have to you?
Merchandise of the heart and soul
Might be nice to pay for bus fare home,
well maybe, it's gonna be the gig that ends me.

Thank you Stephen, thank you...
