about

I Held a competition on YouTube where people had to guess a song I was playing on Piano, the winner got a song wrote for them. This is how the song came about. Written originally by Simpson and co-written by me, I took a more laid-back approach to recording this song. With my quirky locals inspired by Bonzo's do day dog band and some of Monty Python's songs, this has to be one of the funnier of songs I have written.

lyrics

I have a friend who needs a helping hand
listen to me see what I can see
you are young and looking for some fun

Don't go tonight you know that I'm right
you will lose depending on what you choose
you are young and looking for some fun

Better to be poor and alright
then to be rich with a tear in for eye
better to be poor and alive
then to be rich with a tear in your eye

Oh Stephen put the kettle on
make me some lunch thanks for the good old bunch
listen to me see what I can see

Don't go tonight you know that I'm right
you will lose depending on what you choose
you are young and looking for some fun

Better to be poor and alright
then to be rich with a tear in your eye
better to be poor and alive
then to be rich with a tear in your eye
a tear in your eye
