๐ Lyrics
Is there anything left
Maybe steak and eggs
Waking up to washing up
Making up your bed
Lazy days, my razor blade
Could use a better edge
It's enough to make you laugh
Relax in a nice cool bath
Inspiration for navigation
Of our new found craft
Oh, I know you and you know me
It's always half and half
And we were oh oh, so you know
Not the kind to dawdle
Will the things we wrote today
Sound as good tomorrow?
We will still be writing
In approaching years
Stifling yawns on Sundays
As the weekends disappear
We could stretch our legs if we'd half a mind
But don't disturb us if you hear us trying
To instigate the structure of another line or two
'Cause writing's lighting up
And I like life enough
To see it through
And we were oh oh, so you know
Not the kind to dawdle
Will the things we wrote today
Sound as good tomorrow?
We will still be writing
In approaching years
Stifling yawns on Sundays
As the weekend disappears
We could stretch our legs if we'd half a mind
But don't disturb us if you hear us trying
To instigate the structure of another line or two
'Cause writing's lighting up
And I like life enough
To see it through
'Cause writing's lighting up
And I like life enough
To see it through
Thank you
It's getting little chilly out there
I'd like to thank you for sitting through today
It's a long time to sit on your bums
Especially if you're the middle of a pitch and you wanna have a pee
But nevermind, ah
As you know, this is our first gig
As a new old-done band
I'd like to introduce everybody
If you don't know who they are already
First of all, uh
On the drums
Our new drummer, mister Roger Pope on drums
Our new guitarist, mister Caleb Quaye on guitar
Our new keyboard man, mister James Howard on keyboards
(Yeah, take a bow, James)
Our new bass player thanks to mister Joe Walsh who I'm
Personally very attracted to
Mister Kenny Passarelli on bass guitar
Davey Johnstone is still with us if you've noticed
The blond bombshell, the genie of electric guitar
And Ray Cooper is still here too
Ray Cooper on percussion
Chimes, gongs, anything, you name it
We have special guest, too
Uh, this man's just done 40 gigs with the Doobies
And he flew- got straight on the plane and came straight over just to play
Jeff Baxter from Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers
Come along, take a bow
And also, singing with us
We have two people that have- write songs
Wrote one ruckus of songs early on
Brenda and Brian Brussel, I know
They made their own records, too on Rocket
And also, mister Johnny Gerard, who also makes his own on records on Rocket
And you'll be hearing a lot more on, on vocals
And of course, I'm still here
As our closing numbers
We all fall in love sometimes, it occurs
And the last two number on the hour
And we'd like to thank you for being so appreciative
'Cause we were shit-scared, haha
Alright, thank you
Sorry, mum
Maybe steak and eggs
Waking up to washing up
Making up your bed
Lazy days, my razor blade
Could use a better edge
It's enough to make you laugh
Relax in a nice cool bath
