2. The Band

(S. Rists)

We're Pommy's band, a gang of four
Playing our instruments all bloody night
Yelling all evening 'til our throats are sore
And strutting our stuff in front of the lights

My name's Steve, I play the bass 
While the others wail and moan
I grab a bottle and get slowly wasted 
And if I ever do sing, it's in a monotone 

Hi I'm Jimmy and I play the drums 
Hitting them all night with my huge sticks 
I tried guitar, but can't even strum 
Besides, everyone knows guitarists are pricks 

The name is Angus, what do I play?
No, I don't play, I MANIPULATE.. 
My guitar is my tool, that's what I say 
Anything that comes out of it just has to be great. 

And I'm Pommy, leader of the band 
Writing six six sick songs to sing 
I'm deaf dumb and blind so they lend me a hand 
When it comes to fitting my guitar with new strings.

We have a gig at least once a year 
Borrow big amps so we can be loud 
Remember that time the audience cheered 
When Steve suddenly threw up all over the crowd

Now vomit's a regular part of our act 
Though our critics describe it as sick 
Vomit, sick, spew, I'd agree that's a fact 
It's just a pity our music is shit
