A hundred and sixty thousand plays to earn a measly buck
Apple and Spotify can go and get fucked
Never in it for riches just having me some fun
But it’s profit instead of music to be number one
We give our heart and soul to bring our tracks to you
Another on your playlist you don’t care who
It’s not for me to tell you what you oughta do
But do me a favour and play my album through
I stumble and I fumble to write myself a song
The pro’s they may frown and say I’m doing it all wrong
McCartney can’t read music I’m much the same
But I’m doing it for love
I don’t depend on fame
I’m one of millions trying to catch your eye
It’s hard to make a living so why do I try?
I’m doing it for love, having me some fun
But one day who knows I maybe number one
So when you buy my record a request from me to you
Don’t swipe the tracks just play the album through

It’s concerning, somethings’ occurring, disturbing, perturbing
Till it rained, I’d not seen it before
There’s these man sized footprints
Outside my front door
You can set, your watch by me, my comings and goings
I’m out at five, and home ‘round half past four
But now someone’s
Got there before
I looked around, rummaging, searching, for signs of lurking
Butts and matchsticks, they weren’t there before
Someone’s had a drag
Outside my back door
One things certain, It ain’t Carol, She only chews tobacco
She’s big but she ain’t got size 10 feet
Mail Man, Preacher, who could it be?
It’s concerning, somethings’ occurring, disturbing, perturbing
Till it rained, I’d not seen it before
There’s these man sized footprints
Outside my front door
