01. F-'Oldin' Money (Blake) 2:48  Lyrics

I went to the bank just to get a little money
When he told me their requirements I started feeling funny
He said "You ain’t got a house, you ain’t got a plot"
I ain’t got a window and I ain’t got a job
But it takes a lotta blue-backs to satisfy my honey
If I could get my hands on some f-oldin' money

Well, I went to the social just to get a little pension
I was sorely in distress, I was needing some attention
They said you don’t get a copper, you don’t get a dime
That’s why I broke his jaw, that’s why I’m doin’ time
But it takes a lotta blue-backs to satisfy my honey
If I could get my hands on some f-oldin' money

And then I got a letter off a lawyer in the city
It said "You gotta come and see me, boy, it really is a pity
Those savings you got - in the casino disappeared"
And he went out the window real quick, honey!
And I’ll do it all again but it may sound funny
If I could get my hands on some f-oldin' money

If I could get my hands on some f-oldin' money

Well I went to my banker just to raise a little money
He said "I’m glad to see ya", but I started feeling funny
He said "You ain’t got a house, you ain’t got a job"
I ain’t got a window and I ain’t got a plot
But it takes a lotta blue-backs to satisfy my honey
If I could get my hands on some f-oldin' money

F-oldin' money
F-oldin' money
F-oldin' money
F-oldin' money

02. Perfect Day (new version) (Bailey/Kuepper) 2:22  Lyrics

Don’t talk to me ‘bout what you done
There’s nothing changed it still goes on
But I’ll keep laughing to the end

And I’ve been around this old big world
In all your cars and sexy bars
It’s all so funny

You’re perfect day
Your mummy says
Your perfect day

I can’t laugh

There’s no high times only bad
It’s all so bad I can’t go back
This perfect day
Your momma says
You don’t need no one to tell me what I don’t already know
Your mummy says
Your perfect day
Your mummy says
Your perfect day

I don’t need no one to tell me what I don’t already know

Don’t talk to me about what you done
There’s nothing changed it all goes on
Your perfect day
Your momma says
Don’t need no one to tell me what I don’t already know

I need nothing
I need no fun
I don’t need nothing
Nothing at all

03. Birthday Song (new mix) (Smith/Nagle) 3:38  Lyrics

And though, my darling,
There is another side you never see
Another side
And know, darling,
You know it’s there, on the right
I’m pointing to it now
While you, your fragrance drags
It conveys me to the country

And is...
this...
your birthday?

As if by flight, behold
I am sat in a leafy winding spiral ablaze
Clad stones
Stocked up with pebbles
Rumbling
Trying to, like you, navigate without pains
And in dreams I stumble towards you,
Knees knocked, as you evaporate
Though I am teed up
I am in the next room with you always

04. The REAL Life Of The Crying Marshal (new version) (Smith/Hitchcock) 4:05  Lyrics

Everybody wants regular, like you did, it’s early days
It’s early days
Shout!

The Crying Marshall
The Crying Marshall
The Crying Marshall
Left town over 16 times

The marshall left town over 16 times
Mainly for the fashion last hour of exhibition
On return pulled in behind you
If you’re dead he said so am I

The Crying Marshall
Left [inaudible]
Said to friends you’re dead
If you’re dead so am I

Everbody wants regular
Everybody wants regular, like you did, it’s early days

Ten AM
Ten, eleven PM

The Crying Marshall
If you’re dead so am I

Everybody wants regular, like you do

Tom Raggi Raggi come down off the hill
