Rough demo of the first song I ever wrote when I was about 19. Written after a good friend's daughter was still born at 8.5 months and also in memory of the baby my mother miscarried when I was 5 or 6 years old. Lyrics are a bit cheese in places, I was in desperate need of some vibrato, and timing was way off in parts, but it brings back good memories of that time in my life. Bass and 2nd guitar solo by Paul Martin and vocals by Anthony Hills. Dodgy sound quality is because I only had a dubbed cassette copy!

Little Angel

If I find the man, the one who put a house beat
On Uncle Bob, I'm gonna punch your head in you egg
Cause I seen your face, saw it on your video
And I know what you look like, so when I find you I'm gonna punch your head
And the man who's behind you, the one in the suit and tie
You rape and you pillage the joy of my childhood
My own Sound Of Music

Hey don't mess with Uncle Bob, leave it alone
You're up in the Blue Mountains, ticking time on your cell phone

Leave it (if you only had a shred of)
Leave it alone now (honour and integrity yeah)
Leave it alone

You did it to Nat King Cole, did it to Old Blue Eyes
Did it to Satchmo (please can you help my ears are burning)
Can somebody please do it to Cher or Westlife and those other eggs

Ow bay, don't mess with Uncle Bob, leave it alone
Pay your tribute baldhead by leaving it, even it
Hey man don't mess with Uncle Bob, (bandaru) leave it alone (he's gonna get you)
Sham on your nam, I damn you (and your brother too)
You got to leave it alone

(The man responsible should be hammered and nailed)

Now you don't own them, neither do we
Cut off those shop dreads and go back to your Kenny G

Hey man don't mess with Uncle Bob (how you feeling me), leave it alone
Why did you do it, what made you do it (should I be more specific), leave it alone
Hey man don't mess with Uncle Bob (please), leave it alone
I don't care if you made him a grand daddy, you should have left it alone

(Let me pay obvious respect and esteem) 
I don't need permission (to Hareruia)
But if you're gonna be persisting (Kuaranea)
Make my decision (Katchafire)
Punch you in the head and

By the way while I'm here
Let me say the same thing goes for Steveland
And Earth Wind  & Fire too

(Recorded in 2004.)
