The Gig Chatterer (taken from the album forthcoming album Forward Defensive) finds The Humdrum Express taking on an unlikely role… the scourge of musicians and attentive gig goers alike!
You’re never more than two meters away from The Gig Chatterer…

Home from work, I put my best shirt on
I’m out tonight, catching up with friends
Meet early for a few drinks, and then onto a gig
The perfect start to my weekend

Acoustic bands are best, less need for me to shout
My naturally booming speaking voice will do
I’m 6’4” and I quite like to stand near the front
Helps me get a better view 

I’m socialising, why the hell should I be
Apologising, I’ve paid my way in

We’ve finally got served and I’m holding court
Just my luck the first act’s about to play
I’m going to tell you about my ailments
And what happened to me at work today

I’m socialising, why the hell should I be
Apologising, I’ve paid my way in

I’ve been called disrespectful by the easily upset
Who asked why can’t I just enjoy the show?
It’s not as if I even know this track
I’ll sing along when they play one I know

I’m socialising, why the hell should I be
Apologising, I thought speech was free?
The king of gig chatter, I don’t take in subject matter
Or hear this song’s about me…
