A little silly something that I brewed up to while the day away.......

I’ve got a friend called Steve, he’s partial to a packet of peas,
“Gareth, please” says my friend Steve “can you grab a packet of peas?”

I’ve got a friend called Jan, she really loves a dashing of Jam,
In a jar or a can, it’s all the same to Jan, just as long as what’s in it is jam.

I’ve got a friend called Jerry, he really likes to travel on the ferry,
Not a plane or a car, just a plain old ferry is only good enough for Jerry.

I’ve got a friend called Drew, she doesn’t like to go a number two,
She pushes and strains and it hurt her brain, oh what’s poor Drew to do.

I’ve got a friend called Jimmy, when he dances he only likes to shimmy,
Puts his shoulders down, moves them all around, does my shimmying friend, Jimmy.

I’ve got a friend called Ben, he has a most unusual hen, 
He counts to ten and suddenly, then, the hen has turned into a pen.

Steve (et al)

A really, really old track that I recorded about 5 years ago. 

Gareth Roberts's Album

Negative

Another super old track that I recently found.

Some Lesson

Almost deported from Marseille for volunteering in 'The Jungle'.

Verse 1
Trodden downwards, viewed as something worse than shit,  
How long do you reckon we’ll keep taking it? 
Poked and prodded, all are being sodomised, 
By the filthy rich with their despising eyes.

Verse 2
The world’s gone loco, we’re in an age of decadence, 
Once bright future but now we sit upon the fence. 
Please pinch me hard, I must be in some twisted dream, 
Collectively disengaged, we should be acting as a team.

Verse 3
Fuck me sideways, they've gone duped the majority, 
Cannot fathom why they buy their bullshit stories, 
Eyes wide-open, it's nothing but a chimera, 
What more must one do to make their glazed up eyes see clearer?

Verse 4
Heinous warlords, cloaked by this democracy, 
Merely a word as injustices are all I see. 
Had my fix of life, yearn to cash in all my chips, 
Need a place to hide so that my weary top don’t flip.

Age of Decadence

The Ride (Instrumental)

Let me take to the microphone and get into your heads,
Why should they let you live, when you could all be dead?
Shaved up little monkeys, looking like Right Said Fred,
Welcome to a whole world of pain, you let them rule instead.

Whoa, whoa, welcome to the end of days,
Whoa, it’s not I that picks who leaves or stays,
Most of you won’t be coming along because your rancid strays,
Come along now lost little sheep, witness the end of days,
Whoa, whoa, welcome to the end of days,
Just look inside and see the error of our ways.

"Behold, the day of the Lord comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger, to make the land a desolation and to destroy its sinners from it." - Isaiah 13:9

Let me get on my soup box, friends, and look into my eyes,
I cannot stress my expression for us all to rise,
Shaved up little monkeys, all looking hypnotised,
Look into the mirror, all’ve become what they despise.

Whoa, whoa, welcome to the end of days,
Whoa, it’s not I that picks who leaves or stays,
Choosing love over hate, you know it seriously pays,
Come along now lost little sheep, witness the end of days,
Whoa, whoa, welcome to the end of days,
Just look inside and see the error of our ways.	

Whoa, whoa, welcome to the end of days,
Whoa, whoa, welcome to the end of days,
Whoa, whoa, welcome to the end of days,
Whoa, whoa, welcome to the end of days.

And the lord said we were all damned, every last one of us. Uh huh.......

End of Days

Verse 1

Life is just ride, so just jump onboard, enjoy the show,
Gone in cosmic second, everyday adventure beckons,

Let your mind remain open, never let it shut tight,
Look towards the future, the past emits a dingy light,

Live your life as you are, it’s OK to love yourself,
Inner peace is worth more than any amount of wealth.

Chorus 1

Come onboard, you know it’s your time,
Just enjoy the ride,
Come onboard and let your soul shine,
Just enjoy the ride.

Verse 2

Life is what you make it, or so I’ve been told,
Every time I exhale, the next breath’s never old,

Let yourself see the beauty that lies in all,
It’s your loss if all you see’s the modern toss,

Live your life to the full, fall in love with everything,
Mother Nature’s supreme, displaying Her natural bling.

Chorus 2

Come onboard, you know it’s your time,
Just enjoy the ride,
Come onboard and let your soul shine,
Just enjoy the ride.

Verse 3

Life is unknowable, by either you or I,
Existence is esoteric, understood partially,

Let your perceptions change, comfortability estranged,
Allow yourself to be one with all the moons and suns,

Live your life easy, now, and be nice everyone,
Love is the key, my friends, to serendipity.

Chorus 3
 
Come onboard, you know it’s your time,
Just enjoy this ride,
Come onboard and let your soul shine,
Just enjoy this ride.

Downward we go, inside the rabbit hole, but we'll never know.......
