The First Time

Let It Be Me

Words & Music by Rad Venture & Andrew Chase.  © 1987. 2002. All Rights Reserved.

One of three songs Andrew Chase and I wrote in an all-night session at Leichhardt in Sydney in 1987. The songs were intended for a band we were putting together (which sadly never happened).

LYRICS: 
I wouldn't like to be in your shoes
You're gonna see the biggest trouble ever seen 
You lied too often, thought you'd never lose 
They'll spit you out and throw you off the team

You, you've been warned before
You're the type that never hears
Advice from your peers
Danger pointed nears
Fell among the tears

You, spent half your life on the bosses floor
Was he so annoyed?
Now I'm sure you're unemployed

I wouldn't like to be in your shoes
How will you feed your family tonight? 
Or summon eight of them with more bad news 
It's over now, you can't do nothing right

You, you've let them down before
You said this time you'd try
Somehow you'd scrape by
Your puddings turn to pie
All the babies cry

You, you'll let them down no more
You can solve it all today
Buy a gun and blow yourself away

With the money from your life insurance, they can have a little holiday

Trying to identify this band. Found by a friend on an old mixtape of bands from Boston. The song is probably from late '70s/early '80s.
