Lyrics

Be it day or be it night, always chipper, always bright
As you wait, you wait for a man to come
You show ‘em in, show ‘em out
Meet the kids then chuck him out
As you wait, you wait for the right man to come
I’m free for a date, oh free for a life
Come elevate all these matters of stress and strife
It’s in front of you nose but you just can’t see
When every road you’re travelling leads you right to me

I’m a bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man 
But I do the work like nobody else can
Bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man
Doing the work like nobody else can

Made mistakes, paid my dues
the kindest souls can get the blues come on, give this bloke a chance
Patient man, callous hands but a heart that understands
Come on, I won’t be playing you
I can hail at the moon, I can scream at the light
Even tough men want someone to hold at night
I’ve got so much to give and I’m good for my years
Ain’t it just about time that someone dried your tears

I’m a bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man 
But I do the work like nobody else can
Bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man
Doing the work like nobody else can

Only hope these words of mine are getting to you
Only hope these words of mine are getting through
We’ll be fine, we’ll be cool, we’ll be right, we’ll be true
Girl it’s time we got together now
Girl it’s time we got together now

I’m a bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man 
But I do the work like nobody else can
Bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man
Doing the work like nobody else can
Bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man
Doing the work like nobody else can
Bad man, I’m an old man, I’m a foolish man
Doing the work like nobody else can

Lyrics
Oh what a crazy mixed up world 
We live in bubbles away from diamonds and from pearls
Those in high places love to flout 
Ain’t those the people we can live without

I ain’t got time for
The Government
I ain’t got time for
Donald Trump
I ain’t got time for
Jose Mourinho
I ain’t got time for no
But I’ve so much for you

I heard your voice on the radio
I heard on the radio loud and clear

I’ve had a bellyful of bleak 
Switched off the TV news and turned the other cheek
Bring back the good times in our lives
Shut down the haters and escape 
With music on the radio

I ain’t got time for
The Kardashians
I ain’t got time for
Simon Cowell
I ain’t got time for
Greedy footballers
I ain’t got time for no
But I’ve so much time

I ain’t got time for
Terrorists
I ain’t got time for
Bigostry
I ain’t got time for
Eamon blinking Holmes
I ain’t got time for no
But I’ve so much time

I ain’t got time for
Ridicule
I ain’t got time for
Cruelty
I ain’t got time for

Self serving idiots
I ain’t got time for no
But I’ve so much time for you

The back story

For the last 16 years Johnno has been releasing independent music under his own name, as Snippet, Old Tramp and Walken400, creating a unique catalogue of recordings and performances, and having been named by Tom Robinson as the most played BBC Introducing artist ever on his BBC 6 Music show, Johnno has continued to release vibrant music with plenty of bounce to the ounce.

Former caretaker, London Underground railman and local council relationship manager Johnno Casson aka Snippet started out writing songs at 15 in his bedroom on a Hackney council estate with a tennis racket for a guitar and a soap-on-a-rope microphone.

Johnno played for Adrian Sherwood’s (On-USound) 5-a-side football team (silky smooth striker), gloriously beating The Sun newspaper’s team at a championship for charity at Arsenal’s stadium, and for the last 12 years he has been perfecting his coleslaw making skills, whilst getting M.E and becoming a well respected figurehead on the British D.I.Y./Wonky Pop scene.

Johnno also runs the award winning community group The Warm and Toasty Club, running special live events for the last 9 years www.facebook.com/thewarmandtoastyclub
