Lyrics

Verse 1:
I met him back in 1982
And right away he suggested something I ought to do 
It was a workshop he said was something to behold
It was important to do before I got old
Thats how I got to know Jimmy McGee
He made a pretty big impression on me

Verse 2:
Transformation was the workshop theme
All I remember, it was pretty extreme
When it was over  you were meant to tell the world
To come and join the transformation team
That’s where Jimmy’s talent shone through 
I watched him invite everybody he knew 

Chorus:
Jimmy’d say:
You should try it
You’re going to love it
It changed my life and it’ll change yours too
It’s remarkable, extraordinary
It’s something that I really think you ought to do

Verse 3:
I tried a lotta things cuz Jimmy ecouraged me
Like yoga, pilates and homeopathy
Accupuncture, Rajneesh and meditation
And some other things that I probly shouldn’t mention
Most everything I’ve ever done to fix up my life
Were the result of Jimmy’s advice

Bridge:
Jimmy’s been searching all of his days
For ways to change the world in significant ways
He was clear that job will never get done
Unless he shares his insights with everyone 
	
Verse 4:
Sometimes I listened to what Jimmy suggested
I’ll try it out at least once or twice
Then I’d come by to tell him that he’d made a difference
And thank him for his advice
He’ll say thanks but that was so yesterday
Let me tell you what I’m in to today

Chorus:
Jimmy’d say:
You should try it
You’re going to love it
It changed my life and it’ll change yours too
It’s remarkable, extraordinary
It’s something that I really think you ought to do

Verse 5:
These days Jimmy’s over 80 years old
You'd think that he would finally start to slow down
But if anything it looks as though he’s just got started
Still getting excited about ideas he's found
Now he swears that he's finally discovered the way
To make being old seem almost Ok

Chorus:
Jimmy’d say:
You should try it
You’re going to love it
It changed my life and it’ll change yours too
It’s remarkable, extraordinary
It’s something that I really think you ought to do

Jimmy McGee

You Should Try It

First recorded in January 2022. 
From the album Spuk3.

It's a song about youth and having to grow up too fast, hopelessness. It's not really about one specific person, there's bits that are definitely about this person or that, and bits that are definitely about me.

Lyrics

Ah, little Jenny Tucker.
Reputation as a looker.
Walking up and down on her beat.
Bin by the sands.
More than holding hands.
With her high-heeled shoes on her feet.
Says it's alright.... It's alright... it's alright...

Oh, I feel like I should go.
But I guess you'd never know.
So I always stay.
Now there's no walking away.
But it's alright... It's alright... it's alright...

A real easy lady.
To anything she says maybe.
Her doors open usually.
But she caught me at a bad 
Time in my life.
One another had me down on my knees.
But it's alright... it's alright..  it's alright...

Am I Wasting my time on you?
I only wanted a screw.
Now I've gotta pay.
If I walk away.
But it's alright... it's alright... it's alright...

Trapped with you by circumstance, 
I never stood a fucking chance,
You made all decisions you see, 
before the thought occurred to me. 
It's alright... it's alright... it's alright...

My drinking days were hindering.
I didn't know where to begin.
To get away from you, my sweet.
To cast aside that thing called...
It's alright... it's alright... it's alright...

Jenny was wandering alone around the town.
Trusting to providence to not let her down.
Hoping to snatch.
A happening from the night air.
Forgetting all her worries and her manifold fears.

See, Jenny has numerous problems in life.
Learned not to care about it.
To take the strife.
Wittle away at everything that she owned.
She never thought to let out.
A cry or a moan.

Ah, Jenny was kicked out of care at sixteen.
Sat on a wall, to eat her pudding.
The opposite things.
Were all that she'd ever known.
A mattress in a bedsit.
The only thing that she owned.

So, Jenny was viewing the storm from above.
She expected nothing.
Not least to go up.
Going to war, with expected fancies.
She could charm the snakes.
Out from under a tree.

A pretty face like yours could get you away.
If you had a head on your shoulders to  say...
"I don't want this! I don't want anything more!"
But it's easier to buy your gifts from a store.

Jenny's not strong enough to stand it for long.
All of the choices she made had been  wrong.
A man for tomorrow.
Another one for yesterday.
The things in your way.
A bomb to blow them away.

While the night ain't over.
While the night is moving.

It's alright. 

Jenny says, you're out of her life.
She's never gonna be your wife.

Jenny says, you've gone too far.
She's driving off in your fast car.

Jenny says fuck you shes done.
You'll never find where she has gone.

It's alright.

Jenny is stepping right up to the plate.
Jenny is standing at the starting gate.
Jenny is leaving us.
Jenny is off into space.
A selfless sacrifice.
Which at least she can face.

Jenny's a mystery.
Jenny's a bore.
Jenny was crying out for a bit more.
Jenny took everything.
Whilst the cat was away.
Jenny says there was nothing left for you to pay.

Jenny has LSD in a small bag.
Jenny has fingers to take off the tabs.
I don't want this life. 
I don't want anything more.
Rid of the things in her way.
With the tools to make them all pay 

Jenny's a superstar.
Jenny's a tramp.
Jenny has no one in this world to thank.
Jennys got soldiers lined up next to her egg.
Ah, making you beg.
A scar at the top of her leg.

LYRICS

Trip the wire...
To the stars, to the stars.
There's a cow...
Whats that now? 
Holy Cow.
Get to bed...
In your head.
Go to bed.

Coming soon! We pretend to be fine.
There a fire in the wastelands. What's mine?
Waste of time.
There's a fire.
We Survive.

There's a crack in the side of the farm.
You would think that they'd run but they stay.
Waste the light.
Avoid the night.
Stay alive. 

There's a river that's flowing with gold.
That you get, when you're good, if you're old.
Waste of life.
Taste the Night.
Stoke the fire.

All of her maybes, mistaken for definitely's.
All you can do is move on.
All of your sure things, replaced now with possibly's.
You've got no crutch to lean on.

All of his don't knows, revealed to be so lows.
That you didn't see where they came from.
All of the can does, are hollow lists of to does.
Interstellar. Toodle-oo. 
Now I'm gone.

Trip the wire...
To the stars, to the stars.
There's a cow...
Whats that now? 
Holy Cow.
Get to bed...
In your head.
Go to bed.

There's a message we sent to the sky.
Imagine that wont be getting too far.
Trip the wire.
To the stars.
To the stars.

There's a man on the moon, and he's heating a spoon.
As he looks sadly down on the earth.
There's a cow.
What's that now?
Holy cow.

Wee Willie runs through the town.
Crying loud as he seeks them all out.
Get to bed.
In your head.
Go to bed.

All you've got left are some rust, cans of peaches.
A pile of old Vizzes and porn.
A Fray Bentos pie and your rosy complexion.
There's no one left you rely on. 

A bust of Beethoven, a packet of suet.
A commemorative plate, a Princess Di coin.
An overfilled ashtray, a battered red jumper.
Interstellar. Toodle-oo. 
Now I'm gone.

All of her maybes, mistaken for definitely's.
All you can do is move on.
All of your sure things, replaced now with possibly's.
You've got no crutch to lean on.

All of his don't knows, revealed to be so lows.
That you didn't see where they came from.
All of the can does, are hollow lists of to does.
Interstellar. Toodle-oo. 
Now I'm gone.

Waste of time....
There's a fire. 
We Survive.
Waste the light...
Avoid the night. 
Stay alive.
Waste of life...
Taste the Night. 
Stoke the fire.
Trip the wire...
To the stars, to the stars.
There's a cow...
Whats that now? 
Holy Cow.
Get to bed...
In your head.
Go to bed.
Trip the wire...
To the stars, to the stars.
There's a cow...
Whats that now? 
Holy Cow.
Get to bed...
In your head.
Go to bed.

Lyrics Video: https://youtu.be/HNdnTTtcBeA

ooh-oooh-oooh oooh
ooh-oooh-oooh oooh

you will break out
of the house where the people and toys
and even the walls know your name

you will stake out
a new claim on an old and abandoned mine
all collapsed and decayed

then you’ll wait for your plot to start twisting
plant seeds in the rot
trust your system

but a movie is not how we roll
we just hang from the cliff,
never get back control

this world is so much smaller
than the movies would have you believe
and love—so much more of a mess
than the movies would have you believe

your talents—
they're worth so much less
than the movies would have you believe

you’ll need to grow much taller
than the movies would have you believe

there’s no payoff—
what you think you deserve will be gone in a blink
with the surf in an ocean of rain

you can’t stay off—
there’s no armor or charm or a prayer
or a spell that can spare you the pain

no plot when the years start twisting 
and seeds grown in the rot
look to you for some wisdom

when you take on the voice of the pilot
will you color their skies in blue or in violet?

this world is so much smaller
than you think
so much more fragile
and a lot more insane

ooh-oooh-oooh oooh
ooh-oooh-oooh oooh

this world
has more superpower
than the movies would have you believe

and love—
so much more of a test
than the movies would have you believe

dreams—
worth so much less
than the movies would have you believe

you’ll taste a lot more that is sour 
and even more that is sweeter
than any old movie would have you believe
