Whatever happened to the Teddy Boys

Does anyone remember the good old days
When dressing like you meant it was all the rage                                                                                         
In a land that time’s forgotten, in a world that wasn’t waiting to get paid

Handjobs and milkshakes in the arcade
Young men unafraid to rain on your parade
With pockets full of money and ciggies and a comb and maybe a switchblade

Once were delinquents 
But now their memories begin to fade
So close to extinction
Never step on shoes made of blue suede
Don’t step on my blue suede

Tattoos declare in Britain made
Smell in the air of grease & pomade
And there was fighting in the dancehalls and heavy petting in the front stalls of the matinee 
The slightest little trigger could start a row
Not enough imagination too many furrowed brows 
As Disc jockeys played the Youth Clubs and bruisers set upon the hardest pubs around 

Once were delinquents
But now slicked back hair reveals a balding crown
So close to extinction
But I thought that there was one in every town
There was one in every town

Whatever happened to the teddy boys
When times were good and times were heady boys
Whatever happened to the teddy boys 
Life was a riot & you were ready boys
Whatever happened to the teddy boys
When girls were girls and work was steady boys 
Whatever happened to the teddy boys
When we were messed up in the heady boys
Whatever happened to the teddy boys
Whatever happened to the teddy boys
And as we tuck you up in beddy boys 
You'll be a teddy ‘til your deady boys

THE GALLEONS - The Hidden Colour

So....
 the politics of left and right have embraced each other almost overnight
And our kids are growing up too fast, we should’ve known our reign was never gonna’ last
And wisdom comes with age we’re told, but it’s never too late to try to break that mould
Though we’re rightfully suspicious of, those who claim to be in cahoots with God
In a world that’s getting harder to explain
The love of a good woman keeps me sane

And those idiots in magazines, they are our children’s heroes kings and queens 
Should we lead them to the promised land or lead them to the guillotine
On street corners there are teenage hoods who bay for blood and call each other blood
Do I act chicken and shut my gob or be born again and release my inner yob 
See these city streets can sometimes do your brain
But the love of a good woman keeps me sane

The bread-heads and the spoon-feds say your prophets are at a loss
And there’s something to be said for shallow days and candyfloss
But mark my words that’ll be how the west was lost 

Now the hacks make fun of protest songs, ‘cos the counterculture’s all but dead and gone
And Rock n roll is artifice, what would Johnny Thunders make of this
As I search for truth and not someone to blame
The love of a good woman keeps me sane
As I sit back and I do nothing but complain
The love of a good woman keeps me sane

The Lone groover - How the West was Lost (demo)

Named after the anti-hero of a comic strip that graced the weekly music inkies of the1970s…….. THE LONE GROOVER is a one man and guitar outfit who channels his love of folk, punk and Americana into classic songs of beauty, protest and passion – agit-FOLK ‘N’ BOP if you will - Songs that betray a fine eye for detail, a healthy respect for tradition, and a working knowledge of REAL LIFE!!! Always putting he(art) and soul into his performances, armed with his trusty Gibson, fuelled with good vibes, talkin’ jive and sporting sharp clobber, TLG is a definite “one to watch”. The London based songwriter has spent recent months folk ‘n’ bopping his way across the capital in venues such as The Hope & Anchor, The 12 Bar and the Windmill, played at a number of festivals such as Strummerville & Anti-folk and had prestigious support slots with Willy Mason, Alabama 3, Glenn Tilbrook, and Beans on Toast amongst others. He also recently won an award for “Best EP of the year” by the rock-til-you-drop website network...But let’s leave the last words to ‘el Groover himself……… “let’s be clear…..I’m not a solo artist, I’m a one man group…..there’s a subtle difference….I wanna walk like The Clash and sound like Bob Dylan”. Folk music for City dwellers!
