about

Wag: I would presume most of our following know this to be a song that was the 1st single by 'The Business' but maybe not that it was co-written by Garry Johnson. We offered this as a free download on our Christmas gift of 2015, so some may have heard it. There was a possibility that Garry was to do lead vocals, but....

One reviewer suggested that our version is arguably better than the original? That's for listeners to decide, but I'm proud of the result, the key change and guitar solo lifts it just when you think the end is nigh.

lyrics

They're the sons and daughters of well off bankers,
Tom Robinsons' army of trendy wankers,
flared blue jeans and anoraks,
with yellow streaks all down their backs,
who act so tough when their on TV,
but trendy wankers don't scare me.

Oi!, Oi! Oi! the chosen few
this is what we think of you,
suburban rebels playing at reds,
you would be urban terrorists,
you don't scare us with your badges and banners,
you know fuck all about heavy manners.

You're the middle class kiddies from public schools,
Who write the slogans on the toilet walls,
Like Tony Benn's clones in plastic macks,
Wave hammer and sickle, never Union Jacks,
Got lots of mouth when your in a crowd,
But when your alone you don't speak loud
