about

Wag: The very first demo for this was intended as a song for The Last Resort. JJ and Beefy had a song without lyrics the day before a studio session, and were still stuck, so I offered to help out. At the same time, unbeknown to me, Beefy came up with some words so my version remained sidelined until I revamped a new tune to fit the lyrics.

It wasn't until I added the dual guitar that the song came to life, and this would quite happily fit into the next release but for time restrictions.

lyrics

I'm looking over my shoulder, I don't like what I see
someone’s touting rumours, falsely accusing me,
branded as a monster, whose side are you on?
I thought we were the best of friends,
how could I be so wrong?

What you see is what you get,
The lights are out, no room to let
I'm all strung out but ain't dead yet,
‘cos what you see is what you get.

You know that I’m no angel, and time ain’t on my side,
‘bad boy’ is my middle name, a badge I wear with pride,
can’t take me to the cleaners, or make me good as new,
‘cos under all this flesh and blood,
I'm just the same as you!

Chorus

Boots, braces, short cropped hair,
I decide what I will wear,
you disapprove, but I don’t care,
'cos this is me, and you best beware.

Chorus

I don’t give a toss what side of the river you’re from,
and your political beliefs mean nothing to me,
we were all born equal, or so I’m led to believe,
so take a good long look in the mirror, and ask yourself,
am I good, am I bad?
I know what I am, -
what you see is what you get.
