lyrics

WHATCHUKNOW

I was watching a documentary so many years ago/ Bernie Rhodes told The Clash to write about what you know/ I've held on to this sentiment as I've been writing songs/ and hoping there's a few tunes that you'll help sing along/

As we go dancing, to some drum & bass/ or to big band jazz if you fancy that taste/ I'm singing folk songs to a hip-hop beat/ and you're grooving on the dance floor, moving your feet//

I don't have any money/ and I can't sing you a song/ and even if i tried I'd probably get the whole thing wrong/ 'cause I can't remember lyrics/ I just make them as I go/ but when I do put pen to pad I write about what I know//

As we go dancing, to a punk rock song/ or maybe house or Bhangra, we'll dance all night long/ I'm singing folk songs to a hip hop beat/ while you're grooving on the dance floor, moving your feet//

I've dabbled in any genre I could think to do/ and though the instruments may change, my message still stands true/ go for what you're  dreaming and let your colours show/ but when in doubt just choose the route and stick to what you know//

I'm going dancing to a country band/ and we can dance the night away if you would take my hand/ I'm singing love songs to a hip hop beat/ you're grooving on the dance floor moving your feet//
