FUN (PART ONE) - Spit Polish

Alright, well I was at your show, it was a good one, not a great one
So we got stuck into the gin
Well it was over-priced, but it sure felt nice
So I stuck ‘round ‘til intermission
Now melting into the woodwork I heard talk about
Rock’n’roll releases
These jerks were experts, I could tell by the way
That their T-shirts all had creases

Talkin’ ‘bout a group that once had somethin’ new
Now they were like a country bainmarie
Re-hashing all the same old crap
Since 1993, listen now  
The singer he swings his arm around
And you know that the bass player’s cute, woo-hoo
The drummer’s dynamite, their pants are tight
Jesus, ain’t they ever heard o’ The Who?
Ah Goddamn! They were talkin’ about my band!

Ooh-whee! Well that’s good advice
Well it’d come cheap at half the price
But you’re missin’ the point that’s number one, yeh
This crap’s supposed to be fun
Yeh this shit’s supposed to be fun

I was strollin’ through the main street of town
Musing on nothing it seems
When I got held up by a tenth year art student
Teeth grindin’ with amphetamine
Now he and his friends shouted, “You’re a damn rock star”
I guess they thought they got me real good, huh
“That’s what it says on my passport, dear sirs”
And I swept off like Natalie Wood

Ooh-whee! Well that’s good advice
Well it’d come cheap at half the price
But you’re missin’ the point that’s number one, yeh
This crap’s supposed to be fun
Yeh this shit’s supposed to be fun

A tune and a toke at the world famous tote
A-soakin’ up the jukebox on loud
When a teethy geek with a stylised haircut
Proceeded to vent his well-studded spleen
With beery breath he then dissected
My illustrious history
Said “If you’re so damn great, why ain’t you never made it
Front page of damn N-M-E?”

I know I’ve whined and I’ve crowed
About the things that I’ve lost and I’ve won
But when the lights are dimmed and the drummer begins
This crap it sure is some fun
This shit’s supposed to be fun, oh take it
