Hi guy`s .. well I`ve gone as far as I can with this one using three types of headphones, auto speakers , and my nans hearing aid , and every time i still couldnt decide Ive added the lyrics just so you can make sense of it all Ive also left the rough demo on sound cloud until i need more space for new songs... have fun cheers paul 

Guns of Navarone paul bush

Well we`v sat three times through ``four funerals and a

wedding´´ and we`v ate all the cookies from the jar,

We`r sitting miles apart on our secondhand couch could

this be our.... ``bridge too far´´ ? ...

Well every Wednesday night is scrabble and a pint,

with our new friends we met in Corfu...well he´s so funny

and she`s so smart...do they feel just as lost,

Like we do ?

Oh for pitys sake, We dont need a break

Is it time we tried something new

Stop being meek and mild, I say lets go wild

Break out the vodka and our dancing shoes

Maybe We´ll try a new postion do it in the rough

It all depends on my condition Once is not enough

I´m made of sterner stuff it just cant be a sin

doing it behind Tesco`s wheely bins on a saturday

or a rainy day in the park

…..solo......

Well I´ll arm wrestle , any man in the bar

Fight off the man who wants to tear us apart

Draw pistols at dawn If that`s what it takes

( or you can burn me at the stake yeah)

I´ll play a walk-on part in a period piece ,

Swe-ep you up in my arms on the edge of a cliff

r riding horses on on an empty beach

…..We can be just who we want......

I´ll wear a ruff just like ``shakespeare in love´´

Fight Mr D àrcy in a freezing cold tub.....climb a

office block ten stories high , jump off the top

and write your name in the sky

I`ll even drink my beer shaken not stirred,

Wear a bunny outfit just like in Bridget Jones ,

Wear a mask just like in eyes wide shut

..….Untill you just cant get enough.....

Join a club, for swingers with loose ends,

Just like the couple from the flat downstairs

Rent a black tuxedo just for one day

you walk around in red lingerie

Oh for pitys sake, We dont need a break

There´s time to start something new

Lets dance into the dark unknown, till we have grown

…..We can be just who we want.....

Paul, really like the way this turned out . . . it's very fun to listen to ! Thanks for posting the lyrics for this one, there's so much going on there, so it's great to read along and have a better understanding . . . I think the lyrics (and vocals) are very strong, and your guitar work has that rockin' edge to it (as always) . . . seriously, did you really use "my nans hearing aid" ? LOL, so much fun, whatever it takes . . . you got that great result.

Hi chaps . thanks for the comments ,and yes of course  I used my nans hearing aid , and my grandads ear trumpet as well , I´m sort of pleased with the outcome i think that the drum break wasnt too good though  , I pulled out all the stops on this one productionwise everything ive learned from Mikes creative sauce tutorials, I´m looking forward to the next project cheers paul

Hi t , thanks for commenting  I always try to keep my solo`s pretty simple  and straight to the point , I did double track on the solo to give it more pressence  I´m not a fast  player so I try to rely on melody ...and not try and play a million notes per second..cheers P

This sounds very Aussie pub bandish but in a successful way.  Can never really hear accents correctly when singing but it has a great vibe like feeling to it.
Great voice, very nice very fine vibrato, really great sound. 
Not a fan of the low guitar sound at 59sec. loved the break at 1:35, that sounds so very Aussie.
Heard lots of songs around this style genre but this song really stands up, great melody lines, great lyrics, a sense of fun with the lead and chord progressions. 
I can imagine a country pub filled with dancing lovers with laughter and spilled beers.
Hoodoo Gurus move over.
