Beans On Toast - Peter pans playground

^CI come from a village called Rayne ^Fnext to a town called Braintree, ^Gnear the city of Colchester ^Cin middle of the Essex County.

^CA semi detached house with th^Free cars on the drive. M^Gum used to work at a swimming pool and d^Cad on a building site.

My br^Cother used to sell a little bit of hash but n^Fever enough to get caught; he used to r^Gag it around the town at night in a m^Cark two ford escort.

Six ye^Cars of Notley high school got me f^Four GCSEs its not the gr^Geatest education but its ^Cgood enough for me.

And on s^Cunny Sunday afternoons we ^Fgo down to southend, ^Gpeter pans playground it was ^Ccalled back then.

^CWe d all walk down the sea front to the ^Fpier for fish and chips. I ^Gused to hang around in arcades playing ^CMortal Kombat.

So ill ^Csing a song for Southend on ^Fradio 2, I ^Gthink they want me to make fun of it but I ^Ccan only tell the truth.

^Cso if youve never been to Essex d^Font be so quick to knock it be^Gcause the reality TV show dont know e^Cverything about it.

^CWell weve all heard jokes about Essex girls and h^Fow people think they are Easy, ^Gloud mouth blonde and stupid and b^Caby in the belly.

^CBack in Braintree college I was in ^Flove with a girl called Claire^G smart little vegetarian as ^Cpretty as the flower in her hair.

on ^Csunny Sunday afternoons we ^Fgo down to south end, we ^Gbunk the train to the sea side to ^Chang out with our friends.

The ^Crollercoasters tiny its n^Fot like Alton towers ^Gbut with the right ones sitting next to you, you ^Cgo round and round for hours.

So ill ^Csing a song for Southend on ^Fradio 2, I think ^Gthey want me to make fun of it but I ^Ccan only tell the truth.

^Cso if youve never been to Essex d^Font be so quick to knock it be^Gcause the reality TV show dont know e^Cverything about it.

And ^Cin my line of work I visit l^Fots of different places. I^G iron out the clichés and try and^C understand the creases.

its good to have some c^Character it makes you who you a^Fre and Id rather be^G form Essex than be from ^FBuc^Cking^Gham^Cshire
