EmThe musicians who lack the friends to form a banCd,
Care singer songwriters.
GThe rest of us are dj's, or offiDcal club photographers.
EmAnd tonight im playing another nambucca showC,
Gso im going though my phonebook texting evDeryone i know
and quite a fEmew i dont know who numbers found their wCay into my phone
but they miGght come along anyway
yDou never really know.

abouCt our glory days, when we sold our souls.

DBut if your all about the destination,
Emthen take a fucking flightC.

But we'll haGve all the best Dstories to tellC.
Ending
