Many years ago, an old song of mine called Don't Vote BNP was recorded by someone at a gig and posted on YouTube. Someone (offended by my mocking of his ridiculous party and politics) commented on the video with the sentence 'shite singer, shite song, shite guitar playing'... You know you're doing something right when such idiots are foaming at the mouth in anger, and it did make me laugh with the comment about my guitar playing! The fact that a neo-Nazi keyboard warrior was incensed at my guitar playing inspired me to write this song back in 2009. Just to annoy him, wherever he is.
lyrics
Keep Britain Rubbish
Shite singer, shite song
shite guitar player, he's got it all wrong
Tap, tap, tap, tapping
Randomly hitting the keyboard keys
Tap, tap, tap, tapping
wont somebody out there listen to me
Tap, tap, tap, tapping
I'm missing the point by a million miles
Tap, tap, tap, tapping
My judgement is clouded by anger and bile
Tap, tap, tap, tapping
My only friends are people online
Tap, tap, tap, tapping
Wont somebody out there drop me a line
Tap, tap, tap, tapping
I want to make this country great
Tap, tap, tap, tapping
Unfortunately, I'm gonna do it with hate
Having taken up the rallying cry from the punk movement to pick up a guitar and make a noise - Chris did just that. He ran
with the idea and hasn't stopped running since. Where he's going is anyone's guess for this singer songwriter...
