at twenty pounds my money was as good as spent it had a sound called ‘funny’ and an auto accompaniment that went [auto accompaniment] and I thought hell well that’s a song there already I ought to called Ed he said he would be into doing something on my new album E: what do you want me to do H: I don’t know, just say ‘easy now’ and i’ll loop it E: well that’s cool, just as long as you don’t make me sound stupid H: well that’s up to you kid E: kid? H: all right Ed, I was freestyling you know? E: no H: your voice is an instrument so use it like an oboe E: alright then, I’ll give it a go yo I’m an island dweller like the Komodo dragon Ra! I don’t need a menu, ‘cause I know what I’m having for tea chicken and chips is my forty H: forté E: forté and a nice glass of waté I bring the milk bottles in from the porch daily then I go upstairs where I draw a lady or a guy in the manga anime way that I like H: one minute, two minute, three minute, four before too long they’ll coming knocking at my door and of course they would’ve heard the stories but do they know what the score is? do they know that sure enough the tour is off so, forget about it ‘cause the more I think about it the more pissed off I get about it but me and Malibu Barney were just the beginning like tomato and chicken before I knew that mulligatawny was my favourite flavour nevertheless this hasn’t done me any favours we were riding a crest and I had a lot of faith in us it seemed to me to be the best way to combat the laziness that was holding us back but because of a lack in communication back when we were busy producing tracks when we should’ve been relaxed we just put each other’s backs up but now I’m back and this time nothing can hold me back yo

yo it’s Hedluv back on the road fully taxed and MOT’d with a fresh batch of new melodies I’m like hot gazpacho soup an MC rapping over a Casio loop as for what I drive it’s a 1.3 F reg Nissan Sunny and it’s red like Mario I take it for a spin whenever I’ve got somewhere far to go to but I’m far too slow to drive a long way ‘cause I take too long to get where I’m going I forget where I’m going sometimes and end up going ‘round roundabouts two or three times you’ll have to excuse me mind there’s ash on the floor and there’s dust on the dash and the passenger door gets jammed I keep a can of WD40 in the glove compartment in case my car won’t start and that seems to happen more often than not but it was such a bargain I coughed up on the spot and I couldn’t live without it when I’m off to the shops in the rain done waiting for a bus again but now I’ve got a car to sustain I’ve got to keep the money coming in speak to somebody about delivering leaflets door to door it seems like more and more I’m just working for my car you may see me driving in my car but sometimes I wish we could all ride on bicycles I’m never in a hurry and I don’t go that far just sometimes I wish we could all ride on bicycles they could be electrical so I wouldn’t have to peddle up the hills I don’t want to get political but petrol’s gone up 4p and I’m still buying it just because it’s a joy to drive to places that might only take 5 minutes to walk to certain places can be hard to get to in the South West a feather light touch is all I need on the accelerator to get up to speed better late than never right? in the dark I turn my lights on when the weather’s bright I pull down my visor I pull out and pull away and drive into town on a holiday I might drive all around in a wiggly manner if you were watching me from space it resemble spaghetti or a strawberry lace I don’t have any spanners but I know a man that has I’ve travelled thousands of miles sitting on my ass I am the man when I’m driving my car with one hand on the wheel I can parallel park take a handful of people to the caravan park where we work in the summer making caravans sparkle yeah we car pool and we buckle up because we are cool

I’ve come a long way since the days when I used to play P.I.A.N.O in assembly accompanied by drums and xylophones playing the song to win all talent shows it was one of the first songs that I ever wrote inspired by a travelling music workshop man that spoke of this scale that started on D and ended on D using all the white keys it was an itty bitty ditty and everyone that knew it would goad me on to do it though they weren’t into the new bit or any of the new bits that I tried to add ‘cause I was a little bit embarrassed by this song that only had three notes D E and F played over and over again a little bit like this D E F E F E D E F E F E D E F E F E D but I think you get the gist hey yo what was that tune you know the one you used to do didn’t it go do doopy do do do doopy doopy do I had other songs but no one wanted to know they’d say play that other one you know the good one from all those years ago at which point I should’ve said no but this underhanded put down only fuelled my ego and though they were only three notes they were the best three notes these are my three notes the notes that we played at the talent show where we all lined up with our instruments and hoped that although we were hot favourites we’d taken a risk and added a new bit that really didn’t go and perhaps we played it a bit too slow I dunno how did it go? D E F E F E D E F E F E D E F E F E D but I think you get the gist hey yo what was that tune you know the one you used to do didn’t it go do doopy do do do doopy doopy do

I’d like to pick up and play my guitar knock out an epic melody dedicated to the places where I like to sit like the the garden out the back regardless of the fact I never practice my guitar I never play it anymore reclining in the garden I’m trying to find some words I can rhyme in a line and put into a verse so I can sing all the time like the dolphins and the birds and let my eyebrows wonder like they were caterpillars I’ve been writing songs since day one and i’m hoping that one day I may pay my way with them ‘cause that would be a lovely way to make a living and I can think of no better way so I’m giving it my best shot I’m Hedluv and I love the South West a lot of my time is spent within a ten mile radius a while away most of my time indoors but when the sun starts to shine there’s nothing I like more ‘cause what I really like to do is kick back for the afternoon take a paperback out into the back garden read a chapter or two have a chat with who ever’s knocking about with nothing else to do we can smoke an L or two put us in a mellow mood how about a kick about our keepie-uppies have improved and I’m happy to say that there’s some stubbies and some food in the fridge in the kitchen for when we’re through I’m reclining in the garden trying to find some words I can rhyme in a line and put into a verse so I can sing all the time like the dolphins and the birds and let my eyebrows wonder like they were caterpillars
