No One Home
A gentle Jazzy number with ukulele solo
An old expression for general lack of inmtelligence.This was based on someone we met (who shall remain nameless) but has been targeted on vacant celebrity (because they deserve it).
words and music by Martin Stirrup 2017
C G+
He likes to dress sharp, he cuts quite a figure
Gm A
His view of himself, just couldn’t get any bigger
F F# G
But just watch his eyes, as they start to roam
C A° G (runB to D)
The lights are on - but there’s no one home
He’s quite famous - always in the news
He likes to party, likes his booze
But ask him a question, ooh that’s the danger zone.. Because
The lights are on - but there’s no one home
chorus
A7 D
He’s not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer
G C
His IQ matches his shoe size, nothing more
A7 D
So think of two short planks, that’s just about where it is
G C G7
When they were issuing brains he must have been outside having a whiz
He’s got celebrity status, no-one’s quite sure what for
But in a media frenzy, he’s there at the core
But under interrogation, evidence has shown…. That
The lights are on, but there’s no one home..
Instrumental and repeat chorus
She looking good, could be quite a find
You like the look of her body, you hope you’ll like her mind
Your hopes are high, but when you get her alone.. you find that
The lights are on - but there’s no one home
