Downtime
Not something I get a lot of at the moment... but one day. I really envisaged this being sung by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters...
words and music by Martin Stirrup 2005
Intro: E A13
Do you ever feel your appetite’s been sated
F#m C#9
And you know for sure that work is overrated
F# G#m7
Well I’ve got a simple aim
A6 B
So let me just explain
Verses:
E E7
I need some downtime.. you know that cannot be so bad
A G o
Give me some downtime .. the only thing I’ve never had
E C# F#
We’ll pay someone else to sweep up the floor
B+ B
And put a guard outside to keep the wolves from the door
I want some downtime .. my lazy gland’s been underused
Lay on that downtime … you know I’m easily amused
Just leave me at home all day with my missus
And don’t you try to tell me that that isn’t what bliss is
Gimme that downtime – just for once I’ll miss that plane
Oh for that down time… just send me on that gravy train
E G#m F#m F#sus2
Just leave me alone.. I’ve got no reason to roam (stop)
A G° B E
Solo: I love my downtime… down time at home
Ending:
Can’t wait for that downtime .. get my nose stuck in a book
Fabulous downtime.. I might even learn to cook
E G#m F#m F#sus2
Chorus: Just leave him alone.. he’s got no reason to roam (stop)
A G° B E
Solo: I love my downtime… down time at home
A G° C#m F#sus2
Solo: Give me my downtime why should I roam
A G° B E
Solo: I love my downtime… down time at home
