Track 11: Would You Believe It? - A semi-autobiographical song of inter-generational grumbling..

Would you believe it would you Adam & Eve it

C#m

I never saw the like before

My vision turned hazy, though I was going crazy

When I saw what she’d brought through my front door

Would you believe it would you Adam & Eve it

Someone’s barking up the wrong tree

Knock me down with a feather, let’s go hell for leather

I never thought I’d live to see

My old man had a view of how sons ought to be

Short hair, tough and muscly

He liked it when I played rugby at school

He was happy enough that I wasn't a fool

He was proud when I went off to college

And when I came back with a head. Full of knowledge

But what he wasn't do keen to see

Was what those hippy fashions had done to me

He said... Wybi...

It must have taken a while but it had come to pass

I'd grown my hair nearly down to my arse

I'd hitch-hiked home with my clothes unwashed

He just stood and stared just like he'd been coshed

With my tie-dye T shirt and my purple strides

I could see disbelief in  his eyes stretching open wide

 OK fair enough, I dressed bold and gay

I guess he feared I might have turned the other way

When he said...

Well time moves on as it should be

And my son goes off to Glastonbury

With his tent in his grungey best

Off to have some fun way out west

But as it turns out, what a shame

He gets a week of pouring rain

Back he comes and what do you know

Covered in mud from head to toe

I said

 WYAaEI
