Stevie McCabe words

I AM THE WITNESS
Saw it happen yesterday, just a minute after ten
Three old ladies killed a man, don't make me say it again
I was the one who saw them
Yes, I am the only witness
And to stop me testifying they're scaring me to death
All of what I'm saying is true -
Help me Lord, O help me
What did I do to deserve this?
Help me Lord, they'll scalp me!
Lonely ladies love to scare me....

I CAN'T STOMACH ULSTER

I can't stomach Ulster in the spring time
I can't stomach Ulster in the fall
I can't stomach Ulster in the Winter or the Summer -
No I can't stomach Ulster at all
I hate Limerick in the North wind
I onece knew an old lady who lived there
She said she'd teach me how to sew
and then what do you know
She left me there in Limerick, threadbare
I disowned Derry when I left there
Legend has it that's where I was born
I left my home in Derry from the wharf without a signpost
Yeah, Derry is a town I really scorn
Belfast is a city that I don't like
I left all my Catho-cousins there
Mick and Pat and Seamus - that dirty ignoramus
I left them in Belfast without a care

I HEAR YOU, HOCKEN

Lend me your ears, an' I'll give you my hand
Close your eyes tight and I'll kiss you
Give me your heart for a fine grain of sand
Sneeze and I'll gently say "Bless You!"
Write me a letter, talk right in my face
I'm listenin', an' I hear you, Hocken!
I hear you've got each record I ever made
And, if so, I'm staging a lock-in!
I'll never forget that cloud-covered day
When you told me my record got broken
But you fixed it up good with your trusty glue-gun
When they said you were good they weren't jokin'

I LIKE MY DOCS
I like my docs, I like 'em a lot
I where 'em in the shower to protect my hot-spots
In Libya or Fiji - all the hot-spots
I can't get on without my docs
I like my docs,I wear 'em most days
Sometimes it scares my friends away
Sometimes I feel like a god-damned martyr
But I still exist, like Jean-Paul Sartre
I like them when I walk on ground
That's hallowed e'en by holy name
Like kingdoms come, thou will be done
If you take the doc's name in vain

I'M BEAT
Periodic-on occasion I run!
Region, now I'm a regional man!
Impulse - set all phasers for stun!
Surpass - set all phasers for Stan!
Oscillate - rotate like a planet!
Agitation - Dontcha bug me now!
Crush!! Stop!! Yer making me manic!
Sound - don't stop me now!
Line of pursuit -Stay on that course!
Pass - Arthur's or Khyber?
Overcome! We shall, in due course -
Strike - for more money for miners!
Try, for the impossible dream
Evade the point, that's irrelevant!
Prevaricate - That's not the point
Diffuse style - Say, isn't that your elephant?

I'M NOT A LOSER
Don't push me, cos I'm close to the edge
I wanna know what happened to the bread
I'm not a loser, I know what I'm doin'
Don't treat me like a crazy loon
Cos I wanna be responsible, I wanna be good
An' I wanna do just what I should
I don't quite know just what that is
But I'm not a loser, dontcha treat me like this
Let me know, don't keep me in the dark
Don't treat me this way, like I'm a shark in the park
My burden of guilt I want to carry
I don't need you to be a real Flash Harry
I'm not a loser, don't treat me as one
I wanted to be treated as a one-to-one
So don't leave me out, don't hide it away
Cos I can see things in a different way
Listen to me, cos I'm talkin' to you
I'm serious about what I do
I didn't come here to be kept in the dark
I aint no loser, I don't wanna kark!
Gimme a chance, listen when I speak
An' gimme some answers, don't think "what a cheek!"
I wanna talk bread, wanna know everything
So write me a letter or gimme a ring!
I'm not lookin' for somebody to blame
I just wanna know, treat me like I'm sane
Cos I'm not a loser, I'm telling you, bud
Just gimme respect, don't treat me as crud!

INTRODUCING...REG!(Brannigan/McCabe)
Well Reggie was a guy - big as the landscape
Reachin' for the sky - give it a handshake
Drinkin' from a straw - Suck on a milkshake
Broke the Camel's back - vetoed the mandate
Reggie was a guy from Tucson, Arizona
Few into Miami beach via Momona
Singin' m-m-m-m-m-m-My Sharona
Little Reggie Jackson paired with Little Ramona
Reggie was edgy - so he carried a rifle
Goin' to Dakota to do over his rival
Took along his puppy-dog, B.J. "Teeth" Fido
Runnin' from the law, had to scarper and hide-o
Diamond was his girl's best friend - he's in the pawn-shop
Tradin' it for to have a tote to put on a long shot
Didn't come through, more gems for Goldstein an' Shylock
Sellin' like Madonna pix, hot-cakes in the pawnshop

IT COULD BE (Auckland)(Brannigan/McCabe)
Midin' this room for a friend -
Wonderin' if it will ever end
Hey you- potato an' port-chops
Downtown look at all the dork shops
It could be - it could be!
Bug-bites - spreadin' on my legs!
Jug-fights - eyes like a fried-eggs! (auckland!)
First we take Manakau -
Then we take Ponsonby!
Next we take a chicken who's bleedin'
Then we t-t-t-take Mt Eden
Then we add a bout of weepin' an' wailin'
Next we take - a Freeman's Bay an-a Grey Lynn

IT'S BEER I'M ON ABOUT, GUV'NOR
Well, there's a four-letter word that I really admire
An' that aint no S.H.I.T.
It starts off with "B" and ends with E.E.R.
And it's plain enough for all to see
That it's beer that I love, and it's beer that's gonna get you
Through the live-long day
It's beer I'm on about Guv'nor, wait on -
There's more I want to say!
Beer is the staple,the tried and true
I tell you it's here to stay
An' you can't put a foot wrong if you stick to the rule
Of Four beer meals a day!
