about

Partly a list of my somewhat superficial vices and partly a short history of my life

lyrics

Still got the straight and the booze for the blues
Still got the mate just to lengthen my fuse
Still got the Mac for the hang in the rain
Still got the tunes for the food in my brain

Born in the era of the funk and the flare
Dungaree wearer, kid punk starer
Maybe I fear her in the bunk with a bear
Became a thinker... had a skunk nightmare

Still got the stick with string and a pick
Still got the plate with the delicious lick
Still got the spin of the disc in the mist
Still got the scent of drink with a twist

Born in the era of the funk and the flare
Dungaree wearer, kid punk starer
Maybe I fear her in the bunk with a bear
Became a thinker yeah yeah!... had a skunk nightmare

Still got the greens and the reds with the meat!
Still got the love for the movie house seat!
Still got the paint and the pad for the lead
Still got the brush with a dream in my head!

Born in the era of the funk and the flare
Dungaree wearer, kid punk starer
Maybe I fear her in the bunk with a bear
Became a thinker... had a skunk nightmare
