Played on the The Breakfast Show (9/5/97).
Mark: I'm a Rock N Rollin man, In a crappy little van
And I'm dead excited me.
We're doin' our first gig in the Porcupine and Pig
Got to be in Inverness by three,
Lard's at the wheel, had a happy eater meal,
M&L: Rock N Roll!
M: I've got a pair of leather kecs and a pair of tinted specs
And an electronic guitar.
Started out at two and we're just approaching Crew,
We haven't got very far,
His eyesight's crap and he hasn't got a map,
Just take me home.
Lard: No, Now I know where I'm going, Our kid,
Just sit back, enjoy the ride.
M: Well you'd better get it right or I'll beat you senseless.
(Talky Bit)
L: Course I'm right, I'll just take the next right.
M: Well just get me there, I'm dead exited about this gig
you know I am, you're always spoiling things for me.
L: Sorry.
(Singing starts again)
M: Many miles on the clock and I'm ready to rock,
How's it looking Lard?
L: We're on the A37 and we're fast approaching Devon,
Shall we stop off for a jar?
M: God I wish I'd never met this Lardy theckless get,
Just take me home.
L: No, Now I know where I'm going, Our kid,
Just sit back, enjoy the ride.
M: Please get it right cos' I'm losing my sense.
(Talking bit)
L: Look we're in Torquay right, I'll just take the next left.
M: Oh-ba-a-ye-ge I, I'm goin' to practice my singing right.
The Quantocks?, is that near Inverness?
L: Yeah.
(Strange Swingle 2 type singing)
M&L Holly, Dick, Nu and a shovel full of poo,
I work on the land, dum dum de dum.
(Talking)
M: Right where are we up to? Budleigh Salterton!
L: Yeah, that's just outside Scotland.
M: It's absolutely no where near it, just turn the
van round and get be back.
L: Look here, Bideford, 4 miles.
