Kicked my kickstand in the sand
The base had three strings, they can't afford four
That guitar they got it at the Rexall store
And I want it in my life
This kind of music, that's the kind I like
When it smells like rain and the clouds are purple
The sight of the rain makes the ??? uncertain
I walk your bike to dig the rocking groove
Were going to watch them dance, were going to watch them move
That cheap guitar, it's got to go
It sounds so bad, like I don't know
And I want it in my life
This kind of music, well that's the kind I like
When the dancer is just singing, I like that
Sometimes I leave everything in the laundry mat
This is what I like, I say I think it's great
That way you don't get bored if your bus is late
And that cheap guitar, oh that cheap guitar
And that saxophone, I'm sorry they've gone too far
And I want it in my life
This kind of music, now that's the kind I like
I say that I want it in my life
Oh let's do one more verse
When it smells like rain and the clouds are brown
My raggedy T-shirt is somewhere downtown
Got to walk my bike to dig the rocking gang
I want to hear that groove, I want to hear that twang
And that cheap guitar it's sounding worse
And it gets more painful verse by verse
But I want it in my life
This kind of music now that's the kind
One more thing
When you're dancing with ??? and the clouds are there
You know it's going to rain, but you don't Care
You walk your bike to dig the rocking gang
You have to feel that groove and hear that twang
That cheap guitar, it sounding vile
But it's so far gone that it's making me smile
And I want it in my life
This kind of music, now that's the kind I like
Just Georgia
Dancing with just nothing well I like that
Sometimes I leave everything in the laundromat

[I got to talk to the audience
I've got to tell you something
I'm going to see but
It wasn't still bothering me
But it's still been rolling around in my mind
I've got to tell you
No no, I did something that I'm not too proud of
An old error I made outside
But I got to talk to you about it so
Two kids were here
They had these round trip train tickets to east London ok
And they said, here's a sad story
They were saying how they didn't have enough money
I hear these stories all the time
And I always got my eye going
Yeah sure
Anyway, and they said how
They didn't have enough money to get in
And the first word they said was 'guestlist'
And I think oh, that automatically turns me off
I'm thinking another guest list story
Anyway
So I said look
I'll sing you a song, ok?
Cause I didn't want to do anything about the guest list
So I sang them a song you know
Do you know they said, actually, well could you get us in on the guest list or sing a song
Ok, I'll sing you a song
I sang them 'The Beach' and everything
And then I figured I'd better go away
Cause other people were starting to be a crowd there
??? Get in
I figured, you know what I should have done?
I should have let them in
So I don't know
Do any of you recognize who I'm talking about?
By any chance?
Do you know them?
You really do?
You made it?
What's the story?
You telling the truth?
You don't know them?
You don't know them
You just nodded
Anyway
But if anyone does
Please tell them
Next time
Yeah but I don't think fast enough
See but I got this thing
Whenever anyone mentions the word 'guestlist'
So all of a sudden, you know because, it's the kind of thing
Everyone's mother just had a heart attack
You know the guest list
So anyway
So that's, ok so now we can
That don't bother me anymore
So we'll sing more songs
Audience, what makes you think I'm taking requests?
Just cause I'm all heart doesn't mean I'm a saint
Well I just hang around and play these things here
So anyway
Let's do some songs for you]
Well, they don't need much you know
Somebody do a wiggle maybe
Somebody keep time too
And that's really all you need to dance
Somebody take their hips and shake 'em
You got just a hot day in the breeze
And they're just hanging around
Just a breeze and a guitar and something
That's all you need to dance
For me
You know I'm right
Well when it smells like rain and the clouds are black
My raggy tee-shirt be on my back
I wanna walk my bike to dig the rocking band
I wanna kick my kickstand in the sand
That bass has three strings, they can't afford four
That guitar they got from a Rexall store
And I want it in my life
This kind of music
Now that's the kind I like
Well when it smells like rain and the clouds are grey
My raggy tee-shirt been thrown away
