LYRICS

​

Steady Rollin Camper

I'm a steady rollin’ camper, driving in the middle of the road

I got my wife, my kids, my surfboards and I'm carrying quite a load

Got an e-bike on the back and a kayak on the top

I'm going pretty slow but I'm never gonna stop,

I'm a steady rollin’ camper and I'm getting right in your way

 

I could be from the D or the A or the good old NL

I could be from UK or I could be from the singular L

I could from the I, I could be from the B

I could be from the F or the S or LT

I'm a steady rollin camper and I hope you've got all day

 

I'm a steady rollin’ camper and I leave a trail of thick black smoke,

I can always find a dealer, always got some  'erb to toke,

I ain't gonna use a campsite cos I'm really, really free

Sorry bout the trash and the poop and the  pee,

I'm a steady rollin’ camper and you're never gonna make me pay 

​

I’m a steady rollin’ camper

Steady rollin’ camper

I’m a steady rollin’ camper

I’m a steady rollin’ camper

I’m a steady rollin’ camper

You’re never gonna make me

A steady rollin’ camper

You’re never gonna make me

A steady rollin’ camper

You’re never gonna make me pay

​

Leopard Print Lady

Leopard print lady came dancing by

Trying everything just to catch my eye

She shimmied to the left

She shimmied to the right

Leopard print lady was grooving tight

Just when seemed that we might get it on

Leopard print lady was gone, gone, gone
 

Leopard print lady won't you please come back

I like to see you dancing cos you've got the knack

Let me pour some cream so you can lap it up

Here kitty, kitty let me fill your cup

Sharpen up your claws cos we're gonna have fun

Leopard print lady you'll be gone, gone, gone

​

Leopard print lady

Gone gone gone

Leopard print lady

Gone gone gone

Leopard print lady

Gone gone gone

Leopard print lady

Gone gone gone

Sharpen up your claws cos we're gonna have fun

Leopard print lady you'll be gone gone gone 

​

Sharpen up your claws cos we’re gonna have fun

Leopard print lady you’ll  be gone, gone, gone

​

Algarve August Blues

Round and around and around they go

Where they’re gonna park, I do not know

The middle of the road, the corner of the street

See the stress on every face they meet

Well they keep on driving, but what’s the use?

They got those Algarve August blues

​

Go to the restaurant, they’ve got no food

The man on the door is mighty rude

Got no room can’t come in here

No you can’t even have a beer

Well, we keep on queuing, but what’s the use?

We got those Algarve August blues.

​

Every August Lisbon closes and Spain too

Everybody comes to Algarve for a week or two

Got no room, so why do they choose

To give us those Algarve August blues?

 

Go to the ATM, it ain’t got no money

I tell you man that ain’t very funny

No-one around here will take a card

Makes spending money very hard

Well, we keep on trying, but what’s the use?

We got those Algarve August blues.

We got those Algarve August blues.

We got those Algarve August blues.

​

Still In Love With You

As I stumble through the door, my keys fell to the floor

I fumbled for the light switch, turned them on

As my head began to clear, I realise my worse fear

That this time, I’m gonna find you gone

As I climb the stairs, silence everywhere

It hits me what I have done wrong

As I reached your room, there’s a lifting of the gloom

As I realise that you hadn’t gone

 

And to my surprise, there are tears in your eyes

You turn to me, you said how do you do?

I know it’s three AM

And I know where you’ve been    

I can’t help it, I’m still in love with you

 

As I climb inside, arms are open wide

Lean over and whisper in your ear

I know what I’ve done wrong, thought I’d find you gone

So happy that you are still here

And to my surprise there’s still tears in your eyes

You turn to me, and say how do you do?

I know it’s two AM

And I know where you’ve been

I can’t help it, I’m still in love with you

​

Alcohol (In My Brain)

Feel the alcohol coursing through my veins

Takes away all my troubles and pains

I know I should stop, don’t see why I should,

Because being drunk makes me feel so good

I feel so good, I feel on top of the world

I feel so good I can talk to any girl

I know I should stop, I don’t see why I should

Because being drunk makes me feel so good

 

When the alcohol finally reaches my brain

More than enough to send this body insane

I know I should stop, don’t see why I should,

Because being drunk makes me feel so good

I feel so good, I feel just like a king,

I feel so good, could do just anything,

I know I should stop, don’t see why I should,

Because being drunk makes me feel so good

​

In the morning my head is steaming just like a train

Never ever gonna drink that much again

I should have stopped when I knew I could

In the morning being drunk last night doesn’t feel so good

In the morning being drunk last night doesn’t feel so good

In the morning being drunk last night doesn’t feel so good

​

Sweet Life Blues

I got myself a lover

I got myself a lover

She's the real thing

I got myself a lover         

Got myself a lover, she's the real thing, she make my heart sing

 

I got myself a sweet life

I got myself a sweet life

Rocking in the sun

I got myself a sweet life

Got myself a sweet life rocking in the sun cos she's the one

 

I got myself a fast bike

I got myself a fast bike

It's mighty fine

I got myself a fast bike

Got myself a fast bike, it's mighty fine, she's all mine

 

Ain't no one gonna stop us

Ain't no one gonna stop us

We're blasting through

Ain't no one gonna stop us

No one gonna stop us blasting through just me and you

​

Just me and you

Just me and you

Sweet life blues

Duffy Wash Fiddly

Duffy was a woman liked to keep things clean

She loved a man called Fiddly, the dirtiest there's ever been

He'd go out in the morning, his shirt was shining white 

He'd come back in the evening covered head to toe in shite

So Duffy took to scrubbing him to show him what she mean

They did it every evening, man you should have seen

​

Duffy wash Fiddly, 

Duffy wash Fiddly, 

Duffy wash Fiddly, 

Duffy wash Fiddly,

Duffy wash Fiddly

Til he couldn't be washed no more

 

Duffy liked to rock'n'roll, Duffy liked to jive

Fiddly was a metal head, the blackest soul alive

He'd jump into the moshpit, he'd get into a slam, 

He'd roll around the floor, he just didn't give a damn, 

Duffy took one look when he came home half alive, 

And she scrubbed him even harder, how did he survive, when... 

 

Chorus

 

There came a day when Duffy knew she couldn't take no more

She went out on the razz until her head was kinda sore

She had a drink of this and she had a drink of that

Til the room would not stop spinning like a crazy dancing cat

She fell into the gutter, she fell onto the floor, 

And Fiddly had to pick her up and help her through the door

 

Then Fiddly wash Duffy

Fiddly wash Duffy

Fiddly wash Duffy

Fiddly wash Duffy

Fiddly wash Duffy

Til she couldn't be washed no more

 

And then …

 

Duffy wash Fiddly, 

Duffy wash Fiddly, 

Duffy wash Fiddly, 

Duffy wash Fiddly,

Duffy wash Fiddly

til he couldn’t be washed

Duffy wash Fiddly 

til he couldn’t be washed

Duffy wash Fiddly 

Til he couldn't be washed no more

125 (Trying To Stay Alive)

There's a road on the Algarve takes you West

If you have ever been that way you know its not the best

Traffic lights and potholes every where

Gonna have an accident if you don’t take care

Trying to stay alive driving on the 125

​

Europe gave us a brand-new motor way

Then said if want to use it you got to pay

Aint got the money to pay that tax

So it sends you right back

Trying to stay alive driving on the 125

​

You’re trying to stay alive

You’re trying to stay alive

You’re trying to stay alive

You’re trying to stay alive

You’re trying to stay alive driving on the 125

 

The government said were going to put it right

Roundabouts sprung up overnight

Now it takes all day to get any where

Still have an accident if you don’t take care

Tring to stay alive driving on the 125

You’re trying to stay alive

You’re trying to stay alive

You’re trying to stay alive

You’re trying to stay alive

You’re trying to stay alive driving on the 12

You’re trying to stay alive driving on the 12

You’re trying to stay alive driving on the 125

​

125 (Wrong Side)

You came to the Algarve to start a new life
Brought the kids the dog even brought the wife
But you chose to live in the wrong place
And now you cant face
Stayin alive on the wrong side of the 125

​

Friends ask you to go to the bar
You cant go because its way to far
Taxis and Ubers never come
So you miss out on all the fun
Stayin alive on the wrong side of the 125

​

Stayin alive, Yes you are stayin alive
Stayin alive, Yes you are stayin alive
Stayin alive on the wrong side of the 125

​

You would never admit you made a mistake
And still your friends wont give you a break
Now you are stuck at home
Just sitting there all alone
Stayin alive on the wrong side of the 125

​

Stayin alive, yes you’re stayin alive
Stayin alive, yes you’re stayin alive
Stayin alive, yes you’re stayin alive

Stayin alive on the Wrong side of the 125
