about

In the summer of 2018 Jez of The Fuckwits suddenly died. Jez was one of those party animals you always imagined were immortal. Always there with a grin, a can of cider and an unintelligible northern quip. A few weeks later the same shock hit regarding Gary Borland of Heavy Drapes. I’d been speaking with Gary only the day before. We’d had plans to work very closely together. Then, almost at once, my friend Neil McNaughton was also gone. Neil was an expert on Politics and Economics who set exam papers on the subject and ghost wrote autobiographies in his spare time.
“Bugger me”, I thought, “They were all younger than me”. And so here is a song of defiance. The Grim Reaper may be lurking just out of sight, watching over us all, but for the time being he can either sling his hook or join in with the party. Any other course of action is just downright unacceptable!

lyrics

Hear me singing these old fashioned songs
All designed to make him sing along
See him lurking always out of sight
Never welcome, not at all contrite

Hey you, what you gonna do now
We’re gonna have a party
Sling your hook, we’re going to live for ever
And Hey you, stay all night if you like
And join in with the party
The DJ’s here, playing “Don't Fear the Reaper”

Well hey, hey, hey, hey
Jez would say
Party on
And hey, hey, hey hey
Let’s all play
All night long

Hey you, what you gonna do now
You know that you’re not welcome
Get your coat, no one’s going home with you

Well hey, hey, hey, hey
Jez would say
Party on
And hey, hey, hey hey
Let’s all play
All night long
Well Hey, Gaz would say
What a day
Goodbye So long
