Elevenses
Mi grandmother liked her coffee a lot
Everyday 11am on the dot
And everything stopped
When the coffee pot came round
No matter what cha doin
In the middle of a job
Everyting stopped for the coffee pot
You could smell it coming
And you could hear the sound
She said
Elevenses stop what cha doin
Time to take a break now it’s yer grandmother brewin
Elevenses
And the pot went round
No matter what cha doin
In the middle of a job
Everyting stops for the coffee pot
You could smell it coming
And you could hear her shout
Elevenses stop what cha doin
You better take a break now or it will be
Your ruin
Elevenses
And the pot went round
Now im a little older
And my gran is in her lot
But just before she died she gave me her old
Coffee pot
And now I got the ritual
She instilled in me
No matter what cha doin
In the middle of a job
Everyting stops for the coffee pot
I can still smell it coming
And I can hear her shout
Elevenses stop what cha doin
Time to take a break now it’s yer grandmother brewin
Elevenses
And the pot went round
Elevenses stop what cha doin
You better take a break now or it will be
Your ruin
Elevenses
And the pot went round
Township
This is mi township
This is where I was born
This is mi township
Where I went to school
And in mi township
Me and mi brothers grew up
I played piano guitar and the euphonium
This is mi township
Where I got mi first car
This is mi township
It was a Vauxhall Viva
This is mi township
Where I had mi first kiss
With a girl name of Smith it was totally bliss
And in mi township
Real Good friends and family
Now some are gone but they left memories
And tears that never dry e y
This is mi township
Where I met mi first love
This is mi township
Gutted when we broke up
This is mi township
Where I joined mi first band
Played the keyboards and sang
Thought we’d get in the charts
Ha ha
This is mi township
Went in pubs underage
Let’s put it this way
I didn’t drink lemonade
This is mi township
I was king of my patch
Smoked those long cigarettes
And dealt only in cash
Now in mi township
I’m not king anymore
And all the streets look more run down than before
But mi mama still lives there
This is mi township
Where I got mi first job
But I was grounded
When I wanted to fly
And So I left town
The guitar on mi back
A few quid in mi pocket I never looked back
This is mi township
