Shoot the Moon 02:55
lyrics

A fine day in our town the first day of July The landlord came for his rent so we had to hide So we'll have to shoot the moon and somewhere else reside The rent arrears we cannot pay so we''ll leave tonight What little furniture we own we'll sneak out through the door The rent arrears we cannot pay because we are so poor A fine day is you're wealthy but not so if your poor And when you're sick and you can't work you don't get paid at all A fine day in our town in eighteen thirty five The landlord came for his rent to catch us by surprise But we'd already left to somewhere else reside The rent arrears we could not pay so we left last night What little furniture we owned we'd sneaked out through the door The rent arrears we cannot pay because we were so poor A fine day is you're wealthy but not so if your poor And when you're sick and you can't work you don't get paid at all So we'll have to shoot the moon and somewhere else reside The rent arrears we cannot pay so we'll leave tonight What little furniture we own we'll sneak out through the door The rent arrears we cannot pay because we are so poor Ed's mixed bag Ed's mixed bag Tell all your friends about Ed's mixed bag Ed's mixed bag Ed's mixed bag You've got to check out Ed's mixed bag Ed's mixed bag Ed's mixed bag Yes you're listening to Ed's mixed bag

Nothing is Going Your Way 02:35
lyrics

My wife ran away she left yesterday God knows I could have wept She had an affair with a man from Carstairs She met on the internet A modern day story It can’t be true surely When you just can’t seem to go on When every day it’s always the same Nothing is going your way My job is so awful I swear it’s unlawful My phone never stops what a pain Complaints in my in tray who shall I upset today Targets that drive me insane A modern day folk song Let’s all sing along some When you just can’t seem to go on When every day it’s always the same Nothing is going your way There’s hope round the corner but my friend said I warned you Your car is falling apart It’s a bit of a joke it chucks out black smoke And now it won’t even start A modern day story It can’t be true surely When you just can’t seem to go on When every day it’s always the same Nothing is going your way When every day it’s always the same Nothing is going your way Nothing is going your way It’s time to unwind Chill out relax Sunday sundown will play some cool tracks

Dorchaster Fair 03:07
lyrics

The day that I took you to Dorchester fair The sunshine the laughter we hadn’t a care The flags and the bunting the stalls and the carts The cries of the hawkers all gladdened our hearts We marched along gladly lads out on a spree I carried the favour you’d given to me The ribbon you’d worn to tie up your hair The day that I took you to Dorchester fair We formed up in lines stared out across the fields And the sun glanced and glimmered on helmets and shields The banners flew gayly and the shouts on the air All carried me back to Dorchester fair For a moment I stood there bewildered and still Then an order was thundered they rushed for the hill The cries and the fury the pain and the fear Would I ever again see Dorchester dear Now the stunned and the weary limp away to find rest And I finger the ribbon tucked safe in my breast Will the clamour the scene the stench ever fade Will I find my way back to my Dorchester maid Come a day when the sun shines on bonnets not helms When we walk arm in arm under Dorchester’s elms When with pleasure I buy you new ribbons to wear Come a day when I take you to Dorchester fair It’s the home made It’s the home made It’s the home made hit show

I'm So Rich 02:24

I’ve got a Bentley and I’ve got a Rolls I bank at Coutts and wear expensive clothes My kids they go to a private school I pay extortionate fees but that’s really cool You’re so poor I’m so rich And you’re not having any of it I heard about the latest drought It was in Africa without a doubt I chipped in a few quid for the charity I didn’t want Bob Geldof shouting at me They’re so poor I’m so rich And they can only have a tiny little bit I wrote a song about being on the dole My friends thought that was really droll Did you hear about the latest drought It was in Africa without a doubt I sent off a few quid of that I’m sure I didn’t want Bob Geldof banging at my door They’re so poor I’m so rich And they can only have a tiny little bit They’re so poor I’m so rich And they can only have a tiny little bit With a fine folk crew Here’s a podcast for you Sing all your sorrows away So raise your glass and drink to folkcast Good health and happiness to you Good health and happiness to you Good health and happiness to you

Overspending 02:52
lyrics

It’s not her concern Spending more than she earns Always overdrawn Budget planners make her yawn Credit cards she’s got plenty Store cards at least twenty What’s she gonna do Now the payments they are overdue On a spending spree Buying what she doesn’t need Cos she just loves to shop Shop shop til she drops Debt collectors on her back So she’ll fake a heart attack What’s she gonna do Now the payments they are overdue Will she ever learn Spending more than she earns She’s got no regrets Shopping on the internet Loans she’s got far too many Savings she hasn’t any What’s she gonna do Now the payments they are overdue Now the payments they are overdue Now the payments they are overdue Oh she’s overdue Butch Brooklyn where did you go We enjoyed listening to your podshow You’ve but off the air for far too long Cos we were hoping you’d play this song

Lose Control 02:38

Take me away from this madness A city of a million souls Too much noise and pollution I think I’m gonna lose control I need some time to be alone And I’ve got to find time on my own I’m going insane in the country With too much time on my hands My mind is going round in circles The silence is driving me mad I spent time on my own Now I want to want to get back home I spent time on my own Now I want to want to get back home I’m heading back to the madness A city of a million souls I’ve missed the noise and confusion Although it’s running out of control I spent time on my own Now I want to want to get back home Although it’s running out of control Oh yes it’s running out of control Oh yes it’s running out of control Oh yes it’s running out of control It’s fantastic it’s podtastic It’s the rubber room radio show It’s elastic it’s fantastic It’s the rubber room radio show

The Sun Said 02:17

The Sun said good morning and he blew his cares away Laughing at the shadows as they began to play Dancing in the sunshine as clouds went drifting by His heart full of gladness and laughter in his eyes He felt the breath of winter and it chilled him to the bone Like every night returning when your feeling so alone There are stars and there are Moon beams that light the evening sky They touch the edge of darkness it makes you wonder why A cascade of sorrow you think it’s here to stay But even after sunset the darkness turns to day The Sun said good morning and he blew his cares away Laughing at the shadows as they began to play Dancing in the sunshine as clouds went drifting by His heart full of gladness and laughter in his eyes His heart full of gladness and laughter in his eyes You want to listen to the right stuff Don’t be led astray You know I’ve got the right stuff It’s the only stuff I play

We travel ‘cross this state every county every fare Name any little settlement I bet you we’ve been there The folks all love to see us we bring colour we bring fun Though there’s times we’ve been run of town by a fella with a gun Roll up to our wagon and buy the hooch we sell It ain’t really medicine but it’s gonna make you well Roll up to our wagon and buy the hooch we sell It ain’t really medicine but it’s gonna make you well Riley plays the guitar and he gets the people in The Doc gives consultations and Mac collects the tin There’s a fiddle player comes along when we’re working down his way We’ve got potions we do magic and the good folks come and pay Roll up to our wagon and buy the hooch we sell It ain’t really medicine but it’s gonna make you well Roll up to our wagon and buy the hooch we sell It ain’t really medicine but it’s gonna make you well This hooch might cure rheumatics make a sweetheart love you best We guarantee it tastes real good we’ve got pills for all the rest Come and hear our music come and join the throng A dime for a bottle and a nickel for a song Roll up to our wagon and buy the hooch we sell It ain’t really medicine but it’s gonna make you well Roll up to our wagon and buy the hooch we sell It ain’t really medicine but it’s gonna make you well Seldom heard radio They’ll play your seldom heard tune They’ll play your seldom heard tune They’ll play your seldom heard tune
