Who's Right Who's Wrong

Well who’s right, and who’s wrong?
And who’s right, and who’s wrong?
Well who’s right and who’s wrong?
And who’s right, and who’s wrong?
One who devotes his life to Jesus
The one who loves a little sin
One pins his hopes on life eternal
If you ain’t good you won’t get in
But who’s right, and who’s wrong?
And who’s right, and who’s wrong?
The one who fights for Queen and country
The one who don’t believe in war
One may be dead but he’s a hero
One’s gonna live till eighty-four
And who’s right, and who’s wrong?
And who’s right, and who’s wrong?
A whole life is not long
So who’s right, and who’s wrong?
People that we once respected
Doing things no-one suspected
Watch the institutions crumble
See the reputations tumble
One treats his body like a temple
One treats his body like a drain
One thinks he’s gonna live forever
One knows he won’t be here again
Well who’s right, and who’s wrong?
And who’s right, and who’s wrong?
And who’s right, and who’s wrong?
And who’s right, and who’s wrong?

I always used to hurry
I never took my time
And anything I wanted
I had to make it mine
I used to get frustrated
‘Til everything turned red
And when I told my mama
She smiled and shook her head
And said
Rome wasn’t built in a day
Sometimes you just gotta wait
But I just didn’t listen
It didn’t make no sense
I acted on my feelings
‘Til things got too intense
But I was getting nowhere
And wasting precious time
And when I spoke to mama
She told me I’d be fine
She said
Rome wasn’t built in a day
Sometimes you just gotta wait
Slowly catchee monkey
Prudence is the best philosophy
For me
And now I take it easy
I think before I speak
I weigh up situations
I look before I leap
I’m never in a hurry
I always have a plan
I listened to my mama
And now I understand
She said
Rome wasn’t built in a day
Sometimes you just gotta wait
Rome wasn’t built in a day
Sometimes you just gotta wait

I’m living in a world of my creation
I’m cleaning out the cobwebs from my mind
I’m in a state of permanent elation
And leaving all the everyday behind
All the fears and all the worries
Suddenly don’t mean a thing
Step inside I’m in a hurry
Winter’s turning into spring
I’m seeing things from the other side
I’m seeing things from the other side
I’m seeing things from the other side
My visions are crystal clear
I’m flying above the stars
I’m looking inside a dream
I’m looking to where you are
Where you are
And I’m seeing things
I’ve had a little time for some reflection
I’m shaking off the chains that had me bound
I’m heading in alternative directions
I feel my senses turning upside down
Please don’t ask me to reveal it
Please don’t ask me to explain
Something’s changed and I can feel it
Nothing seems to be the same
I’m seeing things from the other side
I’m seeing things from the other side
I’m seeing things from the other side

Sorry
04:08
|

She’ll be alone
Girl you’ll be sorry now you’re gone
Girl you’ll be sorry now you’re gone
The bridge is burned
The worm has turned
Girl you’ll be sorry now you’re gone
She didn’t even turn around
She didn’t even turn around
She took a flight, thief in the night
She didn’t even turn around
You think you’ll find the pasture’s greener
You think you’ll find a rainbow’s end
This mean old world is getting meaner
And you haven’t got a friend
She said she’d never change her mind
She said she’d never change her mind
It wasn’t true, I wouldn’t do
She said she’d never change her mind
Your sins will catch you in the morning
And there’ll be no-one else to blame
The devil’s waiting round the corner
And he’s gonna make a claim
And when she finds
Her big adventure’s over
And if she feels
She’s ready to come home
And when she needs
Someone big and strong to hold her
She’ll be alone
Girl you’ll be sorry now you’re gone
Girl you’ll be sorry now you’re gone
I’ll get along, I’ll prove you wrong
Girl you’ll be sorry now you’re gone
One day I’m gonna make the big time
One day I’m gonna make the grade
I’m gonna be there when you’re cryin’
About the big mistake you made

I'm Hurt
03:18
|
|||
My oh my I’m broke
My oh my I’m blue
And I’ve been losing my mind about you
You said I was a fool
And you said I was a flirt
You say your feelings have died, I’m hurt
I never saw it coming
I thought she was my woman
But I just didn’t see
While I was busy dreaming
That girl was busy scheming
Oh how, could she, do that, to me?
She’s gone, taken her clothes
And she’s been dishing up dirt
And she won’t answer my calls, I’m hurt
One day she’ll know just what she’s done to me
And she’ll be sorry when
She wants me back, before too long
And it’s too late, ‘cos I’ll be gone
Her mother is excited
Her daddy is delighted
Cos’ she’s got rid of me
They wanted her to marry
A Willy or a Harry
And raise a happy family
I’m a reasonable man
But she gave me a raw deal
I’ve tried so hard to deny
But it’s real
My friends say give it some time
But time’s just making it worse
But there’s no fixing this heart, I’m hurt
Yay, yay, yay I’m hurt

Shrinking Circles
05:58
|

Once I believed in you, the answer to my prayers
Once I believed in you, but you just didn’t care
And after all this time, I don’t know you at all
This time I won’t be there to pick you up each time, you fall
Shrinking circles slowly dragging you down
Shrinking circles slowly dragging you down
Down to the bottom of a crimson tide
One way ticket for a one way ride
Shrinking circles slowly dragging you down
Once I believed in you but you were telling lies
You took away the joys and ruined all the highs
The empty promises that never came to be
Too many broken hearts have finally got the best, of me

Cry Cry Cry
03:32

Well I used to be so happy
Well I used to be the one
Opportunities kept knockin’
Spent my whole life in the sun
I had money in my pocket
I was warm and I was dry
Didn’t think about tomorrow
So somebody tell me why
I just cry cry cry, I just cry cry cry
I Just cry cry cry, all the time
Don’t know why why why
Don’t know why why why
I just cry cry cry, all the time
Don’t remember when it started
Seemed to creep up from behind
I just didn’t see it coming
Never paid it any mind
Was it something in the water?
Was it something that I said?
I can change my situation
But I just can’t change my head

He Ain't The Kind
04:08
|
|||
See you getting all excited
See you smiling all the time
You got something on your finger
You got something on your mind
And I heard a little rumour
You been making future plans
And I bet you wouldn’t listen
But you need to understand
I know him baby - he ain’t the kind
Don’t need no worries, weighing on his mind
Well you think you’re gonna tame him
Thinks he needs to be arranged
And he loves how much you love him
And he swears he’s gonna change
Gonna be some compromising
There’s so many bills to pay
No more weekends in the country
No more time to get away
And you love him baby, but you ought to know
He’s still a dreamer, he’s a rolling stone
Bells are ringing, people singing
Taking pictures, drinking wine
And somebody told me, he ain’t around
A bird can’t be happy, living on the ground

I Don't Know Why I Try
04:43
|
|||
I see her every morning on my street
I wonder where she goes and who she meets
In my dreams I see
She’s walking out with me
But something tells me that will never be
Sometimes, I don’t know why I even try
So shy, I don’t know why I even try
I know I’m just an ordinary guy
But if I had a minute of her time
She would know I’m real
And how I really feel
But if she turned around I think I’d die
Sometimes, I don’t know why I even try
So shy, I don’t know why I even try
Guess, I’ll have to face reality
I can’t give her anything
Except my soul and that’s for free
But sometimes, I don’t know why I even try
So shy, I don’t know why I even try

Like A Train
04:35
|
|||
You hear me coming down the line
Fire is loaded burning bright
I never stick around too long
Turn your head and I’ll be gone
Because I move like a train
I move like a train
If I’m passing through your town
I’ll pick you up and I’ll let you down
You climb on board step inside
Gonna take you for a ride
I’m building up a head of steam
There ain’t no place that I ain’t been
Because I move like a train
And I move like a train
Buy your ticket, get on board
Ring my bell and pull my cord
Hear me calling baby
Well I ain’t no Casey Jones
Woo woo
Driving on through the night
Backwood country city lights
Heading for the next sunrise
Settle down and close your eyes
Because I move like a train
I move like a train
If I’m passing through your town
I’ll pick you up and I’ll let you down
Woo woo

OK By Me
02:20
|
|||
Well if you’re always troubled
And if your always down
Feel disassociated
Don’t recognise your town
And if you’re having trouble
Just being what they want you to be
You’re OK by me
Do you ever get the feeling
You’ve seen it all before?
And if the politicians
Can’t reach you anymore
And if your crystal vision
Can’t see what they want you to see
You’re OK by me
A millionaire is talking on my TV
He’s saying I should live within my means
But man you can’t afford to take it easy
You’re gonna die if you don’t eat your greens
If everbody’s talking
And you don’t hear a thing
And if the world keeps turning
And you’re just standing still
And if you’re always bothered
By people, who won’t let you be
You’re OK by me

Lonely Lovin' Time
05:12
|
|||
I’m searching for something
I’m falling behind
I need a connection
I’m hoping to find
A way to believe in
For feeling alive
A world without reason
A world without crying
Only see a sad solution, but I’ve gotta try
All alone in my confusion, time is passing by
And it’s a lonely loving time
And it’s a lonely loving time
And it’s a lonely loving time
And it’s a lonely loving time
The ordinary people
I envy their lives
They’re walking in sunshine
I walk in the night
I walk in the night
The ordinary people
I envy their lives
They’re walking in sunshine
I walk in the night
But nobody sees me
I’m wearing a shroud
Just one of the lonely
A face in the crowd
Never ending situation, it seems to me
Happiness and sweet salvation, will never be
And it’s a lonely loving time
And it’s a lonely loving time

The Bad Losers Bristol
The Bad Loser’s formed in 2004 due to a shared love of 60s Garage and Freakbeat.
Their recordings
are made in a garden shed which resembles a small Working Men’s Club with carousal competing equally with musical creation.
In the comfort of this environment, the band have settled down to a long period of home recording in search of capturing an appropriate lo-fi sound.
