DaveThis is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. Mixed and mastered by Brian Roberts I'm just a normal kinda guy You can trust me I don't wear a tie I'll do my bit for charity If it boosts my popularity I'm alright. I'm having so much fun I'm alright. Looking out for number one I'm alright. Got a damned good head of hair I'm alright. I'm a multi billionaire I can't resist a PR stunt I just put my face on back to front You can shoot me into outer space With a stupid grin across my face I'm alright. I'm having so much fun I'm alright. Looking out for number one I'm alright. Got a damned good head of hair I'm alright. I'm a multi billionaire When I go to sleep I think about the friendships I've had to sacrifice Then I simply fall unconscious 'Cos I don't have a conscience Take my advice You don't get rich by being nice I'm alright. I'm having so much fun I'm alright. Looking out for number one I'm alright. Got a damned good head of hair I'm alright. I'm a multi billionaire

Astronauts
AstronautsDownload from https://scaredycatsuk.bandcamp.com/releases Scaredycats (formed in 2015) have built a reputation for the originality of their live performances and songwriting, citing influences as broad as The Kinks, Talking Heads and Frank Zappa. With wry, world-weary lyrics, Scaredycats deliver their views on the dubious pleasures of online shopping, the wisdom of dogs, the pointlessness of conflict, and the search for happiness… Lyrics ⇣ Ask yourself Did you understand the question? When you wake up in the morning Can you face your own reflection? And ask yourself Do you believe everything you read? If you see it in a headline It’s wrapping chips by tea time Everybody is an astronaut All alone in time and space Do you know What history can teach us? It's written by the victors They’re such exquisite creatures And do you know When it’s time to make up your mind Were you standing to attention Or do you need more information? Everybody is an astronaut All alone in time and space Just a universal afterthought Heading for a better place Way beyond our galaxy of stars A parallel existence just like ours Binary decisions in reverse I’ll meet you in our secret universe Say goodbye before you go Hasta la vista, cheerio Bon voyage and tally ho You take the high, I take the low Everybody is an astronaut All alone in time and space Just a universal afterthought Heading for a better place ©Scaredycats 2017

Dumb Animals
Dumb AnimalsDownload from https://scaredycatsuk.bandcamp.com/releases Scaredycats (formed in 2015) have built a reputation for the originality of their live performances and songwriting, citing influences as broad as The Kinks, Talking Heads and Frank Zappa. With wry, world-weary lyrics, Scaredycats deliver their views on the dubious pleasures of online shopping, the wisdom of dogs, the pointlessness of conflict, and the search for happiness… Lyrics ⇣ There is a fact of life that makes me want to cry The certain knowledge that one day I’m gonna die I realise it’s just the way it has to be I cannot count on being here indefinitely But dumb animals don’t seem think this way They simply concentrate on living day to day Why don’t they understand or try to comprehend? The day we’re born is the beginning of the end Dumb animals, they’re dumb animals They can’t see further than their nose They must be stupid I suppose Dumb animals, they’re dumb animals They don’t need gadgets, cash or clothes They must be stupid I suppose A virtual existence seems to be the latest craze And the grass is always greener where I decided not to graze Has our obsession with possessions sealed our fate? And what good will it do us as we near the pearly gates? But dumb animals don’t wear a shirt and tie Or spend the weekend wondering what else they might buy They seem so comfy in the skin in which they’re born What is the secret unto which they have all sworn? Ch So when you’re lying in you king size hotel bed Do you ever wish you had your dog’s life instead? He doesn’t worry how he’s going to pay the bills Just take him for a walk and his whole life is fulfilled Ch ©Scaredycats 2017

With wry, world-weary lyrics, Scaredycats deliver their views on the dubious pleasures of online shopping, the wisdom of dogs, the pointlessness of conflict, and the search for happiness… Lyrics ⇣ Walking around with my head in the clouds Looking for something I’ve already found Something for nothing, nothing for free I’m just like you, and you’re just like me I dream too much I want too much I need too much I have too much I pray too much I pay too much I sleep too much I’m awake too much You can’t always be who you want to be You’re a tall dark stranger in your fantasy In the morning light, you give up the fight No one’s in your corner, just a new day older ©Scaredycats 2017

Are We Dead?
Are We Dead?Download from https://scaredycatsuk.bandcamp.com/releases Scaredycats (formed in 2015) have built a reputation for the originality of their live performances and songwriting, citing influences as broad as The Kinks, Talking Heads and Frank Zappa. With wry, world-weary lyrics, Scaredycats deliver their views on the dubious pleasures of online shopping, the wisdom of dogs, the pointlessness of conflict, and the search for happiness… Lyrics ⇣ Are we dead? Are we dead? It keeps going around my head Refugees below us and bombers overhead Are we dead? Are we dead? Are there bullets in our head? Refugees below us and bombers overhead I believe it is no picnic in the country of your birth So I sent you all my sympathy from the other side of earth But now you’re on my doorstep you’re a little close to home I’d really like to help you, but I’ve got problems of my own Ch It’s getting hard to know who’s in the right or in the wrong So we make ourselves feel better with a patriotic song And when we hear the battle cry it’s not our place to reason why We just join the congregation and make sure we sing along Ch I prayed to God Almighty to send me a confirmation He said “Don’t you know I’m just a figment of your imagination Do you really think I want to take the credit for this shit? I wish I hadn’t bothered, from this moment forth I quit” Ch ©Scaredycats 2017

With wry, world-weary lyrics, Scaredycats deliver their views on the dubious pleasures of online shopping, the wisdom of dogs, the pointlessness of conflict, and the search for happiness… Lyrics ⇣ What do you do when there's nothing to do? Turn out the lights and pretend you're not you How do you feel when there's nothing to feel? It's just an illusion, this thing is not real She's never coming back You've had a heart attack Yeah What can you say when there's nothing to say? Put your head in the sand 'till it all goes away Where can you go when there's nowhere to go? Someone's taken the gold from the end of the rainbow But she's never coming back You've had a heart attack Yeah Jesus ain't coming back He's had enough of that Yeah ©Scaredycats 2017

With wry, world-weary lyrics, Scaredycats deliver their views on the dubious pleasures of online shopping, the wisdom of dogs, the pointlessness of conflict, and the search for happiness… Lyrics ⇣ Somewhere in this world, you don’t have a care Living like the other half, for two weeks every year You follow your religion, worshipping the sun Basking in tranquillity, then pandemonium Nothing unusual about today Several people’s lives blown away Somewhere in this world, nobody seems to care You barely dare go out, destruction’s everywhere You follow your religion, worshipping the gun You’re looking for salvation, in oblivion Nothing unusual about today Just several people’s lives thrown away What do our politician’s always say? We’ll drop a few bombs on them, and make them pay We’re droning on and on and on and on and on Nothing unusual about today Several people’s lives blown away What do our politician’s always say? We’ll drop a few bombs on them, and make them pay ©Scaredycats 2017

With wry, world-weary lyrics, Scaredycats deliver their views on the dubious pleasures of online shopping, the wisdom of dogs, the pointlessness of conflict, and the search for happiness… Lyrics ⇣ All alone on a crowded beach Waiting for a seventh wave I only came to get an all-over tan But that's no way you should behave Something is wrong with my equilibrium I've got myself into a state I'm not a fan of milk of magnesia I think it's gonna have to wait All alone on a desert isle Digging myself a shallow grave I only came to get away from it all But now I cannot wait to leave Something is wrong with my equilibrium I've got myself into a state I'm not a fan of milk of magnesia I think it's gonna have to wait ©Scaredycats 2017

With wry, world-weary lyrics, Scaredycats deliver their views on the dubious pleasures of online shopping, the wisdom of dogs, the pointlessness of conflict, and the search for happiness… Lyrics ⇣ I had a premonition When you and I were opposition It was a strange sensation That we could form a coalition After negotiation To legitimise cohabitation We had a champagne celebration Then imposed ourselves upon the nation Now there’s a stranger in my bed And I can’t get you from my head When I’m awake I’m full of dread Give me back my independent life instead There was no consummation And this became a situation I gave an ultimatum But all I got was aggravation Publicly we seemed to function But this was just a fabrication And so we came to our conclusion And agreed to have a devolution Now there’s a stranger in my bed And I can’t get you from my head When I’m awake I’m full of dread Give me back my independent life instead ©Scaredycats 2017

With wry, world-weary lyrics, Scaredycats deliver their views on the dubious pleasures of online shopping, the wisdom of dogs, the pointlessness of conflict, and the search for happiness… Lyrics ⇣ What happened to the future? I’d really like to know It isn’t like the glossy pictures In your manifesto You’d Photoshop reality And airbrush humankind You look like this year’s model But inside you’re feeling left behind Everybody multi tasking Always busy doing nothing Would you like help with your packing? No thanks, but thanks for asking Everybody status checking Feeling they are somehow lacking Doubled glazed and online shopping Staying and parcel tracking What happened to the people Who couldn’t make the grade? You say they’re all responsible For decisions that you made You play with my anxiety You know what’s on my mind A life is not worth living When your credit card has been declined If you don’t like it, send it back And roll around in bubble wrap Delete your history, clear your cache Your innocence is still intact ©Scaredycats 2017

With wry, world-weary lyrics, Scaredycats deliver their views on the dubious pleasures of online shopping, the wisdom of dogs, the pointlessness of conflict, and the search for happiness… Lyrics ⇣ I’ve been pondering existence, I think therefore I am Is it all a big coincidence, or someone’s master plan? I wonder if the answer lies beyond our solar system There has to be a simple explanation Some people turn the other cheek, while others stand and fight I’ve got my own philosophy, but it’s not water tight Are we looking for the same thing in opposite directions? Everything must happen for a reason We’re only human Everybody has a question Is there anyone to ask? For guidance for our future And forgiveness of our past It seem like our survival instincts always see us through If you’re prepared to do unto what you don’t want done to you I don’t want to spend the rest of my life seeking redemption But heaven knows I can’t resist temptation I’m only human Everybody has a question Is there anyone to ask? For guidance for our future And forgiveness of our past We’re only human ©Scaredycats 2017
