about

This one I like to think is about my own Short fallings and inadequacies - It's nowt to do with dreads really!

lyrics

He’s handsome, a little insecure
Trendy shoes and six feet tall
His film star looks will charm the knickers off ya mam
Prefers the book to the film an educated man
He plays guitar drums and flute
Knows every single answer in trivial pursuit
Speaks three languages, 3 degrees
He can rock climb, skateboard does tai chi ……
He’s an expert on subjects that no one understands
Like Brexit, algebra and pineal glands
He’s got dreads, well of course he has
A surf board and a campervan
He’s got dreads, you know he has
Tribal tattoos from Vietnam
Kids love him, he wants four
Knows everything about ‘viron-mental law
He knows the bassist in every band
So he’s always on a guest pass, always on a guest pass - always on a guest pass
He’s vegan, THAT’S OBVIOUS
He buys organic from ethical shops
He’s an activist, campaigning
To raise awareness for the plight of the artic fox
He’s in touch with his feminine side ……
OF COURSE HE IS –
He’s got gay friends, he’s got black friends
He marches every year at pride
He’s everything I’m not; he’s not scared of Davey Watts
He’ll beat anybody’s cousin at Subbuteo
Every set of traffic lights for him are always green
The jammy fuckin’ bastard shagged the carnival queen
He’s got dreads, well of course he has
A surf board and a campervan
He’s got dreads, you know he has
Tribal tattoos from Vietnam
He’s a black belt in bukakke, third dan at mah-jong
Respected by the triads on the back streets of Hong Kong
He listens, he’s tidy, he’s good a DIY
Teetotal and he’s healthy with his no chips perfect smile

With ease he’ll 7 ball ya
He’s the king of Sunday League
Score bull’s-eye, drop the jackpot
Win the raffle and the sweep
Always buys big issue
Blue peter badge on his lapel
His constant use of big words, I don’t know or cannot spell

He’s got dreads, well of course he has
A surf board and a campervan
He’s got dreads, well of course he has
