Tripod - Bugger off Lyrics
(Copyright)

Yon: Dah-ba-dah, dah-ba-dah, dah-dah, dah-ba-dah, dah.

This is fun,
Let's do this again next week,
I think we should.
Just had one,
Well, they told me that this gear was really good.

Gatesy: Now I know we've been buddies,
For four hundred years.
Through good and through cruddy,
And part-time careers.

Scod: But recently I'm thinking,
Tripod: Indecently I'm thinking.
Yon: I think you...
Gatesy and Scod: I think you...
Tripod: ... know what I'm thinking,
How's about it, you and me?

Yon: Yeah?
Aww.
Well,

Tripod: Bugger off.
I will love you to the end,
So bugger off.
Yes, I know that we're good friends,
But bugger off.
No, I'm not having a lend,
Just bugger off.
I am out, so I'm taking my bat home now.

Scod: Now you know,
Yon and Gatesy: You know...
Scod: And you don't agree that we should do the do.
Yon and Gatesy: Do the do, do the do, do the do...
Scod: Prob'ly right,
Yon and Gatesy: You know...
Scod: It would stuff us up as friends, I think so too.

Yon and Gatesy: But then again you never know...
Scod: Then again, you never know,
Yon and Gatesy: Oooh...
Scod: If you don't give it a go.
Yon and Gatesy: Oooh...
Scod: If you spend your whole life choosing,
Yon and Gatesy: Oooh...
Scod: In the end it's you who's losing.

And what if you succeed and find,
Yon and Gatesy: What if you succeed...
Scod: The perfect one you had in mind?
Yon and Gatesy: The perfect one you need...
Scod: Things are never what you hope they'll be.
Yon and Gatesy: Never hoped they'll...
Tripod: It's true, just ask me.

Bugger off.
I will love you to the end,
So bugger off.
Yes, I know that we're good friends,
But bugger off.
No, I'm not having a lend,
Just bugger off.
I am out, so I'm taking my bat home now.

Yon and Gatesy: Ahh...
Scod: I've got washing to do, and programs to watch.

Tripod: Na na na... (a'capella string quartet style vocals)

Well, apart from the artists and many of their satirical songs being well loved by Aussies, to the extent of the 'falling about laughing' level - OK - Australia IS a different culture from other nations! - this thread now is also useful to point to for those 'BS thread only political spin posters', I suppose...

Go for it, Robin. One day the northern hemisphere might understand.

Cheers, Rowan

Sadly, without their actual (live on stage) performance, the words (or even just the soundtrack!) alone are not enough... :-)

There's another BUGGER OFF that's probably better known to folkies. It's sung by The Real McKenzies, among others.
