Well, someone needs to post the lyrics at least...
BUGGER OFF
(Tim Searles and Tommy Ward)
Bugger off ya bastards bugger off
Bugger off ya bastards bugger off
Like a heard of bloody swine
Who refuse to leave the trough
You'll get no more this evening so
Ya bastards bugger off
You've been a lovely audience but oh the time has past
So don't ya all be letting the door, hit ya in the ass
You've been a lovely audience but enough is enough
We'd take it very kindly if ya'd all just bugger off
Here's to the barkeeps and the waitresses who've been serving you your beer
They put up with your awful breath and your stupid drunken leers
Be leaving all your money on the table when ya go
Tomorrow you'll have a throbbin head and nothing else to show
Here's to all the lovely ladies who are waiting for the band
And thinking one of them might make a torrid one-night-stand
Oh please don't be offended girls this song's not meant for you
And we're happy to oblige you when this nasty job is through
So now you're promising the ladies a night of lovin' bliss
When truth be told you're far to drunk to stand up straight and piss
So give it up ya bloody sods you'll not be getting laid
And the sooner that you're out the door, the sooner we'll get paid!
nice eh... let's sing this one for Granny...
;-)
Songwriter name added 15 Aug 2012.
From Tim Searles:Just to clarify...Tony Miles did not write "Bugger Off"......It was written by myself and Tommy Ward, members of "Bootless and Unhorsed" (Burlington, Vermont) in 1988 and recorded on our live record "If Pigs Could Fly" in 1994. Thousands of copies where sold (which is a big deal in Vermont, and tens of thousands of people heard us use the song as an encore during our long tenure as the house band at Burlington's legendary "Last Chance Saloon".
