lyrics

In need of some repair
Stripping in the hall after the bailiffs called
In need of some repair
The vines still crawl while the prices fall
We got notes piled under the floor
But no one accepts them any more
In need of some repair, oh we’re in need of some repair

In need of some repair
The damp sparks and the cold starts
In need of some repair
The crooked parts and shrunken hearts
The light bulbs 'round us flicker
I can feel my muscles wither
In need of some repair, oh we’re in need of some repair

But while there's a dusty bottle in the cupboard
Woodsmoke curling round the yard
I wouldn't have it any other way
So lets raise the glass, knock it down
Don't consult the sell by date
Just appreciate before they blow away
The things around us here today

In need of some repair
Draw the nicotine curtain my joints need attention
In need of some repair
Cause I've had more complaints than I care to mention
My recollections fade as fast as new ones can be made,
oh we're in need of some repair, oh we’re in need of some repair

So lets raise the glass before you look to close at my sell by date
And appreciate before they blow away
The things around us here today

In need of some repair
Circuit's tripped but the fire's still lit
In need of some repair
If they'd leave us be we could get on with it
But they'll never comprehend
The beauty they condemned
Because it's in need of some repair,
Oh it's in need of some
In need of some repair
Oh it's in need of some
In need of some repair

Julian Gaskell UK

Described by angry locals as the bastard son of Waits, Strummer, Reinhardt and Rachmaninov, Julian Gaskell’s music over the last 20 years has followed a wayward path of withering agricultural-folk, klezmer accordion, overly-lyrical punk, gypsy-jazz guitar, tangos, waltzes, rhumbas and skiffled-up boogie-woogie piano. ... more
