I Wouldn't Call It A Day
This is based on a true story
All the names have been changed
To protect the innocent
Summertime, calling out from the rooftops
To all you tone deaf louts (flashback)
The very last of the famous of good times were set to Casio tones
In the very wasteland of eighty four
The non-commercial could hit and run (and what's more)
The mike was a weapon you had to reckon with
On the pirate radio stations
The new antics of the latest lot: Skins, Suedes, Heavy Metal,
New Romantics, Hip Hoppers, Rappers, Goths
Discontented the contented but all the trouble ended
The moment Frank plugged himself in and released us
The rhapsody never blue too you, but blood red and it blew you too
The body and soul and heart and mind of jazz hitting full on
(I wouldn't call it a day)
Bailing out, turn your back and go away, call it a day
(I wouldn't call it a day)
Backing out never happened if I had my say
(I wouldn't call it a day)
Bailing out, turn your back and go away, call it a day
(I wouldn't call it a day)
Backing out never happened if I had
Had had had had had had had had my say
Better times up ahead with double U to the third power (Napster)
Mp3 broke the mould
Old School New school what have you
It's till rock-rock-rock'n'rollhighschool to start
But we got scattered all around
Everyone has found own truth in seas of terabytes and podcasts
Video wounded the radio star
But YouTube finished him off (clean off)
Leaving us jetlagged, tightassed and fucked
Liking this, linking that, sharing that, like twittering twats
These blogs are like assholes everyone has one
One thing to repeat before I retreat
Is the feel of the beat getting down to my feet
The body and soul and heart and mind of jazz hitting full on
(I wouldn't call it a day)
Bailing out, turn your back and go away, call it a day
(I wouldn't call it a day)
Backing out never happened if I had my say
(I wouldn't call it a day)
Bailing out, turn your back and go away, call it a day
(I wouldn't call it a day)
Backing out never happened if I had my say
I Wouldn't call it a day
(Hey hey hey)
I Wouldn't call it a day
(Hey hey hey)
FM one oh four point five kept it real, kept it sound, kept it alive
From the earliest AM's tot the latest PM's
The music seeping from the underground
Backing out never happened if I had my say
Wouldn't call it a day
Backing out never happened if I had my say
Wouldn't call it a day
Backing out never happened if I had my say
Wouldn't call it a day
Backing out never happened if I had my say
I wouldn't call it a
All the names have been changed
