about

I was surprised how easy it was to find out. The Jazz clubs, the Folk clubs. I bet here are more though.

lyrics

the alpha-males are out of town
now the punks they take their seats
there's me making for the jazz club
a place I never ever seen
there's me going to see the princess
catch her playing some fucked-up jazz
there's that crazy older lady
perfect hairdo, evening gown

as I crack my bottle open
she slowly turns her head around
with a look of disapproval
cutting through the trombone's sound

she goes cut that crap
stop that noise
betcha punk
this is no hang out for you boys
this is no hang out for you boys

the alpha males are out of town
whitley bay gang takes their seats
there's me making for the folk club
to play some tunes to make my day
there's me heading north for hours
driving up Newcastle way
the old geezers at the folk club
they hang out here for far too long

this must be geordie folk rules
and they sure know right from wrong
do something to sing along
better sing a miner's song
and we'll all be fine

but cut that crap
stop that noise
betcha punk
this is no hang out for you boys
this is no hang out for you boys

this is such
a different world
this is such
a different song
i tell you what
this is not where i belong
