"Melee In Madrid!" (written by
Grant, Dave and Nick in Dave's basement, 1997)
Melee in Madrid!
Jimmy and Grant drivin' all over town
crashing and a banging and a messing around
smashing into cars down cobblestone lanes
put it in reverse and ram it again
cops say stop but I say no
Jimmy says 'floor it' and away we go!
hookers say 'hi, wanna stop and buy?'
A little later honey, Jimmy zip up your fly!
Won't fit here so slam it into gear
do the Mercedes-Mash while smashing her rear
Hombre says 'carumba' but I don't wanna rumble
let's get outta here or catch some Spanish thunder!
Jimmy and Grant driving all over town
smashing and banging and a messing around
but everything's gonna be alright
cuz we're rockin' in Madrid on a Saturday night!
"Cans Of Love" (written by Dave 1986, revamped
backstage at De Verlk, Rotterdam NL 1997)
I saw her on the corner
standing by a garbage can
she reached into the garbage
and pulled out a big chicken
I love you
Cans Of Love
She bit into the breast
juicy and barbeque
everytime I see that chicken
I cannot help but think of you
Cans are filled with pizza
chicken and baclava
the smell it really takes me
to heaven and the stars above
"I Want / Need / Demand Action!" (written by Grant
1997)
I want action!
You want action!
We want action!
Baby I want you
When you walked into the discoteque
I knew you were too hot
cuz all the other men were burning up
as you strutted your sweet foxtrot
because all I want is a little care
and some Saturday attention too
I want action, you want action, we want action, baby I want
you!
dancing round the checkered floor
you wouldn't even look my way
all the other guys don't know your game
but I know the rules you play
He needs action
I want action
I need action
I demand action
I want action, you want action, we want action baby I want
you!
"Buddy Holly Convention" (written by Grant in
Berkeley, 1996)
"What's the deal with the glasses?"
They're our honourary nerd passes
"Are you on the way to the chess club today?"
Everybody make way for the Waldos
with our geek goggles on our nose
"are the Geekenstein Twins coming out today?"
To the Buddy Holly Convention,
Buddy Holly Convention or bust
Bouncing all the way, across the mighty USA
we'll be in Clear Lake Iowa in just two days
then it's down to Lubbock where the Texans all just love us
'cause we look just like their lost son born again
"Hey Woody, Weezer and Elvis,
with the glasses, not the pelvis,
are you on the way to the chess club today?"
"Look, it's Buddy, Buddy and Buddy,
let me be the first to make you bloody,
are you on the way to the convention today?"
chorus
"I Love Spoons" (written by Grant in Wales, 1997)
I
I wanna carve a Love Spoon for you
It's the only thing that'll ever do
a love spoon for you
I'm just new in town,
it's nice of you to show around
to Gower's Point and Mumbles
I hope you don't mid if I spoon with you
It doesn't matter what I carve
a heart, a wheel or the Celtic cross
I want you forever and a day,
but I can't understand what you say
I ain't a sailor and I can't serf
but I know I want you as my turf
I'll meet you at the pub at the half of eight
I'll give you my spoon and be your slave
I love spoons
The Smugglers
