About having radical politics and dressing conservatively and about falling in love with a girl who worries too much about the future.

Lyrical and striking political folk music from the UK.
I'm Al and I play the guitar and sing some songs about things that I want to sing songs about. It's a folky style, but I like to think there's a punk-ass edge to it. There's more stuff about me at my main website - www.albaker.co.uk and my MySpace at www.myspace.com/albaker . This is the place where I put all my songs up for free download. Thanks for checking me out.

Lyrics
Sometimes I Wish I Had A Mohawk I’m the kind of a guy who gets stuck in the back room at parties Beer in my fist, raised half to my lips, as I give out some free evening classes on Philosophy and politics and where the world’s gone wrong More or less I make it up as I go along Then sing the old red flag, and get the words wrong You’re the kind of a girl who wants a husband, a kid and a Mercedes You find my Guardian reading sometimes quite disturbing, but you think my crossword skills are amazing You say that you don’t really care about the wider world And you like your men to treat you like a little princess girl But I know that you never take the Telegraph that seriously either Sometimes I wish I had a Mohawk So people expect what they get when I talk And sometimes I wish I had a magic mirror If beauty isn’t skin deep where is it I wonder? I’m the kind of a guy who uses humour as one of his defences And if I wait for you for a year or two then maybe you’ll come to your senses I don’t need a girl who’s politically sound I just need a best friend who’ll stay around To laugh at my jokes and take pity on my various offences Sometimes I wish I had a Mohawk But my hair just doesn’t grow that way So I’ll let you imagine it, Say I love you And I hope you’ll say it back to me some day I’m the kind of a guy who thinks that we should be together And I detest writing love songs that go on too long and this thing has gone on forever You said you loved me for my morals and my passion and my fire But believe me I can do that and whatever you require I ain’t gonna change for you, I don’t think I can You be my Mohawk And I’ll be your man
