Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!

My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song
Not something I get a lot of at the moment... but one day. I really envisaged this being sung by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters...
Lyrics
Intro: E A13 Do you ever feel your appetite’s been sated F#m C#9 And you know for sure that work is overrated F# G#m7 Well I’ve got a simple aim A6 B So let me just explain Verses: E E7 I need some downtime.. you know that cannot be so bad A G o Give me some downtime .. the only thing I’ve never had E C# F# We’ll pay someone else to sweep up the floor B+ B And put a guard outside to keep the wolves from the door I want some downtime .. my lazy gland’s been underused Lay on that downtime … you know I’m easily amused Just leave me at home all day with my missus And don’t you try to tell me that that isn’t what bliss is Gimme that downtime – just for once I’ll miss that plane Oh for that down time… just send me on that gravy train E G#m F#m F#sus2 Just leave me alone.. I’ve got no reason to roam (stop) A G° B E Solo: I love my downtime… down time at home Ending: Can’t wait for that downtime .. get my nose stuck in a book Fabulous downtime.. I might even learn to cook E G#m F#m F#sus2 Chorus: Just leave him alone.. he’s got no reason to roam (stop) A G° B E Solo: I love my downtime… down time at home A G° C#m F#sus2 Solo: Give me my downtime why should I roam A G° B E Solo: I love my downtime… down time at home
