Artist picture
Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Story behind the song
Yeah that's m' board - and I like it.
Lyrics
I'm not cut out to be a surfin' dude Guess it's just the attitude Being a beach bum sounds ideal But too much like hard work for me All that time scraping and waxing That could be better spent relaxing I just get on with having fun And go bodyboarding in the sun There's a surfing pecking order They look down on the bodyboarder It's OK for kids when they're just starting But somehow not the proper thing But look at the stuff you need And skills to hone just to succeed Time and money I can't afford So I'm sticking with the short board You have to get a wet suit You have to go to surf school And certain brands you must be seen wearing That whole competitive status thing And, oh Lord, the techniques just to stay on I'm too old, too lazy to learn And a big old van to carry your sh*t in Thanks, I'm happy just not fitting in I don't care if I don't look cool Dreadlocked pros think I'm a fool I don't struggle with expensive kit And all the planning that goes with it When I hear the waves a-crashin' I take my short board and just go splashing in Concentrate on having fun And go bodyboarding in the sun Concentrating on having fun Bodyboarding in the sun

Dig that laid-back 6/4 verse, but the climbing bridge is something else. Good time music, fun for all.
