Watercress Thieves are currently a songwriting partnership made up of Malcolm Shipp & James Levan both from the South West of England. We have played together for many years and started writing semi-seriously in 2005, had to take a break whilst I lived overseas but now as of December 2007 we are working on a heap of new songs and planning to put together a full on Folk band in the new year 2008. So if you are into folk and play an acoustic instrument then do get in touch, multi instrumentalists with vocal abilities are the most welcome!

Story behind the song
This is a first for me as I'm learning guitar, this is the first song that I ever wrote with the guitar, was just strumming a few chords and thought, hey I got something there. It is also my first collaboration with my flat mate here in India, Pete Calcutt who is pretty magical on guitar and the mandolin that he's only had for a week!!! He is now fully integrated into the Watercress Thieves clan. You can figure out the story behind the song pretty easily I think.

Yes, you did read that write “Givson”! Satisfied Verse 1 Well there you were the 12th of June And in your mouth the silver spoon You never want for something You never work for nothing Looks like you’ll find out very soon Chorus When you get what you want, you don’t want what you get When you walk through the storm you know you don’t get wet When you buy what you sell you don’t sell what you buy You know you’ll never be satisfied Verse 2 So I see you got your brand new car Fast as you like it won’t get you far Because it don’t show who you are Chorus 2 Well the times gonna come when it ain’t much fun And the light shines down but you don’t see the sun You don’t get much you know lest you reap what you sow You know you’ll never go satisfied Verse 3 So now it’s hit you in the eye You gotta change before you die Chorus When you get what you want, you don’t want what you get When you walk through the storm you know you don’t get wet If you buy what you sell but don’t sell what you buy You know you’ll never be satisfied Words and Music © Malcolm Shipp July 11th 2005 Pete Calcutt: Guitar & Mandolin Malcolm Shipp: Lead & Harmony Vocals, Harmonica
