oldrottenhead the bunkbeds from clydebank scotland bedroom band influenced by the flaming lips and pixies
the bunkbeds are jim higgins and the occasional guest players. home made indy rock lofi musings that doesn't take itself to seriously best describes the music and the band. everything recorded at home all on cheap n nasty equipment. the ultimate bedroom band. of late i have found myself collaborating with musicians the world over, predominantly with lyrics and vocals so if you have a tune banging around that you cant come up with lyrics for send it my way and i'll see if i can help.

Lyrics
A chorus a verse and a tune you could hum. There’s no enough time in the day To dae all the things that I’ve got tae dae There’s no enough time left fur play Am never at home, coz work takes me away I never get time on my own I’m lost in the crowd, and I’m never alone Sometimes I just want tae go home Pull out the plug on the telephone. A chorus, a verse and a tune you could hum repeat Everything just goes so fast In the blink of an eye the moment has passed Nothing at all seems to last And what we’re left with is worthless and crass It’s no like it wiz when wur young The flowers they bloomed when spring was sprung Remember the songs that we sung A chorus, a verse and a tune you could hum A chorus, a verse and a tune you could hum repeat I think coz I’m getting mair auld I mibbes less brave and am mibbes less bold Believing the stories I’m told Am writing a letter tae the Sunday post Am giving the kids a hard time Coz they’re driving me out of my mind Am jealous oh the little swine Coz it’s their world it’s no longer mine A chorus, a verse and a tune you could hum repeat Everythings coming humdrum There’s too much reverb on the drums Ah know thay’s annoying for some But I don’t care if they get the hump I’ll do it the way that I want Like yon terriblee enfant I’ll scream and I’ll yell and I’ll taunt Till I get it the way I want A chorus, a verse and a tune you could hum repeat I wonder if I’ll have regrets I don’t think the bookies are taking bets It’s too early to say just yet But I think this is all you’re gonna get A chorus, a verse and a tune you could hum But I think this is all you’re gonna get words and music jim higgins
