This is the kind of music you would like to hear even if your lover did not call for days or if your cat was run over by a car. All the songs, even the more phi

We've been at it for more than 30 years now and there's no reason to stop as long as one of us is still able to operate a bottle opener.

Lyrics

235 Hurdy gurdy
Saturday, pressing crowds, shopping centres loom,
ragged man, his scratched machine fighting for his room.
Handle turns, a hissing noise and warbled sounds come out;
a hat is put down for the coins, the mercy of the crowd.

Hurdy gurdy, turn the wheel,
hurdy gurdy, this is how I feel.

I am the monkey on the box, I do my old routines;
I grin my grins, raise my hat and play the man of means;
on and on, day by day, time and time again,
I move on and the drop of coins truly tells me when.

The handle turns, the pipes breathe tunes, their reedy wheezing sound
and while the crowds are moving on it’s moving round and round.
I’m still standing in a daze, hear old songs repeat,
we move in cycles on and on but never they’re complete.
