about

A motown-inspired 60's dance number. With a 60's dance to suit (check out the clip on Youtube!).

This is the first release from the upcoming album, following up on 2017's 'Foxy's Farm'. Released in April 2020 during the COVID 19 global pandemic, the song was finished (and the 'dance' clip made) with members at home in isolation.

lyrics

I got better things to do with my time
than sit around watch you drinking my wine
by now we should be so much further along
come on

Time is money honey is that who you are
cos it ain't living darling working so hard
one day we realy should think through this again
when?

Get serious
Get serious
Get serious

We don't need all that junk that's on sale
just smiles on our faces and food on the table
I got no use for all that fooling around

Get Serious
Get Serious
Get Serious

This is it, now's the time
gotta work it on out
who we'll be for the rest of our lives
and what'll we do

We can be who we want
we can make it ourselves
simple life, make a home
oh darling what'll we do
hallelujah when it's no longer just me and you
