lyrics

I've only ever been a chancer
I've only ever been a chancer
I've only ever been a chancer
I've only ever taken my roll of the dice

Do you think I'm a bit of a fool?
Get up and record my album before I go to school

You were one of the many who I lent my toys to.
Should I still be angry at you,
because you broke them,
even though you had your own?

but all you can do is play with what's around you
(you dropped your dart in my football
and when we were older)
all you can do is play with what's around you
(it's too much to recall.)

There's nothing else here
There's nothing else here
There's nothing else here
There's nothing else here

Your broken teeth come to me in a dream
Mumble to a shuffle to a shout
Standin on the sidelines
Gerrup ya boyya, Go on ya dancer!

(You've got your big house)

Gerrup ya boyya, Go on ya dancer!
Gerrup ya boyya, Go on ya dancer!

I'm alone out here
though I've got company
no you
you couldn't come with me
you once said
i would be the only one to get out
and without a doubt

I've only ever been a chancer
on the sidelines
Gerrup ya boyya, Go on ya dancer!
I've only ever been a chancer
Gerrup ya boyya, Go on ya dancer!
I've only ever been a chancer

You've only ever
been a chancer
admit it, drunk dancer

You've only ever
been a chancer
admit it, drunk dancer
admit it, drunk dancer

drool together
by Chocolate Dog

This is an album I made in collaboration over the internet with two fine musicians back home in Dublin Ireland. There is a very interesting mix of styles, tones and rhythms. Dan Ball
