lyrics

(One Man) Studio Band
(Lyrics and music: Tim Hunter)

Alone in an empty house
Late nights in the studio
The day job was a bore
I wanted more - it was crazy I know

I had a Studio Band
A One Man Studio Band
A Studio Band
Just A One Man Studio Band

Then, one night I got a call
From a guy named Billy Bubb
He said that I could have it all
With a contract signed in blood

I said, I’m far too old
And I’m not chasing Fools Gold
But Bubb wouldn’t take no for an answer
He said ‘take the chance – what are you waitin’ for?

I got a Studio Band
A One Man Studio Band
A Studio Band
Just A One Man Studio Band

He said: you’ll be famous for all time
Just sign on the line
I said I’ll think about it
‘cos my studio band is fine

I got a Studio Band
A One Man Studio Band
A Studio Band
Just A One Man Studio Band
