about

Song written mainly by Tom Clelland, a friend of mine from Margate in Kent. I added some lyrics and a bit of a change in the music. It's about the stresses of life under Thatcherism when no one had a job and we all left the UK to work abroard. At least, I did,

lyrics

First you’re a baby, then your a child,
They send you to school with your head runnin’ wild.
Give you some lessons to slow you right down,
It takes you 20 more years just to come back around,

You’re Crackin’ up,
You’re Crackin’ up,
You’re Crackin’ up,

Then you leave school at a suitable age,
You get yourself a job with a suitable wage.
The management say “Hey!, You’re just what we need,
You’d better wanna follow as we wanna lead”,

You’re Crackin’ up,
You’re Crackin’ up,
You’re Crackin’ up,

Everybody’s rushin’
Round and round and round,
Here and there and everywhere,
Everybody’s upside down

You’re Crackin’ up,
You’re Crackin’ up,
You’re Crackin’ up,

You go to a bar, You’re feeling quite dry,
You really need something to get yourself high.
Money on the table, to get nicely pissed,
There’s nothing quite like it to forget about this,

You’re Crackin’ up,
You’re Crackin’ up,
You’re Crackin’ up,

You’re Crackin’ up,
You’re Crackin’ up,
You’re Crackin’ up,
