Brings Me To Tears
He used the same café every day
At 1pm no delay
Polished brass bar and silver fittings
Varnished floor boards, red leather seating
Even though it cost a hefty buck
He’d still went and ordered the same coffee cup
I take it black no sugar please
Coz he’s sweet enough you see
Give this lady a generous tip
She works crazy hours to support her kids
And hasn’t bought herself a new dress in years
And she’s so fine it almost brings me to tears
Yes it does (Yes it does)
Yes it does (Yes it does)
It almost brings me to tears
Yes it does (Yes it does)
Yes it does (Yes it does)
It almost brings me to tears
Can I get you anything else sir?
Maybe a slice of cake?
As she waits for his response
His clammy hands begin to shake
He stuttered his words could hardly speak
A strong business man brought to his knees
The simplest of answers he can’t collate
Eventually responding thanks but I already ate
Give this lady a generous tip
She works crazy hours to support her kids
And hasn’t bought herself a new dress in years
And she’s so fine it almost brings me to tears
Yes it does (Yes it does)
Yes it does (Yes it does)
It almost brings me to tears
Yes it does (Yes it does)
Yes it does (Yes it does)
It almost brings me to tears
Excuse me miss I’ve been wanting to ask you
Would you be free after your shift?
I’d like to take you out tonight
There’s this little place that I think you’d like
Goodness me how long has it been?
I’ve been dropping hints hoping you’d ask me
Why certainly sir I will kindly accept
Only one rule there’ll be no sex yet
Give this lady a generous tip
She works crazy hours to support her kids
And hasn’t bought herself a new dress in years
And she’s so fine it almost brings me to tears
Yes it does (Yes it does)
Yes it does (Yes it does)
It almost brings me to tears
Yes it does (Yes it does)
Yes it does (Yes it does)
It almost brings me to tears
It almost brings me to tears

Hey Bartender

Hey Bartender
Daisy was a high class lady
Wears a black satin dress
It hangs like grace below her knees
And hugs her body tenderly
Wears the highest of high heels
Nothing less than Jimmy Choo’s
And when she walks out of her front door
The men stop and bathe in her awe
She said hey bartender won’t you pour me a drink
The finest liquor a twenty can sink
Cos I’ve been working hard all god dam night
And I just want to get his face out of my mind
Daisy went out every night
To find a new man
Married, gay or of the church
Anyone who could pay her worth
Oh your place or mine she would smile and ask
I don’t take less than 300 cash
But I’ll guarantee you’ll have a good time
I bet you’ll call me back more than twice
She said hey bartender won’t you pour me a drink
The finest liquor a twenty can sink
Cos I’ve been working hard all god dam night
And I just want to get his face out of my mind
Daisy knew it couldn’t last
But she just loved how her punters would gasp
And daisy loved the finer things
Pearl necklace and diamond rings
She met a fine man to call her own
Tall dark handsome big trombone
He whisked her cleanly off her feet
No more working by the street
She said hey bartender won’t you pour us a drink
This is my man I’d like to introduce him
His name is Charlie James Monroe
And by god how I how I love him so
She said hey bartender won’t you pour us a drink
Hey bartender won’t you pour us a drink

Come Home Lyrics
I called my father
On the telephone
i said please, please can I come home
He said of course my darling
Don't you worry at all
He could hear me crying
And said it'll be alright you know
Just cone home (come home)
Oh just come home (come home)
Don't cry my baby just come home
It took all I had
To walk away
Something inside me said
You'll never change
So I walked out the door
Knowing I wouldn't go back
This time it was forever
When I heard my father say
Just cone home (come home)
Oh just come home (come home)
Don’t cry my baby just come home
Sitting on the edge of my bed
The moonlight is drowning me
I see a couple walking by hand in hand
Is this what true love looks like?
Feels unfamiliar to me
In that moment I just knew that
I had to go home
So, you can keep the house
And all my things
Cos I’m happier now yeah
More than I've ever been
You took me for granted
Played me for a fool
I cried to many times
Thank god my father said
Just cone home (come home)
Oh just come home (come home)
Don’t cry my baby just come home
Just cone home (come home)
Oh just come home (come home)
Don’t cry my baby just come home

Raggedy Old Man

Raggedy Old Man
I once new a man
With a raggedy old heart
He toked on his pipe from morning till dark
And he never brushed his teeth
That was obvious to see
Cos they was rotting in his mouth
Just like the sole within him
He use to have a wife and a beautiful life
Till he threatened her one day with a kitchen knife
She kicked his so hard that he couldn't stand up
From that day on he was down on his luck
Oh raggedy old man
Your just a raggedy old man
I use to see him sitting on a bench down the road
With his rusty old bike
Carrier bags as a load
And he'd always be talking to himself
But what he said I could never make out
Well he looks like he is homeless but he does have a home
A big bushy beard yeah it’s overgrown
Dirty black nails and tobacco stained fingers
He use to cough so hard I thought that he’s pass out
From all those cigarettes that he rolled and smoked
Oh raggedy old man
I see your supping on a special brew can
Oh raggedy old man
I wish you'd take that can out of your hand
Oh raggedy old man
Oh raggedy old man
Oh raggedy rag
Old man
Your just a raggedy old man
It had been over a year since I saw him
I thought he had passed away
And it’s not very often people surprise you
But he did that day when I heard him say
Oh no sweet lady not today
The cigarettes and alcohol have gone away
I just want to go home to my lovely wife
And have a cup of tea with her by my side
Cos she's the light of my life
Oh raggedy old man
Oh raggedy old man
Oh raggedy rag
Old man
Your just a raggedy old man

Circus
I should have known from the start
This would end in disgrace
But I wanted to touch, I wanted to taste
I wanted more and more and more of his warm embrace
He had an impeccable face
And oozed charisma
Walked the walk, talked the talk
Made me feel like a star
I soaked it up and I craved more
Oooo it’s like a circus in here
And you’ve been playing the clown
You’ve been a bad, bad boy
Too much fooling around
As I lay across silk sheets
Dripped with desire for his lust
I wasn’t sure if this was love
Or was it illegitimate
I knew I couldn’t get enough
I wanted all you had to give
You seemed to give it all to me
Made me laugh, made me smile
Made me think it was worth while
I thought that we was meant to be
Oooo it’s like a circus in here
And you’ve been playing the clown
You’ve been a bad, bad boy
Too much fooling around
Another night another hotel
I take a shower all alone
Your wallet open on the floor
A photo I just can’t ignore
I should have known long before
Oh just look at your wife
Oh your beautiful wife
Who just wanted a life
With you by her side
You messed up to many times
Oooo it’s like a circus in here
And you’ve been playing the clown
You’ve been a bad, bad boy
Too much fooling around
You’ve been walking this type rope
For too long now
Your world is gonna come
Its gonna come crashing down

Late Night Marauders Hull, UK
"Late Night Marauders are led by whirlwind soulstress Ruthie Scott and the piano wizardry of James Wood. Raised on a steady
diet of classic RnB and jazz standards Ruth's songs evoke visions of smokey basement clubs in the 1950's where beatniks and jazzheads would party. Late Night Marauders present a unique blend of soul, R'n'B and boogie which is an irrepressible delight.
