Stereophonics – More Life in a Tramp’s Vest

I came across this tune many years ago during my previous life as an avid skateboarder.  This Stereophonics song was the intro music to PJ Ladd’s Wonderful Horrible Life.  If there are any skateboarders reading this post who have not seen this film, please check it out.  This film launched the careers of PJ Ladd, Jereme Rodgers, and Ryan Gallant.  Skateboarding aside, this song was the second single used to promote the Stereophonics’ first studio album Word Gets AroundWord Gets Around reviews.  Enjoy.

I get camping eyes in the final hour
Last minute shoppers picking cauliflower
The fuss they make, you’d swear they were buying a car
They always moan, moan it’s not so cheap
Cheaper still, cheaper still down the street
Lose my rag and tell them take your bag and shop down there
Closing down, they’re closing down another road
One way, system steals the show
Mac the knife swigs a can and sings the day away

There’s more life, more life, more life in a tramp’s vest
There’s more life, more life, more life in a tramp’s vest

The flower man sits down in the street
Surrounded by, the stock he bought last week
Bring back the ladies wearing lipstick on their teeth
Make up, we make up a crappy joke
Sit back, relax and have a smoke
Mac the knife swigs a can and sings the day away

There’s more life, more life, more life in a tramp’s vest
There’s more life, more life, more life in a tramp’s vest
There’s more life, more life, more life in a tramp’s vest
There’s more life, more life, more life in a tramp’s vest

I get camping eyes in the final hour
Last minute shoppers picking cauliflower
Mac the knife swigs a can and sings the day away

There’s more life, more life, more life in a tramp’s vest
There’s more life, more life, more life in a tramp’s vest
There’s more life, more life, more life in a tramp’s vest
There’s more life, more life, more life in a tramp’s vest
