Badger's Song Lyrics

We met you at the winter gardens 78 or 9

Can't remember who was playing , can't recall the time

Just spotty kids with aspirations, dreams of what might be

You looked so cool with spiked black hair, pink trousers PVC

We had drums, guitars and amps though cheap they were ok

You turned up with a microphone and a 50 watt PA

We practiced at the scout hut on a Sunday afternoon

We tried to hit the right notes while you tried to sing in tune

We practiced hard eventually we started sounding right

The gigs sold out and we got signed the future looked so bright

We trod the boards on stages that our heroes did before

Then things began to fall apart our dreams went out the door

Fast forward nearly 40 years and we're on the road again

One last hoorah let's show them punks how good we were back then

Then tragically denied your moment sad for all to see

You never got back centre stage where you were meant to be

The gap you leave is cavernous for those you left behind

You live on in our memories, unique, one of a kind

Tragically denied your moment sad for all to see

You never got back centre stage where you were meant to be

So here's to you our comrade your legacy won't end

Our singer front man lyricist but most of all our friend

Our singer front man lyricist but most of all our friend
