Skip The Budgie

Simply put, this song is about robbing a bank. Stuart wrote the words, we all wrote the music...

Lyrics

Well I looked at you and you said ‘let’s do it’
And we walked into the bank
I knew as soon as you pulled the gun
it was a bad idea, a stupid plan...

‘Pay Up’, as you pointed the pistol,
I turned to ice inside,
The cashier started loading the gear
and someone started to cry...

('chorus')
Shit happens

The cash was in the bag
but I still had nagging doubts
We backed towards the door
never saw the man whose gun was out

One shout, two shots and a stagger
I didn’t see him fall You pulled, I pushed and we both panicked
then we were out the door

Shit Happens

(middle '8')
Of course the men outside were on to us,
They had cars and gas and guns
So fast we never had a chance,
we were fugitives wanted on the run.
Misunderstood what they were shouting,
One trigger-happy cop turned around,
Although in slow motion, I saw you drop.

Shit happens...
