Chris’s songs over the last 20 years or more have been a reminder to find the comic absurdity in many aspects of our society and the campaigns to change it for the better. Reminding us that in being able to laugh at ourselves, we can then feel freer to experiment and enjoy a culture with more complex forms of expression being understood.
He’s gone from risking his own skin walking into dodgy far-right pubs to sing songs making fun of racism, to writing songs making light of the head spinning speed in the 90s in which someone could go from leafleting against fox hunting to being asked to help liberate beagles from a laboratory. He’s poked fun at the history of land ownership and past along tales of drug smugglers robbing their van back from the RUC.
Ideally when it’s fully finished it will contain illustrations, a finished bonus song fan tribute and more commentary from the Captain which I hope to glean from him at some point on a podcast or in conversation.
If you’d like to help illustrate or write the bonus fan tribute hit me up at theosladehome@gmail.com

lyrics
Put your hands up if you’ve drunk so much Buckfast, that when you tried getting out of a taxi, your feet stayed in the taxi and the rest of you went out of the taxi, and you went like that, and you were covered in a little bit of snot and gravel was in the snot.
Alright, so we all know what we’re dealing with here then.
One good thing about Buckfast, it gets you fucked fast.
One good thing about Buckfast, it gets you fucked fast.
Brewed by mugs, drunk by mugs, it gets you fucked fast.
One good thing about cider, it makes you lose your lighter.
One good thing about cider, it makes you lose your lighter.
It is made of apples and it sends you mental, oy, oy, oy.
One good thing about whiskey, it makes your life a bit more risky.
One good thing about whiskey, it makes your life a bit more risky.
One good thing about iron brew, it is made out of girders.
One good thing about iron brew, it is made out of girders.
It is made entirely out of iron girders.
One good thing about tenant souper, it comes in a nice blue can.
One good thing about tenant souper, it comes in a nice blue can.
And it’s always easy to find in the train station.
One good thing about train stations, they’re always full of cops.
One good thing about train stations, they’re always full of security guards.
And the security guards always think they’re hard.
One good thing about security guards… [shakes head].
One good thing about security guards… [shakes head].
One good thing about security guards… nothing, nothing, nothing, fuck all, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.
One good thing about Buckfast, it gets you fucked fast.
One good thing about Buckfast, it gets you fucked fast.
Brewed by mugs, drunk by mugs, it gets you fucked fast.
Right it’s chaz and dave bit time now, you know like rabbit, rabbit, rabbit, this is fuck fast, fuck fast. So everytime I say buckfast, you say fuckfast really fast, are we ready?
