The Ocuks - Sign On: Lyric writing task

[CliffyBiro]

After being subjected to the Kooks new single, Shine On, I think we should make our own version for all the jobless students out there.

The title of this track will be:

The Ocuks - Sign On

I've done the first bit to get the ball rolling but it's not great so feel free to change it.

Safety pins holding up the things
That you call clothes
About your hair, you needn't care,
You look like crap all the time.

Sign, sign, sign on
Yes
Why don't you sign, sign on

Let's make this BIG.


THIS IS BY NO MEANS AN ATTACK ON THOSE CLAIMING JOB SEEKERS BENEFITS

ITS JUST A BIT OF FUN SO LIGHTEN UP AND JOIN IN

 

[R.O.S.S.I]

Go away.

 

[SwishSpencor]

Why don't you take the cash that feeds you
Why don't you
Why don't you take the cash that feeds... you!

 

[aslco]

I'll happily help if as long as it aint based on the kooks single. I do like some of their stuff just not 'shine'

I do my own tunes also tbh...see:

[Wyrdo]

Go away.

Get a job.

 

[Lysander]

Safety pins holding up the things
GET A JOB
About your hair, you need to get a job,
You look like GET A JOB all the time.

Get a job Get a job Get a job
Yes
Why don't you Get a job Get a job Get a job you miserable wastrel

 

[Confused]

My friend's got a girlfriend man he hates that *****...


That's all about getting a job

 

[CliffyBiro]

Get a job.

That's the spirit.

My friend's got a girlfriend man he hates that *****...


That's all about getting a job

I had that on cassette when I was 8 I think.

 

[CliffyBiro]

Hows about this?

Safety pins holding up the things
That you call clothes
About your hair, you needn't care,
You look like crap all of the time.

Sign, sign, sign on
Yes
Why don't you sign, sign on

You went to school, pretended to be cool
But you can't read
I must admit, your lifes been pretty ****
But the dole can pull you through

Sign, sign, sign on
Yes
Why don't you sign, sign on
(Ha ha ha ha)
Sign, sign, sign on
Yes
Wont you sign, sign on

Because you're no fun

Why don't you take the cash that feeds you
Why don't you
Why don't you take the cash that feeds... you!

Sign, sign, sign on
Yes
Why don't you sign, sign on
(Ha ha ha ha)
Sign, sign, sign on
Yes
Wont you sign, sign on

Safety pins holding up the things
That you call clothes
About your hair, you needn't care,
You look like crap all of the time.

But the dole can pull you through

Doesn't quite seem to fit all the beats, but otherwise ok. I think we can make this more amusing though
