about

A song dedicated to the humble book. They don't need charging up, how advantageous.

lyrics

I’m a book left on the shelf, behind photos of your family
I’ve gathered dust since you were twelve, a relic of antiquity
Pressed against my hard back, is Delia’s Complete Cookery Course She gets action once a year, that’s one more than me I’m as good as lost

I know I haven’t got your attention, you’ve gone digital
You prefer that plastic affectation, you’ve no use for me at all

Readers of today don’t want to thumb through pages
They just swipe greasy fingers on screens for ages for ages
Ebook readers are smooth and firm but they are spineless
I’ll never need charging up like them, how advantageous

I’m one of many, yellowing at a glacial pace
Pick me up once in a while, admire my filigree face
Feel my meaty tome, the heft in the hand is pleasing
So timeless don’t you agree, perfect papery pedigree
If we are over, put me the box with charity label
I’ll be loved again, and make a quid for the disabled

Readers of today don’t want to thumb through pages
They just swipe greasy fingers on screens for ages for ages
Ebook readers are smooth and firm but they are spineless
I’ll never need charging up like them, how advantageous

I got a lot of books upon my old book shelf
I find them quite conducive to my mental health
There's some National Geographics that are gathering dust
and a big old Thomas Hardy omnibus
I never really read them though I must confess
Just like to have them on display for intellectual flex
You can thumb through the pages if you come to my house
You'll find them on the shelf behind the Famous Grouse

Readers of today don’t want to thumb through pages
They just swipe greasy fingers on screens for ages for ages
Ebook readers are smooth and firm but they are spineless
I’ll never need charging up like them, how advantageous

Jaymotts Cambridge, UK

The Cambridge boys released their debut album! It's called Jamboree and it's packed with amusing funk rock ditties to getting you smiling and tapping your toes.

Expect the unexpected at the Jamboree!

"Jaymotts bring to mind Flight of the Conchords, with the funk of Talking Heads and the oddity of The B52s, all very refreshing!" ... more
