I drop anchor, I settle in
Get on my bike and I'm back again
Christmas lights on a bamboo tree
I didn't even know it was Christmas Eve
I don't want turkey and ginger ale
I tak a rum punch and a lobster tail
Rice and beans, the island queen
The best damn Christmas I ever seen
Nicholas, Nicholas, tell me,
have you been a dread from ever since
Step light, you better act right
Don't let the judge lock you up tonight
Don't let the judge lock you up tonight
Ooh
Wish Willy, oh Wish Willy
Cookin' up a storm by the sunset sea
Wish Willy, I wish I was Willy
Make sure you say to hi to Willy for me
Hey!
I got some good friends and a bad guitar
I got a case of beer on my handlebars
I heard the countdown out in the streets
I didn't even know it was New Year's Eve (Here we go)
I pass Sid's hear the chicken fry
I pass the Duchy on the left hand side
I'm at the Split with Marie Sharp
She's burnin' me up, she's breaking my heart
Oh, Norman, Norman,
I hear you got a boat and an engine
Step light, throw your nets right
Don't let the judge lock you up tonight
Don't let the judge lock you up tonight
Wish Willy, oh Wish Willy
Cookin' up a storm by the sunset key
Wish Willy, I wish I was Willy
Make sure you say to hi to Willy for me
Hey!
Wish Willy, oh Wish Willy
Cookin' up a storm by the sunset sea
Wish Willy, I wish I was Willy
Make sure you say to hi to Willy for...
Wish Willy, oh Wish Willy
Cookin' up a storm by the sunset caye
Wish Willy, I wish I was Willy
Make sure you say to hi to Willy for me

As a lifelong fan of psyche, I was delighted to have found this, stunned that I'd missed them for three decades and devastated by the news of Dallas' passing. Makes many of the album's lyrics even more poignant. I hear echoes of the Chocolate Watch Band, Long Ryders and both the pop and country sides of the Byrds. Stunning, and a contender for my album of the year. Iain H
Normally a concept rock album about dogs shouldn't work. It couldn't possibly work.
This one does.
Brilliant writing, beautiful music. Matt's emotion and feelings shine through on tracks like Talking to the Sky and I Wanna Be Your Dog.
I mean, it is about dogs, right? Isn't it? Or is it... rob.cee
I feel like a dork for just now (May 2021) stumbling on this alternate version of GOODBYE Blue Monday. If it's half as good as the original, it'll still be twice as good as most of the other music out there. sandymanthemusicfan
