USEFUL TROUBLE
NEW YORK CITY 1923
THE LITERATI FELL AT THE FEET OF DOROTHY
SHE WAS A FINE WOMAN WITH A MIND LIKE A RAZOR
EVERYBODY SHOUT IT OUT LOUD
HERE COMES TROUBLE – USEFUL TROUBLE
ALABAMA 1955
ROSA DIDN’T LISTEN TO NO DRIVER
SHE WAS A GREAT WOMAN
WITH A LIBERATOR’S HEART
EVERYBODY SHOUT IT OUT LOUD
HERE COMES TROUBLE – USEFUL TROUBLE
‘JESUS DIED’ SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY
BUT PATTI’S STILL THE QUEEN OF ALL SHE SURVEYS
SHE’S A COOL WOMAN IN A DUOSONIC WORLD
EVERYBODY SHOUT IT OUT LOUD
HERE COMES TROUBLE – USEFUL TROUBLE

THE GREATEST SINGER
I’M NO GOOD AT SINGING OPERA
OR TUNES FROM BROADWAY SHOWS
I CAN’T SING LIKE KIRI – I’M JUST A USELESS ALFIE BOE
I GOT NO VOICE FOR BUTTERFLY OR ANY OTHER GIRL
BUT EVERY TIME I SING A SONG ABOUT YOU
I’M THE GREATEST SINGER IN THE WORLD
MAN, I CAN’T SING ANARCHY OR SEVENTIES DISCO
I CAN’T SING NO COUNTRY
OR BLUE SUEDE ROCK’N’ROLL
I CAN’T SING SINATRA BOYS
NO ONE SHOULD EVEN TRY
BUT EVERY TIME I SING A SONG ABOUT YOU
I’M THE GREATEST SINGER ALIVE
I WILL SING FOR YOU MY SWEET
‘TIL THE LAST BARS OF THE WORLD
I WILL BE YOUR GREATEST SINGER
YOU’RE MY GREATEST GIRL
I DON’T WANT TO SING FOR KINGS AND QUEENS
JUST FOOTBALL LOVING GIRLS
AND I’LL KEEP ON SINGING SONGS ABOUT YOU
AND BE THE GREATEST SINGER IN THE WORLD

Cynical Tendencies
A nice man on the phone said he'd make me lots of cash
If I invested in his scheme, give it a bash
The more that I put in, the more I would make
But I told him where to go I wouldn't raise the stake
Cynical tendencies, Cynical tendencies
No I don't believe nothing or trust no-one, I got cynical tendencies
She told me that she loved me and she wanted to move in
After three weeks going out but I wasn't convinced
She hated her job and her rent was overdue
So I told her where to go, I'm no fool
Cynical tendencies, Cynical tendencies
No I don't believe nothing or trust no-one, I got cynical tendencies
Cynical tendencies
If it seems to good to be true then it probably is
You might as well forget it and not take the risk
It's like playing the lottery it’s the bitterest pill
Gotta be in it to win it but you never will
Cynical tendencies, Cynical tendencies
No I don't believe nothing or trust no-one, I got cynical tendencies
Cynical tendencies, Cynical tendencies
I don't believe nothing or trust no-one, I got cynical tendencies
I don't believe nothing or trust no-one
I got cynical tendencies
I don't believe nothing or trust no-one
I got cynical eight, cynical nine, cynical tendencies

BAD LUCK LOVE TROUBLE
I’M THE CLOWN – WHO ALWAYS LEAVES TOWN
THE DAY BEFORE MY SHIP COMES IN
AND WHEN I CALL MY BABY ON THE PHONE
SHE JUST LETS IT RING AND RING AND RING
IS THERE GOLD AT THE END OF THIS RAINBOW?
OR JUST A POT OF DISAPPOINTMENT
AM I A SAINT IN A SUIT WITH A HALO?
OR A BEGGAR ON THE STREET – FOREVER HELL BENT
ALL I EVER GET – IS BAD LUCK LOVE TROUBLE
I’M THE MAN - WHO ALWAYS HAS A PLAN
‘TIL EVERYBODY SHITS ON ME
AND WHEN I TELL MY BABY I LOVE HER
SHE JUST SAYS SHA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LEE
IS THERE GOLD?
ALL I EVER GET…
BAD LUCK – IF IT WASN’T FOR BAD LUCK
I WOULDN’T HAVE NO LUCK AT ALL

The Ladykillers Plymouth, UK
Taking their name from the 1950s Ealing comedy film, the ironically named Ladykillers don't take themselves too seriously when they play their mix of originals and covers.
