Sometimes I struggle, sometimes I'm perplexed over what choice to choose or what to choose next, I'm vexed and expect an easy option to present itself but when it doesnt I try to find help, How to make a decision and how to select the right path to follow or opinion to reject I'm tempted to follow a popular sway but I've discovered there's a far better way, A way to select, a way to decide whether I should run, or whether I should hide, Do I take the right turn like Clyde or do I stay left like I'm on Wolfie Smith's side? But I'm not Harvey Dent with a coin to flip or Chris Tarrant with a 50 / 50 split, I'm not a referee with instant replay - Nah, there's a far better way... Rock Paper Scissors - If you cant make a decision Rock Paper Scissors - If you struggle with the strength of your convictions There's an easy game to play, to work out what to do every day Rock Paper Scissors - is the way Trying to find the right topping for a Pizza? Thinking of whether to listen to the teacher? Naming a child Percival or Peter? Your hands decide what's meant to be A fist for a stone like Jagger in his hey day, Flat of a hand like when your mum says "Wait", fingers like Churchill sideways in victory, it's as easy as 1-2-3 Am I getting married? Do I have more cake? Do I buy a new car or a rattlesnake? Do I stay up late? Have another drink? This way stops you having to think Politicians and presidents elect, you don't need to worry and you dont to fret, If your policies seem shaky at best you can always rely on RPS Rock Paper Scissors - If you cant make a decision Rock Paper Scissors - If you struggle with the strength of your convictions There's an easy game to play, to work out what to do every day Rock Paper Scissors - is the way Getting a doughnut or a sausage roll? Rock Paper Scissors Getting a job or signing on the dole? Rock Paper Scissors Want to make a bet but you're still having doubts? Rock Paper Scissors Vladimir Putin's asked you out? Rock Paper Scissors Sugar or none in my cup of tea? Rock Paper Scissors Wanting to watch BBC Three? Rock Paper Scissors Going to work or phoning in sick? Rock Paper Scissors Thinking of voting for UKIP?........ Rock Paper Scissors - If you cant make a decision Rock Paper Scissors - If you struggle with the strength of your convictions There's an easy game to play, to work out what to do every day Rock Paper Scissors - is the way

I’m a “44” you’re just a “22” I can’t believe I’m wasting time battling you Coz when it comes to competition I cannot be stopped or blocked it’s like I’m rocking a glock You’ve not got a hope of beating me, that’s why I come strong with the heavy artillery I’ve got the weapons I reckon are gonna deaden you, you’re heading into a danger zone you’re stepping through I stand strong – reject my foes, I’m not gonna back down – stand toe to toe Slip on my game face, own the space, I break pace to take praise I’m up with the greats You can’t beat me, you haven’t got a hope, I take this serious, you’re a joke You see me laughing? That’s coz you’ve got nothing... Check the end of my string I an’t bluffing! BANG! Here comes the conker hitting hard, This is a battleground, this ain’t a schoolyard BANG BANG! See the conker fall, you got a tiny Nut I got a wrecking ball! BANG! Here comes the conker hitting hard, This is a battleground, this ain’t a schoolyard BANG BANG! See the conker crack, mine’s the champ – I keep it in a Nutsack Soak em in vinegar, Bake them in the oven, Varnishing the shell, you’re trying to discover The secret – how do you get the perfect nut? What do I do to make my conker not erupt It’s simple, just keep it like a science, experiment with size and shape, theory & appliance Head down to the park or your local Rec, with a great big stick & start to inspect The nuts that bunch as leaves start to fall, find the biggest on the branch of the “Chestnut de la Horse” Then chuck your stick at it, grab quickly as it lands, But not too tight – you don’t want to prick your hands Time to test it out, hold the thread tight, Set your opposition, get your target in your sights Then swing in hard like a dodgem round a bend, But if it shatters, you Gots to start again! BANG! Here comes the conker hitting hard, This is a battleground, this ain’t a schoolyard BANG BANG! See yours crash land, I got your conkers in the palm of my hand BANG! Here comes the conker hitting hard, This is a battleground, this ain’t a schoolyard BANG BANG! See me swing in rough – Tell me how it feels when your nuts get crushed! I beat the first Stone Cold like a stunner, I go to twos and double up my One’er Take on a sixer, BANG that’s a winner..... Not bad for a beginner Next the challenge from a Tenner’s at the mark, I smash him up like Jim the Anvil Neidhart Eighteen’s my score and I’m yelling “Who’s Next?!” Heart in my mouth as the Top Boy steps He’s got a 26er on his cord, My hand starts to shake as the crowd starts to roar He takes a swing, we tangle up strings, the I take aim – FIRE & see his nut cracking One more shot, I reckon his’ll break, He misses mine and the frown shows his mistake I take my chance and smash him once more I’m the champ and his nuts are all over the floor!!... BANG! Here comes the conker hitting hard, This is a battleground, this ain’t a schoolyard BANG BANG! See the conker fall, you got a tiny Nut I got a wrecking ball! BANG! Here comes the conker hitting hard, This is a battleground, this ain’t a schoolyard BANG BANG! See the conker crack, mine’s the champ – I keep it in a Nutsack

I first saw you on my TV, strangest haircut that I’d ever seen Like Candyfloss cut by a barber, more logic defying than Carlos Valderrama’s So tell me America, how can you trust a man if you can’t trust his word How can you relate to a guy who says he’s honest but his hairline’s that absurd. Oh Mr Trump what’s that on top of your head? I think I saw it moving, are you sure that it’s dead? You seem to have attracted some kind of cat and it’s asleep on top of your noggin.. You sit at your desk on your show, and pick on D Listers that no one knows They take your flack and ignore your flannel, but no one seems to mention on your head there’s a mammal You can’t be trusted cos you wear a wig, so come on America it’s time to really think, Do you want a man with his finger on the button who looks like he’s got a dead fox for a quiff Oh Mr Trump what’s that on top of your head? I think I saw it moving, are you sure that it’s dead? You seem to have attracted some kind of cat and it’s asleep on top of your noggin.. You say that Muslims are all terrorists, and Mexicans should be kicked out, You’ve offended almost everyone you’ve met, bulldozing your way to the White House They say never trust a man with a beard cos it’s hiding something from your face So how can the land of the free and the brave elect a bloke who looks like his hair came from outer space? Oh Mr Trump what’s that on top of your head? I think I saw it moving, are you sure that it’s dead? You seem to have attracted some kind of cat and it’s asleep on top of your noggin..

I need a Cuppa, I need a cuppa nightly That’s what my Grandpa said kept him sprightly I need a cuppa, any cuppa’ll do PG, Tetley or even Typhoo But don’t try to give me that Dahjeeling I don’t find it particularly appealing I just want to keep it quite simplistic And top it off with a nice Choccy Biscuit Do you want some? Tell me do you want some? Do you want some? Tell me do you want some? Do you want some? Tell me do you want some? Do you want a cuppa too? Hands Up if you fancy a Cuppa Hands Up if you fancy a Cuppa Hands Up if you fancy a Cuppa Hands Up if you fancy a Brew Hands Up if you fancy a Cuppa Hands Up if you fancy a Cuppa Hands Up if you fancy a Cuppa One lump or Two?! Throw in the bag, add water and stir Stick in the milk and some sugar if you prefer We all have our own ways to take it But the Jury’s still out over the best way to make it Like Rakim it’s the greatest of all time Toffee coloured nectar now immortalised in rhyme Hip hop with a cuppa’s what I love the most... But don’t forget to use a coaster! BRIDGE I need a cuppa, cuppa, cuppa that’s what I need And if I stick on that kettle won’t you make a cuppa for me

I envy all your bedsheets, your pillows & duvet too, At night you lie in comfort and sleep the whole night through I’d love to know your secret to staying so serene When all around you crumbles down, you mix with aristocracy Your days are bright and glorious, positivity’s a must And thoughts of impropriety are brushed away like dust You have the airs & graces to dismiss the critics whole But decisions made just tell the tale, your careers a huge own goal So here’s to you Sepp Blatter, can’t believe your conscience is clear You’ve been the head of Football for about a thousand years So here’s to you Sepp Blatter, to me it seems absurd That you’re the best man to run FIFA out of everyone in the world! Luis Figo would be better or Platini at a push Robbie Savage might make more sense, but then again my Goldfish would Qatar’s simply delightful in July or June But now it seems you’ve changed your mind, we’ll be chanting Christmas tunes Every TV & radio station, Internet & Papers too Have proclaimed the lack of sense for the World Cup in 2022 But still you have the top spot, a position you’ll retain Despite the fact that stadium workers are dying every day So here’s to you Sepp Blatter, can’t believe you’re still around You’ve less popular than El Hadji Djiouff, that’s something well profound So here’s to you Sepp Blatter, you crooked FIFA disgrace It’s a shame I’ll never meet you, I’d like to punch you in your face!
