Stand By Your Van
Lyrics: Scott Doonican

Sometimes it's hard to start in winter
It's done a hundred thousand miles
The accelerator and alternator
Have both been dodgy for a while
The engine packed up on the M1
Near Junction 30, southward bound
I rang the AA, answered a survey
And got these words of wisdom from the man:

"Stand by your van
And leave your hazards blinking
And wrap up warm because it's colder than a reindeer's goolies"
I'm not a fan
Of watching cars rush past me
Wishing I had a back-up plan
Instead of my crap van

The AA man
Just left me chuffing ages
I caused a massive traffic jam...
With my shit van

Great album. Almost a blend of Old Style and New Style Gaz. Delighted to have seen him perform two of the tracks live at Glastonbury. His performance was better than ever, and the songs are right up there with his best. matsan66

Gaz, having finally got this in the CD player, what an absolute stunner of an album, a glorious document of the hardest year in history, emotions, tears, mass singalongs, “The Old Normal”, one of my absolute key songs of last year and, topping them all, “Rule”, Gaz does full tilt screaming metal and it’s f’ing glorious!
