Want to ride the highway? I’ll take you any place you want to go (X2) There is one thing to remember, you’ve got to drive me real slow. When I’m cold in the morning, and if I’m cold at night, (x2) Just turn your heater on and everything will be alright Ain’t no need pushing, that will never do, (x2) Ease me into gear, and I will come back home to you. Turn me over baby, you got to turn me on (x2) Suck squeeze baby, bang blow all day long

All you need 02:42
All you need is your lover in your arms All you need is your lover in your arms There is nothing I can do; there is nothing I can say All you need is your lover in your arms You could see the village doctor You could see the holy pope You could see the Dali Lama But they wouldn’t have a hope There is nothing they can do There is nothing they can say All you need is your lover in our arms You could go and see a dealer And eat up all his pills Get yourself real high But it will not cure your ills There is nothing we can give you There is nothing you can take All you need is your lover in your arms You could borrow someone’s money You could place it on a bet You could win a million Euro’s It could pay of all your debts There’s nothing you can win There’s no nothing you can save All you need is your lover in your arms

Even the blind could see, what you mean to me Whose been telling you, the things I’m meant to do Lies travel faster, lies travel faster than the truth I didn’t know her name. I’m not the one to blame. I wouldn’t do you wrong. And we can get along. Lies travel faster, lies travel faster than the truth Liars are worse than thieves. You know you must believe. I’m not a perfect man. I need a second chance. Lies travel faster, lies travel faster than the truth My heart is bankrupt babe. I gave it all away Check the evening news. There’s no peace without the truth Lies travel faster, lies travel faster than the truth Lies travel faster, lies travel faster than the truth Lies travel faster, lies travel faster than the truth Lies travel faster, lies travel faster than the truth October 2013 (c) (p) Jonathan Townsend

I could’ve been a singer, in a big blues band If I hadn’t met my baby, if she hadn’t took my hand A woman this good, is sure hard to find If I hadn’t found my baby, I would’ve lost my mind When she wakes in the morning, with a smile on her face I can tell be her look… I love my woman like a car loves to cruise A woman this good, is too good to lose But she’s no motor, she don’t need no oil ‘cos the juice she is using, just won’t let me stall When she wakes in the morning, with a smile on her face I can tell be her look… I would walk to Texas, just to see my baby smile, But I’m a lucky man, don’t have to walk a mile She is lying there beside me, when the sun comes up, As I am drinking coffee, from my favourite cup When she wakes in the morning, with a smile on her face I can tell be her look… October 2002 (c) (p) Jonathan Townsend

If I don’t love you, I’m going to leave you, these are the words you’re gonna say (x2) If I don’t love you I’m gonna leave you, one cold and lonesome day Don’t you think that I don’t think, don’t you think that I don’t care Don’t think that you are lonesome, when there is nobody there If I don’t love you, I’m gonna leave you, these are the very words I dread (x2) If I don’t love you, I’m gonna leave you, these are the very words she said Bye bye baby, bye bye baby so long October 2012 (c) (p) Jonathan Townsend

Live life and take the consequences, Live life and have your fun Live life and take the consequences, Live life, until your day is done Cheat on your friends and neighbours When you think you wont get caught Take time and think what you are doing or you will end up in nobody’s thoughts You lied when your tongue didn’t need to Don’t know why you say what you do You know you’re gonna be found out And we will all be laughing at you. Did you waste the gifts you were given? Took your time when you could have run Did the weed stop you thinking When you thought what you could have done Did you think of those that loved you? When you did the things that you did Wouldn’t care who tried to help you Are you gambling with more that you think? 2013 (c) (p) Jonathan Townsend

Now I ain't gonna love you, like a good man could And I ain't gonna treat you like I know I should You are looking for me, but I can't be found I'm out over yonder, messing around I won't come back when you call me I won't sit when you tell me to I’m always looking around for somebody new Well, you want loyalty...buy a dog! Now you say baby, come on home But I won't come home, if you throw me a bone I'll come home when I want to play Ask me to heel, I’m running away I won't come back when you call me, I won't sit when you tell me to I’m always looking around for somebody new Well, if you want loyalty...buy a dog! Resting in the sun, stretching out I may be home tonight, but I may be out You got something that I want, but nothing that I need You tell me to stay, I'll go as I please I won't come home when you want me I won't sit when you tell me to I’m always looking around for somebody new If you want loyalty...buy a dog! Looking at the birds that pass me by Chasing after things that catch my eye I don’t have much, sort of a plan I'm off hunting, bring home what I can But I won't come home when you call me, I won't sit when you tell me to I’m always looking around for somebody new Well, if you want loyalty...buy a dog! Well, if you want loyalty...buy a dog! Well, if you want loyalty...buy a dog! Well, if you want loyalty...buy a dog! July 2012 (c) (p) The King Biscuit Boys

about

All in a days work... was recorded in a church hall in Bletchley, Milton Keynes on 26th August 2014 by The King Biscuit Boys with the help of Gwyn Ashton.
Craig and Jonathan feel as though the dynamics and energy can be lost through over dubbing and trying to make it too slick. Furthermore, they wanted to show people what they were like if they wanted to book, or come to see The King Biscuit Boys playing live. Gwyn thought it would not be a problem.
Gwyn brought with him several bits of kit including a Prototype stereo ribbon mic handmade by Stephen Sank in Arizona. An AEA RPQ ribbon mic preamp and a Roger Mayer Stereo 456 2" tape emulator into Logic Pro into MacBook Pro 17" and a RME Fireface 800. This is what all three thought sounded the best.
Although many bands do not take songs on the road before they record them. Jonathan and Craig wanted the songs to have evolved through practice and live shows before recording them. The plan was to record each song 3 or 4 times and then pick the best. In the end they were happy with most on the first or second takes.
Each of the songs was recorded as live with no overdubs.
It was like a modern field trip recording. We think of this as Country Blues for today
