lyrics

Just A Minute Or Two

Another pair of feet go past me on the city street
And I’m sitting and I’m singing to the knees as they go by
I sing to shopping bags, to briefcases and black umbrellas
And every now and then someone will look me in the eye

But I won’t get on your case
If you don’t cross mine with silver
And between us anyway
I’m sure we’d agree gold would be better

I know … those shoes are made for walking … and
I know … there’s so much that you've got to
Do do do do do do …
Take one … look at this here glorious day … and
Come on … stay for just a minute or two

Do do do do do do …

Well you should hear the band
That’s rocking out inside my head
Maybe you might pick them up if you listen in real close
Bass is pumping and guitars are getting funky
I hope you catch a little of that rhythm before you go

I won’t get on your case
If you don’t cross mine with silver
But unfortunately
My EFTPOS machine is at the repairer

I know … those shoes are made for walking … and
I know … there’s so much that you've got to
Do do do do do do …
Take one … look at this here glorious day … and
Come on … stay for just a minute or two

It’s not just about the money
Although I never would reject any generosity
This is one way to connect the dots between us
Still trying to change the world one song at a time

So if I see your feet go past me on the city street
I’ll sit and I’ll sing to your knees as they go by
I sing to shopping bags, to briefcases and black umbrellas
And I won’t object if you look me in the eye

I won’t get on your case
If you don’t cross mine with silver
But seriously
Notes are okay if you fold them up small

I know … those shoes are made for walking … and
I know … there’s so much that you've got to
Do do do do do do …
Take one … look at this here glorious day … and
Come on … stay for just a minute or minute or
I know … those shoes are made for walking … and
I know … there’s so much that you've got to
Do do do do do do …
Take one … look at this here glorious day … and
Come on … stay for just a minute or two

Do do do do do do …

Fergus Maximus is that guy with his headphones on long after the playlist has finished, completely oblivious because there’s always music in his head anyway. Ferg's unapologetic pop songs encompass all the important things: love, loss, mistakes, surprises and people’s astonishing capacity to miscommunicate. In these songs and stories you'll find some extraordinary snapshots from an ordinary life. ... more
