No-one knows quite what I’ve been through I wish I could tell you through the medium of song and sing that song to you My spots are showing, my hair is growing It’s almost past my eyes My voice has deepened And I’ve been sleeping in a lot more My parents are saying ‘aye aye aye He is a teen’ what does that mean? Have I caught a disease or got an infected spleen? I’ve been wearing tracksuit bottoms and hanging round the bus station With a couple of chavs who, I fear, have a bad reputation What can I do to cure this disease? Maybe all I need is some TLC Cause no one seems to see how bad it is for me They say that I’m just a teenage dirtbag baby And I am playing the ukulele I’m just a teenage dirtbag baby like you You don’t know who I am And you don’t give a damn about me

Oooohooo ooohhooohohohoho When I look at you They say I’ll get square eyes, but that’s not true ‘cause all I ever do is star at you I have a thousand friends but no social life thanks to you Your face(book) Is as beautiful as a thousand duckfaced selfies that I took The time to give a like The way I fell Cannot be said in words so instead I reveal My emojis, hashtags and I’ll tag you in a picture that I took Pixelated lovers (I get square eyes when I look at you) Pixelated lovers (I get square eyes, I get square eyes) We’ve never touched, we’ve never met, I don’t know your real name Weve only liked, weve only shared and I know your username Off by heart, when we’re apart it’s because I’m charging you Pixelated lovers ( I get square eyes when I look at you) (x3) I’ll tag you in a picture that I took

Jezza C, you always wear tweed Jezza C, you’ve got a prick-ly white beard In terms of British politics, youre the one that I would pick If I was old enough to vote For Jezza C When I went to school they said ‘if you want to go far You have to dress up smart oh you have to look the part’ But since I took one look at you, I decided it’s clearly not true Jezza C, we love you (solo) Well if you moved in to number 10 you’d turn it into a co-op Eating baked beans with your cat and everyday you’d show up To work on train, never again would we see a private helicopter Jezza C, you’re the man for me Ooh Jezza C will you marry me? I know you’re not gay and I know you’ve got kids And I know you’ve got a wife and I know where you live but Jezza C will you marry me? Well you might be a Russian spy and you might be a member of the IRA But I know that youre not a nazi And youre better looking than Theresa May Oh well we’d be harassed by the mainstream media But they’d put it on your Wikipedia page, we’d never age Cause this a proposal through a song And Jezza C, please don’t get me wrong If I’m rejected, I still hope that you’re elected but Jezza C will you marry me? Cause Jezza C you were made for me

about

This is a nine-track disc with songs of political and social statements, some arguably of more importance in the world than others. Nonetheless, these songs dip into my personality, views, thought process and general way of life. I like to think of it as a brief synopsis of my persona. The majority of songs on the album serve a humorous purpose to act as a form of subtle activism. With my style of comedy, it is essential to listen carefully to each word and lyric, and thus doing so you are not only taking in all the gags and catches, but you are simultaneously being seduced and subliminally fed left-wing propaganda. This is how I hope to convert Britain’s politics entirely, through the use of a ukulele, an electric kazoo and a whole lot of synthesised instruments on a cheap Casio keyboard.
The project was self-funded and took around four months to record, mix and master at Robinwood Studios, Cornholme. I was the only musician working on the album, partly to save on time and costs but also so I could really understand each part of the music and recording experience. Most tracks consisted of layering different tones from keyboards and pedals to achieve the wanted effect, as well as the mandatory one of three ukuleles (an electro-acoustic, an electric and a banjolele).
The cover of the album is the result of just under a day’s worth of photo’s, by Nic Chapman, out and around Hebden Bridge. The front of the album depicts a picket of only myself, which reflects my heart-wrenching struggle both as an artist and an activist to get my views heard by the masses. It is in no way supposed to highlight any form of multiple personality disorder. The back of the album shows me proposing to Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. No explanation needed there.
