She can't make love, but makes great potato

Ah, the mighty Sack Trick - that headline's taken from the song Microwave Sweetheart - the album Penguins on the Moon. Why have only about ten people heard of them?

Here are the lyrics from their classic I Play Bass:

I can’t get a job cause I can’t get out of bed.
I can’t go to college cause I’ve nothing in my head.
I can’t play drums and I can’t really sing

I’ve tried to play guitar but it’s got far too many strings
I’ll play bass

It’s got four strings; I only use two.
I’ve never worked out what the others do. I play bass

I’m happy here just strumming along
But I’m still not sure how to play this song

I play bass
Here we are in another verse
The first was bad this can’t be worse

I play bass
Still don’t know quite why I’m here
Never mind, I’ll get another beer
I play bass

NOW WE COME TO THAT PART OF THE SONG
THAT ALWAYS SEEMS TO GO ON FOR SO LONG
WE DON’T MIND IF YOU WANT TO NOD OFF
COS THE BASS PLAYER’S ABOUT TO SHOW OFF. GO

So if you can’t...And if you can’t...GO PLAY BASS

Even the drummer’s doin’ it!


Okay, so it's a lot better with the actual music.
