Story Behind the Song
You should never count your chickens 'till they're hatched. I escaped injury in a motorcycle accident which should have wiped me out and this song was the result!!
I wrote this one in 10 minutes and recorded it in a day and a half.
Lyrics
Never Count Your Chickens 'Till Theyr'e Hatched.
Somewhere for you?
Somewhere for me?
In the whole of this creation where nothin' is free
Someplace to go?
Someplace to stay?
In this world of rejection, we gonna find it one day.
Well, you know I left the barn door on the latch,
And I never count my chickens 'till their hatched.
Do you want to be free?
Do you want to have fun?
Why don't you come round to my place and get laid in the sun.
You gotta kick out the Jams,
You gotta find a new way,
Or you will find today is just tomorrow's yesterday.
But I know there's lotsa villains on my patch,
So I never count my chickens 'till their hatched.
You know I've been to the north,
I've been to the south,
And I met some good people, I got a punch in the mouth.
Well, I tell you, my friend,
That your dreams won't come true,
When there's snakes in the bedroom
And birds in the flue
Well, you know I always knew there was a catch,
So I never count my chickens 'till their hatched.
Well, I listened to the record and it's scratched,
So I never count my chickens 'till their hatched.
