It's All Cool

Follow-up to The Steve Pretty Benefit Gig from Being the (Mis)Adventures of Mr Bear

I saw Steve Pretty today in the Union (hurrah for me!)
and it made me think of a certain song performed by the wonder that is The Equal Opportunities Working Group, about a certain ex sabb.
So here are the lyrics for you all to enjoy:

Steve's the man, the trumpet man, always got the horn,
He's been coming late to things from the day that he was born.
The vicar's standing at the font, awaiting Steve our man,
Soon he gets a phone call saying "I'll be there when I can."

It's all cool, it's ok, I'll be there shortly mate,
I'm halfway up a mountain and I'll be a little late.

His band play funky jazzy stuff, the people lap it up,
Or at least they like to do provided he turns up.
The groovy rhythms he must play for him are no big feat,
It's natural for him to play a bit behind the beat.

It's all cool, it's ok, I'll be there shortly mate,
I'm on a North Sea oil rig, I'll be a little late.

Steve-o likes to rock n' roll, he likes to have a laugh,
He likes to turn up to things in the second half.
We hope he's not too far away, he says he won't be long,
He's only got a minute until we end this song.

It's all cool, it's ok, I'll be there shortly mate,
I'm in prison in Ecuador, I'll be a little late.
Steve's all cool, Steve's ok, we won't have long to wait,
He's somewhere in India, he'll be a little late.
