lyrics

TIGHTFISTED
You're so mean, you'd cause a scene
If someone found a pound where you had just been
You don't flush the toilet when you've been for a pee
Use the milk from your cereal in your tea
Haggle for a deal in a charity shop
You'll always try to save money you'll never stop

Teabags are always used twice or more
Always shop at the discount store
Use the same poppy every year
And always try to drink someone else's beer

You're so tightfisted you never buy a round
Even when it's being insisted
So tightfisted any reason to open your wallet must be resisted
So tightfisted generosity is something that's never existed
So tightfisted you'll finish up bitter, lonely and twisted

Wetherspoons stopped sachets of ketchup 'cause of me
A fool and his money are soon parted is what I see
Saving money is my obsession
There's nothing better than a money-saving lesson

You're so tightfisted you never buy a round
Even when it's being insisted
So tightfisted any reason to open your wallet must be resisted
So tightfisted generosity is something that's never existed
So tightfisted you'll finish up bitter, lonely and twisted

You're so tight that you think it's all right
That money-saving expert is your favourite web site
Save electric charge your phone at work
Seem to think it's some kind of perk
Spend your time counting all your money.
Even Scrooge would find it funny

You're so tightfisted you never buy a round
Even when it's being insisted
So tightfisted any reason to open your wallet must be resisted
So tightfisted generosity is something that's never existed
So tightfisted you'll finish up bitter, lonely and twisted
So tighfisted, whoah, whoah (x8)

Verbal Warning Nottingham, UK

Still rocking crowds everywhere,

The last line-up of VW had lasted 10 years, before Lee and Ian decided they'd had enough

In the meantime, Paul and John recruited the new duo and put them through their paces for several months of sweaty rehearsals.
