Biography:
Few artists begin their career with the rollercoaster ride Ruarri Joseph found himself on. Three years ago, the singer/songwriter was playing in pubs in his native Newquay, partly for fun, partly to supplement his income from a succession of dreary day jobs. Then in late 2006, he unexpectedly landed a deal with a major label and, just six months later, the demos he had recorded at home became the basis of his acclaimed, debut album, Tales Of Grime And Grit.

Verse:
C G7
That picture that you drew of me, I want to get it framed,
F C
Or stick it to the fridge with magnets, that spell out your name.
G7
My eyes aren't green, my hair's not black, I only have two hands.
F C
My head is on my shoulders, and my feet aren't made of sand.
Chorus:
Dm G
But I'll tell you what, it's more like me,
Dm G G7
Than any... thing I've seen.
Verse:
C G7
If toys could talk, I bet they'd say, they'd never felt so loved,
F C
The cars with chrome, the bears with bows, forever kissed and hugged.
C G7
And I love the way you eat your treats, you save the best till last.
F C
You ponder to enjoy your chocolates, and never go too fast.
Chorus:
Dm G
And I'll tell you what, I think it's true.
Dm G G7 F
Us grown-ups, should be like you.
F G C
And think our actions through, and see the world like you do.
