Biography:
Stackridge are a West Country based group who were at the height of their success, such as it was, during the 1970s. Characterised by quirky humour and rhythmic, catchy, singalong tunes, the band gained a cult following which continues to this day.
Stackridge Lemon were formed in Bristol, UK from the remains of Griptyght Thynn by Andy Davis & Jim 'Crun' Walter during 1969. After initial experimentation and very lofty aims, the music began to arrive and the Lemon was dropped from the band's name.

E
You're my friend, I hear you say
But I can't see you anyway
Am
You keep that sack on your head all day
E
When you dance you never sweat
You do the hustle like a minuet
Am
You're the strangest thing on two legs that I've ever met
G7
But I don't want a primadonna in drag
E Am Am/G E F
And I can never imagine why you always keep on your boots and shoes
Dm7 G Am
You're a neat kid but you can't stand to lose
Am/G E F
You keep on your boots and shoes
Dm7 G
You're a sweet kid
E
You're losing weight to keep in trim
Your friends all wonder how you stay so slim
Am
But you forget about the state I'm in
E
Every day you count your gains
Amino acid pumping through your veins

You say you're liberated but you're in chains
