He is well known for his self-deprecating and honest songwriting, which openly deals with the topics of politics, drugs and love. He has six studios albums and has traditionally released a new record each year on his birthday, 1 December.

Capo 2
Verse (single strum)
G C
I used to play in a grunge band when I was seventeen
D G
I had a Fender Mustang and a pair of ripped up jeans
We used to play the army and navy we did shit loads of gigs
We got a bit of a following back in sunny old Essex
Well it wasnt quite Seattle but we thought that it was cool
And I had a fucking great time throwing my guitar against a wall
Yeah I loved Nirvana in 1995
It had been about a year or so since Kurt Cobain had died
But history repeats itself and fashions turn around
And they've invented a genre called new grunge now
After new rave, new metal and even know folk
You can pigeon all the music but the music never stops
Chorus (short fast strums)
G C
You got Jazz, Soul, Ska Punk, Classical Guitar
D G
Hip-Hop, Electro, Drum and Bass, Bluegrass and Avant-garde
G
There's someone there to sing along
C
There'll be someone there to hum it
D
I don't think i've mentioned Reggae yet?
G (hold)
I fucking love it!
After Nirvana i started listening to Rap
I used to love Snoop Doggy Dog and The Wu Tang Clan
I think the first time I heard Techno I was into my late teens
I was at some rave in Luton on a really banging eve
And I'd dance all night to the music and then I would go home
I'd lie in bed the next day and listen to the Counting Crows
My mum raised me on the Beatles, suhe said Paul McCartney was god
So I learnt pretty early on the importance of a song
But history repeats itself and fashions turn around
Just look at Paul McCartney now
Oh You've got Rock n Pop, Rock n Roll, Rock and Rockabilly
You got Detroit House and Acid House, Britpop and Indie
There's someone there to sing along
There'll be someone there to hum it
I don't think i've mentioned Reggae yet?
I fucking love it!
You got Soul, Jazz, Ska Punk, Classical Guitar
Hip-Hop, Electro, Drum and Bass, Bluegrass and Avant-garde
There's someone there to sing along
There'll be someone there to hum it
I don't think i've mentioned Reggae yet?
I fucking love it!
