Ginny, Ginny

UK, ,18th May, 1979
Barn Records - BARN 002

Ginny, Ginny was the lead single from the band's forthcoming eighth Studio Album, "Return To Base" and saw the band revert back to their old, tried and trusted style, but despite being released on Yellow Vinyl, as a gimmick, and receiving radio airplay, this single also failed to make an appearance in the UK Singles Charts.

Belgium, 1980 - 7"
WEA / Barn - WEAL 18333

In Belgium, the following year, "Ginny, Ginny" was relegated to the B-Side of the release, with "I'm A Rocker" as the chosen A-Side!

Ginny Ginny Ginny

Every Saturday, she spends a night on the tiles.
Every Sunday morning, never early to rise.
Back to work on Monday with the sleep in her eye.
She's late, so she dives.
Every Tuesday evening, stays in washing her hair.
I phone her up on Wednesday, find there's nobody there.
Working late on Thursday, oh 'cos Friday's the day, when she gets her pay.

Ginny, gotta get it while you can
She ain't about to start no family plan
Ginny Ginny gets some dandy handy man so she won't change
No she's never gonna change yeah

Always takes a week in the winter to ski.
She goes as Mrs Smith so she gets it for free.
Late again on Monday says her plane was delayed, or so she says
Always said she wants to find a millionaire
But he must be one with understanding to spare
'Cos Ginny ain't the girl a man can tie down
She's sure been around

Ginny, gotta get it while you can
She ain't about to start no family plan
Ginny Ginny gets some dandy handy man that she won't change
Oh No no
Ginny, gotta get it while you can
She ain't about to start no family plan
Ginny Ginny gets some funny money handy man that she won't change
No she's never gonna change yeah

Every Saturday, she spends a night on the tiles.
Every Sunday morning, never early to rise.
I can't afford to buy her diamonds or pearls
She ain't one of the girls

Ginny, gotta get it while you can
She ain't about to start no family plan
Ginny Ginny gets some funny money handy man that she won't change, no
Ginny Ginny, gotta get it while you can
She ain't about to start no family plan
Gotta find herself some funny money handy man, that she won't change
No she's never gonna change, yeah

Oh Get it get it

Ginny Ginny gonna get it get it

I'm A Rocker

( Chuck Berry )

We're gonna do a little bit of rock and roll, yeah

I went a-out on the floor when they played number one
My rock and roll baby was sure havin' fun
I'm a rocker, I'm a roller
I go down, sometimes, but I come back to rock and rollin', rollin'

I went out on the floor when they played number two
She says she don't, but I know she do
I'm a rocker, I'm a roller
I go down, sometime, but I come back to rock and rollin', rollin'

I went out on the floor when they played number four
My little baby was askin' for more
I'm a rocker, I'm a roller
I go down, sometimes, but I come back to rock and rollin', rollin'

Get on
Way-oh

Go on Davey, get the fuck in
Hey hey

I went out on the floor when they played number seven
Had a coke and cheeseburger that sent me to heaven
I'm a rocker, hey hey, I'm a roller, whoo
I go down, sometimes, but I come back to rock and rollin', rollin'

I went out on the floor when they played number nine
She wanted more, but I ain't got the time
I'm a rocker, I'm a roller
I go down, sometimes, but I come back to rock and rollin', rollin'

We went out on the foor when they played number ten
My rock and roll baby says do it again
I'm a rocker, I'm a roller
I go down, sometimes, but I come back to rock and rollin', rollin'
I go down, sometimes, but I come back to rock and rollin', rollin'
I go down, sometimes, but I come back to rock and roll
