Hi everyone,

Firstly Happy New Year and welcome to 2016. I've been here for a while of course. :) I hope 2016 holds great things for you.

Well David and I thought we'd start the year by releasing a song, the last for our album. Woo hoo!!! :woohoo: :silly: B) :laugh: :)

This one was inspired by a sign which Andy and David saw when they were walking above the shoreline at Half Moon Bay CA before IGC 2015; 'Goat grazing for Vegetation Reduction in San Mateo County'. :) If you want more you'll need to ask David. :)

We hope you enjoy it.




Goat Grazing

Grass on the highway, grass on the track
Grass out the front and grass out the back
Grass in the kitchen, hay in the yard
Gotta cut that grass but i been working too hard

One foot, two foot, three foot high
This time next week it’ll be up to the sky

Gonna go down town, buy me a dog
A goat for grazing, and a big old hog
A house with some land, put a picket fence on it
Marry me the girl in the easter bonnet

And it's one foot, two foot, three foot high
This time next week it’ll be up to the sky

Eggs for dinner, turkey for tea
Corn for the goat but none for me
Bones for the dog, new shoes for the wife
Got me a stressed-up , messed up, kind of a life

One foot, two foot, three foot high
This time next week it’ll be up to the sky

Well the goat's eatin' clothing, right off the line,
Includin' the dresses that my wife just did buy,
The dog's biting strangers, causin' all sorts of strife
Got me a stressed up, messed up, kind of a life.

One foot, two foot, three foot high
This time next week it’ll be up to the sky

Well the goat's eating bills, my socks and the phone
Wife needs more shoes, but the budget's been blown
The dog's jumped the fence, chased the postie on his bike
Got me a stressed up, messed up kind of a life.

One foot, two foot, three foot high
This time next week it’ll be up to the sky

Well the dog went to heaven, he was out of luck
The hog went to market in the back of a truck
My wife done gone , now i’m back on my own
‘cept for the goat, who’s refusing to mow

One foot, two foot, three foot high
This time next week it’ll be up to the sky

One foot, two foot, three foot high
You can bury me beneath it when I die

One foot, two foot, three foot high
You can bury me beneath it when I die

And the hits just keep on coming! Well done all around. Michele are you still using iMovie for all those PIPs? If so, THAT alone is a ton of work. BTW loved the whistling tune at the end of the video. Nice touch.

Happy New Year!

How funny to start this new year at TG with an ending ;)
Well... not really an ending eh?

So.... Congratulations on your first TZZ Album!!!! :woohoo:

Looking forward to the first copy and t-shirts for sale.
I reckon i'll be in on the pre-sale reservation list right?

Give me a date and time so I can sleep the night over in a sleeping bag in front of the shop, just to be sure :P :laugh:
In fact.... hmm ....Just thinking.... If you plan the release of your album in England, around the same time Dave N will have his concert there, we could go there AND throw in a huge TZZ party with other TG members who are interested to come over to England, have some fun and play some music together! B) :woohoo:
Now that would be a blast!!! :cheer:

Great work you two! Again, it's been a privilege.
Corina.

Thx so much Willem, Ness, Daryl and Corina.

The whistling was of course Shel - not only is she a talented multi-instrumentalist, she even whistles too, who knew ?!!

As for the album, we're kicking around ideas for the track sequence at the moment. The launch may be a little lower key than you're expecting Corina :) , but you'll be very welcome whenever and wherever it is.

Agreed. Well done, guys. I really has been a treat to watch you write, arrange, perform, and produce these songs. I can't imagine how much time you put into these, although as TZZ's, perhaps time stands still while you work on them. Thanks for sharing them with us.
