Midweek Music Lyrics by Suffolk songsters

Gimme the keys

You ain't gonna see me for dust

The Barnby Bends ain't gonna get the better of me

Gimme the keys

To any old bucket of rust

The Acle Straights are gonna take me to where I wanna be

Stuck in a rut

Stuck in a rut for eternity

Stuck in a rut

Stuck in a rut for eternity

The Darkness (Stuck in a Rut from Permission To Land)
