Saw a man I used to know consumed by all his long-agos
And music on the radio wallpapering his life
He spoke of how he changed his mind and left his other life behind
Refusing to be defined by someone else's dream
Right time, right place, right girl, waiting for the weekend
Replace that face, pull back the curtain, open the door and
Here comes Barry, with his head held high
Here comes Barry, leaving yesterday behind.
We heard about the sordid case and someone else's guilty face
Passed judgement on the sad remains of shattered lives
He sits alone at home and waits amidst the coffee cups and plates
Whilst studiously contemplating his Jimmy Choos
Right time, right place, right girl, waiting for the weekend
Replace that face, put on the dress and open the door and
Here comes Barry, with his head held high
Here comes Barry, leaving yesterday behind.
Right time, right place, right girl, waiting for the weekend
Replace that face, put on the dress and open the door and
Here comes Barry, with his head held high
Here comes Barry, leaving yesterday behind.

Ska Punk as good as it gets. Other bands would benefit from taking notes. Culture Shock is relevant as always with the contemporary lyrics, and the music will force you to nod in rhythm whether you want to or not. Droote
