about

This is the most autobiographical thing we’ve ever done. It contains at
least three verifiable facts. Most importantly, it’s less than 3 minutes
long. We’ve tried to capture the live Dutch Widows sound. As soon as we
play our first gig, we’ll know how successful we were.

lyrics

Hey hello. How are you? And you’re welcome here, this is what we do
We’re shouting silly words and we make them rhyme
But never tell us that it’s a waste of all our time
None are Dutch and no-one died
It’s just a mystery that we keep inside
We’re finding ways to keep our inner child alive, hoping he can fly
Dutch Widows and they’re reaching for their sky
[No-one knows why they bother]
Dutch Widows and they’re feeling rather fine
[They keep on making music, why??]
Oh there’s more, do you see that beard
It took us years to grow and what’s slightly weird
it makes us older looking than we appear to be (time to shave it, dear)
Dutch Widows and they’re reaching for their sky
[No-one knows why they bother]
Dutch Widows and they’re feeling rather fine
[They keep on making music, why??]
(a guitar solo of sorts is expected to appear about now)
Oh, you know, we’re so nearly done
It seems that time has passed and you’ve had your fun
It’s been a laugh to chat and to drink some wine
And now leave here the same way you arrived
Dutch Widows and they’re reaching for their sky
[No-one knows why they bother]
Dutch Widows and they’re feeling rather fine
[They keep on making music, why??]
