about

Written by Martin Stephenson
First verse and chorus written in 1978
2nd completed in November 2023
So there is approx 43 years between the 1st and 2nd verse
That's highly unusual eh?
Also keeping with the ironic... North Shields musician Liam Fender plays keys on this and laughed when he read the lyric and to quote him.."This is a little too close to the knuckle Martin, having a younger brother called Sam"

lyrics

We Better Get Sam

We better get Sam he’s been a week up there
Don’t ya think we ought bring him down
We better get Sam he’s been a week up there
She’ll have him, frothing at the mouth
Well I know that whore’s pimp is a murderer
He must’ve strangled Sam and left him to rot
Better get Sam he’s been a week up there
Ya know, we could be losing a p lot

All we need do is head for the hills
Hide the money down the well like we planned
There’s too much heat in this village to bare
We’ll have to break out in the old white van
Too much attention yeah the worlds in a spin
If we don’t grip it boy we ain’t gonna last
We better get Sam and to stick with the plan
We’ll have to hoof it, man we’ll have to blast

Guillemot Days
by Anna Lavigne

supported by 31 fans who also own “Better Get Sam”

Guillemot Days whisks us to a glistening shoreline, awash with 10 sublime songs full of serene hope. Compelling right from the buoyant opener Edge Of The World and Butterfly overflows with soaring, twangy sunshine. For a fave, so close with the lush vocals, melodic layers of Flowers Of Hope versus Peace And Plenty: an intriguing, modern parlour song both eerie and exquisite, voices and clarinet blending into something quite special. This album is a musical lighthouse on a dark day. Unmissable. anitajoyce
