Embed: He was known as smack Jack the Cracker Man
In life he was dealt some shit hands
But the boys got the back now

And Jay went the same way
As Mickey and Dan
Dependent mans upon the heroins
And man Lisa had a baby with Sam
And now Jack on his own man

Well done Jack, glug down that cider
Your right she's a slut
And you never fucking liked her
Not like what he stopped so shocked
'Cause it turns out the last dance
Killed the pied piper

Tough little big man
Friends with your daughters
Only cos they drive him
To pick up all his quarters
Crawler, lager lout brawlers
Fall to the floor think they're free
But they aint near the border

Too young gunned down by your hell fire corner
Always did a favour
But never took a order
Behave young scally wag
A fine young galahad
Glad ragged up but only ever getting fag hags

Hung on his shoulder, cheap price shop tag
Slag better understand
He came for the glamour
But this town's original
Superficial the issue
For one dear Jack
there 35 doppelgangers

Sheila goes out with her mate Stella
It gets poured all over her fella
'Cause she's says, man he ain't no better
Than the next man kicking up fuss

Drunk she stumbles down by a river
Screams calling London
None of us heard her coming
I guess the carpet weren't rolled out

So this a short story 'bout the girl Georgina
Never seen a worse, clean young mess
Under stress at best, but she pleased to see ya
With love, god bless, we lay her body to rest
Now it all dear started with daddys alcoholic

Light weights chinking down, numbing his brain
And the doctor said
He couldn't get the heart dear started
Now beat up, drugged up
She feeling the strain

She says in a rut
What the fuck I spose to do
Suck it up start stop keep running through
True but you try aint easy to do
She been buckle belt beaten
From the back like a brat

Dunno where she goin
But she know where she at
So Georgy its time to chain react
But the truth is you know
She probably fought back
Tears stream down her face
She screamed away

When I fall, no one catch me
Alone lonely, I'll overdose slowly
Get scared, I'll scream and shout
But you know it won't matter
She'll be passing out

I say giggidibiggidiup just another day
Another sad story, that's tragedy
Paramedic announced death at 10: 30
Rip it up kick it to spit up the views
Sheila goes out with her mate Stella
It gets poured all over her fella
'Cause she's says, man he ain't no better
Than the next man kicking up fuss
Drunk she stumbles down by a river
Screams calling London
None of us heard her coming
I guess the carpet weren't rolled
Sheila goes out with her mate Stella
It gets poured all over her fella
'Cause she's says, man he ain't no better
Than the next man kicking up fuss
Drunk she stumbles down by a river
Screams calling London
None of us heard her coming
I guess the carpet weren't rolled outLyrics provided by TANCODEhttp://lyricsever.com/" readonly=""/>

Sheila Lyrics

Sheila goes out with her mate Stella
It gets poured all over her fella
'Cause she's says, man he ain't no better
Than the next man kicking up fuss

Drunk she stumbles down by a river
Screams calling London
None of us heard her coming
I guess the carpet weren't rolled out

(Oh when my love, my darling
You've left me here alone.
I'll walk the streets of London
Which once seemed all our own.

The vast suburban churches
Together we have found:
The ones which smelt of gaslight
The ones in incense drown'd)

Her lingo went from the cockney to the gringo
Any time she sing a song
The other girls sing along.
And tell all the fellas that the lady is single.
A fickle way to tickle
On my young mans ting.

She's up for doing what she like
Any day more like the night.
She drowned drunk sorrows.
That she stole, bought, borrowed
She didn't like fights
But at the same time understood that
Fellas will be fellas till the end of time.

(Good heavens you boys, blue-blooded murder of the English tongue.)

Jack had a gang
That he called "The Many Grams"
He was known as smack Jack the Cracker Man
In life he was dealt some shit hands
But the boys got the back now

And Jay went the same way
As Mickey and Dan
Dependent mans upon the heroins
And man Lisa had a baby with Sam
And now Jack on his own man

Well done Jack, glug down that cider
Your right she's a slut
And you never fucking liked her
Not like what he stopped so shocked
'Cause it turns out the last dance
Killed the pied piper

Tough little big man
Friends with your daughters
Only cos they drive him
To pick up all his quarters
Crawler, lager lout brawlers
Fall to the floor think they're free
But they aint near the border

Too young gunned down by your hell fire corner
Always did a favour
But never took a order
Behave young scally wag
A fine young galahad
Glad ragged up but only ever getting fag hags

Hung on his shoulder, cheap price shop tag
Slag better understand
He came for the glamour
But this town's original
Superficial the issue
For one dear Jack
there 35 doppelgangers

Sheila goes out with her mate Stella
It gets poured all over her fella
'Cause she's says, man he ain't no better

NME award-winner Jamie Treays is a 29-year-old singer/songwriter hailing from Wimbledon, South London, England. He is signed to Virgin Records but released his Betty and The Selfish Sons EP on his own Pacemaker Records label in 2007. His musical style is hard to place, but incorporates elements of rap, reggae, and acoustic genres. Although at the time of writing Jamie has received relatively little mainstream exposure, he has received airplay from BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe, who made "Salvador" his single of the week and "Back In The Game" his Hottest Record In The World. In January 2007 Jamie also covered Zane's show on radio 1 whilst Zane was away, working alongside Radio 1 DJ Nihal. On Jo Whiley's show, "Back In The Game" featured as her "pet sound" and more recently his single Sheila was Whiley's Record Of The Week. Jamie also remixed Gorillaz #36 single Kids With Guns. This was a B-side. "Sheila" was also 'playlisted' by Radio 1 thus receiving more airtime across all shows. To date Jamie has released three singles: "Sheila" was released on July 3rd 2006 and got to No.22 in the U.K. singles chart, his first Top 40 hit.
"If You've got the money", was released in October 2006 and reached No.13 in the UK top 40, and most recently
"Calm Down Dearest" was released in the UK on January 15, 2007, reaching No.12, his highest charting commercial success.

"Panic Prevention", Jamie's Debut album, was released on 29/1/2007 - although it was also leaked on the internet 3 weeks earlier. Jamie's no stranger to internet bootleggers, there's also a naughty 'Demos' album hanging around on the world wide highway containing alternative and live performances.

On March 1, 2007, Treays was voted as Best Solo Artist at the NME Awards, at Hammersmith Palais in London, England. He held off more established names like Thom Yorke & Jarvis Cocker, to receive the award.

Jamie T is currently working on his second album with a few track titles being released; including "Sticks and Stones", "Spiderwebs", "Hocus Pocus", "368", "Jilly Armeen", "British Intelligence", "Dance of the Young Professionals", "Man's Machine", "Earth, Wind & Fire", "Emily's Heart" and "Bruce". Also an unnamed track featuring backing vocals from Florence And The Machine's Florence Welch is set to be on the record. "Sticks n' Stones EP" is set to be released June 29th with The album "Kings & Queens" following late Summer.

On January 12th 2009, a music video appeared on Jamie's website for a new song, "Fire Fire". The track has elements of Jamie's trademark sound but incorporates faster rhythms, a punk aesthetic and a more abrasive sound than previous singles. Jamie T has said to NME "'Fire Fire' won't be released as a single nor will it be on the new album, it's just a thank you for the fans being so patient." He did announce a date for his new single though, The 'Stick 'N' Stones' EP which is to be released June 29th.

May 21st saw the release of the official video for his latest single "Sticks 'N' Stones". In an email received by subscribers to his website, Jamie said, “Just a little note to say thanks to everyone who’s supporting Sticks ‘N’ Stones. We just finished shooting a little video for the track the other day, so fresh out the edit room it is here for your enjoyment. It was a lot of fun to make and we hope you like it. Hope to see you all soon….. Thanks Jamie”. The video was shot entirely in the London suburb of Wimbledon where Jamie is from and features scenes of him and others, including fellow band members.
