Dan Lyons

Dan Lyons is a Margate based musician and songwriter. Through vivid imagery rarely seen in song, he can tell stories in earnest. Musical influences range from The Go Betweens to Radiohead all the way to Leonard Cohen and Serge Gainsbourg whilst his work remains something only Dan Lyons, with his unique worldview and experience could produce. ‘‘If music was scholarly then Dan would hail from that of Bob Dylan and Lou Reed. His lyrics are commanding, both piquant and hard-hitting. In another life, he’d find himself living amongst the Beatniks of New York’s Greenwich Village or living rent-free as a poet in Paris’ Shakespeare & Co.” - Clash Magazine

Half cut at The Rose and Crown 
The landlord’s not doing any more favours 
Throw another log on that fire before the gypsies get cold and reach for the petrol 
Fill that hole in the old driveway and charge them three times the going rate
Lay the decking flat, put your brand new sausages on your frozen barbecue 
And hope and pray that there won’t be rain tonight 

Curtains twitching, this small town is wriggling 
Man you’ll never catch him looking like that
What a state, stupid c*** has got his shirt the wrong way round
Get a haircut, clean your nose, where are you going to work? 
Jesus lives next to the Methodist hall and he’s lending me his drill 
No more nails for me to stick this lonely mess, just a will and some elbow grease 
I’m off to Biarritz.
