Dobba - Guitar, Vocals
Norbert - Vocals 

A short but perfectly formed classic Fingolstones track. It contains all the elements of their most successful numbers, ie a classic riff ripped off from someone else and lyrics taking the Michael from a mate.

The track opens with Dobba picking out the intro from "Time Flys By When You’re The Driver Of A Train" from Trumpton forming a rather strange juxtaposition with the main riff which is from Hawkwinds "Seven By Seven". Norberts strained pseudo posh vocals perfectly complementing the guitar work.

The song itself is an affectionate tribute to Jeremy "Jez" Lowe, a rather posh if somewhat short schoolmate of the band. Tragedy was to follow the recording of the track however. Less than 4 months after the song poking fun at Jez's inability to pull was released Norbert was horrified to find out that Jez had "nicked his bird" Jenny thus leading directly to the infamous "cream bun" incident.
The lads learnt an important lesson here, take the p**s out of your mates at your peril as it may just come back to bite you on the arse.

Lost am I in this world
I'm only 5 feet tall
Can I find a girlfriend
Though I'm only small
I got shrunken in the rain
Never been outside again
I find jokes about my size
A fwightful bore
A fwightful bore
A fwightful bore
A fwightful bore
A fwightful bore

Following the double humiliation of being the target of a Fingolstones song and the "Cream Bun" incident, Jez rebelled against his swotty image and formed a Death Metal Band called "Corpse Shagger". His band mates were Frank Stubbs and Iain Davies.
