Glenn Tilbrook - Kev and Dave
(Tilbrook)
From the 2014 studio album, Happy Ending. I think Simon Hanson (of The Fluffers and
currently Squeeze) sings
lead vocals on this.
[Intro]
A Bm
Do-do-doo do-do do-do-do, Do-do-doo do-do do-do-do
A Bm
Do-do-doo do-do do-do-do, Do-do-doo do-do do-do-do
[Verse 1]
A Bm
A mexican stand off that neither would trade
A
Kev runs their pub with his brother Dave
Bm
Food on the menu from all over the place
A Bm
Chinese, Italian, French and Thai
A
Chicken Curry, Steak and Kidney Pie
Bm
All bases covered there's no reason why
[Verse 2]
A Bm
From Everything I Own to Life's a Caba-ret
A
They belt out karaoke on the corner stage
Bm
Kevin would sing but it was mostly Dave
F#m C#m
Dave is the brawn and Kev is the brains
F#m
Kev does the books while Dave clears the drains
C#m
Dave is the beauty and Kev is the beast
D
Kev has the hops while Dave has the yeast
E
Dave has ideas while Kev pro-crastinates
D E
So Kevin lies down while Dave he lifts the weights
[Chorus]
A D G A
Doesn't measure up and you can't ex-plain

Couldn't make it up
G A
And you can't com-plain
A Bm
Do-do-doo do-do do-do-do, Do-do-doo do-do do-do-do
A Bm
Do-do-doo do-do do-do-do, Do-do-doo do-do do-do-do
[Verse 3]
A Bm
The crows feet have vanished in one big bound
A
Their teeth got whiter and they lost some pounds
Bm
They're chirpy chappies and they get a-round
A Bm
They're living it large and they love their perks
Bm
A Bentley for Kevin and Dave's got a merc
Bm
Their tans getting deeper and that takes some work
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m C#m
Kev's going funny, running out of gas
F#m
Pretends he hasn't seen you when you know that he has
C#m
Dave's sticking by him just to keep him on track
D
It's not 9 to 5 but they don't break their backs
E
They do what they do and they duck and dive
D E Am7 F#m A
But somehow they're doing more than staying a-li-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ive
[Chorus]
A D G A
Doesn't measure up and you can't ex-plain
D
Couldn't make it up
