"We did this demo for Dr. Feelgood at the Hamper Mill Turbine House, Lee Brilleaux said I sounded more like him than he did. . . . Really low register for me, but it worked - they covered it! " ~ Chris Bradford

lyrics

Poor boy up west, the action wasn’t going my way
Rich girl best dressed, lookin’ like she come out to play
I stood back you swept passed, I decided that I’d give it a shot
I stepped in I moved fast, I thought I’d give it everything that I’d got

We take tea at the ritz, I take you down to the docks
You can rely on me to lower the tone
You call me your bit of rough, I call you my bit of stuff
You ain’t brass you’re a touch of class

I like a pint, you like your bubbles
We have a whip round when you order your drink
You’re in who’s who, I’m whose in trouble
You’re upper class and I’m the missing link

You got a plum in your mouth and too much time on your hands
I got an accent you can cut with a knife
Your dad’s a bit of a snob, but mine’s a terminal slob
You ain’t brass you’re a touch of class

We go dutch it ain’t much
I knew a classy girl like you wouldn’t mind
A bit of rough a bit of tough, a bit of low life dockside bump and grind

- guitar solo -

You got a race horse at home you keep him down on the farm
I buy the sporting life to study the odds
I got a feel for the streets, you got your country retreat
You ain’t brass, you’re a touch of class
You ain’t brass, you’re a touch of class
You ain’t brass
Huh, you’re a touch of class
