ive been absolutely obsessed with this song since i first heard it a couple months ago, do you know if youll ever restock the singles? id love to buy one!
Fantastic, but I also see under Fixer Upper on TH-cam there's a BACKYARD CLEANUP video. Sounds like a great song for these boys! If they don't write I will and then nothing will happen to it.
This song is 100% on the mark and what I hate about people turning their beautiful centuries-old homes into modern crap with shitty overly manufactured IKEA art.
We're gonna knock through the kitchen wall though Even though it's grade two tudor architecture But we're gonna absolutely ruin it All alright? We can't stand old shite. Good old Grahame.
You can't include, gilded splinters into a track and it forces everyone to lie on their backs in the beer vom swill and do the dying fly dance. As much as I love the sultans. Stupid, being my favourite one of theirs. Yard Act make me piss. Coz I'm not from round ere but I am Chortle

Hello there! I got a letter in the post
Addressed to the previous owner
I don’t know how to pronounce their name
I don’t think they were from round here, you know
Well, I just moved into the area, yeah
That big old thing over the road
It’s a fixer upper though, it’s a fixer upper so
We’re gonna put poundshop terracotta frogs everywhere
And wrap solar power fairy lights round the gutter
Got a prosecco o’clock poster half price in Ikea
Goes nicely with the existential fear I feel
When I accidentally stop and wonder
What I’m really doing here, and how long i’ve got left before i’m six feet under
Can’t believe I’m a two homeowner…
Finally I’m a two homeowner…
The driveways paved with cotswold stone
I got off street parking for the rover,
It’s a fixer upper, yeah, no, not the rover, the rover’s golden
I’m talking about that big old thing over the road
Yeah that big old thing over the road!
Gonna knock through the kitchen wall though, Yeah, I know it’s grade 2 Tudor architecture
But we’re gonna absolutely ruin it all alright? Can’t stand old shite
It’s a fixer upper! It’s a fixer upper! It’s a fixer upper! It’s a fixer upper!
Anyway, this letter, I’ll just post it back ‘return to sender’
Unless you know him, I think…
I think he’s called J… Mr. J Konopinski.
Oh no wait, that’s not an M that’s a D,
Dr J. Konopinski, do you know him?
Sounds a bit Russian to me… Oh! He was Polish was he? I see,
And he had a PhD did he? What in?
Probably one of those pointless media degrees, not for me
University of life ya see, got a thick skin
School of hard knocks, gonna knock through that wall tuesday
Just in case you or the wife are gonna be in
a fixer upper! It’s a fixer upper! It’s a fixer upper! It’s a fixer upper!
Alright mate, sorry about all the commotion yesterday
The bloody builders are refusing to finish the job until I pay em,
But I told em, no one pulls a fast one on Graham
I’m Graham by the way, don’t know if I mentioned
I told ‘em, I’m not made of money, you’re having a laugh
Two homes and a rover, comes from hard graft
I’m not minted, I earnt it, It’s not some funny voodoo business
I didn’t walk on gilded splinters to make the dent I did in under a year
I earnt it, Incase you’re wondering
And as for the builders...
Yeah they’re polish, I’m not bothered about that
But where you come from, it says alot about a man
Like, I’m not from around here, but I am
And, they won’t take cash in hand
What’s with that? Maybe they wouldn’t need the money so fast
If they weren’t willingly giving it all to the tax man
You take what you can get where I’m from
And I’m not from round here, but I am
Buy me a pint in the sugarmill on the 15th?

Yard Act Haiku Response.
I got a letter
addressed to me myself but
who am I anyway?
Hi, I'm Graham
This song is as golden as Graham's Rover
heard on 6 music yesterday and I've had it on repeat everywhere I go. Love it.
Yeeeessss!! Me too
Same I forgot what it was called, heard it couple weeks back and finally found it , what a tune , 6 music does it again ❤️
The sounds a lot like The Who Boys' 24 Hour Chemist song, in that the subject is mundane as hell, but the actual song is great.
Hi I'm Graham by the way
heard this yesterday on 6 Music (Nov 24) and hooked . Preceded by Tom Waits too, class.
This very much remains a belter
No rush guys but I want to listen to more of this kind of thing as soon as possible.
Just heard this on BBC Radio 6 - this is great
Heard this on 6 Music - assumed it was some cult classic that I'd just not heard akin to 'Where's Me Jumper?'. Great tune I shall get it shared.
me too, although it wasn't this track i heard on Lamaq's show
Ear worm of the year, Thank you 6 Music.
Somebody once described Yard Act’s singer as “Mike Skinner meets Salad Fingers” and I can’t un-hear it now 😂 love it though.
Ello John got a new motor.. 🕺💃. 😉. Beautiful band.. X
Love Graham. Know too many people like that. Will have to get some new friends.
This is a fantastic tune, a blend of mid 90s indy, Half Man Half Biscuit and Floating Death Picnic.
Dead good
Big old thing over the road
Love it
I haven't heard something that good for a very long time. I love your band
Heard this on the indie show, on radio 1! good shit.
It's all thanks to Jack!
...and I'm not from round 'ere but I am.
Fuckin genius. So much encapsulated in that little line.
Absolute belter. Came across this on my Spotify recommendation list.
Followed and can’t wait for more releases 👍👍👍
Heard this on 6 music yesterday and it stopped me in my tracks. Banger.
Still love it
Fantastic. Like an updated "My pink half of the drainpipe" crossed with the fall.
More! More!
The Rovers' golden! 🔥
Similar in theme to 'Capable Man'.
Great tune. Well observed lyrics.
Love it
this song is very very very very very very very amazingly amazing and thank you very much for making it i llove IT
Tune of the year for me.. Absolute banger. Class👌🏼
i LOVE this song
Great song, greetings from Mexico!
Ace song bit Frank Sidebottom bit half man half biscuit keep it up hopefully you guys will get an album soon
Dint realize how much i needed this. Banger
Shitting crikey this is a right tune
I meet people like graham every day at work, this song is very cathartic for me
Absolute belter, cannae stop listening to it.
Ace live. You know the songs ace when half the crowd know all the words!
Just heard this on a random playlist that I kicked off with The Freshies' Tell Her I'm Ill. Absolutely love it.
Just heard it. Brilliant
this has gotta be the most addicting song of all time. love it
Hi Graham, I'm Graham 😁😁
Brilliant !
Love it
Wonderful. Peace
Right tune!
Thought was John Cooper Clarke
An there’s no denying his obvious talent
No-one pulls a fast one on Graham...
Most addictive song of 2020
Excellent tune. Wonder if they could write a ballet with Michael Clark Dance Company
ive been absolutely obsessed with this song since i first heard it a couple months ago, do you know if youll ever restock the singles? id love to buy one!
Genius tune fellas
The 2020 revelation - best band!
This is my 'Song of the day' today on my FB page...as for my TH-cam page and the rest, it's in the works. Keep it flowing guys.
Very impressive work
89.7 the river
I definitely think Graham should get his own album
This is boss
World Class!
Banger!
This band wl be huge
Phenomenal tune !!!!
nice song
Very nice.
Good tune. Heard it on BAGeL Radio (SomaFM).
What do we reckon there will eventually be loads of people liking this unironically and agreeing with all the lyrics
Fantastic, but I also see under Fixer Upper on TH-cam there's a BACKYARD CLEANUP video. Sounds like a great song for these boys! If they don't write I will and then nothing will happen to it.
I'm Graeme by the way gets me everytime! Also love how British "that's not an M thats a D" is
I really am Graeme by the way, lol
such a banger
Just heard this on the radio, fucking sick
Perfection !
Just heard this via FBI radio, Sydney. Love it! I'm Boydie, by the way...
Just heard it on 6 music. Great. Very Half Man Half Biscuit.
Nowt like em.
This is raddddooon!
Dr J. Konopinski brought me here.
They recommended this song as part of my Media Studies degree.
This is honestly one of my fave songs that captures modern britain perfectly
this song - where the fall meet hMHb
Reminds me of Five Minutes of Funk by Whodini.
FINALLY
This song is 100% on the mark and what I hate about people turning their beautiful centuries-old homes into modern crap with shitty overly manufactured IKEA art.
Boss this
See ya Graham
Reyt Track!
Classic lyrics
belting Gray
Fuck me this is good...New Fads/Fall
Ayup Graham!
“Hi graham, I’m Graham” 😂
I'm Smerington by the way
the best song there is about gentrification ever ... i think
Even though it is a lovely bit of Tudor
Leeds
As for the builders
Yeah, they’re Polish
Shout out to Grahams
Who would play Graham in the music video?
Ricky Tomlinson
... PARK LIFE?
This is so polarising but I’m weirdly digging this??? 90s vibe
Lol not everything is 90s. If anything it owes a lot to the 80s post-punk and 00s Arctic Monkey’s style of vocal enunciation.
@@ac8598 it gave me a britpop vibe though? But I agree it carries elements of a few eras.
@@MizzSparkle90 this reminds me more of the fall than anything by blur imo !
Love it! Peanuts too. Made me smile n tap my gouty feet. Looking forward to more
"I'm Graham by the way (hi Graham!)"
We're gonna knock through the kitchen wall though
Even though it's grade two tudor architecture
But we're gonna absolutely ruin it
All alright? We can't stand old shite.
Good old Grahame.
Love this tune you guys. The bassline is dead reyt.
anyone else hear the minecraft villager noise at 2:07?
Not actually into it but its not bad by any means and a great to see an actual band playing is fucking fantastic , keep it up !!
as a person of Anglo-Celtic ancestry "i'm not from round here but i am" captures how I feel towards the UK perfectly
Chumbawamba anyone ?
You can't include, gilded splinters into a track and it forces everyone to lie on their backs in the beer vom swill and do the dying fly dance.
As much as I love the sultans.
Stupid, being my favourite one of theirs.
Yard Act make me piss.
Coz I'm not from round ere but I am
Chortle
