about

This was the first song in my first Edinburgh show. The way I sing it in the recording is a bit inspired by Morrisey.

lyrics

My friend Dave is a little bit square, just like a fridge.
My friend Dave hasn’t got any hair, just like a fridge
Dave doesn’t listen to what you say.
He likes to pretend the everything’s OK
Dave keep things the same way everyday, just like a fridge.

My friend Dave is white, just like a fridge
Dave doesn’t wash so he gently hums, just like a fridge.
His light comes on when you open the door.
You can only use Dave for what Dave is for.
Dave at a party is a bit of a bore, just like a fridge.

My friend Dave is cold inside, just like a fridge
But he’s warm if you touch him on the back, just like a fridge
Dave’s Dad’s called Eric and his Mum is Joanne
Whilst travelling in East Asia, their romance began
And that’s how come Dave was made in Japan. Just like a fridge

We thought that Dave would always be alone, just like a fridge
Because Dave is not good at talking to girls, just like a fridge.
But then he found someone to call his own
We finally met her when he brought her home
But she could not quite fit into the living room, because she was massive,
just like a fridge.
