Do Yourself Right by Matt Simpkins
arranged by Toby Bull, Adrian Johnson, Matt Simpkins & Mark Turnbull

I believe I hear my father calling through the night,
"You foolish son, what have you done?
Your words don't do you right!"

I believe I hear my father calling through the night,
Belive I hear him calling, saying "son, do yourself right."

I held you upon my shoulders,
Your weight upon my back.
I travelled far, followed your star,
But soon I was crawling back...

If you can hear me father calling through the night,
If you can hear me calling, pray your son does right.

Adrian: Electric guitars, bowed guitar
Mark: Drums
Matt: Lead vocal, acoustic guitar, violin, squeezebox and piano
