From the album The Best Of Dark Horse 1976-89.

"Bust my back on the Levy - broke my strings on the BBC

Found my chops on Eel Pie Island - paid my dues at the Marquee

Slagged off by the N.M.E. - lost my stash and my virginity

In this Cockamamie Business

Got my face on Ed Sullivan - broke my heart on the Soul Train

Introduced to Bad Company - lost cells down at Brain Drain

And before I could mend - lost the missus, missed the girlfriend

In this Cockamamie Business

Now we like to air condition - though the air has no ozone ring

Still they're chopping down the forest for McDonalds and the Burger King

Eating cows with such persistance - doesn't offer much resistance

To this Cockamamie Business

There are too many things - stressing out the nervous system

Girls you used to know - fellas that may have kissed'em

Some got rabies - Some got fleas - some got incurable diseases

From this Cockamamie Business

Everybody's after as many points as they can get

As long as it's not them that has to pay

No one really minds the Debt

5-Star actors, tax inspectors, film producers and directors

With their Cockamamie Business

Well you do what you can - can't do much more than that

(No you can't do what he just said)

Some days you're pretty sharp - on other days you feel half dead

(While you make your daily bread)

Didn't want to be a star - wanted just to play guitar

In this Cockamamie Business".

It's too bad that not many people listen to George. He's just as good a song writer as Paul or John

I don't watch True Blood, but I do hear the similarities between the two (this and opening song). Howard needs to listen again. This is a great song. Can't find it on ITUNES though as a single. I already have Harrisoons latest Best of. but this is not on it.
