Aint No Pleasing You Lyrics


Well I built my life around you, did what I thought was right.
But you never cared about me, now I've seen the light.
Oh darling, there ain't no pleasin' you.You seemed to think that everything I ever did was wrong.
I should have known it, all along.
Oh darlin', there ain't no pleasin' you.You only 'ad to say the word,
And you knew I'd do it.
You 'ad me where you wanted me,
But you went and blew it.Now everything I ever done, was only done for you.
But now you can go and do, just what you wanna do,
I'm tellin' you.Coz I ain't gonna be made to look a fool no more,
You done it once too often, what do ya take me for?
Oh darlin', there ain't no pleasin' you.And you seemed to think that everything I ever did was wrong.
I should 'ave known it all along,
That darlin', there ain't no pleasin' you.You only 'ad to say the word,
And you knew I'd do it.
You 'ad me where you wanted me,
But you went and blew it.Now everything I ever done, was only done for you.
But now you can go and do, just what you wanna do,

I'm tellin' you.Coz I ain't gonna be made to look a fool no more,
You done it once too often, what do ya take me for?
Oh darlin', there ain't no pleasin' you.Now if you think I don't mean what I say, and I'm only bluffin'.
You got another thing comin', I'm tellin' you that for nothin'.
Coz darlin' I'm leavin',
That's what I'm gonna...do-oo-oo

Chas & Dave are a Cockney pop rock music artists, often billed as Chas 'n' Dave or erroneously as Chaz 'n' Dave. Their full names are Chas Hodges (piano, vocals, banjo, guitars) and Dave Peacock (bass guitar, vocals, banjo, guitars), with Mick Burt on drums. They were regulars on British TV from 1975 onwards and had hits like "Gertcha", their first, as well as "Rabbit" and "The Sideboard Song". Their music was featured in a TV beer advertising campaign which also helped to establish them in the United Kingdom.

The unique cockney style of singing was from the start intentional. They felt an alternative to the way British bands copied American accents was needed. The songs above are partly comic, and Chas 'n' Dave are identified with London pub culture. But their 1982 number 2 hit, "Ain't No Pleasing You" was a more romantic record, with strings added to the usual piano, drum and bass sound. 'Rockney' has been coined as a term for their music style. They have always done a great deal of live work, and are currently doing shows all over the UK.

"Snooker Loopy" is a comic song about Snooker by Chas and Dave.

Chas and Dave have remained famous, in part, because of the songs they have written and recorded for Tottenham Hotspur F.C. Among their most famous Spurs recordings are "Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur", "Ossie's Dream", "Hot Shot Tottenham", "When the Year Ends in One", "Tottenham Tottenham" and the "Spurs Medley".

As explained on their website, a hook written by Labi Siffre and played by Chas n Dave (for Siffre's "I Got The") was lifted by Eminem for use on his hit song "My Name Is".

Cited by both Carl Barat and Pete Doherty of the Libertines as a major influence and inspiration to pick up the guitar and write songs, Chas and Dave acquired a new audience of indie kids. This was cemented when Chas and Dave played suppport for the Libertines at several gigs in 2002, followed by appearances at Glastonbury in 2004 and 2007.

In September 2009, Dave amicably retired from the duo, while Chas continued touring with a new band.

In 2012 they reunited for what was to be a final tour but new found enthusiasm sees them continue touring throughout 2013. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
