Pete Bentham & the Dinner Ladies - Life Is Beautiful

    


  People Are Cunts... 

  The kings and queens of the kitchencore scene return to Just Some Punk Songs today. I last featured Liverpool's Pete Bentham and the Dinner Ladies (https://www.facebook.com/dinnerladiesliverpool/) in 2019 following the release of their excellent 4th studio album, England's Up For Sale. 

  Since then we've spent pretty much the past12 months with Covid and have had to put up with various restrictions and lockdowns. It's been a tough time (doubly so for the Dinner Ladies I'd have thought, with schools being shut!) so the band have released a new "stay positive" song which will also act to point people in the direction of the #SaveOurVenues Red List which is trying to help save the grassroot venues most at risk of closure due to the crisis. You can get more details (and you can help if possible) here : https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/save-our-venues-red-list 

  The song is available on Bandcamp as a name your price download :  https://petebenthamandthedinnerladies.bandcamp.com/ 

  The accompanying video is a little bit special as it features guest appearances from numerous members of the UK DIY punk scene including members of the Dinner Ladies, Eastfield, Interrobang!? Bratakus, Delinquents, Werecats, Salt the Snail, Crash Mats, Biteback, Riviera Kid, Spam Javelin and Pascal Briggs. This is Life Is Beautiful...

No you can't have your ball back Coz your neighbours a ballbag He votes UKIP and all that People are cunts Lose your faith in humanity Watch TV shows about vanity They should be killed by a manatee People are cunts But life if beautiful If you hang on to what's personal If you see your pint as half full Life is wonderful Read the comments on youtube Yes there are people just like you Who think that Hitler's their go-to People are cunts Spend some time on the networks The attention seekers are all there Propaganda and real jerks People are cunts But life if beautiful If you hang on to what's personal If you see your pint as half full Life is wonderful No you can't have your ball back Coz your neighbours a ballbag The world is scary and all that Lose your faith in humanity Watch TV shows about vanity It can feel like insanity... But life is beautiful Is beautiful if you hang on to what's personal If you see your pint as half full Life is wonderful Yes life is beautiful Even inspirational If you see your pint as half full Life is wonderful
