This is a message to Jo Whiley:

Jo, seriously, the year I've had has been crazy

Craaaazy!

I've had a stomach ulcer and a broken heart

I've been out with a celebrity but thankfully no one found out about that

I was just going to post it back anonymously

But Jo that's not what my mom and dad raised me up to be

I made a deal with superstition, and I make deals to keep

September 2003, Friday the 13th

I was on your show, you supported me, I thank you eternally

Things were different back then, before the gambling learnt me

Those days of free beer before that said celebrity fling

Back then, I was desperate to make an excellent second disc

I did something bad

But always vowed to my soul

That if my next work increased my amount of albums sold

Enough for Mike to not end up back out on the dole

I promised I'd promptly send you back what I stole

I don't know how to say this one

But I stole your microphone

While I was on

Your live radio show, Jo

Friday the 13th is unlucky for some, I tell you

But that Friday was lucky for mom

Cause that mic you loaned me made for a number one

Number one! So thank you!

See i got your microphone it's in my pocket oo those registers

i fooled them quite easy

i was nervous like didn't know if that gonna be that easy

not cuz i had done it million million times,

i don't feel good about it and i don't want to repeat it,

but my new material is free in my web site

So Jo anyways all i wanted to say it's just sorry

i took your mic but im sending it back, promptly

I don't know how to say this one (im really sorry)

But I stole your microphone

While I was on

Your live radio show, Jo

The 13th is unlucky for some, I tell you

But that Friday was lucky for mom

Cause that mike you only made for a number one

Number one!

I keep gettin these letter about not paying my license fee

they already sendin' it red

but after awhile they go back to blue for a change

I wont pay back as long as my water raise

I don't know how to say this one (im really sorry)

But I stole your microphone

While I was on

Your live radio show, Jo

The 13th is unlucky for some, I tell you

But that Friday was lucky for mom

Cause that mike you only made for a number one

Number one!

Jo seriously I'm, im really sorry

i don't gonna say that i was Drunk to excuse my self i was drunk

even broke at one point i had it to pay at thus , i feel awful

we use it to record nearly 2 albums so yea

give him a good time cuz he has become really quite a friend
