One of the first Oi! bands, Cock Sparrer was playing loud, raw, Cockney working-class anthems as early as the first wave of British punk, although record company difficulties prevented them from issuing much material until the early '80s, when the Oi!movement was well underway. The group formed in London's East End in 1975, originally as a hard-edged pub rock combo in the vein of Dr. Feelgood. Four of the members -- vocalist Colin McFaull, guitarist Mick Beaufoy, bassist Steve Burgess, and drummer Steve Bruce -- had been schoolmates since age 11, and had been playing together in cover bands three years prior. They were joined by rhythm guitarist Garrie Lammin (Burgess' cousin), and soon began playing the Bridgehouse Pub in Canning Town on a regular basis.

I Need A Witness Lyrics
Cock Sparrer
i got home this morning 'bout a quarter to four
i found my baby headin' out the door

she thought i been romancin' but she got it wrong
i try to stay clean she wont let me be
shes always checkin up on me
i need a witness
yeah i wasnt sure but i thought she saw
i need a witness
i dont wanna show it i hope i dont blow it
i love that lady but shes such a wench
ended sleeping on that old pine bench
cuz i been out dancin all night long
she thought i been romancin' but she got it wrong
i try to stay clean she wont let me be
shes always checkin up on me
i need a witness
yeah i wasnt sure but i thought she saw
i need a witness
i dont wanna show it i hope i dont blow it
i need a witness
i need a witness
i need a witness
i need a witness
i need a witness
yeah i wasnt sure but i thought she saw
i need a witness
i dont wanna show it i hope i dont blow it
