About the artist

The 2-track single 'Blame it on my family' from the long-awaited album 'Funny World'. Jen Charlton – an itinerate Canadian – has teamed up with French producer Yves Galula to create a truly fresh crop of songs. The music speaks of 1960's - 70's New York and Montreal – with just the right mix of gloom and sunshine. This is no-nonsense writing that still manages to be rich and whimsical.

Lyrics

I feel like there's a hinge I have to take out
And move it to the left and shake it all about

I'm pinned somewhere it's hard to see
I could blame it on my mom – I could blame it on my dad
I could blame it on my family

But I keep waiting for the part in the movie
Where everything's ok and all your problems
Just go away…….eh eh eh….

But here I am again with my coffee
And a list as long as my arm
I can't even remember what I came here for
It seems so long and gone

I keep waiting for the part in the movie
Where everything's ok and all your problems
Just go away…….eh eh eh….

Jesus and Buddha said there was no
Special incantation for happiness
But if I had a formula – I'd put it in a bottle
And sell it for a tenner a pop

I keep waiting for the part in the movie
Where everything's ok and all your problems
Just go away…….eh eh eh….
