about

This song is based off a true story. It's about a terrible school geography project that involved counting hundred of rocks. The geography teacher made no attempt at actually ensuring all variables were controlled so we could actually do something with data. The song represents the blues that came with the project.

lyrics

They took us on their bus to Ringstead Bay
Sold it to us with the Cafe
If I new what was coming
I’d have surely run away

1 5 7 6 8 2 9
I’ve been counting rocks for quite some time
Height width shape and colour
Sometimes I wonder why I bother
I’ve got the Ringstead blues

They call him sir
Well I call him crazy
Crazy Geography Guy is making the rules
I wanna tell him that he’s being a fool
Cause he was the one
Who made the whole thing pointless

4678925
I’ve been counting rocks, I don’t know why
Black, white, grey in colour
Not sure if I can count another
I’ve got the Ringstead blues

And many before us
Have suffered similar
I should have taken their advice
I should made the data up
But I
I was too afraid

1376294
I thought I could do this but now I’m not so sure
Is it a rectangle a circle or a square
I really don’t think I’m getting anywhere
I’ve got the Ringstead blues

And I didn’t even know, that I had to
Write a report
It was 3 days before I wish I never found out
Cause I got worked up about nothing
Absolutely nothing…

1345728
Counting rocks is what I really hate
Especially
When you can’t conclude anything
I’ve got the Ringstead blues
