Simple Kid (born Ciaran McFeely) is an Irish solo musician known for his trancey/synth sound and his "simple" approach to making and performing his music. Simple Kid's approach to recording is different than others in that raw recordings are made to an 8-track cassette player which he then feeds into his computer for mixing and mashing into the final song.
Before becoming Simple Kid, Ciaran was a member of The Young Offenders. Forming when he was 17, the band was composed of friends made while growing up in Cork, Ireland.

okay so heres the chords for a wicked song by a wicked man. i picked it up from watching him live in my local record shop. i think this is pretty much it. email me if you have any alterations or compliments etc @ [email protected]
chords- Cm 8-8-10-10-8-x D 2-0-0-3-2-3 the bass note is optional, sounds as good without G5 3-2-0-0-3-3 C 0-3-2-0-1-0 C/G7 3-2-0-0-1-0 not sure of the name of this one
You have to listen to the song get the rhythm, especially on the chorus which has a quick 1-2 change on the C-C/G7 chords.
Cm (continous strum all through verse) The average man is 35 years old And he owns a car but he dreams of a better one He's overweight but he's working on losing some The average man of the street is mad on Street
And he will fall in love at least 2 times in his life And he will be unfaithful at least 3 times He loves his wife but he sometimes dreams of a better one Go-go, the average man, go-go
DG5CC/G7 What are you looking for, average man? DG5CC/G7 What are you looking for, average man? DG5CC/G7 What are you looking for, average man? DG5CC/G7 What are you looking for, average man?
(quick change back to Cm)
continue that sequence all through the song
rest of the lyrics: The average man will spend 3 hours Watching moving images on TV ev'ryday He spends £20 a week on drinkin' and cigarettes But ev'ry man says he will give up one day
And he is unhappy with his general appearance And will spend over 3000 hours shaving in the mirror He has a face but he sometimes dreams of a better one Go-go, the average man, go-go
What are you looking for, average man? What are you looking for, average man? What are you looking for, average man? What are you looking for, average man?
The average man is living for tomorrow He cared to face the limitations today Works hard on 326 days of the year For a 2 week holiday
I saw on TV bout this man from oldly Birmingham Ev'ryday he works 17 hours One day he'll come home and shoot both children And the neighbours said he was an average man
What are you looking for, average man? What are you looking for, average man? What are you looking for, average man? What are you looking for, average man?
Go-go, the average man
What are you looking for, average man? What are you looking for, average man? ....
