We All Had Doctors' Papers
We All Had Doctors' Papers is a live album by Welsh comedian and singer Max Boyce, first issued in 1975 and recorded at Pontarddulais Rugby Club. It was his fourth album release and followed his break through recording Live at Treorchy. The album contains a mixture of comedic and traditional songs, along with Boyce's interactions with the crowd. Two songs on the album, Sospan Fach and Ar Lan y Môr, are in the Welsh language. It is the only comedy album to have topped the UK Albums Chart.
Album
We All Had Doctors' Papers is a live recording similar to Boyce's recording of the previous year Live at Treorchy. Just as Live at Treorchy was recorded at the town's local rugby club, Boyce continued his connection with the sport of rugby union by recording We All Had Doctors' Papers at Pontarddulais Rugby Club. The album was recorded in one take over one night. The album title comes from the song 9-3 which appeared on Live at Treorchy. Celebrating Llanelli RFC's 1972 win over New Zealand, the lyrics of the fourth verse follow; But we all had doctors' papers, and they all said just the same, that we all had Scarlet Fever, and we caught it at the game.

We All
by: AphasiaWith a gun to your head
You still wouldn't change the way you are.
And I can see your callous dreams are the reason for your greed
They are all the same - always dying to attain success and wealthiness behind closed doors
We All are fighting so hard to make you see
That we all want more than your superficial dreams
We are most mysterious creatures to kill for what we believe
We all want more
So wrap your arms around me tight
I know it's hard for you to hear
But failure is a just part of life - is harder than it seems
Cause if we were meant to fly, why are wings so hard to come by
Close the door
We All are fighting so hard to make you see
That we all want more than your superficial dreams
We are most mysterious creatures to kill for what we believe
We all want more
Left behind, life is so unkind
Why even try
We All are fighting so hard to make you see
We are most mysterious creatures to kill for what we believe
We All will open our hearts and share our dreams
We All are fighting hard to make you see
That we all want more than your superficial dreams
We are most mysterious creatures to kill for what we believe
