Patching is a small village and civil parish that lies amidst the fields and woods of the southern slopes of the South Downs in the Arun District of West Sussex, England. It has a history going back to before the Domesday survey of 1087[citation needed]. It is located four miles (6.4 km) to the east of Arundel, to the north of the A27 road. The civil parish covers an area of 846.12 hectares (2,090.8 acres) and has a population of 230 persons (2001 census).
In the centre of the village is the 13th century Church of St John the Divine, restored in 1888. Above the village on the South Downs are groups of neolithic flint mines, represented by slight hollows and mounds.
Michelgrove Park, once the site of a great house where Sir William Shelley entertained Henry VIII and later home of the Shelley Baronets, lies in the north of the parish. It is crossed by the Monarch's Way long-distance footpath marking the supposed route of Charles II's flight to France in 1651.
Bitching 'bout the things we've seen
Bitching 'bout the things we've seen
Bitching 'bout the loves we've had
My oh my, it wasn't so bad
When we had that to loosen our minds
Hey, little baby, in the front row be kind
(Bar bitching)
Telling you the gospel truth
(Bar bitching)
Why don't you all go get screwed?
(Bar bitching)
Why don't you tell me something new?
(Bar bitching)
Bar bitching
Bitching 'bout the Windsor C
Bitching 'bout the Western Sea
Why can't you all be like a Grainger man
Or even a Pheland man?
I'll tell you what we'll meet in Amsterdam
And then you'll see what should be really can
(Bar bitching)
Telling you the gospel truth
(Bar bitching)
Why don't you all go get screwed?
(Bar bitching)
Why don't you tell me something new?
(Bar bitching)
Bar bitching, that's what I'm talking about
Got anything to say?
No, well, shut up
I really don't know what to say
It's gonna happen to us all one day
And when it does you can have me too
But until then I really don't know what to do
I'm just gonna keep
(Bar bitching)
Telling you the gospel truth
(Bar bitching)
Why don't you all go get screwed?
(Bar bitching)
Why don't you tell me something new?
There's a place with a lot of eyes
Strange smoke perfume around the peacock guys
And the girls, they move their heat
To the impulsive compulsive beat
But that's another place another time
Maybe we'll meet there in quite a short while
(Bar bitching)
Telling you the gospel truth
(Bar bitching)
Why don't you all go get screwed?
(Bar bitching)
Why don't you tell me something new?
