Someone sent me this video today- it’s about a bloke and his snakeskin trousers. I don’t understand the words (it’s a heavy Northern accent), but the video is very funny…

the jist of the song is about a man that doesn’t want to grow up, people keep telling him leather trousers aren’t cool any more, but the final scene, shot on twthill in caernarfon, my home town, is him singing as long as i’ve got leather trousers i’m the rock and rock star in town! lol LOVE this video, full of well known local faces, potrayed with humour and affection, one of the best videos i’ve ever come across! 
This is hilarious! Thanks for the share.
Thanks @chrome_angel, the video makes a bit more sense now! It’s great to see humour like this in Welsh media

I’ll translate when I get time😀
I didn’t catch all the words on just one listen, but what I did get was very funny. Thanks for posting. 
the time has come
to change everything
grow a ‘dads’ mustache
and sideburns like knees
sunglasses on my nose
‘squaring’ around the place
acting like the mayor
yes i own the place
‘jaming’ into the office in my tight leather
tell the boss where to stuff his job, raise 2 fingers and leave
heading back to home, the old man and woman
i won’t be home for a while so leave the door locked
chorus: they say the moon’s not made of cheese, you’ve had it to easy, they say i can’t stay in bed all day, i’ll get used to it when i get older, they say i must get married and have loads of kids, they say you have to live to be a 100, i need to learn to boil and egg…they say that leather trousers are cool any more…but not me!!
everyone’s gaping at the tight leather
women are after me, following me down pool street,
i feel like john wayne, a smell like a cow in a field
they can smell me across the menai, smell me in bangor-aye!
i want to buy a motorbike and start a proper bangor
but shut your mouth is what i get when i sing karaoke in the crown
i don’t want to change anything, it’ll all be ok,
because while i’ve got leather trousers i’m the rock and star in town!

couldn’t take to this album initially, there’s a bleakness about it that’s slightly unsettling, and the mood is a long way from his anweledig days. having listened to it a few times, in my humble opinion, gai toms is nothing short of a genius, head and shoulders above the rest in terms of lyrics and composition. now, (unfortunately for me!), it sounds like everyone else is creating music with the finess of a sledgehammer! i believe this is the second launch of this absolutely awesome album.
