lyrics

HERE COME YOUR BOY
STAR OF STAGE SCREEN AND BANDCAMP
TEENAGE BANANA
IN THE SKIN OF AN OLD TRAMP
TAKING THE TIME TO
IMPART ANCIENT WISDOM
COS I AM SO OLD
IT'S JUST POLITE TO LISTEN

I'M ROCK AND ROLL ALRIGHT
REAL ROCK AND ROLL THAT'S RIGHT!
I'M ROCK AND ROLL ALRIGHT
REAL ROCK AND ROLL THAT'S RIGHT!

ROCKING THE MIC
LIKE THE MOTHER OF MICHAEL'S
FOR THEMS WHO CAN SEE
I'M A TOWERING EYEFULL
I GATHERED SKILLS
THAT YOU CAN'T GET AT 18
WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE SON
IT WAS THE 80S

CHORUS

WHEN I WAS YOUNG
I WAS SKINNY AND ANXIOUS
THE TASTE OF THE TIME
WAS US V THE MAN THUS
THE YOUTH OF TODAY
ARE CONFORMIST AND PLACID
WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE
IT WAS MUSHROOMS AND ACID

CHORUS

HEY MR LONELY YOU AIN'T GOT NOBODY
HEY MR LONELY YOU AIN'T GOT NOBODY

PLEASE HELP AN OLD MAN
DOWN FROM HIS HIGH HORSE
YOU TAKE THE REINS
JUST REMEMBER IT'S MY HORSE
HEY I'M JUST FOOLING AROUND
WITH MY FOOL FORCE
THAT IS THE END OF THE TEXT
OF MY ROCK COURSE

about

Pete Um Cambridge, UK

"A master of the miniature electro-acoustic song-poem, a form he has more or less invented and crystallised himself, his work displays a sardonic wit combined with a healthy misanthropy, in marvellous micro-collages of voice, instruments, samples, and electronics."

Melodic, droning, quirky songs with a Fall (Mark E Smith) like singing - and nice lyrics. Appreciated more after every listening. qibote
