this is one of the first songs I recorded during this period of extreme oddness. I had given myself the mission (a) to complete it in one day and (2) get a dodgy Elvis impression into a song which ended like something from 'jam' (the Chris Morris show). I was 72 per cent successful. Cd album should be being sent out early next week - sorry for delays. Oh, and this one isn't mastered. Enjoy. I did.
lyrics
in my rush to fuck i forgot to shave
(or rather i accidentally)
accentuated a stubble rash
(so i wore a big collar and sat in the shadows)
of a weatherspoons, no - not that one
(your ex-wife works in the stock room)
if they pay her enough to look that bad
(it can't be long before she wins
don't be yourself or be replaced
you can't be condemned if you don't have a face
in my rush to fuck i learned my name
(and that was the last thing I'd ever wanted)
chained myself to her in the middle of a howling gale
(and she read my lips)
good god i said what a woman got pause like a woman got claws
(but i never made time to disciplined)
don't be yourself or be replaced
you can't be condemned if you don't have a face
there are cracks in the curtains and creases in corners
that previously bored us
call to your prison guard, show him your scars
and maybe he'll piss on them
don't kid yourself you've signed a contract with a broken pen
and your dreams don't work

A group that I know only too well, I’ve been with them for nearly 30 years; from their Glaswegian basement origins to their current status as Arena band. My enthusiasm for their later output may have tempered somewhat as the mighty ‘Gwai evolved their sound to avoid pigeonholing, but there is nothing better than when they lay waste to a venue via the sheer euphoria of ‘Helicon 1’. They’re still devastating live and, after all those years, THE authority in Instrumental Rock music. Logen Ninefingers
