Verse 1:
Got me a golden ticket, time travel avatar
They can’t tell, but I will be inside their skin
Gonna have me an adventure, Good Friday Palestine
History will happen right before my eyes

Verse 2:
Not just entertainment as I enter the containment
They hook me up, pump something in to keep me calm
Precision destination, long distance information
It locks onto emotion, I wonder who I’ll be?

Bridge:
Matty’s pulling levers, Mark is moving dials
Luke is taking readings but Jonny just  smiles

Verse 3:
Then I’m in a woman’s body, my head is in my hands
My tears are welling up and my womb is twisted tight
I hear hammering and screaming, I wish I wasn’t here
My boy is being crucified, I smell blood and sweat and fear

Chorus:
I need that golden ticket
I need that golden ticket
I need that golden ticket
Out of here

Verse 4:
Now I’m hanging high and breathing hard, the sun is in my eyes
I’ve got skewers in my joints and I am bleeding out
My family is watching, while I’m naked and ashamed
Praying for the end to come through all this pain

Chorus:
I need that golden ticket
I need that golden ticket
I need that golden ticket
Out of here

Verse 5:
(extended)
Jangling kaleidoscopes and vortex tunnel lights
I’m going home but I don’t know if I am him or me
Flashing through the centuries and feeling the distress
I’m a starving baby staring at an empty breast

I’m a heretic who’s roasting on a fire
I’m a soldier in a battle as the bayonet goes in
I’m a little girl receiving rusty razor on my skin

All the darkness swirling round, the cruelty, brutality
I’m perceiving and receiving all the horror and the sorrow
The crying and the lying and denying of tomorrows

Chorus:
I need that golden ticket
I need that golden ticket
I need that golden ticket
Out of here

Verse 6:
”Welcome back” says Matty, Mark says “That was wild”
Luke says “Look on the bright side”, and Jonny he just smiles
You’re gonna need debriefing, do some meet and greet
Take the edge off with some wine, here have some bread to eat

Chorus:
I need that golden ticket
I need that golden ticket
I need that golden ticket
Out of here

Two in the Bar is a Derby-based 60’s-oriented rock ’n’ roll & pop male duo with a smattering of country on the side. 

Taking their inspiration from the British Merseybeat sound, the emphasis is on jangly guitars, catchy melody, and danceability.

They perform live with vocals, bass and electric guitars supported by custom-recorded backing tracks.

The line-up includes Andy Meek and Granville Marsden who have been playing guitar and performing separately on and off in various groups since - well let’s just say they can remember these songs from the first time round!

The band can entertain out loud in a concert-style performance, or provide more ambient music for social settings. Recent work has included private parties and charity fundraisers.
