DON’T EVEN TRY
A lifestyle change in a shooting range
A tightened vein tastes like cheap champagne
It’s hard to find such a troubled mind
So don’t even try

A screaming ear hears it’s oh so near
A comforting hand in another land
Will no doubt betray and it’s so far away
So don’t even try, don’t even try

Oh so likely it’s just another phase
You had to so much you just forget to read through
Small print that always follows satisfaction
Confession erection obsession
Take your mind off all you thought before
Take one step outside your closet door
You know most things aren’t worth waiting for
So don’t try, don’t try
Don’t even try

You’re stuck in a rut and you make a cut
A slice of a knife isn’t much of a life
So don’t even try, don’t even try
Don’t even try

Fun Facts:
This song is in the key of Dm and the guitar part is played using a drop-D tuning.
Don’t Even Try was performed as a live acoustic number on many occasions by George and Emma at various open mic events.

Fun Facts:
* Phoenix in the Bin is a situation that will change.
* What would happen if you put a phoenix in your bin?
* Would it fit?
* Do you suppose it would stay there long?
* What would happen when it escapes?
* Would it set fire to things?
* Can you own one?
* If so, can you throw it away?
* This piece tries to examine these issues.
* Phoenix in the Bin describes change, volatility, uncertainty, blurred scenery, alcohol, cold wet November nights, and hope.
* Originally this tune was going to be called simply In the Bin, yet somehow the image of the phoenix seemed an appropriate addition.
* Dave tuned the Plank down to a low-A tuning – the lowest note on a piano – for this number, to match the key it’s in – A minor.
* The band listened to lots of samples of fires, but most of them didn’t sound like fires at all.
* A wonderful saturation of strings occurs in the section towards the end.
* It’s quite dense, with all the cellos and guitars and reverbs.
* Phoenix in the Bin contains more audio parts than any of the other tracks on the album At Least 1000 Words.
* It also took up the most space on the hard drive.
* Even after two bounces, it still filled the memory and was tricky to mix down.
* Flicker wanted an orchestra at the beginning, but alas, none was available.
* Lots of orchestral MIDI parts, that ended up sounding absolutely dreadful, were recorded and subsequently deleted again.
* The tempo is 130BPM.

Fun Facts:
* George had made friends with a Hungarian man called Floyd who showed him a new chord from a Portuguese sea shanty.
* The mystery chord is Bm11b5.
* It is played by holding the A and G strings on the second fret with the first and second fingers, and the D and B strings on the third fret using the third and fourth fingers, with the hi-E open and the lo-E muted.
* The other two chords in the song were A minor and E.
* When George was headhunted by the MD of the company Floyd worked for, Floyd gave him a copy of Mario Puzzo’s book The Godfather, and wrote ‘Welcome to the family!’ inside the front cover.
* Obviously this piece could have no other name.
* Welcome to the Family is in the key of A minor.
* The tempo for this tune is 98.0035 BPM.
* Emma recorded an extra part on the keys that was not used in the end.
* The Stratocaster enters to play rhythm on the second verse.
* The Ice Maiden takes the twin lead parts at the end.
* Some trombone was also planned, but there were no players around at the time, so the final mix remains without it.

Flicker: Welcome to the Family

Flashback by Wud

Words by Simon Miller and George Davies.
Music by George Davies, Simon Miller and Ken Staple.
Recorded and produced by Ian Dent at Daylight Recording Studios, Honiton.
Remastered at Wud Records Studio One.

Copyright © 1985 Wud Records.
Copyright ℗ 1982 Explicit Music/Pok Songs.

Performers:
Ken Staple – voices
George Davies – guitars

FLASHBACK
Hey Mandy won’t you come out and touch me
Hey babe, won’t you ride on high
It’s getting harder to see the sunshine
You make love right through my eyes

It’s not the same without you
We can’t make the same heat without you
It’s just a fading memory
You stay away from our kind

Waking up in a wasted body
The slightest fear had ‘sturbed my fears
I feel low and I need a good friend
To help me laden through these years

It’s not the same without you
We can’t make the same heat without you
It’s just a fading memory
You stay away from our kind

Hey Mandy won’t you come out and touch me
Hey babe, won’t you ride on high
It’s getting harder to see the sunshine
You make love right through my eyes

It’s not the same without you
We can’t make the same heat without you
It’s just a fading memory
You stay away from our kind

Fun Facts:
This song is in fact Flashback Part 1.
Flashback Part 2 is a song called Hard Times that was also played by Wud.
Flashback Part 3 is the original lyrics to Flashback Part 1 with new music, a song that never made it to a band format.
The words written by Simon were initially “Hey Judas won’t you come out and touch me”.
George at that time felt uncomfortable with the religious connotations and changed “Judas” to “Mandy” and a couple of small things.
An older, wiser George regrets doing that.
These lyrics were a perfect fit for the original melody of the vocal line.
The form and structure of the solo were Simon’s, and came from a few moments of inspiration during a Fooog Dinboffin and the Release jam session.
As luck would have, we still have that recording of Fooog Dinboffin and the release and will be sharing it online at some time in the future.
Ken’s contribution to the writing of this song was the harmony vocal in the final chorus - a small, but splendid contribution.
The various tempo changes caused Ian the engineer some extra work, but he managed to press all the right buttons at the right time, so credit is due for a great job on his part.
Ken’s performance is again admirably restrained.
Guitars used on this song were the same Westone Paduak as used in That’s No Way to Pay a Bodyguard and Ken’s Flambeau acoustic, of which he was very proud indeed and never inclined to hold back when it came to bragging about it.
The distortion comes from Simon’s ancient MXR Distortion pedal, which was borrowed for the day.
It was mustard yellow and had just two knobs.
As dirt pedals go it was the business, although it sounds slightly odd plugged straight into the desk via a pre-amp.
This song subsequently evolved and gathered extra writers and performers.
It became part of the sets of Laughing Sun, The Addled Eggs, The Subterraineans and Rough Terrain.

Wud: Flashback (DD)

The Ug Song by The Ug Brothers

Words: G. Davies
Music: G. Davies/D. Danielli/G. Barbe

Recorded, engineered, mixed and produced by George Davies at Wud Records Studio Three, Fore Street, Exeter in Spring 1995.

Album art by Barb Design/Wud Records.

Copyright © 1995 Wud Records.
Copyright ℗ 1995 Ug Music/Explicit Music.

Performers:
Natalie Board – vocals
George Davies – guitar, vocals
Dave Danielli – bass, vocals
Graham Barbe – drums, vocals

THE UG SONG
Ug! Ug! Ug!
Ug! Ug! Ug!
Ug! Ug! Ug!
Ug! Ug! Ug!
Ug! Ug! Ug!

Fun Facts:
This was The Ug Brothers’ sing-along song, or as they preferred to call it, their grunt-along song.
It was usually used to close their set, and the nature of the song would often leave the crowd shouting “Ug! Ug! Ug!” after they had finished playing it, so they would usually return to the stage for more.
Most of this song is just E and F, although there is a section that Dave created where the string section of the band tried to spell ‘Ug’ on their instruments by playing G and then making a U shape of sorts by playing F-E-F.
Unfortunately this way round it actually spells “gu”, so please feel free to email us concerning musicians and their literacy levels.
This is a fairly early recording of the song as the guitar melody evolved further during the lifespan of the band.

Cute But Weird

The Ug Song

The Ug Brothers: The Ug Song

Eventually, time for a new song! This piece is about breaking free - from whatever disturbs your soul. Enjoy :)

LYRICS:

still we're here, and we're not done
waiting for the final song
'cause what we need, we never know
losing ourselves, for the show

losing all for the show
losing all for the show
losing all for the show
losing all
 
and still you're here, waiting for me
until I set the demons free
the ones that gatter all around
the ones that drag you to the ground

and I can't wait no more
and I can't wait
and I can't wait no more
and I can't wait no more

because we fear all that's unknown
we never spend our time alone
feeling empty, bored and weak
though all the world lies at our feet

all the world at our feet
all the world at our feet
all the world at our feet
all the world

I'm leaving here, I'm moving on
we're all alone but we're all one
the one that turns the world around
the one that drags you to the ground

and I can't wait no more
and I can't wait
and I can't wait no more
and I can't wait no more

I need to get free, get free
I need to get loose, get loose
I need to get free, get free
I need to get free yeah

I need to get free, get free
I need to get loose, get loose
I need to get free, get free
I need to get free from it all
