Pictures Of Matchstick Men

In the days before, I don’t know if I understood
When you said what you said, when I first saw you
In the John Peel bar that night 

In the days before, I knew I loved you, as soon as you spoke 
And there was nothing we needed to say
That night, at the Camden Palace St Valentine’s 

And we will not grow old; and we will not diminish 
And we will not be aged by the corrosive agents of time
We will not be stained by the filth of degradation
Nor crushed by the humiliation of indignity   
And we will endure, and we will be constant
And we will carousel in the wheel of time
And we will swim in the eroticism of beauty
And we will lie in the cradle of our ancestors  
And there we will continuously be reborn
Until the last time,
When we will be seen, to have survived.

The John Peel Bar

No one told us, when we were still young,
There’d be no buses after ten.
Hitched down a truck; he said, you can get a ride,
You can get up with my dogs and my gun.

We looked up to the stars, with the wind in our hair;
Not quite sure who put them there.
But it’s cold at night in just a skinny motif shirt,
But no one told us we had to care.

Next day, somehow we got back home,
And everything seemed the same.
But no one told us what we started that night,
Coz’ no one speaks in a dream.

Well I’m older now,
And I’m supposed to reap what I sowed.
But if there’s anyone made any sense of it,
No one told me; but I’d like to know.
Yeah, I’m older now,
And I’m supposed to reap what I sow.
But if anyone out there made any sense of it,
They never told me, so I don’t know.

A lot of people, myself included, have commented on the similarities between "Under The Westway" and "A Whiter Shade Of Pale", but until I tinkered, I hadn't realised *exactly* how close they were - same tempo, same key (C major, I think)... although Blur cut the last bar of each verse three measures short to achieve a rolling, overlapping effect.

Didn't need to do more than a minute for you to get the idea... 

I do like "Westway" a lot, and, well, "Whiter Shade" was heavily influenced by Bach, so as usual, round and round the riffs we go...
