This track features a sample that I recorded of the Hari Krishna dancing, singing and making music around Covent Garden on New Years Eve.

This track also features a number of manipulated coughs, splutters and shouts of a tannoy announcer deafening the public through a distorted speaker in St Pancreas station.

geek porn: SP-404, Moog Minitaur, cheap melodica, live drums, sampled drums, Yamaha ‘whistle’ sound through vox wah, various vocal samples, various soft synths. Most played live, stemmed, manipulated, stemmed and manipulated.

Written, performed and produced by Damiki.
Mastered by Tom Woodhead at Hippocratic Mastering.

Before you got the tan, before I became a man
We used to be alive
Before you got the tan, before I became a man
Do you remember?

Your long legs racing me through cyclone winds
Your boyish physique and athleticism key
My weak knees caving every time
Admiration and fascination, my best friend.

Our hands covered in felt tip
Our clothes were dashed with mud
Our faces flushed with spring-tide
Our nails were bitten short.

Before you got the tan, before I became a man
We used to be alive
Before you got the tan, before I became a man
Do you remember?

Your strong arms pegging me up into trees
Your tenacity and adventurousness key
My sidekick- how we beat the rap
All those secrets that you’re still keeping, my best friend.

Our hands covered in felt tip
Our clothes were dashed with mud
Our faces flushed with spring-tide
Our nails were bitten short.

Before you got the tan, before I became a man
We used to be alive
Before you got the tan, before I became a man
Do you remember?
