Upside Down On The Monkey Bars…

Sun is up – we climb out your bedroom window 
& sit on the roof of your kitchen 
& see children bouncing on their trampoline
Only interrupted by the chimes of the ice cream van
Sun is up – I hear The Stone Roses ‘Waterfall’ drifting over rooftops
& everything feels so much nicer, everything looks so much brighter 
Let’s hose down the bikes & go for a ride…

& I don’t want this day to end whilst you are here with me
& I don’t want you to go home or go in for your tea
Coz you have turned my whole world upside down as far as I can see 
So just stay hanging from these monkey bars here with me… 

Sun is up – see the pigeons jostling on the Car Wash roof
We watch the insects buzzing here & there & everywhere busying themselves in the summer air - I beat my personal best at ‘Keepy-uppy’
Sun is up – it’s a vest & shorts & flip flops kinda day
Beer garden weather – tattoo’s on display
People mowing lawns & whiling away their day in different ways

& I don’t want this day to end whilst you are here with me
& I don’t want you to go home or go in for your tea
Coz you have turned my whole world upside down as far as I can see 
So just stay hanging from these monkey bars here with me…

'Wry Genius' -Mojo Magazine

Congratulations, you have stumbled across The Sturmey Archers time capsule that has lain buried beneath the Soundcloud sunken garden since the beginning of the 21st century. No doubt you are reading this from a future where music has become just that stuff in the background of funny video clips of dogs and babies. But historians amongst you will probably of heard of a time when music actually meant something to people. 

In the second decade of the 21st century a law was passed that decreed that all lyrics to songs should be about 'this night being the one' and stuff about 'putting your hands in the air'. These were strange times when songs about unique thoughts that sprung into individual's minds were considered retro, but musicians that copied German bands from thirty years previously were thought to still be original.

It was in the context of these times that small groups of renegade songwriters decided to carry on with the virtues of rock and pop's golden age and actually write songs about things, thoughts, feelings and other stuff. These were sometimes profound and and sometimes silly, but the words meant something, the music was playful and adventurous, and the tunes could be whistled by milkmen if they ever got the chance to hear them. They were on a mission to be at the very least, mildly entertaining.

Eminent musicologists of the time scoured the planet to find examples of this music that wasn't rubbish so they could bury it for future generations to enjoy. You now, the lucky archaeologist and future pop picker, have in your grasp the key to a world of wry world play, mad thoughts and old fashioned chord progressions. N.B. If Apes have taken over the planet, sorry for all the trouble we've caused.

Been in bands since I was 14, like all kinds of music, but I like to make more experimental music than anything else. I also host Into The Unknown on Mixcloud.
