4th track on my album. Hopefully helps calm proceedings after a fairly up tempo opening 3.

Lyric:

She don’t see him
Red lights she runs through 
Amber sunrise
Wish she’d seen him too

Pastel pallet picture 
Painted by a ghost
The Motor running 
Leaving him for toast

And boy he’s crazy
He don’t understand 
You don’t catch the fish
You set out to land

And that boy he’s lazy
Too tired for pain
An ache that never leaves
And no one he can blame

And boy he’s crazy
He don’t understand 
The  road splits in many paths
More than grains of sand

Now he can see her
But the face is just a blur 
Speeding weaving
The journeys end obscure 

She don’t want presents 
She don’t need no man
Fingers in velvet
Or sensual sex in a sued sedans

And boy he’s crazy
He don’t understand 
The  road splits in many paths
More than grains of sand

And that boy he’s lazy
Too tired for pain
An ache that never leaves
And no one he can blame

Is it you?
Are you there?
Would you come if I cried?

He barely tries to catch her
His body torn and strained
She never looks his way
And his heart can’t be contained 

She slows to see a friend
He sees the friends aflame 
He lets her drive away
He needs to know her name

Dear Mr Thyme
Can I have a little more? 
Dear Mr Thyme
I’m slipping through your claw
I had a peek just yesterday 
And I didn’t like what I saw 
So Dear Mr Thyme
Can I have a little more?

Dear Mr Thyme
I’m seasoned and I’m prepped
Dear Mr Thyme
The salt’s from where I’ve wept
I’ve been absorbed with the spice of life
And the secrets I have kept
Dear Mr Thyme
A lifetime I have slept 

You saw me birthed into this world right here
You stayed and held me when the nights were long and sky was clear 

Mr - it’s a crime
You captured me 
My sentence is up now
Mr - you’re a line
A to B
To be or not to

Dear Mr Thyme
Could there be another way
Dear Mr Thyme
Is there something I can say
To turn the clock or break the hand
That guides me to this day
Oh Dear Mr Thyme
Could there be another way

You saw me birthed into this world right here
You stayed and held me when the nights were long and the sky was clear 

Mr - it’s a crime
You captured me 
My sentence is up now
Mr - you’re a line
A to B
To be or not to
Mr - you’re looking fine
The time's been kind
I got to tell you
Mr - Mr Thyme
I beg a moment
A measly moment

Mr...

Dear Mr Thyme

You listen to silence 
As the clouds grow warm
You listen in silence 
As the vultures swarm 

Because you cannot handle all the things you see
You just hide in the familiar 
Because you cannot cope with being scared and free
You ridicule the peculiar 

And so you listen to silence
And the clouds grow warm
Yes you listen in silence 
As the vultures swarm 

But I’ll be peculiar 
I will be unique
I will be original 
So go fuck your clique

Peculiar

The King was on his horse
His castle far away
He attacked his foe with force
And left them where they lay
They died without a hope
Of seeing their wives again
Oh yes, the king was proud
As he rode on through the rain
He knew that blood was never spilt in vain

And all of his people feared for what they had
For the King would take it from them
And they knew it made him glad
To see the hate in their eyes
As he rode past them day and night
He loved to see the sight
Of death in their lies
And hands poised on knives

Then one night, 
The King was in his bed
And a peasant came
Held a knife to his head
And waited till he cried
“Don’t let the things I’ve done
Hold too much sway
I’ll be a better man
I’ll let you have your way”
But the peasant slit his throat
Chuckling at his gargled pain
For like the King, he knew
Blood was never spilt in vain
And cursing King and name
He threw the body into the rain

King's Blood

I’ve played this song for many years
I got the girl, though she disappears
Another verse, another rhyme
Maybe she’ll come back sometime?
The same old beat the same old bar
Seems I didn’t get very far

Busted tables and broken cues
Every line I sing is one I had to choose
So there’s no hiding place
I must accept my fate

Go man go
You’ve got to do this for us
Go man go
Such a lonely chorus
Go man go
The girl is waiting
Go man go
While the world’s rotating 

Call me a man
But what’s that mean?
I’m a groundhog
When I dream
I could run just to chase the sun 
But I’d never know it’s embrace
I’m just atoms floating in space 

Don't give up!

I sing this song to end my days
Mopping floors cause cleaning pays
4/4 time as I dance with dirt
Shame toilet duck can’t erase the hurt
A melody that’s much the same
A time sig that just won’t change

I guess I wrote the song
And it’s my fault if it’s wrong
No more blame
I’ll change my tune and proclaim…

Go man go
There’s a love inside you
Go man go
You have work to do
Go man go
There’s a new horizon 
Go man go
You have just begun 
Go man go
The crowd aren’t jeering
Go man go
That’s the chorus singing
Go man go
Peace and love to all
Go man go
So stand tall

Key change!

Go Man Go

My heart will hold on
I will never sing goodbye
As long there’s a song
Love doesn’t die

From the other side of silence
(and the gnawing pain)
I send my soul to you
(I still feel the same)
I love you
I love you

Perhaps I feared it wasn’t real
And it was my tomorrow you sought to steal
But in the dark hidden from your light
I couldn’t see the clearest sight 

Oh I love you
Yes I love you
And I don’t need the world to see
Just what you mean to me
You mean the whole damn world to me
Your love is enough
Your love is enough
I will wait for you, my love
Your love is enough
Your love is enough.

Your Love Is Enough

The life that is lost in the ether
Spread so thin it is toast
Is missed in the family history 
Like a parasite to the host 

Trying to hide while it’s flirting
Will leave life behind on the train
It moves but does not choose its station
It cannot hide from the pain 

So sing this song
And sing it all as one we know we’re 
Holding on
On for just as long as we can
Sing this song
And sing it all as one 
For the day will come 
When we can’t hold on

Drop the philosophy 
It is not helping me
Feed all the lives in my charge
I struggle 
To make my two ends meet
I’ll die on my two feet
My problem growing too large 
I struggle

How can I care when I cannot keep the lights on
Plan for a future when I can’t see where it comes from 
Do I dream of a day not draped in loss?

I’ll tell you what I want and who I hope comes by
Fucking God with a shitty story sad sigh
Cry my river and I’ll get on your cross
Cos your the boss

So sing this song
And sing it all as one we know we’re 
Holding on
On for just as long as we can
Sing this song
And sing it all as one 
For the day will come 
When we can’t hold on
You will hold on
And I will try
But Mother Earth 
Plays melodies 
That lie

Listen my son
I should have told you 
Before the end of my days
You are you
And there’s nothing to do
But sing this song in your way
There’s a voice that doubts it
It calls to us all
But you belong
At the heart of the song 
So come my son, now don’t fall

Earth be my mother
Make me another
Spare me all this pain
My life is a torment
Agony is my rent 
I pay to see the next day

I am down
Hold on my son
I am down
Hold on my son

So sing this song
And sing it all as one we know we’re 
Holding on
On for just as long as we can
Sing this song
And sing it all as one 
For the day will come 
When we can’t hold on
You will hold on
And I will try
But Mother Earth 
Plays melodies 
That lie

Holding On

The pain you feel
May not seem a big deal
To those who don’t think to care
But to those who do
Think the world of you
They hate that the pain is there

While some might ask
For yet another task
To be done before you cook tea
Others will say
‘How was your day?
And please leave that job to me’

Some may think
That when they blink
The world ceases to exist
While I only see
A woman strong and free
By whom I dearly want to be kissed

But these others do not matter
And I matter less
The woman is the key
To the door she must address
I might hold a candle
To illuminate the lock
If she need me do it
I’d be brave enough to knock
But to place the key inside
And turn it all the way around
That is her choice to do
Though, I’d ask her what she found

I’d hope that she found peace
I’d hope that she could see
That the person she always was
Is the person she needs to be

That though she dug and buried
And hid inside the dark
I saw her light shining
The brightest ever spark
I knew that she was burning
With the fire fuelled by life
I knew that I’d be lucky
To ever call her wife

Now if she opens that door
And walks away from me
I will shed so many tears
But still be happy that she is free

I know that I’m no hero
I know I’m weak, flawed and broken
But if only for those months
I’d be so glad that we had spoken
I’d be grateful for every smile
I’d be proud of every laugh
And every once in awhile
I would sing on her behalf
It would be a song of sadness
A song of loss and pain
But hidden in the melody
I would live our love again

So go my love
Be brave and open that door
And know that whatever happens
I could never love you more.
I will be there if you need me
I will go if you do not
Either way, you’re in my heart
And you will never be forgot
As long as I draw breath
As long as songbirds sing
My love for you will live
As the strongest, purist thing
You may think that I exaggerate
But oh my love, you’ll see
That what I feel for you will last
Beyond eternity

And if you think I’ve messed up
With all these words, I’ve spun
Remember, that no matter how you love me
I love you, Infinity +1

Hidden In The Melody

The house is frozen
The silence crying out
The ether is broken
The heathen is devout 

A floor that tells a tale
Rug misshapen and moved
A knife that tore the vail
Blood runs still and removed 

A cup lies empty and fallen
Betrayed of glugs and sips 
A love that died in silence 
Upon these cold lips.

Rain smacks the haunted window 
Wind rushes warmth away.
Food still cooks and crisps, by looks
Whilst all the while you lay.

You look up at the beam
The wood so old and strong
Dead but just so rested
As to hold the house so long.
Hard to be so passive 
Let all rest on you in trust
When weight holds you heavy
And will fall to slight adjust. 

A heavy hue of nothing
Pulls and strips and rips
The air now pressing harsh and hard
Upon these cold lips

A fire burns in bitterness 
Snapping at the sight
Of all that has befallen 
This dark and dreadful night.
I bend to reach lower
Now falling, bereft of mind 
To view in flickered half-light
The shell you leave behind

I hold these hands in mine
And place them on my hips
Through weep and woe I kiss and kiss
Upon these cold lips.

These Cold Lips (Demo)

Tortured tempting touch
I’m joyfully upset
Want away woman
I love you so damn much
I want what I can’t get
Want away woman
You draw me like a pop star pulls a crowd
Want away woman
You free me like the sun burns through a cloud

You make me want to
You give me what I 
You make me scream out loud

I love you
And that will always be true 
I need you
My love will always be true
I want you
And that will always be true

I hold you in my heart 
Our souls will never part
And I will make you see

Woman, I’m standing here
Our time will come so don’t fear 
We spin 'round the sun
And our love has begun
So trust that our time is near

Woman, the future’s set
So please don’t cry and sweat 
I want to shout
My true love out
But I know that we’re not there yet 

Inches, minutes, papers
Keeping us apart
Want away woman 
Duty abound in acres
Don’t impact on my heart 
Want away woman
You enrich me like the sugar in my tea
Want away woman
You see me like no one has ever seen 

You make me want to
You make me what I 
You make me scream out loud

I love you
And that will always be true 
I need you
My love will always be true
I want you
And that will always be true

I hold you in my heart 
Our souls will never part
And I will make you see

Love!

Woman
There’s a billion words
 I want to say to you
But I’m sorry to say
That on this hot day
This song will have to do 
Woman
My love is deep
My love is strong 
My love won’t end 
With the end of this song

Want Away Woman (Demo)

Embers of memories crackle in the dark
When woe wakes them to ignite

But burning at the sight
One's focus is set
The truth is too bright
Remember to forget

Let pain starve oxygen from the spark
And shroud light in the quiet night

Remember To Forget

I love you
Get better
I love you
Get better
I love you
Get better
I love you
Get better

You would sing to me over the hills
Your voice as strong as your will
We would talk, a promise of a walk
But now you’re imprisoned by the pills

Our love may be a silent one
Our hearts trapped in our chests
But know I’d give my life for you
As truest love attests

I love you
Get better
I love you
Get better
I love you
Get better
I love you
Get better

You know I feel the life you’ve lost
Even though our stars are crossed
I hold out hope it don’t end there
You know I sleep with you at night
Though I’ve never held you tight
To never dream would seem unfair

I’ve never known a thing so true
As what I feel inside
I know I’ve found my match in you
I do not wish to hide
All this love
All this love

Yet you grow weaker
You turn off your speaker
Your world closes in on your head
And I try to be careful
Not slip up on Pridefall
I mind every word that is said
I feel
All this love
All this love

I love you
Get better
I love you
Get better
I love you
Get better
I love you

I only want to see your face
But I’m back at my starting place
How can I take it anymore?
Well I can answer that
And it’s a simple fact
I love you to my very core/
You would sing to me over the hills
Your voice as strong as your will
We would talk, a promise of a walk
But now you’re imprisoned by the pills

Our days lay before our two souls
No choice is made but ours
The pain you feel I cannot heal
I do not have such powers
But I have strength
That gods would crave
I use it every day
I’ll do whatever you need, love
It’s your life I wish to save/
I care
I will be there
You’re not alone
My darling, love

I love you
Get better
I love you
Get better
I love you
Get better
I love you
Get better

Get Better

You sit in your home
Sans fun
Sans stairs
Baldilocks and the three hairs
You mount your zimmer
You used to be a sinner
Now your glued to your chairs
Baldilocks and the three hairs

Baldilocks and the Three Hairs

I stubbed my toe
Like y’do y’know?
I’m a regular Joe
Ignore my basement

It’s like they say
Tomorrow’s another day 
Relax, you can stay
Down in the basement

Life can hold you down
And so can I 

You got such a pretty face
And the wolf smiles with you
Do you like this dirty place
Cos I think it suits you
Here have a trifle
Here have an eyeful 

Dadda gotta smack
‘til I grew too big and I hit him back
Mamma gotta play
‘til the filth came took her play away
You can’t fix me
But I can break you

I’m all alone
Just the snap of your bones
They say bricks build homes
But look at my basement

The walls are straight 
But it’s too late
Twisted by hate
Inside my basement 

You might lock me up for good 
Like I’ve got you now 
My pain’s not understood
But I’ll show you now
Just what I feel
This is my will

Now I gotta smack
‘til I rip the skin off the camels back
Now I gotta play
Cos no one else will play my way
You can’t fix me
But I can break you

Ignore My Basement (Demo)

Four Pilchards For A Panda

I want to believe in
True love
I want to breath in
True love
But every time you break my heart
You tear my very soul apart
I want to believe in
True love

(I'll tell you)

I want to feel your
True love
A kiss will seal your
True love
But every time I call for you
Your words don’t match the things you do
I want to feel your
True love

I
Choose
To be deceived by you

You
Choose
To use me as you do

(Don't take it all away)

Please forgive me
I don’t really mean these words
(I'm just so scared)
Please understand me
My hopes have blown with the birds

I want to be free of
True love
(I don't really mean...)
I don’t want the key of
True love
(I want our dream)
So every time I want to die
I’ll only give a silent sigh
I want to be free of
True love

Before you I was a lonely man
Believing my future dead
Now I see you offer hope
I turn it around in my head

(Round and around)

Please forgive me
The shadows shape my voice
Please understand me
I want you to tell me your choice

I give my love
I give my soul
I pause my life
I forgo control
(I want you)
You know my pain
(I love you)
As I know yours
(I want you)
I’d see you free
(I love you)
Even if you leave me

Do
I
Choose
To be deceived by you

Do
You
Choose
To use me as you do

(I pray you love me
I pray you do)

I want to believe in
True love
I want you and me in
True love
But every time I make a move
You tell me all the things you’ll loose
I want to believe in
True love

The Teacher Broke My Pencil (Recorded 2008)

It ended at the beginning,
Before the song could even start,
But it was the richest moment of the poorest heart.

Sitting in the corner,
Accepting of the dark,
Tapping with his fingers,
So much to leave a mark.
He knew that life would pass him,
And death welcome without grace,
All before he saw her,
And walls gave way to space.

Music was unmuted.
Dark gave way to light.
Fatigue was shred asunder,
Endowed with strength to fight.

It ended at the beginning,
Before the song could even start,
But it was the richest moment of the poorest heart.

She sung unto the masses,
A spotlight as her crown.
Her words flew as birds,
And spread across the town,
But only he could hear them,
In form of truest love.
He stepped from out his corner,
And joined the throng above.

It ended at the beginning,
Before the song could even start,
But it was the richest moment of the poorest heart.

He felt the moving pulse,
The rhythm and the beat,
Of all the many others,
Dancing with their feet.
He danced a different manner,
His heart and soul attuned,
A harmony of heaven,
And impossible to wound.
There her eyes met his,
Most brief, but so they did.
He took his special moment,
And ran and ran and hid.

It ended at the beginning,
Before the song could even start,
But it was the richest moment of the poorest heart.

The Poorest Heart (1+1)

I try to moralise
But he talks me down 
I try to sympathise 
And he only frowns
Oh my mucker my buddy my mate
He sits on his thrown
But no one is guarding the gate

You’re hard work, for sure. You don’t see:
The platform of birth, of colour, of sex
Of school, of money, of so many effects?

I try to see in his eyes
But shallow waters have no depth 
They only reflect
A mirror to a broken world
Backward
So easily manufactured 
And yet easier to break

Send Them Back (Recorded 2012)

Back in time
150 
million years ago
Archaeopteryx
 is up to tricks
In the canopy 
His wings he flicks
Y’know 
Y’know 
Looking for a juicy bug
Stegosaurus wonder past
Mammals dug a den
Hearts are beating fast
But will they last?

Only halfway through the dinosaurs long day
Is there really that much I can find to say?

Feathers on the wings
These are newly flying things
Though the birds will really take flight
Easy to miss 
Is Allosaurus Fragilis 
Hiding in the tree line out of sight 
Hold on tight 

Ceratosaurus is the dinosaur we want to see
A nose crest has to be the best, can we agree?

Archaeopteryx 
Has had his big bug nicked
He may be a dinosaur
But that don’t stop a lizards jaw
Tasting victory 
Catastrophe 
Stegosaurus takes a dump
And I won’t do a joke about his rump
Even though I could rhyme arse
Well, shit  - that came to pass

Another day in prehistory
Bring a book and why not stay for tea?

Back In Time

The lights turn out
as you head to bed
I must stay a while
Now rest your head

Alone in darkness
In daylight drowned
My little Prince you rest uncrowned
And if I close my eyes
and think of yours
I can believe your safe and sound

No, no thoughts you'll think
or scars you'll borrow
Forget my pain and haunted sorrow
Yes take your troubles and count them double
Go on son and I will follow

You're always there
A looming empty chair
And yet you've left
A death so deftly theft.

Let the old moles burrow
Let them plough their own furrow
Let the whole world rot away and leave me to my sorrow
Let me steal let me borrow
Never wake me on the morrow
Let the whole world have their say,
Go on son - I will follow

You're always there
A looming empty chair
And yet you've left
A death so deftly theft

You know I pray that that
You do know that
I will follow
I will follow
I will follow
I will follow

I Will Follow

Hold the fort now there’s the good guys coming
Marching from far away
They saw the tears of black oil running
Down your face onto the field of

 Play dirty games 
Naughty boy
They change their names
But it’s the same old ploy

They use their friend as weapon 
As a cat to catch the mouse
They see your neck and so they step on
Until you hand the keys of your house

Play dirty games 
Naughty boy
You are the one I want to see
They change their names
But it’s the same old ploy

The boy ain’t so naughty
No he’s not so bad
If you heard his story
He’s just a lad


Ba Ba didn’t dye his wool
He grew it long and strong
Ba Ba ain’t no 2D fool
He sees what you do wrong 

So hold the fort now the brave boys coming
Just ensure your out of the way
Hero’s don’t care what flag you're waving 
It’s  the colour of your skin they slay

Play dirty games 
Naughty boy
You are the one I want to see
They change their names
But it’s the same old ploy

Naughty Boy (Demo)

A short instrumental section for a pretentious long song I've just started on - hopefully it will work in context  🤪... it's fair to say I struggled with the fingerpicking - needs work 😬

Oh Thou Forsaken (demo)

Another potential section for a potentially pretentious protracted piece.

Heart Of... (demo)

Another blank canvas section for the longer song I'm working on.

Insane With Pain (demo)

It seemed as though a vision of
Old hell befell to me
Though I bathed in your light
The darkness made me see
A shadow cast by branches
All old and wise and strong
I sat beneath its' fruit all day
And tempted by its song
I stayed

Have you seen today’s Daily Mail?
They are trying to turn our children into cats!
You know all those woke people? 
Being all woke?
Bloody woke people!
I mean, why should we have to tolerate other peoples' deeply health beliefs?
Ridiculous!

But what about my beliefs
They’re cultured, good and true
I believe that my ears
Shouldn’t need to hear from you
I’m white and I’m winning
So don’t take the die from me
It’s weighted in my favour 
So there’s motive there, you see?

Do you not think you’re lucky to be born where you were? 

It’s just geography !

The Old Country

The Old Country (Demo)

A rough demo - vocals were a once through guide that never got improved as the project stagnated - plenty of wrong notes... and points I hadn't even written the lyrics yet so ad-libbed! 🤪

S:
This ship I see with casual care
Flits your roving eye
I see in metal
Your love for flesh
But in our bed you lie
But on sea bed you’ll lie (I popped this in as a thought for if there was a reprise of this piece later in the musical! 🤪)
My love I hear of fire within
That burns your iron heart for worse
I plead you heed this one warning
This ship does have a curse
L:
Darling I implore you
What you see
Is but the merest start
A fleet of merry cruises
Across the sea that steels my iron my heart
S:
The men say the corners cut are sharp
I see at night Blood will spill and lungs will fill - oh please don’t depart
What good is all this metal against the power of the ocean?
L:
My sweetest you're too sweet to see
Titanic is your mirrored soul
Grandness and grace
There’s no space to waste
This ship it makes us whole
S:
Thomas, there a shadow, love
It’s keeping us apart
If you leave upon that ship
You’ll drown that iron heart
A ghost a curse a shadow
Thomas, It’s blinding you from me
L
It’s the ship that they say will not sink

L+S
Oh, we wish that were true

L:
No daunting dive into the drink that’s so deep

S:
Why do you think she won’t sink?

L+S
Oh, we wish that were true

S:
Have you prayed to the Lord to keep you from the brink?

L+S
Oh, we wish that were true
S:
Look at the prow
Do you think god would allow
Mankind to conquer the seas?
Be humble my love
There’s power above
And demons in waters that freeze
L:
Mary do not worry
I’ve designed this ship
With techniques safe and smart
Whether sea’s too high
Or tears in side
I will guard my iron heart

L+S: My iron heart.

S: A world of woe and folly
L+S: My iron heart
S: Hear The cannons loose a volley
My iron heart
A new low on the chart
My iron heart
With No chance to restart

L:
Darling I implore you
What you see
Is but the merest start
A fleet of merry cruises
Across the sea that steels my iron my heart

S:
A ghost a curse a shadow
Thomas, It’s blinding you from me
If you leave upon that ship
You’ll loose your grip
You shan’t return from sea
L:
Right, I’ll be off
S:
Thomas, please don’t go
L:
Look we’ve been through this
S:
You hear me, but you don’t listen
L:
Good Lord Mary, I listen. The Titanic is the most advanced ship ever built.
S:
And what’s that going to count for out there?
L:
Look, I have to go
S:
I know, but you’re not going alone Thomas. I will not let you succumb to this fate. I will follow you to the depths of the ocean If I need. I will board the Titanic.

Last Breath (Demo)

Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?
It took me years to write, will you take a look?
It's based on a novel by a man named Lear
And I need a job
So I wanna be a paperback writer


It's a dirty story of a dirty man
And his clinging wife doesn't understand
His son is working for the Daily Mail
It's a steady job
But he wants to be a paperback writer
Paperback writer


If you really like it you can have the rights
It could make a million for you overnight
If you must return it you can send it here
But I need a break
And I wanna be a paperback writer
Paperback writer

Paperback Writer (Beatles Cover - Demo)

Another section for this longer piece of mine that may or may not get finished 🤪

Trials Of Love Part 4 (demo)

He realises love is letting go of the need he has for home
He wants to see her free and knows to be she needs to walk this path alone
He tried to show the way but every day she drifted further from his view
He realises love is letting go of the me in place of you

So I’ll do this for you
I’ll prove my love true
I will place you first
So you are reborn anew

I’ll hold my love tight
While you fight your fight
But I’ll always be here
And my love will shine bright

I know you are scared
I know how you’ve fared
In a life of abuse 
So you must be repaired

But you’re not alone 
The dice are not thrown
Don’t gamble on life
When loves seed is grown…

We’ll stand tall
Side by side
We’ll stand tall
Where once we cried
We’ll stand tall
Hand in hand
We’ll stand tall
Unified

I realise I do not need to be another man for I am me
And if you love my soul I trust that you are right in what you say you see
I know that you will find the strength
To look into that mirror and see who you deserve to be
To realise that love is letting go
Letting go
Letting go
So you're free

Letting Go (Demo)

Formed inside the singularity, (there was nothing else to do - or indeed time to do it in) The Corking Crack Band really burst onto the scene with the Big Bang. 
 Dormant through sheer ugly lethargy, they evolved their ideas inside the primordial soup: not, you understand, the same primordial soup that you evolved from - this primordial soup was of a much higher quality; You are minestrone to The CCB’s truffle infused lobster bisque.
   Having existed for millennia and absorbed the natural rhythms of the universe, alongside one or two narcotics (allegedly) they decided it was time to stop fannying around with simply existing and instead to get down to some serious rock. 
  Having then kickstarted their quarry project and ushered in the Stone Age, they discovered music. 
  Despite their early entrance onto the music scene, they take inspiration largely from the music of the Tweenies. The ever-changing roster of members, centred around a core few such as sometimes band leader Cuthbert Crack Band, they seek to emulate the CBBC legends in all their forms. That is, of course, when they are not fighting the malicious machinations of their evil nemesis supergroup, The Patchwork Pillocks, who are hellbent on destroying the world through the medium of catchy melodies and unusual time sigs that just really jam.
  The story continues…
