BAD LAW

My baby surrendered to fate
And I couldn’t even say how I felt later on that evening
Stating my name to the officer’s aide was in vain 
Cause I knew they were out to get me

Place four of five fingers flat on a sticky plastic bat
Scan my blue bloodshot eyes for the history of my trials

When crimes are passionate can love be separate?

En route to my cell I retraced every step
and found a way to redact and retell my story
No evidence and no witness to summon or finesse
I confess, it all sounds unlikely

A sweaty, paranoid palm pressed against a leathered wall
The law in all its flaws, me in an oversized overall 

When crimes are passionate can love be separate?

Baby it’s a bad, bad law 
It’s a bad, bad law, Geronimo
Baby it’s a bad, bad law 
It’s a bad, bad law, Geronimo
 
I straddled out on the stand
My defense scrawled on my hand
Killed time and time again but then I lost again

When crimes are passionate can love be separate?

Sondre Lerche - Bad Law

Released in support of Macmillan Cancer Support: http://www.justgiving.com/Bob-Calvert

Keith Kniveton returned the ‘Day of the Quake’ demo to me a few months back. In his words:

“An interesting tale how I came upon this. At one time I had the job of going through Dave Brock’s tape archive, digitising and cataloguing along the way. I’d bring the tapes here and run them through a Revox and see what was there. After completing a tape of Dave’s solo stuff, I noticed a splice had broken and left a small amount of tape stuck to the supply reel. I carefully unpicked it, and re-threaded the tape and this is what I found.

Quite how it ended up on the reel in the first place I have no idea, and Dave didn't recall it either. Perhaps Robert sent it to Dave as part of a collaboration for Earth Ritual?”

Keen ears will recognize some of the music from the ‘Kid from Silicon Gulch project, however it is a new song with new lyrics. 
It is a demo, please don’t lose sight of this, but I think it is a good song. Definitely more than just a curiosity, and Keith has done a great job sprucing it up. Unless anyone can correct me, it sounds like the Wasp, on tape, in the cellar, on a Revox. Again, a demo.
