Lyrics: 

Excuse me have you got the time?
Left my phone with a friend of mine
I'm a class tourist, apparently
Unemployed, but where's the breadline?

I've never known quite where I stand
Studied hard, worked jobs I hated
Two certificates for five years of my life
But nobody gives a fuck about paper

I got my foot in the door somewhere
Parents sorted my rent up front
So I could move just an hour away
To be let go in a matter of days

Told Mr Sainsbury I love his work
Free every day of the week
Not into all that arty stuff anymore
Just wanna earn my keep

But he could see right through my smile
Job Centre under my skin
Gotta take any work I can physically do
Until it does me in

Class tourist on my bike
Can't even get a job I don't like

Liminal - EnigmaCurry / P a b l o (Udu Mix)

A poem about this political internet climate , long gone love, friendship, forgiveness and of course musical collaboration, The beautiful body of this song is an ambient work from Wilfried Hanrath.. I have added a bassline from a Roland bass machine, lyrics and vocals, and a complimentary musical background made with a Fender strat and Melotron..  Fyi, Wlifried has done another version of this song with an added intrumental verse in the middle that is very beautiful and well worth a listen that can be found on his page..!!

Lyrics:
Insular depravity, and  narratives so Bizarre and Brazen, stuffed full in cavities with hand grenades, chocolate bars, and mason jars full of unfamlliar items.
Please sit a spell and help me with the truth, it's hard to tell sometimes, and it can hurt like hell.
You gave me water from that spring that filled the tank, it was the sweetest coldest, cleanest, clearest water that i ever drank, But now i have to let it go and not a moment waste on life long gone and lived in reckless haste.

LONGINGS***Take 2  ( A collaboration with W:I:L-o' the-wisp. WILFRIED HANRATH..)

Far Beyond The Dream

I was recently watching a "Making the Album" episode for Cream's Disraeli Gears.  I thought I had seen them all but this one had slipped by me.

As they were going track by track, they spoke of the song We're Going Wrong, which I had never heard before having been raised on the best of.  I decided to take a crack at it and see what happened.  Quite an amazing experience for me having loved both the band and more specifically Jack Bruce for decades.  Enough so that I play an SG bass in Bruce's, Trevor Bolder's, Phil Lesh's, and Dr. Marshall's honor.

I used this performance from the 2005 reunion concerts as the template.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsMLWPD2No0 Bruce said that the song was based on an argument he had with his wife at the time.  Seems to me that the relevance of the words and the vibe have bigger meaning in this time as we move forward.

Surfing The Feedback

No Deal Disco is my solo project. My imaginary band. My impassioned attempt to organise rubbish thoughts into enjoyable songs. I write, usually tongue in cheekily, about national pride, masculinity, parents, money, mental health, jobs, body image, and all the other stuff that has shaped me into the anxious extrovert you hear before you.
