Another very early tune from around 1983.... slowed down from a spirited 180 BPM to a more elderly 132 and seems to pack more of a punch. Written a third verse and made up an intro from the word 'stories' from the chorus line. Added some jangle 12 string Rick for the simple solo !

Someone Told Me

Someone told me that the walls have ears
But I don't know if that is true
If you said it was a dark disguise
I'd be inclined to believe you
But up to now
You have yet to tell me
But up to now
You have yet to tell me
What life has in store for you

Someone told me that the world was round
But I dont know if that is true
If you said that the sky was blue
I'd be inclined to be believe you
But up to now
You have yet to tell me
But up to now
You have yet to tell me
What life has in store for you

Maybe you should listen	
More often that you do
Don't pay attention	
To the stories people tell you

Someone told me that the news was fake
And I quite sure that is true
If you said that they were on the make
I reckon that I'd believe you
But up to now
You have yet to tell me
But up to now
You have yet to tell me
What life has in store for you

Piccalilli Sunshine

I like to make my own
Got a recipe on my phone 
You can even make it at home
Piccalilli Sunshine

It’s more chunky than you can buy
Cauliflower green beans vinegar with wine
Makes you feel like your alive 
Piccalilli Sunshine

Make a jar for a couple of quid
Make it while your listening to Syd
Don’t forget to seal the lid
Piccalilli Sunshine

Piccalilli Sunshine

I know the dogs like it too
Trouble is it makes them poo
To not share it would be rude
Piccalilli Sunshine

Stick it in the cellar for about 6 weeks
Spread it on thick for a whopping great treat
Goes really well with all cold meats
Piccalilli Sunshine

Don’t tell your mates or they’re all be round
Just tell em that your going out
One more bite and then you’ll shout
Piccalilli Sunshine

Herbaceous Borders (Side 1)

Here's an extremely rough home demo of Love Song, later recorded by the Damned, possibly recorded on a Tascam reel to reel 4 track which allowed bouncing - but of course the sound starts to get murky fairly sharpish. The drums are some tapping on the mic with a pencil (snare) and index finger (bassdrum). As ever Johnny is giving it his all here but sadly Mr Vanian couldn't be persuaded to repeat his final "you're a b**ch" ad lib on the Chiswick Records recording. 

Love Song (J Moped demo)

Lou Reed was British

He never liked The Beatles
He never dug The Stones
Too much time reading Venus in Furs
Thought he was Joey Ramone

Lou Reed was British 
His mum and dad were from the OKR
Thought he was a Coney Island Baby
But he never got that far

He never liked the English groups
Said they shouldn’t play rock n roll
Laid in bed Sunday Morning 
Then out with Sweet Jane for a stroll 

Lou Reed was British 
His mum and dad were from the OKR
Thought he was a Coney Island Baby
But he never got that far

Herbie double tracked his bass parts
David Bowie and Mick Ronson produced
Had a New York Telephone Conversation
Mick Rocks photo was what they used

Lou Reed was British 
His mum and dad were from the OKR
Thought he was a Coney Island Baby
But he never got that far

He really was a Transformer
With his Velvet Underground
Got a Foggy Notion
Just Hanging ‘Round

Lou Reed was British 
His mum and dad were from the OKR
Thought he was a Coney Island Baby
But he never got that far
