Name: Let's Go Round Again - Full Length by rick medlock
Duration: 3 min 53 s
Description: "Let's Go Round Again" to celebrate the 40th birthday of the Coventry Ring Road.

Loving the ska slant on this and possibly the first dedication to a piece of civil engineering on SC. Cheers, Mark

Love the vocal effects and a lovely bright clear mix John!! :-))

A message to the rulers of the postcode jetstreams. Do you see all your friends counting money in their teams? Riding tigers , smoking rocks looking for strawberry ice cream. Burning paper towns and hotel rooms. Soaking up the blood of all our fantasies of Cadillac's gold leaf and tea.

Do you feel like a royal riding high in the back seats, crystal in your pockets spreading glitter round the streets.  In your plastic toy town. Champagne mini bars golden sweet. 

Silver and gold blood is a flood of ruby and stones. Diamonds over my flesh tell me i’m still looking home grown.

SANCTUARY

I want you
I think I see you everywhere
We want love
We want to see love everywhere
 
Under the sway of thy gentle wings
All the world comes together
 
Old friends, no more these sounds! 
Let us sing more cheerful songs 
More full of joy! 
More full of joy!
Joy, bright spark of divinity, daughter of Elysium 
Fire-inspired we tread thy Sanctuary 
Sanctuary…

Joy!

I want you
I think I see you everywhere
We want love
We want to see love everywhere

Under the sway of thy gentle wings
All the world comes together
 
All you millions, I embrace you 
Well this kiss is for all the world
And you millions, oh I embrace you all
This kiss is for everyone 
All the world…

RENT A ROOM

I don’t want to rent a room
In this place
Encounter a neural sonic boom
Inside this space
Let’s go ride our metal horse
Get away from the city
Wander through the desert night
Beat the Vigilance Committee
They’re coming to make us
Turn ourselves off...
Now... 
Well that could lead to a dance
A cyber-laser dance

Well we don’t want to feel your cold
We want a steel womb with a view
So we can catch you and your crew
With your shiny shoe and your clean shirt
Looking around through all the dirt
You check the chandelier
But I can see straight through you here
You've got a sweat on from the beer
And we can smell your fear
You're coming to make us
Turn ourselves off...
Now... 
Well that could lead to a dance
A cyber-laser dance
(Maybe even a cyber-sabre dance!)

The priest and the nun
Are pouring sand into
The joints of my exoskeleton
Whilst a dog with a bone
Is running into trouble
With a clone of mine’s explosive rubber drone

I don’t want to rent a room
In this place
Encounter a neural sonic boom
Inside this space
Let’s go ride our metal horse
Get away from the city
Wander through the desert night
Beat the Vigilance Committee
They’re coming to make us
Turn ourselves off...
Now... 
Well that could lead to a dance
A cyber-laser dance
A cyber-laser dance
A cyber-laser dance
Boop boop boop...

Update!!!
Rick Medlock contacted me after I released our take on “Message In A Bottle” and asked 
if we could do a version with him playing drums. I couldn’t say yes fast enough. So here
is the second version with Rick’s killer drumming!

Hi everyone, I hope you’re all doing well and safe.
Sending out an S.O.S, S.O.S, S.O.S, S.O.S, S.O.S, S.O.S,
that’s a fitting end to 2020! The year of Covid, conspiracy theories, division, death and
a time where lying is the norm. I can’t wait to flush this year down the toilet. 
There is hope for 2021 with a vaccine on the horizon and some new leadership.
Hedd and I started working on this track in 2018. It’s based off of one of Sting’s
live performances of Message In A Bottle made famous by The Police. It was a blast
to do and I hope you all enjoy it! Let us know what you thing and thanks for listening.
I wish you all a great 2021!!!!

Message In A Bottle
Songwriters: Gordon Sumner/Sting

Just a cast away, an island lost at sea, oh
Another lonely day, no one here but me, oh
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair, oh
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
A year has passed since I wrote my note
I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life but love can break your heart
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Oh, message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Walked out this morning, I don't believe what I saw
A hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone in being alone
A hundred billion castaways looking for a home
I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, whoa
Message in a bottle, yeah
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
I'm sending out an SOS
I'm sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
Sending out an SOS
