Launching The Banana

Date Faker (feat. Richard Sames)

Inspired by a documentary on the old UK pop music show Top of the Pops.  One of the pundits mentioned stuffy old grey suited BBC bosses, visual effects on a Sousxie and the Banshees number and the rise of punk....et voila Dead and Gone Hong Kong Song was born.

Dead and Gone (Hong Kong Song)

Half Century Kids (feat. Alexbakermusic)

This track describes a walk through sunny Northampton back in the day.  A seduction that went unnoticed perhaps?  and a mention for Daniel Lambert - the country's fattest man in the 1800s - whose shoes and chair appeared in the park museum - not fruity or seductive chat, it all went horribly wrong....  Really please to have got "Betamax"  into the lyrics

Come With Me

Come With Me (feat. Richard Sames)

Frustration about not being heard or feeling like you don't have a voice in arguments and discussions.

Gear Up

Someone told us a story, about meeting her lover each lunchbreak for an intense week or so.  They'd look for anywhere possible to "eat".  One time they ended up in a burial ground car park...but someone locked the barrier post whilst they were in there.  They panicked as they had to get back to work and had to drive through the gap which knocked the wing mirrors off the company car.

Lunchbreak Love

Lunchbreak Love (feat. Richard Sames)

A teenager gets a job as a pot washer in the kitchens of an old engineering factory and considers the wistful musings of the middle aged kitchen supervisor who sits perched on the worktop having a crafty ciggy out of the window as she tells him her legs are lovely.

Mistress Of The Machine

Mistress Of The Machine (Extended Version)

In a dark and bitter world
Sweet fruit can still be found
Sometimes it’s over your head
Sometimes it’s right under your feet
Track it down
Sniff it out
Turn it up and it’s yours
Supa Rype
Tunes dreamed up by a tea machine
A musical collaboration 
Bringing sunshine and bananas into your life
When you dance around a kitchen
The kitchen also dances around you
Job done.
