Mick Jagger is going to react to this by saying "I can't get no satisfaction"...oh well, you can't please everyone...can you?

About the days of hopping the freight across Canada - Confederation's mother - this is from my book "Put Your Bum To Work in Vancouver".

With Ryuji Fujiwara on bass and Mikiko Suzuki on drums this was recorded in Tokyo on September 15, 1998.

Movin' On Down The Railway Track
 -  By Patrick T. Connolly
Movin' on down the railway track
 On the train movin' all night and day.
Sometimes I wish I had my old living back,
 Clean sheets, a change of clothes 'n' three meals everyday.

   But we are riddin' on her - Confederation's mother -
   The present is now, the rest is passing.
   Yes the train's movin' to I don't know where.
   Sure do wish I had clean underwear.

Life and the train slows down. - clang bang clang - 
Life and the rails speed up.   - bang clang bang - 

2nd verse - Out the boxcar door, see; the mountain pass,
 There's our train's beginning, through the trees bending.
Like a snake going through blades of grass
 As, beyond a lake glints the tail in the other heading.

   When we hopped the freight, we didn't leave a world behind
   We aspire to a hobo's life on these tracks.
   When I get hungry there's nothing to eat.
   There's nothin' ahead but miles of wheat.

Good For Nothing Maship (featuring Patrick Connolly-Trick T Olly)

This is an instrumental rendering of a Patrick Connolly (also known as Trick T Olly) song, done, of course, the Alien Syndrome Deluxe way, as an electronic music instrumental interpretation...

Good For Nothing (instrumental Version)

Originally “I'm So Satisfied #102” was made from a group of about 10 song fragments or scraps that were made into 2 songs; this one and its sister song "Good-morning This Afternoon #103".

It is really about a girl who I met at a dance and danced with once and never saw again. She was a brunette who made a big impression on me.  

This dance was at Oakville Trafalgar High School (O.T.); one of the four public high school in my home town of Oakville, Ontario, Canada.
 
I revised this at Nishi Chuo (JHS), Yotsukaido City on March 18, 2005. Take 1 is on SoundClick.
