Name: DOING TIME by Unstable Tables Jukebox
Duration: 5 min 36 s
Description: When it comes to dark humour the Unstable Tables are in a league all on their own. Like Midnight Train Doing Time is a song of loss but sung through gritted teeth and with a sly nod at the world around with it's 'edited wars' bands who reach for the stars but are 'stranded on the moon' and Billy and Rita, their first date gratis the dating agency 'Lonely Hearts Club' (band).

It was written from my soul which was under attack.

Doing Time: take a listen to the blues Tables style. 

i love real soundin music like this ...like i can write to this be leave it or nt we should link 

Hear it on History Channel's Pawn Stars - A contemporary, beat driven dramatic piece with sinister synth sounds accompanied by orchestra sections. Could be scored in it's entirety as a theme throughout a program, or it's full of sectioned cues. The Arabian melodies and Gregorian choir provide an even darker backdrop perfect for TV or film.

Snipers Prowl

Used in many shows on Oxygen, Telemundo and others - Funky, spacy symphonica - think bar scene in Star Wars. This song has been placed as background in a few TV shows such as Brooklyn 11223 and Bad Girls.

Annunaki Rave

Played on NBC's The Voice - Down home, swampy, cajun, new grass country music. This song has had placements on shows such as Toddlers & Tiaras.

Tell The Captain

Tell the Captain that this ship is sinking fast
Tell the Captain that this dance will be the last

This is the last time that you’ll ever hear this song
This is the last time, baby
This is the last time
Then we’re gone
Into the night

Tell the Captain that we’re fading from the light
Tell the Captain that this dance won’t last the night

This is the last time that you’ll ever hear this song
This is the last time, baby
This is the last time
Then we’re gone
Into the night

Tell the Captain x4

I’m sending out an SOS x4

Into the night x2

Tell the Captain that this ship is sinking fast

Tell The Captain

Down In The Disco

Let me tell you the news
No disco in Albert Camus
I’d rather stand in shadow
Nod my head to The Fall
Watch the cracks in the mirrorball

Your white shirt shines bright
Epileptic disco light
I’ll squint from the shadows 
In the darkest black
Cos there’s never any black in Shakatak

CHORUS:
Down in the disco
It’s like ‘70s ‘Frisco
Light shines and dry ice freezes x4

The mannequins in a line
In step but out of time
Despise my existence
But I feed on their hate
Waiting in shadows for the last dance break

I’ve got the disco blues
Been gazing at my shoes
Got a manic depression 
Hanging over my head
Which won’t go away until the DJ is dead

CHORUS x 2

Ad lib
