dac insomniac + r.s.stropharia - fuga din subsol - impro-set live (30.06.2020)

a few out takes from Dani Kirby and Mat Ward's weekly rehearsals at the legendary Rat Palace as we plot and stumble our way to a new full length album. We seem to have more riffs this year, less texture, more fuzz, less space. Fuck knows where these things come from, a couple we have stopped and thought about, others we just let flow. Hopefully towards the end of the year we will have decided whats what and have a new shiny thing out in the universe. Thanks as always for all the support : )

Dani and Mat Riffing @ The Rat Palace

On Your Left, Right.

Got This Feeling

Got this feeling, grips my mind,
Wanna slide down the shower-wall sometimes.

People split, different states of mind,
And leave their ring and keys behind.

And your life becomes a word
On the tip of nobody’s tongue.

No tool-box can fix this wrong –
You’re just a prisoner in the tower of song.

The only by-pass for where you’ve been before
Is the 2-way traffic inside your door.

So talk it up, don't talk it down –
Yesterday's a trick, like the tears of a clown.

Hope and despair both lay their claim
But in the end only love sustains.

And this is all I have to say –
Tomorrow won’t come if you stand in its way.

Yes I was alive in the sixties and, at the time, remember thinking that I had everything sorted about how my life would pan out. I didn’t really think beyond the age of 30 - it seemed so ancient – and therefore felt I’d got plenty to fit in before my ensuing dotage. Alongside the plan to be in a band with my two brothers, I was also convinced I was going to be a professional footballer, so those would no doubt have been busy but assuredly fun times. 

Sadly, I didn’t become a professional football player - that’s plans for you - and though I played a little bit of guitar, very few people then knew of my musical desires. My two very talented brothers didn’t have a clue that I had such aspirations and it took until the early eighties before I became brave enough to write a song and play it to them.

I loved the 60’s, and look back on it all with enormous fondness – it was a great time to be alive.  But so is now and, even though I’m well into my sixties, have so many reasons to be happy in simply being alive – my beautiful wife and wonderful kids to name but two.

Finally, we owe a massive thank you to Hans for producing another stunningly brilliant backing track.  Thank you for everything, my friend.

Lyrics:
Another day
To celebrate 
The candles now
Light up a state

The challenge here
Avoid the club
Of not going out
Just getting up

CHORUS
I was alive in the sixties
Now the sixties live with me.                
No problems getting older
Being part of history

A single smile
May hold a tear
A Birthday wish
Keep friendships near

Not adding years
But minutes count
A fairground ride
With no dismount

CHORUS

I've got a six, I've got a zero, I've got a stick that keeps me up made out of willow
I've got a scooter, I've got some skates, I remember going faster than Jeff Capes
I’ve got some sand, I’ve got Lyn Davies, I could jump much longer on a small cash basis
I've got a football, I've got some boots, I've scored a goal like Bobby when he shoots
I've got a birthday, birthday, birthday, birthday, birthday, birthday, birthday, 
I’ve got a birthday, b-b-birthday, birthday, birthday, birthday, birthday….

CHORUS

Triumphant date
It's Zodiac
Seeming to say
Age has the knack

Enjoyed the past
Less time to face
Not closing down
More open space

CHORUS

I've got the Beatles, I've got a band, there are many times I wanna hold your hand
I've got the bluebird, I've got a transit, I drove just one of them to help Bro lance it
I've got some marbles, Gal has a horse, I bet there's Forty Secrets on the course
She’s got a Sindy, She got a Paul, I think my Sister wants to have them all

I've got a birthday, birthday, b-b-birthday, birthday, birthday, birthday, birthday,
I’ve got a birthday, birthday, birthday, birthday, birthday, birthday….

I was alive in the sixties
Now the sixties live with me
No problems getting older
Being part of history 
Being part of history
