Bloody brilliant what a banger !anything with come on you lads im listening . With out being technical its just great . Love it 👍￼

I'm not quite sure why, but it reminds me of a cross between the Housemartens and Bowie.

I grew up on Madness, XTC, The Clash, The Undertones and I tell you what you are doing is just pure gold! Keep rockin! I do love this song!

"Jobs they came and went Nothing seemed to stick Belly grew much quicker than my bank account" :D Love this!

Wow, that was rollercoaster! Amazing energy and cracking production! You have gained a fan here!

U ARE ECLETIC....LOVE IT.  SUB'ED U ON YOUTUBE AS WELL

Hey, Driver

Dedicated to the lads, both those mentioned in the song and those many others who sailed those beery seas with me!

Bursting out of school
Straight into a job
More money than I’d ever had before
Crammed into a car
Johnny in the boot
Cruising pubs, peddle to the floor

Careening round the bends
Steve half-out the door
Nicking traffic bollards for a lark
Then down to Brighton Town
Streaking on the beach
Pale half-moons, a glimmer in the dark

But then, the bottle was chock-full
And getting pissed was cool
Day’s job quiet prelude to Night’s riot
Fist fights down the pub (Oi mush!)
Then eating dodgy grub
We scoffed at those just wanting peace and quiet

Years of dressing sharp
Trying to pull a girl
Turned down way more often than accepted
What the hell to say?
Tongue made out of cloth
Zombies stood more chance once resurrected

Jobs they came and went
Nothing seemed to stick
Belly grew much quicker than my bank account
Steve made a fortune running guns
Flies all around the world
They say Her Majesty made him a viscount!

And now the bottle’s running out
I’ve pitched up at the final shout
In the mirror prowls an ageing dinosaur
Yeah, the bottle’s running out
I wonder, “What was it all about?”
And I think back to us streaking on the shore

Come on you Lads!
Guildford, Shere & Shamley Green,
Up to Kingston, all pubs between

Come on you Lads!
Bramley, Compton, Clandon, Send,
Ripley, Putney - some weekends

Come on you Lads!
Coffee back at Pewley Way
If you were legless, you could stay

Come on you Lads!
Martin, Gerry, Steve & John
Loved ‘em all … don’t get me wrong!

Come on you Lads!
Dave & Andy, Ian & Geoff
Loved ‘em also, I confess!

Come on you Lads!
Peter, Malcolm, Simon too
All in all, a first rate crew!

COME ON YOU LADS!

This is not the best track for starting a new page because it dont characterizes my kind of music very well. It is made to capture the feelings i get by modern architecture or common architecture in general. I think that architecture bounds the structure of the brain too.
and common architecture should be decentralized and not mirror any hirarchies. The labyrinth of architecture you live in is controlling your mind somehow...
architecture should be like neural networks instead...

ClockWork

This is a bit of a hybrid that combines mostly acoustic instruments with a pop/rock sort of treatment including a distorted electric guitar break. The song relates the history of young love, college age, still kids, that eventually gives way to growth which ultimately brings the passion to an end. Recalling how they both provided security and understanding at the volatile time when kids evolve into adults, until, for one of them, it was no longer needed.

That’s What Loving You Did

points of no return

life is the slowest suicide
you know you go and you just cant hide
no shelters and no parachute
all you can do is contribute
its just a risk you got to take
just a point I'd like to make

take the chance to simply chill
to motionless stand still
no ecological footprint to be made
it's that or simply levitate
it's a choice you've got to take
just a point I try to make

impossible to hold position
while being bullets shot in to space
with no particular aim or target
just a journey, not a race
so the point I dotted grew a line
might be capricious, but it is mine
mere particles getting their act together
or trying to, for that matter
time and space do not compare
apples, oranges and splitting hair
it all falls into place, all facts are joined
needless to mention I still made my point
