This track is based on the concept and fantastic riff in http://soundcloud.com/paddyconner/the-coalface-of-rock-n-roll

When I first heard the riff in that song it really hooked me, so I sampled it and started experimenting - and have finally ended up with this. I've messed about with the original sample something horrible in places - but Mr Sturmey Archers has been extremely nice about the whole thing. 

This track is from my 2013 backlog, and many thanks to Phil McWalter for his advice on an early mix of this track.

Lyrics:

I've been working in the factory
The factory of rock and roll
I've been working with the robots
They say we've got no soul
In the factory of rock and roll
They say we've got no soul down there
Oh and they're probably right
But you know, we don't care

I've been working in the factory
The factory of rock and roll
I've been ch-checking the computers
They say we've lost control
In the factory of rock and roll
They say we've lost control down there
Oh and they're probably right
But you know, we don't care

It looks like you are
Either trying to write a song
Or a suicide note
Would you like some help with that

Et maintenant en Français

[Repeat first section en Français]

The Factory Of Rock And Roll (featuring The Sturmey Archers)

Music's got a hold of me.
I am also half of Fictive Sisters https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com

I have a soundcloud manifesto too (I know almost no one cares):
(1) I do not want to win at soundcloud
(2) I respect people who listen by trying to do work that is as good as I can make it but I may attempt (and possibly fail badly at) different kinds of music so you will probably find some of my tracks suck quite badly even if you like others
(3) If I follow you please feel no obligation to follow me back or to listen to my tracks because I know different people like different things
(4) If you follow me please don’t expect me automatically to follow you back because as I said different people like different things. I try to listen to most new uploads of the people I do follow, so there are only so many people I can meaningfully follow (and only so many reposts I can cope with) at any one time before it all gets a bit overwhelming
(5) If I add a track of yours to my likes that means I particularly like it and if I comment on a track that means I really did want to communicate something. I do not do these things expecting or wanting anything in return or fishing for listeners/followers etc.
(6) Soundcloud (still) can be wonderful and has wonderful people in its universe but some aspects of it do my head in and so I am putting this out here so everyone knows where I am coming from. This is not intended as criticism of anyone else, it is just what works for me
