Dog Meat Stew - Lyrics

I just drank three bottles of the best excuse on the planet
Going back to Camberwell to sign on and then shoplift
Lost my dog after I smoked something I knew I shouldn’t have
Days that followed followed me and I was following the days

They saw you, they saw you, they saw you with her
They saw you, they saw you, they saw you with a girl

Neighbours said they thought we were dead, we only slept one hour a night
Working jobs that we both hate to buy some shit we don’t need
Dog meat stew from Mexicans who dig in trash cans for breakfast
Burglar alarms are disconnected when they want insurance

They saw you, they saw you, they saw you with her
They saw you, they saw you, they saw you with a girl

I knew her before the thing, I never knew her after
Don’t like too much noise and I don’t really like the weather
Changed my name to John Coltrane 'cos no one took my phone calls
Best times are always the ones that you just walked away from

They saw you, they saw you, they saw you with her
They saw you, they saw you, they saw you with a girl

Strange Part of the Country

Freight Train / Pains, by Pok the Bard.
Album: Anthology

FREIGHT TRAIN / PAINS
Freight train coming in from the east
Where it's going is where I care the least
Whispered messages that I did not hear
Take me to the place that my body needs
I don't know what's happening
I hope I can eat today

Judge and all his courtiers looking down upon me
They say: this is the cripple that wants to be free
He says we owe it to him, it's in his heritage
Wants to know when we're going to let him out of his cerebral cage
Justice should be seen to
Let's put him away

Well thank God for that
They've split the scene
I was beginning to think I was lost
Gotta get back into normal living
Plug in that TV screen
Gonna pull myself together
Gonna have a cool bourbon on ice
After all things like that don't occur
Think of the children
It ain't nice

Listen son you've had you're fun
Don't go acting on the run
Stop wasting time around here
You want to live, you want to give
You want to cut above the rest
Go on out and get it
To the top

Some people say I left my soul riding on that freight train
I'm inclined to agree
It has affected my whole brain
Don't listen to authorities that claim they've sussed it all
Keep on driving on your own track
Take care they don't make you fall
Take care they don't make you fall
Take care they don't make you fall
Take care they don't make you fall
Don't let the bastards grind you down
Take care they don't make you fall
Take care they don't make you fall

Music and lyrics by Simon Miller.
This arrangement by Pok and Maxx Damage.

Recorded, engineered, produced and mastered at Wud Records Studio One, uk, 26th April 2017.
Remixed and remastered at Wud Records Studio One, Central Europe, April 2025.

Performers:
Pok: acoustic guitar, electric guitars, vocals
Maxx Damage: bass

Fun Facts:
The freight train described in this song is the exact same train as the one described in Cunning and Tricks, another song on the Anthology album.
One of Pok’s very early songs, this one was mined from his book Golden Temple and the Laughing Sun during an outbreak of archeology.
The entire song was recorded and produced very quickly one day, when other things had actually been planned.
As the whole thing went fast, there was still time for those other things.
Sven was not available on that day, so there are no drums.
The acoustic guitar is George's Yamaha, fitted with 9-guage electric strings.

Fooog'z Bloooz, by Pok the Bard.
Album: Anthology

Music by Simon Miller/George Davies.

Recorded at Wud Records Studio One, exeter, uk, 2013.
Remixed and remastered at Wud Records Studios, Central Europe, 2025.

Performers:
Pok - guitars
Maxx Damage - bass
Sven Stiglund - drums

The Anthology songs are the early compositions of Pok and friends, who were also known as The Masters of Drone.

Fooog'z Bloooz started out as a riff, which might have existed as far back in time as the days of Achilles Heel. Certainly it existed in the days of Fooog Dinboffin and the Release.

This version took that riff and expanded upon it just a little. Fooog'z Bloooz was recorded very quickly, to preserve the magic of its re-creation and development.

Its original release date on Bandcamp was 12th May 2013. This, the remixed and remastered version, was completed on 22nd March 2025.

Wings Wetted Down by The Bastard Sons of Dennis.
Album: Cosy Lube Turtle

Wings Wetted Down is a cover song.
Originally released by Blue Öyster Cult on their 1973 Tyranny and Mutation album. 

Music and lyrics: A. Bouchard, J. Bouchard.

This arrangement by The Bastard Sons of Dennis.
Inspiration drawn from the 1973 Tyranny and Mutation album.

Wings Wetted Down is a truly wonderful song, often overlooked. The craftsmanship of its composition by the legendary Bouchard brothers is masterful.

This version is in G# minor. The chord progressions are so beautifully constructed, with a minor second A major and a 'devil's interval' flattened fifth chord of D major providing a gloriously satisfying twist.

Both Chuck and Derek take solos. Derek's is an addition that is not found on the original version.

Wings Wetted Down was always a very popular live song. It was performed on many occasions by The Bastard Sons of Dennis and introduced by the band with a cryptic and comical description.

Performers:
Derek Broom - vocals, guitar
Chuck Palmer - guitar, vocals

Recorded and engineered at Wud Records Studio One in Exeter UK.
Produced, mixed and mastered by George Davies 2011.

Románticos

Original Track by Phil Dutton & Les Corlett.

Lyrics...

I'll be the last one to know,
When the lights go out,
I've been living in the dark,
With my fear and doubts,
It doesn't really matter,
What offer you propose
Because every day is wasted,
As I slowly decompose.

We rise and we fall,
Then the rubber hits the road,
We drive overnight,
It's never easy so I'm told
And the song that is playing,
Takes me back to my youth,
At journeys end,
I'll stop and face the truth.

Oh somebody hold me,
I think I've lost it all
Won't somebody ask me,
Was it worth it all
Oh somebody take me
I think I've lost my way
Oh somebody kiss me
And make me live again

With all my days numbered
From the first until last
You'd think I'd had a ball
Well you'd think I'd had a blast
I drank all my tequila
My whisky and wine
To drown out all the noise
And passage of time

As my memories dim
In the cold light of day
I'll politely ask you
If I should have stayed
As I feel the earth shifting
Here beneath my feet
The drummers are marching
To the sound of a different beat

Oh somebody hold me
I think I've lost it all
Won't somebody ask me
Was it worth it all
Oh somebody take me
I think I've lost my way
Oh somebody kiss me
And make me live again

When the lights go out
Remember me
When the lights go out
Remember me
When the lights…

Melancholy Blue

When the Lights go Out

WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT

Here I Come

Red Lights by George.
From Volume VIII Side B of the Band of Georges.

Music and lyrics by G. Davies.
Composed circa April 1987.

Recorded August 1987.
Mixed September 1987.
Lifted from cassette July 2025.

Copyright © 1987 & 2025 Wud Records.
Copyright ℗ 1987 Explicit Music.

Fun Facts:
Red Lights has no specific date other than 1987.
George believes April might be a good guess for when it was written.
This song uses the Boss DR 220A drum machine.
It became a part of the set of Rough Terrain, although they didn't play it very often.

Run by George.
From Volume IX Side A of the Band of Georges.

Music and lyrics by G. Davies.
Composed July 1987.

Recorded December 1987 to April 1991.
Mixed May 1991.
Lifted from cassette August 2025.

Copyright © 1987 & 2025 Wud Records.
Copyright ℗ 1987 Explicit Music.

Fun Facts:
Run was composed in July 1987 at 19 Haldon Road, Exeter.
This was during the days of Rough Terrain.
It was also around the same time that Lizzy and Dave moved into the flat on the top floor.
After that, the whole house became like a real life version of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Run was the fourth and last song on this cassette when Pete helped George move house from Plymouth back to Exeter.
During the journey, the cassette was played in the van.
Run was the only one of the four songs that Pete liked.
George can no longer recollect who had cheesed him off enough to write this song about them.
The vocal is bizarrely a bit munchkinised.
George must have slowed the tape down to record the vocal part.
Perhaps he couldn't quite hit or hold one of the higher notes.

I Pass You By by George.
From Volume IX Side A of the Band of Georges.

Music and lyrics by G. Davies.
Composed 24th July 1987, 8:00 - 8:50pm.

Recorded May 1991 to August 1991.
Mixed August 1991.
Lifted from cassette August 2025.

Copyright © 1987 & 2025 Wud Records.
Copyright ℗ 1987 Explicit Music.

Fun Facts:
I Pass You By was composed in July 1987 at 19 Haldon Road, Exeter.
It was inspired by the beautiful train journey from Exeter to Torquay.
This journey was George's occasional commute during that summer.
The sound of the train at the start was recorded one evening using two mics and an open window at 63 King Street, Exeter.
That particular property was very close to the main London to Penzance railway line.
It was probably the sound of a British Snail, er, Rail, Intercity 125.
Programming the Boss DR 220A drum machine probably took a long time.
I Pass You By was never included in the set of any band.

Leaving Home by George.
From Volume IX Side A of the Band of Georges.

Music and lyrics by G. Davies.
Composed 1st June 1987 circa 01:00am.

Recorded December 1987 to April 1991.
Mixed May 1991.
Lifted from cassette August 2025.

Copyright © 1987 & 2025 Wud Records.
Copyright ℗ 1987 Explicit Music.

Fun Facts:
When the lyrics for Leaving Home begin, they are describing the scene in George's room in real time.
Some of the lyrics are by turn fascinating, wistful, poignant and telling.
There is rather a lot of reverb on here, from the same source as for Secret Subsociety.
The drum machine is again the Boss DR 220A.
The EDP Wasp also makes a few appearances.
Leaving Home was never performed by any band.
The bass was tuned to a drop-D for this song.

Ocean And by George.
From Volume IX Side A of the Band of Georges.

Music and lyrics by G. Davies.
Composed July 1987.

Mixed May 1991.
Lifted from cassette August 2025.

Copyright © 1987 & 2025 Wud Records.
Copyright ℗ 1987 Explicit Music.

Fun Facts:
We cannot find any paperwork or lyrics for Ocean And.
George believes it was composed in late June or early July 1987.
It was composed on the bass with a delay pedal, rather than on guitar like nearly all of George's other songs.
Ocean And was written at 19 Haldon Road, Exeter.
This was during the days of Rough Terrain.
It was also around the same time that Lizzy and Dave moved into the flat on the top floor.
After that, the whole house became like a real life version of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Ocean And was briefly considered for addition to the Rough Terrain repertoire, but never was.

Secret Subsociety by George.
From Volume IX Side A of the Band of Georges.

Music and lyrics by G. Davies.
Composed 15th May 1987, 11:00ish to 12:55ish.
Additional composition circa September 1987 and January 1988.

Recorded December 1987 to April 1991.
Mixed May 1991.
Lifted from cassette August 2025.

Copyright © 1987 & 2025 Wud Records.
Copyright ℗ 1987 Explicit Music.

Fun Facts:
The first ten seconds or so of this are a bit garbled due to cassette deterioration over several decades.
Secret Subsociety may have the longest set of lyrics of all of George's songs.
It expresses a lot of experiences around the themes of claustrophobia, fear and paranoia.
George is no longer sure about how it was produced exactly.
The reverb that rather dominates the mix may have belonged to Watershed, or Zaphod, or Paul, who produced the Rough Terrain demos.
George remembers playing this, and the next three songs on this tape, to Pete inn his van in 1991.
This was the occasion when Pete collected George from Plymouth to move him and his belongings back to Exeter.
Pete didn't like the first three songs, including this one.
The opening lyrics describe George's writer's block, which then became unblocked as the song unfolded.
There was a pre-bounce mix of this which featured the bass and two guitars.
Sadly this mix has not survived the passage of time and is beyond repair.
As such, the way the song ended up being mixed was quite odd due to the number of tracks needed for all of the parts.
This is quite an ambitious recording, especially for just four tracks on a cassette.
It uses the newer Boss DR 220A drum machine, which actually ran out of memory.
The drums at the end had to be overdubbed once the first 256 bars had been recorded.

Leaving Home (Coda) by George.
From Volume IX Side A of the Band of Georges.

Music and lyrics by G. Davies.
Composed 1st June 1987 circa 01:00am.

Recorded December 1987 to April 1991.
Mixed May 1991.
Lifted from cassette August 2025.

Copyright © 1987 & 2025 Wud Records.
Copyright ℗ 1987 Explicit Music.

Fun Facts:
Leaving Home (Coda) is actually a bonus track.
This coda was something we discovered at the end of the mix of Leaving Home.
It appears to be just some guitar noodling that happened once the take was finished and the tape was still running.
There's a certain poignancy to it, like a final farewell, so we included it here.
When the lyrics for Leaving Home begin, they are describing the scene in George's room in real time.
Some of the lyrics are by turn fascinating, wistful, poignant and telling.
There is rather a lot of reverb on here, from the same source as for Secret Subsociety.
The drum machine is again the Boss DR 220A.
The EDP Wasp also makes a few appearances.
Leaving Home was never performed by any band.
The bass was tuned to a drop-D for this song.

Frustration Song by George.
From Volume IX Side A of the Band of Georges.

Music by G. Davies/J. Peirce.
Lyrics by G. Davies.
Composed 26th August 1987, 03:00 - 03:56pm.

Recorded May 1991 to August 1991.
Mixed August 1991.
Lifted from cassette August 2025.

Copyright © 1987 & 2025 Wud Records.
Copyright ℗ 1987 Explicit Music.

Fun Facts:
Frustration Song was composed at 19 Haldon Road, Exeter.
George wrote it after a period of frustration.
He had been in a relationship with a girlfriend who liked him to do absolutely nothing for long periods of time.
As a person who was always active, he found this very difficult.
It is written on the lyric sheet "A song for" and then the name of the girlfriend.
This was the most reggae song he had ever written up to this point.
The bassline was the creation of Jerry from Rough Terrain.
One of the voices was recorded with the tape slowed down to give the voice a different sound.
The distorted lead guitar is plugged directly into the portastudio. rather than using a mic and a guitar amplifier, to give it that distinct tone.

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.
