This is not a bad song.

Words: Davies, Music: Dalton, Davies, Dent.

So I`ve now managed to get another tape recording converted to WAV, converted to MP3, and then added to the Blog. This, to paraphrase John Lydon, is not a bad song. It`s the recycle thieves, which I posted an acoustic version of earlier, and got quite good comments about.

Jackal: Bass.
Dental: Drums.
DA Mark: Guitar, vocals.




Jackal actually mentioned that he did not have a clue about any of the words as it was the first time we played this particular version of the song last night, and was looking mainly at Dental for clues for structural changes. So here are the lyrics.


Go on and break up, it wouldn`t a loss.
You`re all just match flames, in a universe of dross.
And I don`t think I`ll remember your names in six months time,
be happy with the fact you probably won`t remember mine.

You`re just independent, second hand, music by numbers bands.

You`re heard in nightclubs and a million students rooms.
they sit and wonder how you write such complicated tunes.
Eyes closed, mouth`s wide open, as they sit upon the floor.
Just like theirs parents did, twenty, thirty years before.

You`re just independent, second hand, music by numbers bands.

The talented one isn`t good looking,
the talented one isn`t good looking.
Put him at the back, that`s enough from him.
The talented one isn`t good looking.

You`re heard in nightclubs and a million students rooms.
they sit and wonder how you write such complicated tunes.
But I don`t think they`ll remember you`re names in six months time,
be happy with the fact they probably won`t have heard of mine.

And there you have it.

  1. Glad you posted the words as it made all the difference to my listening experience. Do you want to borrow the digital recorder next time?

    It's important to add Tags to your entries as well, as it makes it easier for web searches to stumble across the Nephrons. Also if you tag bog names that you check in the entores you piggy back on them.

    If you register with Sitemeter it'll track who vists you and where they are from. Have a look at the link at the bottom of the page on NBB.
