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.

About The Nephrons.

The Nephrons were born in about 1982 when myself and two friends (Carl and Mark) began playing guitar with each other in the front bedroom of Carl`s house. We didn`t know we were called the Nephrons at the time, we just thought that we were going to take over the world with RAWK. We`ve been playing together since then with others occasionally popping in and out (Kitson was a drummer for a while) and have played in other bands (The Rachel Fields, Stink, Her Majesties Tax and income) throughout the years, but we always end up coming back together. The Nephrons name was picked from a number of choices (Mark and his mates, the Glitter twins, now you can figure why we went with Nephrons) in about 2006. We thought that the Doves had the right idea, swapping instruments so nobody playing one particular instrument.

Mark De. Drums, backing vocals, bass guitar, rhythm guitar.
Carl.D. Lead and rhythm guitar, Bass guitar, Mandolin.
Me. Vocals (of a fashion), rhythm and lead guitar, drums, Banjo, piano, bass guitar.
harmonica.

Our songs are good honest music, but here`s the thing, we`ve all got kids (one of each all of us) under six, so practising and playing is really difficult. So that`s why I have created this Blog. To get the music out there.
