Lyrics to the title track are relevant to anyone trying to make it in music:
THE UNKNOWN
Sometimes it feels like the chips are down
Nothing is going your way
You’ve been recording endlessly,
Sleepless nights aimlessly
Songs wasted ‘cos tapes are gathering dust
Step one we’re talented, step two who can we trust?
The industry that’s full of cut throats, false hopes
Money controls, killer of many souls, anything goes
You know the ropes but if you ain’t part of the clique
You ain’t part of the plan so you might as well quit
Studios costing the earth hire, you feel
You could set the world on fire if you had a deal
But let’s be real about this
It ain’t what you know it’s who you know
It’s all a game and we’re all part of the show
What’s the role that you play? Can you do it your way?
You need a hell of a lot of luck being from the UK
You can say what you wanna say but remember
It’s where that you’ll be getting continuous airplay
(We are the unknown)
Now you know the name
Unstoppable, clever, artistic
You’re about to enter a higher level dimension
We’re fantastic
(We are the unknown)
Now you know the name
Break the barriers and persist to climb
Many have travelled down the road that you’re about to take
Made many mistakes whilst searching for the perfect break
Years of hardships, ripped jeans and bearded face
You were there at the wrong time in the wrong place
Maybe next time when you ain’t looking desperate
They’ll be on you like a rash, yeah you guessed it
They wanna know your name, where you from?
How long you been an entertainer for and who wrote the songs?
Do you know Danny from Sony? Mike at Universal?
Dawn from RCA? I met her at the dress rehearsal
Name checking can get you recognised further
But in the meantime trying to survive is murder
It’s all a game to them but to us it’s life or death
Or maybe they just lack a lot of depth
Or maybe they just don’t understand what it means to record
How it feels to perform but we go on
(We are the unknown)
Now you know the name
Unstoppable, clever, artistic
You’re about to enter a higher level dimension
We’re fantastic
(We are the unknown)
Now you know the name
Artistical brainwaves are being stifled
On the streets you’re recognised your name’s all over the town
You’ve been recording for years and you’re well renowned
Situations confuse you, bad luck pursues you
Promoters hire you for your services and use you
Or fail to pay, you they aim to play you
My advice is play the game like they do
Who knows what’s around the corner
It could be the break that you’ve been waiting for
As a performer we sense something’s about to happen
Keep it up never give it up no matter what they all might say
One day it could pay off
Watch the parasites crowd around you like you’re some kind of megastar
But in the meantime trying to survive is murder
And the conditions you living in have never been worse
It’s in your blood, you’re addicted
Nothing can change that
Make your move
This is payback
