"Lyrics"

Recording some extra bits for a song over the weekend and it's one of my favs. Started life as an acoustic number on the 1st CD we ever did (before I joined). It's the song that made me phone them 20 mins after hearing it the same night and tell them I'd give anything to play for them.

Called Pots & Pans.
It's about being in a job you hate when you know you should be doing something else, following your heart in whatever it is you wanted to do as a kid. It's about chucking away the security of a career and risking it all on the off-chance you'll get where you're supposed to be, instead of convincing yourself that what you are doing is ok.
We used to play it live, haven't done for about a year but we will at the next gig. Last time we played it, the entire venue was singing along "No more 9-5" for the last minute or so.
To look out and see a roomful of people singing along is something I'll never, ever forget as long as I live.

Pots & Pans

Got a bad taste in my mouth
Chew me up and spit me out
Don’t you know what I’m about?
Well I should have seen it coming
Should have spent my money
And changed for the day
Get away
And just let it out

Now there’s nothing left to spend
Time and money soon they end
But I know I’ve got my friend
Well I thank you very much
Gonna keep in touch
Write me a letter just to make him better again

Tomorrow I’ll be there
No more 9-5
And I’ve had my share
Now I’m doing fine
Tomorrow I’ll be there
Nowhere left to hide
Tomorrow is a day
Gonna keep you away
Ifs and buts?
They never seem to pay

Tomorrow I’ll be there
No more 9-5
And I’ve had my share
But now I’m doing fine

I'll try and get them to a manageable size and upload them somewhere so others can hear them.
I love what I do and I love my boys.

No more 9-5

All this banging your head and stuff is doing your memory in - or is it just old age ?? meh - I'm a right one to talk..

Why don't you get them posted on here ?

Freeola give unlimited webspace - maybe one of the staffies could set some space cos I'm sure they want to listen just as much as we do. Get Darkus to sort it out....

Its also annoying because us people really do wanna hear them too!

Ta mate.
I think the easiest thing is to bring the CDs to work, IT can rip them and I can upload to Mr Happy's place using work machine - will take no time at all.
I'll rip the audio tracks to MP3 when I get back tonight, see how it goes.

It's annoying because I really want people to hear them.

*thats 3 to 5 megabytes (not 35)

:-)

oh and try this:

http://download.com.com/ (space) 3000-2140-9471595.html?tag=lst-0-2

Its a nice free program which lets you rip to mp3 files (or parts of a track to mp3 files) which are about 3-5mb each. Plus the mp3s are damn good quality.

Its pretty fast at it too. About a minute per track on your kind of spec machine I would guess.

Hope it helps

Probably because you keep banging your head on stuff

*bangs head on desk*
Dammit!!!

I'm down the studio tonight listening to all the ones we've done so far and getting a CD of them. I *will* put them on ZIP tonight and bring them in for Wed.

Christ I'm bad at remembering things
