Warning, this post is on the level of a low-end Nickname effort. Or, perhaps, old school FirthofForth.

I wrote some lyrics awhile back. My goal was to write lyrics that sounded like a classic PSB song. It came out terrible, but I thought I might as well share while things are quiet here. Escapism and street life..think of it as a Please B-side that never made the cut. Now back to another 5 year hiatus...

Madame Le'Cret

(bark to the beat
bark-bark- to the beat
bark to the beat
bark-bark to the beat

bark to the beat
bark-bark- to the beat
bark to the beat
bark-bark to the beat)

Verse 1:

It's null and void
She looked so annoyed
The fear kicked in
and we're back to running again

At Epingdon's stop
jump off just in time
run and run and run
you're almost out of time

(bark to the beat
bark-bark- to the beat
bark to the beat
bark-bark to the beat

bark to the beat
bark-bark- to the beat
bark to the beat
bark-bark to the beat)

Pre-Chorus:

This will do, that will do
you'll never know what we've been through

Chorus:

Ahhh-ah-ah-ah
ooooh-oooh-ohhhhhhh

Ahhhh-ah-ah-ahhhhh

Whooaaaaa-ohhhh-o

Verse 2:

Oliver Twist felt the fist,
dark days and the odd switch
(bark to the beat
bark-bark to the beat)
The commander has had his say
watch your heart, you know the way

Takeaway bags lay by the van
License and treasure found in the sand
Ancient and distant land
It's a trick, don't ask the plan

Pre-Chorus:

This will do, that will do
you'll never know what we've been through

Chorus:

Ahhh-ah-ah-ah
ooooh-oooh-ohhhhhhh

Ahhhh-ah-ah-ahhhhh

Whooaaaaa-ohhhh-o


Middle 8:

Hollow and fine,
what does it take to be mine?

lying dogs on the other side
a manifesto of crime

Verse 3:

In the center, after all,
living life after the fall
A reason for everything
but what when you're on you're last dime?

Blustery blight, on the passerby's side
taken for a ride, that's all our life
what you need is what you get
bow down to Madame Le'Cret

Chorus and fade:

Ahhh-ah-ah-ah
ooooh-oooh-ohhhhhhh

Ahhhh-ah-ah-ahhhhh

Whooaaaaa-ohhhh-o

Get your synth out. Those lyrics are very sophisto-pop! Don't know what it's about but I feel 50 pc more intelligent reading it

Not bad at all

Aren't Firth of Forth and York Minster the same person? :-/

It was a reference to the heady days of earlier in the decade when I was looser on the trigger button than nickname on a robotrip.

Alas, I am old and tired now. You will get the occasional poll out of me, but that's about it.
