Lyrics have you seen the rabble
heading West?
those melancholy faces
in their Sunday best
it can't be true
but baby - it's me and you...oh no
dry your tears with dollars then we'll leave them out to hang
bought and sold,too old,too cold - going out without a bang
we know there's no tomorrow while we're living for today
here it comes beat the drums - it's time to look the other way
have you seen the rabble
heading West?
those melancholy faces
in their Sunday best
it can't be true
but baby - it's me and you...oh no
Vika in a taxi with a picture of the Pope
London bound,the mighty pound
knickers down shot full of dope
it's ancient and it's modern
exactly as it seems
the neighbourhood is sleeping
double-glazed to all her screams
have you seen the rabble
heading West?
those melancholy faces
in their Sunday best
it can't be true
but baby - it's me and you...oh no
I wake up in the darkness
with a vision of a map
point to point all round the joint
it shows the way out of this trap
the path into the future is finally exposed
acceptance,love,a sense of calm
shut it up this case is closed.
hey,hey,hey
have you seen the rabble
heading West?
those melancholy faces
in their Sunday best
it can't be true
but baby - it's me and you...oh no

Nice to
see you Johnny Boy - haven't heard much from you lately.
Great groove to this and has the feel of a 'grower'. Caught most of the lyrics and they're good. Love the drums and dragging rhythm which gives it a great feel. Vocals sounding very clear too. Downloaded. Thanks.
Cheers
Len

beatitudes to you Lenny!
Draaaaaaaaaaaag that beat.

five_extra_arms said 265 days ago
Dragster
Len is right about the drag. Very cool song and you're vocals are always so great.

Man, you can sing! I would've downloaded this too, but your hatred for your fellow man has stopped me dead in my tracks. I'll check back to see if you change your mind.

Moviz said 265 days ago
Hi BPJ
This is a good full sound you've got here and it has a Beatle-esque sound to it in parts like 'Lucy in th...etc' lyrics are a bit different to theirs tho LOL.. but written in a similar vein; excellent none the less and the vocal sounds great, cheers M

bonnieprincejohnny said 264 days ago
Cheers Mo
Keep on rawkin.

J.A.Stewart said 265 days ago
I Don't Know, Johnny...
This wee draggin', swaggin' tune reminds me a lot more of Mott and his Hooples when they was... high... up on the charts.

Nicely done.

Stay cool... but not *too* cool. ;)

Flashbacks!!!!!
You've just transported me back to the days of rump and roll,platform shoes,bellbottoms and lefthanded smokes.Very Bowie/Hoople in my ears and very well done on all fronts.Full,rich production and performances.As usual your lyrics and delivery are very original and creative.Much enjoyed.

Blessings,

Hey .....
... Biba_Nova pimped this for you in the chat room .. .hence my vusit here (I think it's a British THING why he was attracted to this) ... I know having lived there myself for 3 1/2 years I hear the British thing ... heh heh ..... but there is also a throwback sound here fer sure ! Now I just need to put my Beer under my armpit for about 30 minutes to get it warm enough to drink to totally get the experience ! Nice tune !

Vic Holman said 261 days ago

Love the guitar and vox
Sounds like James Gang. Very cool feel anf groove. look forward to hearing more.

Deranged arranger
and I definitely need the name of your doctor! Monster ballad gone wrong - in the best possible way. If more producers thought like this there would be a whole lot less music made but it would all be weird woolly & maybe wonderful. Lurchin to churchin
