This is a more jazzy version of "The Devil drives a Volvo". Got help from my brother on the drums on this recording.
Vocals were recorded in a rented mini cooper south in spain :)
lyrics:
The Devil drives a Volvo
and wears a flannel shirt…
Written and recorded in a couple of hours late one night.
I pick up the telephone
and dial the number
I run down the street
I don't mind the thunder
I can get no answer
Can't go back to my slumber
I turn the corner slip and fall
I hit…
here's the lyrics:
Inside a casket, ... broken dreams
six feet under, it starts to leak
six feet over he gets a whiff
assembles the puzzle piece by piece
on salty water a thought is born
sailing regardless of a coming storm
the mast is broken…
Written and recorded in a couple of hours late one night.
I pick up the telephone
and dial the number
I run down the street
I don't mind the thunder
I can get no answer
Can't go back to my slumber
I turn the corner slip and fall
I hit…
Written and recorded in a couple of hours late one night.
I pick up the telephone
and dial the number
I run down the street
I don't mind the thunder
I can get no answer
Can't go back to my slumber
I turn the corner slip and fall
I hit…
Written and recorded in a couple of hours late one night.
I pick up the telephone
and dial the number
I run down the street
I don't mind the thunder
I can get no answer
Can't go back to my slumber
I turn the corner slip and fall
I hit…
Written and recorded in a couple of hours late one night.
I pick up the telephone
and dial the number
I run down the street
I don't mind the thunder
I can get no answer
Can't go back to my slumber
I turn the corner slip and fall
I hit…

sort of alice in wonderland or maybe you might read something else from it. that's up to you.
They've switched off all the lights
they're out to lunch
they've all gone to the party
they're having tea and scones
the hatter calls for silence…
I was really proud when Rob asked if he could do a cover of this. Rob, you have one of the best voices in this part of the universe !! I've played it to all my friends and they agree :)
This is about where the f*ck does a song come from?? I don't know, and I can barely hang on..
Recorded with the Boss Micro BR with one take tracks and bounced until there was nothing left in the poor girl.
Cover version of the 1979 Telex song. This is the French language version because it's the only one I know - didn't even know there was an English language version till I went looking for the lyrics.
The drums are programmed on my BOSS DR…
This is a live cut from an NPR radio broadcast back in 1988 while my Irish Trad group Scartaglen was on one of its first east coast tours. Found recently on a cassette tape. Musically this was one of my favorite periods in the history of the band…
A song from the Easyrider soundtrack the music is by Gene Speed Demon over on Songcrafters and i'm on the vocal...this a song i've liked since a teenager after first seeing the film...well i got to sing it thanks to Gene....but i'll have to wait…
Heres a collab with Wildgeas Music a beautiful bit of music hope i did it justice with the vocal............
Tomorrow (Lyrics)
I know the curse of the darkness is coming
those dark nights that will feed upon my soul
with no forward glance of tomorrow…
I heard Fort Bigwater by Wildgeas Music this afternoon and it struck a chord and some lyrics came to mind...so here they are...Thanks Wildgeas for letting play.........
A song for a wet day in Sheffield Thanks Johnny.......another one for the Zep album.........I will have to sort out that first verse..........but i hope you enjoy..........
I posted a version of this before. This is the same pretty much except that I put down a real, organic, bass track using my Squier Mustang bass, rather than the old synthetic one. The production is a bit ballsier too...
