Lyric -
So Jennifer sits…
A song for/about Charles Manson.
If you think you've found an answer
Inside a 45
You need another needle and indeed you needed Beatles to realise
Speaking on the record
Backwards just to you
First the curses then perverted verses…
A song about the five stages of grieving, as devised by the (late) Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. Unfortunately knowing these stages does not help you get over them.
You've been managing expectations
Consultations end in tears
Even if you're optimistic…

At the 23rd hour we consider whether we've made the right decisions.
Written and recorded less the 48 hours before the end of the RPM challenge deadline. I wonder why.
Is this our 23rd hour
Sixty minutes to go
Are we counting the seconds…

Sending home pay
All he can afford
Mummy pretends
But I notice that something has changed
The letters…
En Francais.
English lyric:
I don't know why there is not another girl for me here
Or near here,
But over there are plenty of girls for him
What a shame - what a shame
Every day I watch the men and boys with girls on the beach…

In which Johnny puts his side of the story.
Backstory (reprise)

Yours is
The body in the bath
That keeps me overflowing…

Lyric -
So Jennifer sits…
This album is very captivating. You definitely wear your influences on your sleeve, but it's a certainly a good shirt.
This is playing like a concept album - is there a theme to all of this? I'm detecting links between the various tracks.
Standing, waiting, shivering, waiting, hoping, waiting, crying - all the while being cruelly mocked by the passage of time, and my analogue watch. It was not a very nice night.
Peter Fedofsky plays the piano on this song.
If you could…
A nasty little story wrapped in a very short country song.
When I took your tiny hand it struck me cold
And I though cool hands warm hands warm heart is what I've been
But I know that wasn't
When It came to one like you
So I signed that…

Raise up your right hand…

The cover I did off Uglifruit's 2010 RPM submission. The drums are a pair of hotrod sticks, that I made, hitting my keyboard table. The "kick drum is the stick hitting the pop screen while the mic was on.
I still need to fade...

Beach Boys meet The Beatles, Quite Cool. Track 2 and 4 my Fav's!
Love those harmonies. This reminds me of very early BeeGees music. ER
The "ShooBeDoBa" at the beginning gave me a start, but I like the song overall. Nice harmonies. ER
this is one catchy tune
Really nice ending to the album. Simple. Also, beautiful sounding acoustic... what did you use for that?
Ahhhh, love it. From halfway, it starts to sound like Click Clock Woods from Banjo Kazooie. That's a good thing; I love that level.
Really dig this track. Lush, very professional and classique sounding. Well done!
Excellent album :)
Wow! This strikes me the way old Beatles records do. Very Excellent.
Very cool name.
man you really sound like the guy from Klaatu on this song!!
The mellotron sound is Meltron 1.0 (freeware vst) by ArtiFake. For a freebie I found it very usable, and it's found all over this album.

match made in heaven.. two of my favourite artists from RPM last year..
oh christ.. sent a chill!
this is my favourite of that little section of the album. beautiful.
really enjoying this suite.. absolutely masterfully executed.. something I would love to be able to emulate but wouldnt even embarrass myself by trying. very impressive
like the storyteller style to this.. hope this isnt a bad thing to you (isnt to me!) but i'd liken this to 10cc. 2.38 - very interesting section!
interesting touch!
ha. brilliant. although i did enjoy his iron door. mental, but cracking all the same. :)

@Will I Ram. Whilst I've written smut before, I don't *think* that was the intention here!
30th March. Replaced with a slightly alternative mix. (Wasn't happy with the first one, on reflection.)
This gets my official 'thumbs up seal of approval'. I really enjoyed what you have done with this.

Apoloigies, I didn't log in. Just saying this song is great. It reminds me of the Kinks - which is A Good Thing.
Thanks. I am very flattered and appreciate you taking the time to listen.
