Liner Notes
Another rehearsal room recording ruined by ferocious bass-end so you get a home studios version cobbled together in a rush today. I like the words. Two trues stories for the price of one, one a friend of mine from twenty years ago, the other from Andy's sister.
At least I got to have anither go at the guitar introduction, which sounds better now. You'll have to take my word for that, though :)
Lyrics
When Matt met Nat Should have been fate But Nat was gay And Matt was straight
One bed apartment In Stepney Green Two flatmates One bad sex dream
Hang ups will eat you alive Bad choices dictate your life
When Kelvin met Melvin In Milton Keynes They were soul mates If you know what i mean
Like Erasure Formed in Malaysia Peas in a pod Episode of Frasier
True happiness rarely occurs So celebrate it whenever You find it, yeah yeah.
Comments
Those fabulous rhymes and the casual juxtaposition of the two stories make this utterly charming!
Wow, yeah! The initial attack is strong and insistent. Fun lines/story here. I especially like the transitional feel to "Hang ups will eat you alive/Bad choices dictate your life" -- glad you brought that melody back at the end.
