Eb
Well, it must have been about half past two in the morning, and just sitting
there in the front
Eb
room, with Carl and Brendan and Adrian. We’re just sitting listening to
music, drinking tea,
Eb
talking about the Palace Brothers, Bonnie Prince Billy, that kind of thing.
All of a sudden the
Eb
room fills with a harsh brightness and in barges my sister mob-handed from
cream. She points
Eb
at the speakers on the stereo and starts chanting: “Shit band, no fans. Shit
band no fans.”
Eb

isolationist period.”
Eb

Eb
years into my secret hayloft, shot with shafts of afternoon sunlight:
D D7
Brendan’s changed his name to Federal Metronome.
A7 D G A7 D

G E A7 D G

A7 D G E Eb

Eb

Eb

Eb
They subscribe to “Erotic Review” because it’s broadsheet acceptable, and
they can read it
Eb
in bed with their partners and perhaps try out suggested oils. Ah, but they
still feel the need
Eb
to board an EasyJet to Amsterdam every now and again.
D D7
‘Cos you can’t get “Teenage Eskimo” in Wantage.
A7 D G A7 D
See the keepers hanging rancid in the glade
