recorded live at "the old ship inn" worksop, during best left deads first gig sometime in 1978. probably about putting things behind you , discarding the past and building afresh.
(live at the ship)life and death in a dead end relationship.
an attack on the banality of the days media and its sensationalistic journalists who thought they were making the news rather than just reporting it.
this one is about taking responsibility for your own actions. it was my first ever solo composition but they refused to let me sing on it. those who have heard me will know why. i'd just perfected my chuck berry duck walk inna punkee stylee which went very well with the little bass run in the middle.
a voyeuristic view of the mundanity of life.

a love paean
"existence is a matter of life and death , hanging on for all your bodies worth, my life hangs by the touch of your fingertips , my lifes blood is the sweat of your palms , tell me dear do you dream of death , do i have to love somebody else , is this the end or is this the start , my life hangs by the beat of your heart"
gothic meisterwork about final loss. oooh we were dark =0) i like to think that new order heard this and then went off and wrote "in a lonely place" . cutting edge ,? pah ! we shit broken glass baby.
"over fields and hills , i see a man , a man who's dressed in a camoflage green , he carries a gun , he carries a smile , on his lips he tells of the apocalypse jive"
the jive go mutant disco and do a song about my favourite pair of shoes.
"we're sitting in a cold room, you're flirting with death , you're icy from a distance , colder still in truth"
i dream of genie
(company records cr820911) released sept 11 1982
love , obsession and confused sexuality.
"tip some powder in my coffee/vodka , can't tell the difference had no choice"
the outcome
"ive got to reach the outcome in my life , maybe show the world someday , oh this damn joke its gone on far to long , you'll be proud of what i say"
the futility of empire. probably.
"chained to the wall , i call to my enemies , calling their names at the height of the fighting , hoping to god that my hearts in the right place cos lifes not the same when youre heart isnt in it , many a time when i prayed to my saviour, i found that he struck back and called me a liar , the crack of the whip leaves me cold and unmoved but at the fall of the hammer im in heaven"
