Ok, thanks again for the feedback. Not too sure what people mean by frenetic or manic...
It's supposed to be in the tradition of Ray Davies' style music hall stuff, with the emphasis on Britishness, although I'll admit that the ambition outstripped the technical ability. It kinda has three sections musically and I did struggle a bit to get them to flow. For such a short song, it was a bugger to get finished.
I'd probably do it differently if I started it again.
Anyway, for those who requested the lyrics (I didn't realise that was a thing when posting songs, it didn't seem to be when I posted here a few years back), here they are
Look out of your window when you're lonely
And there's no-one else around
Imagine the feeling when we're all set free?
Feet won't even touch the ground
It's only a rumour it just can't be true
I can't get my head 'round this
No matter what you try to tell me
I know ignorance is bliss
Yankee Doodle won't take his medicine
Puts his trust all in the lord
Big Johnny England gets his sovereignty
Lives and dies by his own sword
The earth is dying and we're much too late
And we're worked into the ground
Bread and circuses are what we get
Singing as the ship goes down
Singing as the ship goes down
and for those who'd like to hear the song without all the bells and whistles, here's a live version-
Thanks again for your time folks and I promise to stick around and check out other people's music.
