Slowfire |
The Streets - what a name. Alan Kelly on bass and Dick Laing on drums. We didn't quite take the world of rock music by storm, more a kind of fine drizzle. Some of the songs I wrote were OK, but they soon got dropped in order to play safe, please the punters, get the gigs. We turned into a covers band. We used to play the BBC bar at the Open University campus (Dick and
Alan both worked for the BBC), Woughton Campus on Sundays and The Vaults
in Stony Stratford, as well as anything else that turned up, pubs, weddings.
It was fun but I was already 30-something and the sheer drudgery of
setting up, taking down, carrying round loads of gear was very little
fun. |
I thought I knew all of the angles this one's a little acute a small frog in a big pond chasing after a newt you got the pride, I got the glory let's make this a true love story
Chorus:
As nervous as a kitten
I thought I knew all of the angles |
