Liner Notes

This was my attempt at writing a song similar to "Carol" by the Peep Tempel. The song also uses that song's chord progression and tempo.

I haven't actually listened to the original recording, but I was introduced to it through other bands playing the song live on a couple of occasions. I also played it in a jam session with other musos (at the time, I was playing drums).

I used the cut-up technique to cut up the lyrics of "Carol" and similar songs by other Australian bands, and used those disconnected words and phrases to write new lines.

Lyrics

[verse 1]
You can't tell me what to do
You think you're sanctimonious
Situations you drag me into
You're always solicitous

[verse 2]
You are a complete philistine
When it comes to the arts
Just a slave to the machine
How about you kiss my arse

[REPEAT VERSE 1]

[Chorus]
Ahh
Ahh
Ahh
Ahh

[Verse 3]
Always best to be positive
Sit and pretend you're my friend
You've got ulterior motives
Well you'll never hear the end

[Chorus]
Ahh
Ahh
Ahh
Ahh

[Verse 4]
I'm bored of the rest of this song
Pride is a terrible failing
Seems I'm right and you're wrong
It's never been plain sailing
