lyrics

Factory Gates

Take me back to that old gaffe
Where we had such a laugh
We were kings of the park

Take me back to that old place
Where we got off our face
Smoking drugs and staying out after dark

Wasn't life just great
Hanging round with yer mates

Then something happened
We lost the passion
At the factory gates
At the factory gates
I was living down Clapham
When fun went out of fashion
At the factory gates
At the factory gates

Don't be a lazy slob
Get off yer arse and get a job
Then Julie comes up to say
She's in the family way

Take me back to that old time
When we were in our prime
Young guns running wild

Wasn't life just great
Hanging round with yer mates

Then something happened
We lost the passion
At the factory gates
At the factory gates
I was living down Clapham
When fun went out of fashion
At the factory gates
At the factory gates

Comfort Songs
by Cloud

I'd have to eat a thesaurus to describe the wonders of this album! It's neat, great, thought-provoking, comfortable on the ears, beautiful, sublime, poetic, oh and rather musical... STEVE.E

Salem's Bend
by Salem's Bend

Salems Bend is three guys who must have bleeding fingers considering the passion they play with. This is an album of modern rock with tough, grinding guitar sounds, tight drums and bass. STEVE.E
