lyrics

It’s got old friends, it’s got deep ends,
and anything that you wanna do.
There’s people being sequels
of everything that they couldn’t be.
Distraction spreading fashion
like disease at the swimming pool
Won’t you come on down,
I could show you round…

HEY! Is this a place that you’ve been?
For those who don’t know let me set the scene.
The river done run right under the bridge.
Now it’s not quite a city, not quite a village.
Opinionated, belligerent,
Everybody selling some intoxicant
There’s bikes at every corner and the punts to beyond,
There’s cows on the Common and swans at the pond

Full of eccentricities. Got a parrot vocabulary
Of all the places I could call my home, do I belong any more?

Got me living in a two faced town.
Caught me living in a two face town.
Makes me wonder why would I stick around?

In a comfortable rut,
The buildings are old, city full of dust
Band wagons roll by tugging Charlie-Trains
I’ve seen blue-print life styles, social clichés
A big bone, a dirty big bone,
A great big low down mojo-bone
Well the city’s got talent and the city’s got skill
bouncing off the walls of the bubbles they build.

Well your mother and your uncle and your cousin and your lover
Oooo my my, everybody knows each other.
Stabbing backs and talking shit, it’s life inside the Petri-dish

Got me living in a two faced town.
Caught me living in a two faced town.
Makes me wonder why would I stick around.

It’s got shared meat, it’s got bare feet,
And anything that you wanna do.
There’s vultures picking culture
cleaner than the kitchen sink.
Sandpaper against nature
in a garden that’s sinking fast.
Won’t you come on down,
I could show you round.

about

DAFM Cambridge, UK

DAFM's music combines hard rock, flamboyant funk and soulful blues with abstract lyricism and the occasional dash of tasteful psychedelia; a joyous mixing pot of the old and the new that never takes itself too seriously.
Outrageously colourful shirts, shambolic dance routines and groovy improvisational tangents are all standard fare during their raucous live shows. All round good-time party music! ... more
