Eleven Fires
Hmmm...a radically different slant on NIGE'n'TREV's oft-repeated Caribbean Club anecdote featuring DALE MARSHALL'S drumming talents, piano by PAUL GIBBON and the usual stuff from Clack and Fish.

About the song
Yawn! Here we go AGAIN....right,in the good ol' days there used to be a venue in Oxford called The Caribbean Club. We'd always go there after the pubs closed because you could drink Red Stripe until two in the morning and there'd usually be some local band playing on the little stage. Anyway, one night, Nige and Trev's roadie Tommy is walking down the street and he bumps into this posh bloke called 'Allum' who he hadn't seen for ages. 'Allum' used to hang around with us but he was always different. Well brought up like, you know, not short of a bob or two. Anyway, Tommy says to him 'HEy Allum! Long time no see. Where you off to then?' 'Oh We're going to the Caribbean' Says 'Allum', his arm round a pretty girl. 'Great. Who's playing tonight?' replies Tommy all excited. 'Allum' looks slightly embarrassed. 'Er..no. We're going to the CARIBBEAN'. Tommy watched them walk off with their suitcases. The girl wasn't really THAT pretty...

Lyrics
I've decided on eleven fires
to light the way to my heart
yaow yaow baby yeahh
plunder them
Where you off to then
Oh we're going to the Caribbean
Says Allum, his arm round a pretty girl.
Great who's playing tonight replied Tommy
All excited.
Allum looked slightly embarrassed.
Er no we're going to the Caribbean
Tommy nodded and watched them walk off.
Do you see what I'm trying to say
Do you see what I'm trying to say
The bloke thought
Baby Jesus
Were Tommy and Allum
the same height
Yup
The same weight
Yes
Ehh Ehh
So you could say they were the same size
Exactly
Great the next morning Tommy woke up with a
Red Stripe hangover
Fully clothed on his Louise's sofa
Light the way
blubbered blubbered
To my heart
beep beep
Light the way
I've decided on eleven fires
Light the way
blubbered blubbered
Plunder them
Light the way
Eleven ways
Yaow plunder them
The way
Eleven fires
My heart
Attention tension
to light the way to my heart
yaow yaow baby yeahh
plunder them
Where you off to then
Oh we're going to the Caribbean
Says Allum, his arm round a pretty girl.
Great who's playing tonight replied Tommy
All excited.
Allum looked slightly embarrassed.
Er no we're going to the Caribbean
Tommy nodded and watched them walk off.
Do you see what I'm trying to say
Do you see what I'm trying to say
The bloke thought
Baby Jesus
Were Tommy and Allum
the same height
Yup
The same weight
Yes
Ehh Ehh
So you could say they were the same size
Exactly
Great the next morning Tommy woke up with a
Red Stripe hangover
Fully clothed on his Louise's sofa
Light the way
blubbered blubbered
To my heart
beep beep
Light the way
I've decided on eleven fires
Light the way
blubbered blubbered
Plunder them
Light the way
Eleven ways
Yaow plunder them
The way
Eleven fires
My heart
Attention tension
