Song For Mr Boom Song For Mr Boom
Song about sometimes losing a bit of the wonder and hope we have when we're young. The words 'Mr Boom' are used with the kind permission from Andy Munro.
Caledonia Dreamin' Caledonia Dreamin'
Folksy psychodelilah, Wullie Pullar on electric guitars and keys, Kelvin's acoustic guitar, Samantha and Marilyn giving it their all, Wonkfloosh at the controls. Even some stringy synth on the choruses. Whats happened here?
Baltimore Baltimore
Elements of R Newman's song combined with a strict 39 Dangerous Street rewrite combine to produce a thing of beauty.
Wrong Turn Wrong Turn
The cold wind of misery, confusion and lack of direction in life combines with regular everyday existential angst to develop a theme which is like having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.
