Glam Rock for the Future, Power Pop for Progessives, Martinis at 5:00.
We are the trans-Atlantic alliance of Bob Kingdon, from England and Eric Daum from New England. We are a virtual band inspired by the music of Bill Nelson, Power Pop and girls in short skirts and tight shirts. Bob handles the guitars, Eric, the keyboards, loops and programming as well as dabbling with his ancient Rickenbacker on a few songs. Both Bob and Eric sing and share songwriting. In addition, we sometimes set the poems of Carole Young, a Scottish poet to music.

Lyrics
The Happy Song (Life Sucks) Eric Daum 2009 Every day is just like another Sometimes I wonder why I even bother From good to bad and bad to worse Each new day brings a different curse When the world in turning grinds you down Just replace your smiley face with a frown When life gives lemons don't make lemonade But squeeze the juice into the cuts that life's made I've made my bed and here I lie Cross my heart and hope to die None of my sins can be forgiven Life Sucks and then you go on livin' I've made my bed and here I lie Ita€™s enough to make a grown man cry All hope from my soul has been driven Life Sucks and I go on livin' Life's a joke thata€™s been played on us by God He's taking lessons from the Marquis De Sade There is no reason there is no hope They know that wea€™ll hang when we have enough rope We've made our beds and here we lie We've cut ourselves too big a piece of the pie None of our sins can be forgiven Life Sucks but we go on livin' Life Sucks but we go on livin'
