The story of The Exploding Hamsters gig at the fabled West Runton pavilion circa 1979
Born in the 80's & reborn in 2014.
Enjoy
Story behind the song
Rob wrote & played the music. Gary wrote & sang the lyics
Lyrics
Tox would book a coach
Meet at NORCAT's gate
We'd be heading to North Norfolk
And we'd be back late
We saw the Ruts, saw the Damned,
Adam and the Ants
Spent our money, found it funny
Simple Minds were pants
We saw the Cure, saw The Stranglers
Dave saw UK Subs
Ian saw Joy Division
Don't think we missed much
Penetration were fantastic
We were buzzing for hours
As teenage boys in Norfolk
The fucking world was ours
Joe Bridge had khaki trousers
And a heart of gold
So he loaded up the gear
And let his tea go cold
Andy had his drums
In the back of Mark's wheels
Dave Taylor had a guitar
And a sheep to steal
Steve Rourke was in Winston
But he couldn't wait
Looked at Rob, gave a nod
Began to levitate
Army boy parked his bike
Rob grabbed his bass
And I squeezed in the middle
Of that Hamster space
Exploding Hamsters are playing
The Hamsters are playing
West Runton Pavillion
Exploding Hamsters are playing
The Hamsters are playing
West Runton Pavillion
