Story behind the song
Mixture of memories..."Feathers Tossed" refers to a band we supported once called Toss The Feathers, "Chinese Dr Spin" was a "Manager" of our band, who ran a Chinese Info Centre and was always a good Spin Doctor. "Bridge of 18 dreams"...some railway arches in Stockport, near Manchester, UK, where as teenagers, we often headed for some "inspiration"..... I guess the underlying message is, be proud of your work/art/music, whatever...don't put yourself down, and most of all, have fun doing it!
Lyrics
Caught a glimpse 'cross a crowded room
you flashed a smile my way
tongue tied and twisted when we met
nothing i could say
Head for the door
and gun my old 'Ford
to the bridge of 18 dreams
Moonlights calling
alone again
nothings as it seems...
Don't deny
Your homegrown pride
just be proud what you done
inspiration, dedication
you dont have to be no 1
just have some fun
----------------------------
Years away from yesterday
I wonder what became
of kids from school
and drunken fools
that came to watch us play
Feathers tossed and battles lost
that nobody could win
yellow pages, rock of ages
Chinese Dr Spin
----------------------------
Don't deny
Your homegrown pride
just be proud what you done
inspiration, dedication
you dont have to be no 1
just have some fun
