The Tone Deaf Tenors are exactly what their name implies - wannabes who sing like they're Pavarotti and guitarists who play like Yngwie on steroids - at least in their minds. In reality, they are an up and coming band whose heart is psychedelic and Brit-pop flavoured indie pop/rock, Prog-rock, experimental pop (very 60s and 70s sounding) and Garage Rock and proto-Punk - ala the Velvets and the Stooges. The Tenors are currently the Nameless Composer and Daniel Evangelisti, but hope to expand in the future and start gigging and releasing. Expect demos posted up here on at our other website (www.myspace.com/thetonedeaftenors) very soon.

Story behind the song
Well I've always loved 90s British pop, Oasis, Blur.etc, so I thought I'd write a song honouring that, and enscapsulating that elevating moment of pure cathartic ecstasy - when you are the 'centre of it all'.
Lyrics
BRITPOP BAND (C) 2007 Played with capo on 2nd fret in key of B major (actual chords shown, not positions or shapes) When I was young my eyes were never turned to Manchester or London B E B E B E B B E/F# I never cared much for music then maybe I did and I just didn't know it B E B E B E B E No Oasis on the TV screen no Damon Albarn on my wall B E B E B E B E/F# Now things have changed somewhat and I dream of the Union Jack B E B E B E B E/F# I want my own Great Escaaaaaa-pe, what's the Story Morning Glory G#m C# B/E/B/E/B/E/B G#m C# B/E/B/E/B/E G#x4 rapidly CHORUS I wanna be in a Britpop band B E B E I wanna be the centre of it all B E B E/F# I wanna have the feeling that B E B E I'm never ever going to fall (to fall, to fall, to fall...backup singers) B E B I think the way they talk's so cool I want to talk just like them But they'll probably laugh at me and rightly call me a twat ["right twat"] in an English accent If you're pommie you're so cool seems to be the name of the game Write a song for Top of the Pops even though it sounds the same Don't forgot those other bands Suede, Supergrass, The -- Verve CHORUS I wanna play in a Britpop band I wanna be the centre of it all I wanna have the feeling that I'm never ever going to fall SOLO Watch me up there swagger like Jagger thinking I'm the best in the world Under no illusion that I'll ever get back on my feet I'm not taking the Mickey but if I do it's all in good fun You all need to lighten up cos you don't have the sunshine What's the story morning glory I want my own great escape
