the "band" is me. i love indy pop! british indy pop is my favorite. i was heavily into bands like the house of love, xtc, echo & the bunnymen, the smiths, the pixies (my fellow americans), the cure, simple minds, tears for fears, thomas dolby, prefab sprout, the wonderstuff...i could go on for days... i did these tunes as a demo way back in 1993-94. they're short on purpose. i never intended them for public consumption. the plan was to find other (better) musicians - and a proper singer - to play the parts that i'd arranged; and to only use these recordings to help the intended musicians to learn their parts. the one titled "i wanna be ignored" is a twist on the title of the stone roses' amazing "i wanna be adored". now, let's see how much ignoring i can get on this site ;)

Story behind the song
the amazing lyrics to the stone roses' "i wanna be adored" motivated the chorus for this song. the rest of the lyrics to this song are just meaningless non sequiturs that popped into my head and sounded funny to me at the time. it's not about anything; not about anybody.
Lyrics
just my luck you love me too much you adore me but i'd rather be ignored really but not today. please, stay? --- gotta fix these miles between us help me strap my rockets on see her face in a broken window her head is aglow like a bulb it's so full of ideas ------ just my luck you love me too much you adore me but i'd rather be ignored really but not today ------- just you wait and see you'll find i'm hard you're so young and tender as pretty as a picture by the window mind the stones ------ don't curse the rain bless the clouds drill a hole in my head watch the worm wriggle out
