More Maurice I say! Gaz tag:www.www.foyvance.com:/content_article_410/7902 2008-10-04T23:53:34Z 2008-10-04T23:53:34Z What a great song! Where can we hear more of Maurice's stuff? mark tag:www.www.foyvance.com:/content_article_410/7929 2008-10-05T18:15:47Z 2008-10-05T18:15:47Z First off, apologies to Paul, aka Max, for adding to his burden. Secondly, yeah, sounds like a pretty cool song. Whether it compares favourably with a Foy Vance song is another question, but clearly, that wasn't the purpose of the exercise, so it's a question which need not be raised here(he says raising it). Also, at the risk of offending everyone, being a half Welsh /Half Cockney I can't make out the lyrics too clearly. Wot with Amy W(h)inehouse singing in Polish and you, Foy, singing in your native Belfast accent a half wit like me can't hear what you are singing about too clearly. Something about Klingons at the start (is it based on the Star Wars trilogy?) and 'the days drift by like scenes from a moving train' seems like a nice lyrical idea....I suspect the rest of the lyric could be equally interesting/compelling.

And the wheezing geezer - the rattling man - puts a hand to his heart, leans an oil-stained palm on a windowpane... the owner complains... And the days drift by like scenes from a moving train. Don't know if I'll be this way, don't know if I'll be this way again. Daddy's in denim... got a bad cough. Sonny with a walkman, mummy switches off for a family break. Sister's converted - she's changing her ways, catalysed by an "ozone holy joe" she met just the other day... she gets carried away... and the days drift by like scenes from a moving train etc. Behind lace curtains and bubble-glass doors, there's a man in a red coat watching re-runs of all the best wars. He tips his ash into his cup of tea, picks up the remote, flicks around, checks out what's on TV, but there's nothing to see..... and the days drift by etc. Stephen Macartney tag:www.www.foyvance.com:/content_article_410/8343 2008-10-11T11:37:51Z 2008-10-11T11:37:51Z Hey Foy! What a great song, it's one of my favourites too. And a damn fine version of it, my hats off to yourself and Steve! Hope to catch up with you again sometime soon..

Hope you guys had a top night. It's 'Jack' actually, not Max though I'm warming to that one now heh heh. After a Mr C.S.Lewis and because 'Barbara' wasn't really working for me.. That call centre story just gave me chills, I'd put a little lock on that particular door in my brain!! Give us a shout if you're ever playing out Oxford way mate, would love to catch a show! Speaky soon! - Jack/Max/Paul/Barbara.
