02/10/19

...sending all my albums from 1982 over to Germany..

Then, giving feedback on a minute or so long track that Creeker Craig had created for his daughter's dance show...

It was good...

And, of course, I ended up stealing it and turning into a new CBQ track which, before the night was out, was up on the Twitter for limited stream/download...

Track 12 on the new LP perhaps...

The mock up of the new LP soundtracked my drift into dreamland...

Everyone around the world, all the boys and all the girls
Must have a pair of dancing shoes (let's dance) and pay no heed to the daily news

So get together boys and girls and beat the freaks around the world
And don't accept the way things are, there's a better way than hitting the bar

Read the books and believe the science, everyone's welcome in the rebel alliance
Don't let's fuck the world so badly, things don't have to end so sadly

Another world's light years away, we need to sort this out today
So fuck the old fucks and let them know, the boys and the girls are running the show

Nothing they can do will ever stop us, we must form a brand new caucus
And dance our way to the seats of power and watch the old fucks bow and cower

This is how it's going to be, fuck the old fucks and make them see
This is how it's going to be, fuck the old fucks and make them see

Yeah

This is how it's going to be, fuck the old fucks and make them see

Yeah
