Anyway Berry McPaper-cuts, I do know Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep, but I think I was 6 when it came out and my review of the song even at that tender age earned me a clip round the ear for teaching Mum a new word.
I enjoyed Peaking Lights seven or eight years ago when they were doing trippy lo-fi dubby stuff, but then they tried to commercialise their sound and it didn't work due to some ropey production techniques. But they've finally got it, or should I say they got it last year and didn't tell me.
Blind Corner from Sea Of Sand EP by Peaking Lights
Another one for Nellie, this is hilarious and brilliant.
If I had wings, I wouldn't do anything beautiful and transcendent No, I'd get my finger into everything I wanted I'd do all the beautiful things, those things you can't do Because nobody wants you to be able to do the things that make you feel good Like you can't smoke on the aeroplane I remember smoking on the aeroplane I used to love the smoke on the airplane Those were the golden days of air travel They would just open the door at the airport And you'd walk right out the tarmac And up those stairs and light a big cigarette And stick it in the ashtray and the stewardess would come along And if she was hot, you can try to pick her up Once I was flying from New York to DC, I didn't have much time And the stewardess was smoking She was a dusky tall American beauty And I put down my tray table, snorted a gram of cocaine Till I got up my courage to say, "Can I have your phone number?" And she gave me the number, that was the good news The bad news was I got too stoned and I lost the number The stewardess would've been better than the cocaine I made an error in judgement But still I remember smoking on the aeroplane Smoking on the aeroplane Smoking on the aeroplane, everybody did it They gather at the back on the way to Australia And all puff up at once outside the bathroom And that's why if I had wings That would be a bad idea, hahahahaha, I guess According to everything I've been taught about the laws of Ethics and karma and good behaviour, hahahahaha If I had wings, I'd go, yum, yum, yum-yum, yum-yum, yum, ow! I'd have fun If I had wings, I'd have fun Smoking on the aeroplane
