about

ABOUT THIS TRACK:

This song is a size and space exploration in the Pop song medium. Using elasticated bass precision and ancient organ strings please think about eating a silver hand revolver made of bubble gum for a moment here.

The fizzed-up crooner's father came home smelling of delicious candy, cardboard and cigarettes but would not offer or explain why the candy jars were forbidden to the young green boy. So then a son must turn to a black cat and steal keys to said shop and the secret itch turns to bass lines made of bending wham bars and fizz.

lyrics

LYRICS:

Wooly, he was a robber who
Worked in my father’s mobile shop
Wooly, he light the fags
Wooly was grey like the grey skies
Above the housing estate
And he liked to smoke all day
He puffed the profits away

Manus used to work in my father’s mobile shop
Always dressed in red inside my father’s shop
Jim Bar brought the sweets to my father’s mobiles shop
But only my father knows who robbed my father’s shop
Sometimes it was me
And my siblings
At midnight
On the driveway, it was parked
Till morning it would stay
And then my father would drive his mobile shop away
goodbye father, have a great day

The first law of gold I learned in my father’s mobile shop
The second law of gold I learned in my father’s mobile shop
Swat the robber, swat the robber the mobile shop is going under
If you want to keep your treasure then you better catch the Robber
Sometimes it was me
Sorry
I stole the keys
I was a teenage priest who goes where he goes
In the mobile shop
In the mobile shop

Catch the robber catch the robber the mobile shop is going Under.

Junk Drawer lead the pack, swerving into unsettling territory - I love this band's sheer unpredictability. I remember their gig at Output where they followed an excellent set by The Bonk. These guys are the cat's pyjamas! Ursula's Crow
