Mr Soundman
Lyrics: Scott Doonican / Amanda White

Mr. Soundman, don’t have a fit
You have the power to make us sound shit
We’ll thank you when the show is over
Or at least we will if we are sober
Mr Soundman, please don’t get stressed
Our sound-check isn’t an intelligence test
Just show us that wonder stuff
Mr. Soundman, don’t be a chuff

Mr Soundman, let’s reconvene
I need more monitor for my tambourine
Ten DI’s and six miles of cable
And less accordion when you are able
Mr Soundman, don’t misbehave
My vocals sound just like I am in a cave
And please turn off that smoke machine
Where’s me band gone, they can’t be seen

Mr Soundman, don’t make us sound crap
Although we’re comedy we’re not Spin̈al Tap
And don’t get angry when Andy comes late
That’s no excuse to take an early lunch break
Mr Soundman, don’t make us sound shite
Just work yer magic, it’ll turn art alright
Make it sound great out the front
Mr Soundman, don’t be a wazzock

Gaz, having finally got this in the CD player, what an absolute stunner of an album, a glorious document of the hardest year in history, emotions, tears, mass singalongs, “The Old Normal”, one of my absolute key songs of last year and, topping them all, “Rule”, Gaz does full tilt screaming metal and it’s f’ing glorious!
