Good news! All of the songs are going to be available as a download-only release, titled "Plastic Fantastic".


The track list is:


The songs have all been remastered from the original recordings and I’ve tried to squeeze the best sound I can from those old bedroom tapes. I’ve put the new versions on the player here, however MySpace streaming is pretty lo-fi and knocks some of the clarity out of them.

The "album" will be released on 25th February on the Damaged Goods label and the catalogue number is DAMIT4. It should be available to download from all the major services (i.e. iTunes) and I’ll post links and more details for those once I have them.

Added 15th March: As well as being sold through iTunes, the tracks can also be found at Damaged Goods
Added 3rd April: Now at emusic too.

She Says

She says, if it's all the same to you
She'd just as well shoot through
'Cos she doesn't like you.

She says, she'd rather be with me
How does that make you feel?
Yes, she doesn't like you.

You both got married at seventeen
Twenty-one ain't so peachy keen
Oh no no no no no...
She doesn't like you.

She says, she won't see you no more
Because you're such a bore,
She doesn't like you.

She says, it makes her feel unwell
To think about that hell,
She doesn't like you.

Spent every night watching TV,
Twenty-one years and now she's free!
With me, yeah yeah yeah yeah...
She doesn't like you.

Peter & Katy

They met at the Priory
Fell in love like Priscilla and Elvis Presley
He's a famous singer in a punk rock band
She's a supermodel with a music stand

They love their substance abuse
Their rock'n'roll lifestyle keeps them in the news
He thinks he's Joe Strummer and Joey Ramoney
Be we all know that he's just a phoney, he's just a phoney

Oh Peter and Katy
The world's most talented junkies
They take drugs and pose for pictures
Sneer at the cameras like real punk rockers, yeah

Always looking front page news
Bizarre in the Sun with the cocaine blues
He looks like a drawing from a manga cartoon
A cross between Sid Vicious and Rodney Bewes

She don't care she's nobody's fool
She can wear clothes, she's so cool
They fell in love when booting balloons
And now they're really shooting the moon, shooting the moon

Oooh the Libertines, Babyshambles too
What became of Bob Ferris...
Well now you know

Plastic Supermodel

I wanna be skinny like the girls on telly
I wanna be cool and chic and trendy
I wanna look like Sindy
I wanna body like Barbie
I wanna be, I wanna be

Supermodel, I wanna be a plastic supermodel
I wanna be a plastic supermodel
A plastic fantastic superstar

I wanna have my face all over magazines
I wanna advertise the latest scene
I wanna go to parties
Hang around with the glitterati
I wanna be, I wanna be

And I'll be on the TV with Richard and Judy
Talking about my latest movie

We go to London once a month
To Selectadisc in Soho
Buy Damaged Goods Records from the Rough Trade shop
That's just off Portobello
We check out the pages of the NME
To see who's playing at the Laurel Tree
And the Monarch
And the Dublin Castle

'Cos we're super lo-fi outta-space sci-fi
Anorak girls, anorak boys
Computer generation, Sony Playstation
Anorak girls, anorak boys
Yeah, we're all anorak girls and anorak boys

Our friends at school think we're not cool
'Cos we only ever talk about records
By groups that they've never heard of before
Who've never been played at the local disco
The Adidas and Nike kids
Don't know what they're saying when they call us gimps
'Cos we know that records are better than clothes

We go Camden Crawling once a year
Stay out past midnight, drink lots of beer
Be sick all over our fanzines on the train back home

I've added the "Anorak Girls" lyrics to the player (although it now seems to have lost the link...) and I will post all the lyrics here on the blog as soon as I get them typed in.

I can't believe that I am being nagged to add the lyrics!  Do you people think we just sit around all day doing nothing?  Ok, don't answer that!

Well, the lyrics to two of the songs are already on the player.  I'll add the rest there and repeat the whole lot here on the blog soon.  Promise.

Now, leave me in peace, I have some daytime tv that urgently needs watching...

Bit of a shock, but we've just put up a brand new track here!

The first new one for 10 years and it's only available on myspace, so don't all rush out to try and buy it (as if!).

Here's the flyer...

We have the full six tracks available:

Cybersex
Anorak Girls
She Says
Billie's Joined the Fanclub
