Let's Eat (Real Soon)

I'm vitamin-enriched
What's more, I'm absolutely wholesome!
No artificial processing or anything so loathsome!
You'll fancy me at lunch, not to mention tea
I'm easily digested naturally!
You'll want to slip me in your kitchen
How'd you like to mother me?
And I'll be tasty, Mr. Pastry, wouldn't that be lovely?
My mother once told me, "eat what you are given"
Don't worry mum, I've realised what fun that could be
It makes a real man of me now, I think you'll agree
I've got more calories than brown bread in me now
No-one can tell !!!
I'm vitamin-enriched
What's more, I'm absolutely wholesome!
No artificial processing or anything so loathsome!
You'll fancy me at lunch, not to mention tea
I'm easily digested naturally!
So don't be scared by the thought
of putting on three extra stone
Disregard all dieting information
It's best to leave well alone
You're better off fully grown!
(Lyrics by Pip Pyle, except last verse by Dave Stewart, music by Richard Sinclair)

Fitter Stoke Has A Bath

You don't suspect my life's a mess
You probably think it's groovy
Meeting people every day
See some place abroad [LP: See some plays abroad]
And I admit that when the time is right
It can be quite a laugh
Even though that's not often [LP: But you know that's not often]
Eventually, I think that you will agree
I'm only putting lines out
And shifting gears, missing years, disappear
As for you, I couldn't bear to think of it
They said you were Swedish
You asked me for a chocolate bar
Then you went and spoilt it all by eating it
What a pain, what a nause
You can imagine my delight
Was like some R. Crumb magazine come to life
Thank you ladies, you had us all
I hope you all enjoyed it [LP: I hope you both enjoyed it]
But just the same
I'm happy just to sit around at home
With Pamela making cups of tea and washing clothes [LP: With Pamela looking elegant and writing prose]
Now anyone could easily see [LP: If anyone's in need of me]
I'm basically a cretin [LP: I'm drowning in the bathroom]
Bing billy bong, silly song's going wrong
Ding dong ding, dong ding dong [LP: Ping pong ping, clong cling clong]
Ping pong ping, I had gone [LP: Tie me up, turn me on]
Bong billy bang, Desperate Dan, frying pan [LP: Bing billy bang, Desperate Dan, frying pan]
Ding dong ding, bong bling blang, Michael Miles, bogey man [LP: Cling clong cling, bong bing bang, Michael Miles, bogey man]

I'm in love with you
If only you knew
Want it
Want you to want me
Andt sometimes
When I'm on my own
Gigging far from home
It gets so lonely
I realize that I need something else
Other than this
It's you I miss
Oh what a lonely lifetime!
Away from you
Find things to do
That help me
Help me forget you
But sometimes
When I'm on my own
Gigging far from home
It gets so lonely
I realize that I need something else
Other than this
It's you I miss
Oh what a lonely lifetime!
(Lyrics by Richard Sinclair, music by Dave Stewart & Richard Sinclair)

Richard Sinclair Martina Franca, Italy
The leading voice of the Canterbury Scene. Beginning with the Wilde Flowers, on to Caravan, Hatfield & the North, Camel and all his recent group efforts, Richard Sinclair's singing and bass playing have been a constant source of delight for lovers of Canterbury music. A deep, low voice, a talent for memorable melodies few can match, plus an imaginative and fluid technique on the bass and guitar. ... more

Holdsworth is up there with McLauglin in the jazzrock-fusion pantheon. And like McLaughlin he seems to have had an open mind for eastern spiritual music. This is quite beautiful. Check it out.

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis.
