No-one pulled your strings
No-one kicked your arse
No-one focused sunlight on you
With a magnifying glass
If you have something to say
Say it to the whole class
'Cos no-one is responsible for you except you
No-one is your boss
No-one makes the rules
And even if the voices advised you
Then who's the bigger fool?
If you have someone legitimate to blame
Say a name, say a name
'Cos no-one is responsible for you except you
Every day
A little more of you slips away
Every day...
No-one saw your hand
You held the strongest cards
But you played 'em like a novice
So now you're right back to the start
You can't sack the director
When you're only a bit part
No-one is responsible for you except you
Every day
A little more of you slips away
Every day...
Chris T-T - "Tinman" (2003)
On the plus side, the gigs by Chris T-T and Therapy? I went to tonight and the night before respectively were fucking awesome. How exactly Chris T-T is still largely unknown while talentless shitehawks like Kasabian and Razorlight are getting into the Top 30 is a mystery to me - really, do yourself a favour and look up some of his stuff now.
Therapy? - probably the best gig by them I've seen for a few years. Also had the added bonus of running into all-round top bloke Mr matt_organic at the gig (curiously we both got assailed at the bar by some bloke trying to talk us into a ska-punk all-nighter - suffice to say we both said "nope"). For anyone else wondering what's happened to him, fret not, he's merely living in a house with no internet connection atm and hopes to have it rectified and sends his regards to anyone who knows him.
On the minus side, both the band and agency are sadly no more.
I'm now in the process of maybe getting back out and getting some more gigs under my belt as Billy Two Rivers (my sort of Billy Bragg-style acoustic punk poet alter ego) and setting a new agency up. Will let everyone know more as and when there's more to know.
Take care you lot,
Yorkie
