about

When Julian Cope did that Rock Section remix single he asked me if there were any more lyrics I sent them all to him here is a track with a shortened version.

"WTF, wow, this sounds massive!" "The urgency of the song is killing me. The layered Stooges piano bits are gorgeous. The fuzz too. It's a belter of a death disco hit. That fuzz is relentless. Stream-of-consciousness vocals are great as well." AQ

lyrics

New Rock Section

Dance to the beat
Dance to the beat
Dance to the beat
Of the drum
Dance to the beat
Dance to the beat
Dance to the beat
Of the drum
We’re not going to die
We’re gonna dance
To the music
Of the new rock section
We’re not going to die
We’re gonna dance
To the music
Of the new rock section

Down, down, down, down
Deep down we go

There was an old bluesman
There was a young blues man
And Everybody
Everybody understands
From Chicago to L.A.
Detroit to Dusseldorf
Back again to New York
Your resident Sparrowhawk
I’m your Soul Brother
Standing on the corner
With my blood slowly drying
On the strings of my guitar
Don’t mess with me
‘Cos I got protection
I’m the living proof
Of the Resurrection
I walk upon this Earth
And they call me Rock Section

I woke up this morning, got on the bus
And there I was, there I was
A gigantic hoax
Self-perpetuating
Everything’s happening like a landslide
A landslide going on up
But stagnant water is
Lying over me
As a voice whispers in my ear
Over my torn shirtsleeve
Hey Jim,
Look over there
Two gendarmes at the end of the bath
With my battered guitar in their hands
Clanking on their guns
As they were singing ‘La Mer’

Down, down, down, down
Deep down we go
To Les Bains Douche

It’s Weird this week
Where are you now that I need you?
In the old Guerbois Baths?
Les Bains Douche
How much for your clothes
And the work of your fingers
I'd much rather be
A cemetery singer
Where the model's parade
And the wannabees linger
300 francs
Is the price of your seat?
For an hour or so
Then back on your feet
Maybe just slide along
And see who you meet
I don't much like vodka
I'd rather tequila
It’s all part of the game
And I'm happy to be here.

Dance to the beat
Dance to the beat
Dance to the beat
Of the drum
I told them I was murdered
And I didn't want to die
I was held down in the bathtub
By some record company guy
Hey Ray we're in the papers
Looks like I've done it again
Another weekend slaughter
Rock Section is my name

What did I tell ya
LA give up your kicks
Or they are gonna kill ya
With another little fix
They called me the Lizard King
Rock Section is my name
But you will only know me
By the echo of my fame
