Another W.I.P.
I started this at the beginning of the month and it's progressing reasonably well.
There's a decent chance the original Pygmy Beat singer will sing this one which is cool IF it eventuates.
For the moment I've done a draft vocal to test the lyric & melody.
Written and drafted in BIAB.
Of that BIAB draft only

RealDrum NashvilleEven8^8 a & b
Cello 2456
&
Strings 2457
remain.
I've added guitars, Bruno Royal Artist - semi acoustic six string single coil, through a Marshall, a couple with a trem pedal, one track through a VoxinaBox.
Knockhofner bass via a Behringer BDI21
Vocals, as they were a draft, through a cheap Behri dynamic mic, hand held & sung quietly sitting at the desk.
This was a rarity in that the lyrics came well after the backing and only a snatch of melody preceded them.
I'm looking forward to any/all commentary. Suggestions elsewhere are that the bass is too loud & the guitars not bright enough.

LYRICS:
The Spaghetti Puppets

V1 No, there's nothing to say,
When your mind's made up,
It's down to you.
No, no reason to stay,
For me & you

C1 The age of entitlement,
Eclipsed the age of enlightenment.
The age of conspiracy,
Eclipsed the age of you & me.
It comes - to this. It's down to you.

V2 No, there's nothing to do,
When the time is up,
It's up to you.
No, you know that it's true,
The truth we knew.

C2 The age of entitlement,
Eclipsed the age of enlightenment.
The rage for conspiracy
Eclipsed believability.
It's come - to this. For all we knew.

V3 No, there's nothing to change,
When the jig is up,
There are no tricks.
No, now reason is gone,
We cannot fix.

C3 The age of entitlement,
Eclipsed the age of enlightenment.
The ageing conspiracy
Eclipsed the grasp of history.
It's come - to this. Nought we can do.

C4 The age of entitlement

The age of conspiracy

It's come - to this.
