about

"I think it's impossible to spend over thirty-five years with toes dipped into the murky waters of the music 'business' without accumulating a degree of cynicism and apathy. A spleen must sometimes be vented."

lyrics

HIP HIP PARADE

Let's pretend it's only lies
They sent you over borderlines
They set you up and watched it fly
You'll never understand it, why?

A promise made to the plaudits
One more take than you saw fit

Knock them out and lay them down
The merry making goes around
You signed the deal in full surround
Now shut your mouth and hunker down

It's an awkward phase and you fought it
Two mistakes and you caught it
Bullshit talks
Can you walk it?

Eventually they did you wrong
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
They had to see you're doing well
They bought your rights and made a sale
It's covered up but they can tell
The evidence still burns in hell

And it's bullshit talking, you bought it
Promise breaks and you thought it
No mistaking you caught it
Called it familiar bullshit

Hip hip hooray
Hip hip hooray
Hip hip parade
Hip hit parade
Shit hit parade
