Sound quality may not be great, I mean we had no microphone and were sitting about a room at George’s dad’s. These are the words of the first song we sing which I wrote at 18, two years before we recorded this.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>&g> It’s a Blue Sky don’t Hold no Rain. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We came across some bones of men
Scattered in the rust
So many good souls turned to dust
Within these shattered husks
And these people had worn jewels
And their heads had been held high
Speckled foreheads touched the sky
Behold the sparkling in their eyes
Don’t you know it’s a blue sky don’t hold no rain
Don’t hold your love in vain
‘Cos we’ve still got some loving to do
Some time ago the white man came
Bringing bible, books and sword
Bound them up in twining cords
In the name of their great Lord
They slew down the Aztec, Inca, Ibu, Masai
Now we hide in concrete lies
To my Mammon side I cry
What have we done
To the Mother Goddess Gaia?
Why can’t we nessle in her
Warm aching bosom?
Just a little drop of rain
Just a little drop of rain
Just a little drop of rain
Come bless this land again
(repeat x3)
Now the world’s a spinning ball
Two thirds with none to eat
So while we chew our scrawny meat
Can you hear those big bells bleat?
What have we done to
The Mother Goddess Gaia
Why can’t we nessle
In her warm aching bosom
The above album of odd ditties, along with songs and jams from the 90s and early 00s, has bits and bobs of songs written back in the 80s, though earliest recordings on it are Oct 31st 1991 in a church in Ashburton Devon. It starts with 3 Spacegoat tunes. These 3 are the first ever Spacegoats recordings, also made in Devon, from late 1992.
