Before You Fell

Before You Fell

Foxtrot across the shiny, sprung dancefloor of music biz chat with your hosts Tim Riley and Damian Scott as they explore the world of pub gigs, Bond themes, tribute acts and other assorted nonsense. All capped off with their delightful new (8 years in the making) co-written song 'Before You Fell'. Yes, it's another ballroom blitz episode of MAGIC RABBITS.

Watercolours

Tiptoe daintily through the tulips of lyricism with Tim and Damian in an unusually wordy podcast episode. Explore with them the joys of metaphor, simile, assonance, alliteration, prosody and dog walks. Discover their favourite song lyrics with another brief encounter with Tim’s old mate Art Garfunkel. All culminating in the spectral, jazz-infused brushstrokes of ‘Watercolours’,their latest re-recorded song from their old Templemen band days. It’s a belter.

The Things We Said In Bed

Abseil down the vertiginous sheer face of rock (and pop) with Tim and Damian in another adventure-filled episode of the podcast you never knew you needed. This time, join the lads as they recall the (Edinburgh) Fringe benefits of being in the world’s most underrated and undiscovered brilliant band. All descending rapidly toward a pristine reworking of Tim’s least favourite (and Damian’s most favourite) song: ‘The Things We Said In Bed’. Frankly, it’s all a bit ropey.

Peter and Jane

Hold hands once again with Tim and Damian as they skip merrilythrough the swaying, golden fields of musical nonsense. Marvel at the lush, verdant gorgeousness of this week’s song, ‘Peter and Jane’. And hear the lads expound on the joys and merits of artistic collaboration, living in the Lake District, and Disney musicals. It’s another forty-odd minutes of audio pleasure. With a specific emphasis on the ‘odd’. LYRICS: Peter and Jane Music: Damian Scott Words: Tim Riley   The daring deeds of a daring man Can’t impress you in the way I can The meek and mildness of human kindness Can get to you You   Peter and Jane watch movies Shouldn’t we do that Peter and Jane go walking Wouldn’t that be good And when they’re stuck for words They gaze into each other’s eyes And when they’re stuck for words They gaze   Lucky for me you especially Like to hear my voice constantly How long will it take For this ice to break Through   Peter and Jane watch movies Shouldn’t we do that Peter and Jane go walking Wouldn’t that be good And when they’re stuck for words They gaze into each other’s eyes And when they’re stuck for words They gaze   Now and again you seem to be A completely different person to me It’s so confusing I keep losing touch With you   Peter and Jane watch movies Shouldn’t we do that Peter and Jane go walking Wouldn’t that be good And when they’re stuck for words They gaze into each other’s eyes And when they’re stuck for words They gaze

Tea and Biscuits

Time again to clamber aboard the soul-fired train of musical memories with your drivers Tim and Damian. This week, the mates present ‘Tea and Biscuits’, a song that draws upon the stop-frame joys of Trumptonshire and tabloids. Along the scenic route, they’ll discuss life, first jobs, and Tim’s close and lasting relationship with Billy Bragg (almost). It’s another unmissable ride – and you’ll get there in 45 minutes (or if you can’t then you can claim a ticket refund via a cunningly complex online process).   LYRICS: Tea and Biscuits words and music by Damian Scott   Tea and biscuits as you curse into your cup Beer and grumbling as you swear your time is up Words of wisdom as you put the world to rights The morning paper to see who won the fight Ten o’clock and never late You’re waiting for the early morning break And the papers will tell you what’s going on in the world   Tea and biscuits as you toast the bride [Papers, read all about it in the papers] A royal wedding for the folks inside Tea and biscuits as the hooter blows [Papers, read all about it in the papers] Pull up your trousers and wipe your nose   The Sun or Mirror left by the toilet seat Smiling Sam is there to make your day complete A perfect figure and a page of misspelt words She’s sitting pretty in her sealskin and her furs Ten o’clock and never late You’re waiting for the early morning break And the papers will tell you what’s going on in the world   Tea and biscuits as you toast the bride [Papers, read all about it in the papers] A royal wedding for the folks inside Tea and biscuits as the hooter blows [Papers, read all about it in the papers] Pull up your trousers and wipe your nose   Like or lump it as you contemplate your shares It’s cake or crumpet for the chaps that work upstairs Ten o’clock and never late You’re waiting for the early morning break And the papers will tell you what’s going on in the world   Tea and biscuits as you toast the bride [Papers, read all about it in the papers] A royal wedding for the folks inside Tea and biscuits as the hooter blows [Papers, read all about it in the papers] Pull up your trousers and wipe your nose
