lyrics

I'm sick of playing solo
I'm out of the game
I'm not a virtuoso
I'm not looking for fame
I need the gaps to be filled in
I miss the pound of the drums
But I just can't play them
I need other musicians

Cos I don't wanna drop dead and be an undiscovered great
And have my fanbase be subjected to those fucking awful tapes
That I made when I was fifteen just to satisfy demand
for some new unheard material I really need a band

And with a wash of keyboards
The thud of the bass
all nicely understated
every note in its place
I'm sick of playing solo
I wanna make some noise
after a perfect chorus
I'd say "Take it away boys!"
(erm... fuck)

It be nice to feel my stuff was getting recognised for real
Like that headline gig in Brighton where I almost met John Peel
I don't just wanna be some quirky guy you saw once in the Bay
I wanna see my self-made EPs fetch a packet on eBay

But it's not gonna happen
unless I get me a band
A bunch of decent musicians
who all think I'm the man
It's not a case of ego
okay well maybe it is
I've just been playing solo
for nearly five years

And I don't wanna get on stage and say "here's one the drummer wrote"
or get some guy who thinks he Hendrix but can't really play a note
stick his foot up on the monitor and bore the crowd to tears
with an improvised performance that will feel like it lasts years

"Check out my guitar solo"
