Richard Palmer-James got in touch to confirm that the mystery track recently mentioned in Robert's diary was called Guts On My Side. The track as far as anyone can remember was only performed once. Richard, who dictated the lyrics to what he describes as an appalled secretary the at EG in London goes:
Sweet meat boogie / Take me to an eating meeting
Breath comes heavy / Rolling back the plastic sheeting
Gotta get our guts on our side
Gonna take a table and ride
Crunching with the crabs de mornay
Shovel up the mussel sooflay
Keep things tidy / Scrape the sausage off the ceiling
Ten ton creepers / Hauling off potato peelings
Gonna bend the runcible spoon
Pulverise the Great Macaroon
Smuggle in the Kweechie Lorraine
Gurgitate the hash once againe
Mint tea mother / Keep me feeling bright and happy
Avacados / Inside must be soft and pappy
Drop and oyster straight from the can
Fumble with the passion fruit flan
Gotta find some room for a roll
Penetrate the toad in the hole
Sheeps head salad / Sending off the indigestion
Take no notice / Slimmers making foul suggestions
Camembare the cucumber cream
Crucify the galloping bean
Fingers getting hot in the stew
Dip 'em in the mushroom fondew
Improvise a lobster surpreeze
Bring the jellied eels to their knees
Sip a glass of seventy-one
Clarrit Chatto Newts de Verdun
Of the song Richard comments "John actually sings some of these lines on the recording. It's a pretty good rock song, until you hear the words."
David Cross writes about the track on his diary today as well. Check out David's site here.
