It's been recorded here at home, but not to my satisfaction (although it's to be found in the usual places on myspace, in rugged form). I only wrote it today. Sure, the words could be deeper, but sometimes you follow the sound and feel for the word that goes best with the note and riddim (dah riddim being Buddy Holly-ish):
They’re mapping the brain, mapping the brain
Just the same as when Ptolemy mapped the skyline:
The arrogant fools say we don’t have to guess any more,
Why these lights of the starry crown?
They’re plugging us in, plugging us in
Just the same as when Industry plugged the daytime:
Web-smog is God, it’s money galore,
Who cares if the dullness has grown?
And hey, hey, now, they’re joining the dots
‘til they blind like a gauze
They’re blocking the lights right out of the sky
Through obsession with reason and cause
They’re spinning us ‘round, spinning us ‘round
And we’re torn on the wheel of a starless sundown
That’s why I’m turning my begging bowl
upside down
(solo)
And hey, hey, now, they’re joining the dots
‘til they blind like a gauze
They’re blocking the lights right out of the sky

They’re spinning us ‘round, spinning us ‘round
And we’re torn on the wheel of a starless sundown
That’s why I’m turning my begging bowl upside down
That’s why I’m turning my begging bowl upside down
That’s why I’m turning my begging bowl upside down.

Not in the States, though. You're a more cultured lot.

Cheers!
If I got (paid) offers to play wales, I would!
I could email you free demos. I won't charge. I've made up CDs in the past, but as I'm going up to Doncaster to record, imminently, I'm happy to give away what I've done so far.
