about
A powerhouse slap of hair-metal influences, face-melting solos and the beeps-boops of 80s alternative sounds. POCKETS IN THE SHROUD is our next high-energy, fist-pumping monthly instalment of offbeat rock and synth-ful desires.
Slurping up influences from the likes of Andrew WK, Elvis Presley, Don Henley, Church of the Cosmic Skull. DEVO, Extreme, Van Halen, Fleetwood Mac and the current cost of living crisis, join us as we spaff up the wall what little we have left, in the pursuit of good times and rock'n'roll.
We are also super excited to have two very special guests on this track...
First up, the incredible Michael Woodman Music has gifted us with mind blowing guitar solo theatrics…
And secondly, on tub-thumping duties, the absolute drumming weapon that is Bart E Hard, fastest man in Poland, from Big C's 'other' band Todger…
…If ya like, what we’re doing, please show them some love, cos they are also AWESOME!
I spent all of my money on all these magic beans
And momma said “Oh son, your profligacy is so obscene”
I spent my fortune on wine women and song
(Wine, women, wine, women and song)
No motherfucker gonna tell me that that’s wrong
(No motherfucker, no motherfucker, motherfucker)
There’s a silver lining in the clouds
There ain’t no pockets in the shroud
Can’t take it with you, it’s not allowed
There ain’t no pockets in the shroud
There must be exceptions to this rule
The Egyptians and Vikings certainly thought so too
What’s the point in parsimonious misery?
(Misery, misery, misery)
Give me a deck of ten and a non-branded pint of
Gut rot whiskey
There’s a silver lining in the clouds
There ain’t no pockets in the shroud
Can’t take it with you, it’s not allowed
There ain’t no pockets in the shroud
There’s a silver lining in the clouds
There ain’t no pockets in the shroud
Can’t take it with you, it’s not allowed
There ain’t no pockets in the shroud
Don’t slip no dime nor dollar under my tongue
Don’t bury me with my wives, my maidens and my young
You can’t take it with you, it’s not allowed,
I’m gonna be stone broke when I’m in the ground
Gonna be stone broke when I’m in the shroud
