UNIT Motorway Madness

This is another ancient work written for The Apostles (which they subsequently wrecked, as usual). The Chinese format of UNIT attempted to renovate it on Rock In Opposition: Phase 4 in 2007. The result was an improvement (but then it could hardly be any worse) but my poor vocal performance marred the effect. Finally we have managed to record a reasonably proficient rendition of this piece, one of a number of blues orientated works I’ve written over the past 3 decades. This is the ‘rough mix’. The proper production can be heard on our album Der Zeit Ihre Kunst, available on our Band Camp site from September 2019.

Lying half dead in a ditch, ‘Please help me.
he cried for help but no-one cared. Please help me.
People turned away because I’m bleeding.
they’d other things to do that day, I’m pleading.
so they ignored him instead I’m crying.
as anyway he’d soon be dead. I’m dying.’

Have you noticed when somebody is run over by a car,
how intoxicated by the vision of morbidity they are?
No-one wants to lift a finger. No-one ever offers aid.
Anyway, I’m sad to say, this is the way people are made.

I’m gonna jump in my car, babe, and drive round to your place.
Yeah, when I jump in my car, darling, and drive round to your place,
I’m gonna knock you down, honey, and run my wheels over your face.
