Description

How we sound live, possibly a different gang outside the studio. Raw & ready...

A song about those news items that happen elsewhere and seem to be never ending. A diet of gun patrols, ambushes, incendiary devices, murder & mayhem etc etc etc etc.........not good for anyone. Serious stuff to an upbeat tune. Our way of dealing with the onslaught of media information.

Check out Re-aL for many more songs and stuff, if you like this one.

Thanks for listening!

Denis - Vox & words
Paul - Bass
Roddy - Guitar
Gordon - Drums

Lyrics

It could just be me
But I’m losing my patience
I can’t find the point
To a hip-hop generation

I look to the East
They're making graves for dictators
While here in the West we’ve become spectators

Oh it’s quiet tonight
And all the lights go down
Well I know that something ain’t right
In a quiet bordertown

So quiet, you're wonderin' why...?

I’m glued to TV
They're down in the square
I thank God it’s not me
Thank God I’m not there
I take a panic attack and I ain't pretendin'
No mister, I ain't buyin' a little bit of ethnic cleansing

Oh it’s quiet tonight
And all the lights go down
Well I know something ain’t right
In a quiet bordertown

It’s so quiet tonight
I know something ain’t right
I watch the lights go down
There’s never a sound

Oh it’s quiet tonight
And all the lights go down
Well I know something ain’t right
A quiet bordertown

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Oh it’s so quiet tonight
And all the lights

And I know something ain’t right
A quiet bordertown

	We'll take that comparison... ...any day!!! Thank you so much Henrik, glad to hear we remind you of 'The Boss'! And you are correct - there's not much live music, so this is a change from studio based compositions. Appreciate you stopping by, thanks for your support.

	Thanks Tom! This is a slightly faster version than the studio one, so no time to do over again, the changes just HAD to work on the night. Nice to hear you think they did. We're sending a rep to see you soon...! Glad you like it, thanks for commenting. Take care, Re-aL Check out my latest song called Bordertown (LIVE)

	Spectators....hmmmmm All over the world...... Check out my latest song called Sea Shell Blues and Alannah

Re-al	Re-al said 99 days ago (August 19th, 2009)
	Spectators Trying to distinguish between us seeing it on TV as a spectator and those unfortunate enough to be caught up in it all. News reports always seem to home in on a border incident. And you are correct - it's all over the world, sadly. But that aside - thanks for tuning in and commenting. Re-aL Check out my latest song called Bordertown (LIVE)
