We had to call in Keith and Miles
Now a manager was needed to make us complete
Up and down the country and side to side
With Chris Allison's hair cut free
Then we met Miles at Parlophone
The first thing Dave did as boss
Was make us play Water Rats in Kings Cross
We had no money so they got us in free
He hummed and hawed and became a pest
Mary Ann Hobbs invited us to play
All we needed was a hit pop song
Since we've been signed we eat real good
In the world of fashion there's two shining lights
Then we met Brian and the Microdot crew
When Chris' hair got caught in the dials
We said yes and went for a meal
With a glock and a sax and a mighty gong
Times have changed, we used to be smelly
Making the show go without a hitch
We went to Wales and fannyed around
The songs were good so we didn't give a toss
Nancy and Caroline they helped us alright
Adrenalin Village was the place to be
Quashis rotis are our favorite dish
We thought this time we were on a good start
Went down well so we decided to tour
Drinking champagne at EMI
And Gordon Anderson played a big part
Miles gave us an album deal
A quiet manner and enough respect
A meal like that we'd never ate
The irony almost made us cry
We met at Nachos and cleaned the plate
We always wash our hands and chew our food
We lived in a squat 'til a punk nicked our telly
We started to get known on Radio One
Martin, Matt and John Plat too
When Jo Whiley got a fax from my mum
At Maida Vale we spent a day
Miles knew a Wigner we should meet
And let him hear dogs got a bone
His name was Dave with the broken specs
It all started in London town
When we gave our demo to Phil Brown
Twittering on about the old Neive desk
He said go to Falkner and put it on wax
Ended up with the Patty Patty Sound
Served spicy with chicken or fish
With open minds we went to achieve
Chris Allison caught it all on Neive
[Incomprehensible]
With big yin driving it's a bumpy ride
It was time for Cornwall and the third EP
But they made a new rule that banned us from the chart
Next up was Henry and Nich
So the next week was spent cutting four tracks
We played five songs got credit for four
Just when the Beta Band was about to start
[Incomprehensible]
