Track of the Day: Death of Guitar Pop - Rickety Old Train

Death of Guitar Pop are Silky & Jonny. Essex Boyz Bringin’ that Ska noize. Dog-P is (quite simply) “Nu Age Skankin’ Music”….. takin’ musical influence from all things 2 Tone & Trojan, with a touch of sublime, Blur, Ian Dury & other good shit thrown in the mix.

DOG-P’s super skankin’ “Lip Up Fatty” esque debut single “Rickety Old Train” is out now on Silky’s (real name Olly Hookings) own label “Label White Room.”

LYRICS:
For the umpteenth time I will tell myself “Chill out n’smile…”
Life up till now’s been a waste man, I’m done with denial…
They stood with their arms crossed,
I played them guitar pop,
Drained my fragile heart oh so dry,
Death to the alarm clock that woke me back up to the world,
Tough is the struggle to ‘climatise,

I’m so young but I feel like a rickety old train,

I’m so young but I feel, oh so aged…

I’ve had no free time to myself,
I’ve had no respite,
Seems like the people I’m close with, their drive is their spite…
They stood with their arms crossed,
I played them guitar pop,
Drained my fragile heart oh so dry,
Death to the alarm clock that woke me back up to the world,
Tough is the struggle to ‘climatise,

I’m so young but I feel like a rickety old train,

I’m so young but I feel, oh so aged…

And just like a great dane, I’m stood so tall…
Wherever there’s great pain,
Whenever I fall,
C’est la vie,
What will be,
Till I croak….I remain,
Anna’ man say…..Choo Choo…..Rickety Old Train,
