Another song to add to my pile of songs about being stuck on the wrong side of the world. But this time, it's 'you know what? It ain't so bad here, all things considered...'
Ignore the vocal quality. Very quick recording at 8 in the morning before work, mixed with about as much care.
The backing track sounds a lot better I guess, largely based on one of the templates I've been working on a while.

you won’t catch me on a liner
you won’t see me in the finer
restaurants of paris or a new York diner
you won’t catch me on a long-haul
flight to Beijing or to blackpool
nor a Humvee to the sunny sights of Kabul
get a bullet hole in Texas, and the virus is infectious
it will get me, i just know it so don’t let me
board a plane, buy a boat, grow some wings, learn to float
over this moat all the danger’s gonna get me
never will, never will, never will, never will
no i won’t, never will, no I won’t

Great idea for the lyrics... excellently executed!!

No need to be afraid about the quality, tis ruff‘n‘punky. Great to jump about the living room here on a sunny morning. Thx for the pleasure!

So good! Please don't come to the US. We're AWFUL. I mean, not ME, but everyone else. XD

I really dig this. Great riffs and love that fuzz tone. As for the vocals: if they were any better they wouldn't fit the vibe they are really selling a "buried in sound" effect that just begs this to be turned up to the appropriate volume.
Oh wow, that outro just kicked in, nice journey here!
Great work, keep it up!

Yes! Yes! Yes!, .....no words ......just listening........loving it.
@nadine Feb 2022
I usually don't write this but this messed up vocal quality is pure punk. Nobody cares with riffs like this. Straight in your face!
@elainedimasi Feb 2022
I can see this being played live, everybody would be shouting along with the never will, never will, no i won't! never will :-)
Love how it amplifies at "get a bullet hole..." and I dig the synth sound you punctuated it with before dropping the final bomb on us with that "not even in my backyard" verse.
Synth solo at the end rocks and love the way you switch the whole thing off.

That’s great. Guitars sound fizzy but chunky and the vocal shows no detriment for having been done in constrained circumstances. Love the rhythm of the vocal delivery and the BVs too. For something you knocked out before work, I’d say that’s a top effort.

Huge guitar sound. Brutal riff for the chorus
