Signs Of Life, Day 15

Drum Sample from the Young Knives' 'No Sound'
A last minute switcheroo to replace "Parquet Flooring" in the album listing. I was in Whitstable, and this sign caused much 'hilarious' fake outrage in me. So I wrote a song about it. It's meant to be an over-the-top reaction. A lot of fun was had making this song, which is probably more than listening to it if I am quite honest :)
Lyrics
Oysters are delicious but greed makes all humans vicious
- Capitalist dream in microcosm! Count your pounds and pence, and if you still need defence Erect electric fences, if you’ve got ‘em.
Proprietorial plaques, shows a total lack of Anything near to humility. Only in East Kent would they pick an argument With the tide of the Thames estuary!
You’re taking them for free, making money out the sea Seems to me fishery’s being precious - Now they have gone too far, with the implicit slander That all & any strangers are malicious, but
Folk aren’t gathered round, glancing hungrily down - The incoming tide’s your guilty party! There’s no-one around, unless they go to ground on the weekends, around here it is empty.
Midnight picnic on the beach, we’ll avoid your tidal bore. We will get some mignonette, eat oysters straight from source, oysters from the beach!
We;re gonna eat oysters from the beach, Oysters from Whitstable beach …
gulp slurrrp
