about

In 2005 we spent a week between Bob and Calum's flats recording another EP.

The tracks we ended up recording were:
Monster's Final Hour
Rebecca's Spine
Sham Rock
Dancin' - which ended up on Hey Werewolves
I'm In A Van

We weren't 100% happy with how the finished recordings sounded so we used them as promo material for gigs and as demos for The Lamps of Terrahead.

When we had started recording these tracks we hadn't finalised lyrics on some of the songs. For some reason we all got caught up in these awesome cheesy pop lyrics. In typical El Dog style weridness this song ended up being released without the verse or chorus vocals and only had the singing on the middle eight. Weird!

lyrics

The say you're no good for me
(Oh ho! Oh ho! Oh ho!)
Skipped school, went to a party
(Oh ho! Oh ho! Oh ho!)
We were laughing in the neighbour's pool
(Oh ho! Oh ho! Oh ho!)
Lost my shoe in the water
(Oh ho! Oh ho! Oh ho!)

You're no good for me
(GO! GO! GO!)
But that's okay
You're no good for me
(GO! GO! GO!)
I love you anyway
Yeah yeah!

We dream in silence
-Caustic-
Our love lasted
-Running with-
I watch you sleeping
-Your love-
And whisper love

You're no good for me
(GO! GO! GO!)
But that's okay
You're no good for me
(GO! GO! GO!)
I love you anyway
Yeah!
