Single Release ? - Neat Little Rows

Oooh, I like these kinds of videos; just a band doing their thing, what more do you want?

Just wondering what the first single off the Album will be
Is Lippy kids just a taster for us, or is that intended to be a release ?

If it's going to be another track, surely we'd have to get wind of that soon,
assuming any release would probably be before the Album release ?

Guess i'm just desperate to hear more

Hi ChrissyBoy, dont know if this info helps, but got an email saying that Neat little Rows is going to be released as a single and download on Monday 28th Feb. There is also the video of this song on You tube.

Hope this info helps - and by the way, I love this song, extremely catchy !!!

Lyrics question!
He ya'll.

Just searched for the lyrics of Neat little rows... and wow... what I found had little to do with the original. I don't understand everything perfectly, so maybe... does anyone of you have them?

Thanks!

Quite like it simple.
Maybe part of the overall stripped back kind of ethos - let the music do the talking

This is going to have to be a collaborative effort, because well... I'm not 100% sure about some of the lines but the rest should be correct. I've italicized the questionable lines.

my high priest is folded neatly
back in your box, oh lord
gone the song he sang so sweetly
back in your box, oh lord

found myself a strider tiger
lived in my head, just like you said
drown me now in down of fire
get me to bed, oh lord

lay my bones in the cobblestones
lay my bones in neat little rows
lay my bones in the cobblestones
lay my bones in neat little rows

angels and idols smile with wile
windin' your necks, oh lord
landed gentry right on behind me
windin' your necks, oh lord

smokey broke this backroom stages
let me back in, put back the pin
cos now i follow sorrow pages
can't read the text, oh lord

lay my bones in the cobblestones
lay my bones in neat little rows
lay my bones in the cobblestones
lay my bones in neat little rows

drown me now in down of ire {it might be anger instead of fire}

landed gentry ride on behind me {might be ride instead of right}

smoky progress backroom sages {might be progess instead of smokey broke and wise man}


cos now i found those sorrow pages {might be found instead of follow}

"found myself a strider tiger" is probably "found myself astride a tiger"?

So did Guy just happen to find he was havin a ride on a tiger before he went to bed or did he find a vicious stripy knife to show off with and protect himself as an angry youth?
....last verse 'put back the pin' is that referring putting it back in the grenade before it explodes?

Hey, that's great!
I was actually on the lookout for lyrics!
I find them quite hard to make out.
Funnily enough, the 'astride a tiger' bit was probably one of the few bits I did get!

Thanks for posting the lyrics,

Wow... thanks a lot.

I thought it was hard for me to understand the lyrics but obviously I'm not the only one.
You should read the solutions that you find on google... *LOL*

Btw.: learned a new word: cobblestone... You never learn these at school.

Does anyone know if this song can be pre-ordered on download anywhere ?
Same as the Album - can't find any specific mention on 7 Digital for future release or pre-order at all
find it a bit strange.

I know i can pre-order the album CD and Vinyl copy of the single (no turntable anymore - blasphemy i know but hey ho !!) but no mention of mp3's.

Are they just going to magically appear on the day of release - (please don't tell me they will be exclusive to itunes cause i refuse to comply !!!!)

I haven't seen anything as of yet,
It will probably be available to download at Amazon as well if you don't want to use itunes

b-side is called Ticker Tape

Ticker Tape? Is that some Brit slang I'm not aware of?

That was awesome. NLR's really does have a 'McGreggor' vibe about it. I'm liking what I'm hearing!

Don't think so. Ticker tape is the stuff they throw out of high buildings for parades...

Ohhh. So that's what that stuff is called.

Wow, I feel really dumb now. Haha.

Every day's a school day.

7digital or iTunes would be the go-to sources if you want the b-sides for the digital download (7digital has better quality). I don't think they normally put up pre-orders for digital singles, so it'll be something you'd need to seek out on the day of. Online pre-orders for the digital album will probably be towards the end of February. I'll keep an eye on the digital pre-orders.

I usually use 7 digital - they have a heap of forthcomng releases noted
but not a squeek on this one last time i looked.

Quiet you!

neat little rows mp3 seems to only be th album version of the track
so far ?

would have thought a b-side might have been on offer ??

what are you looking at, chrissyboy? amazon?

i just noticed that they have 'lippy kids' as an available download through the amazon UK site, huh.
