[C]
What we've done, we've picked up the threads of the tradition [G] and we've not got really
other than a few [E] old recordings, we've not [Ab] got anything else to go on.
I feel the world go round and round.
It was [Abm] a discovery thing, you were hearing songs,
hearing echoes from history.
[Bbm] My
[Ab] dream is that this [Bbm] music becomes [Ab] currency
that anybody can use, anywhere they like, because you can do anything to music.
[Eb] [Db] I think that a lot of what [D] was done, was done on drugs.
A lot of people didn't like it, especially when we started using amplifiers, we used
to get death threats.
[A] If [D] [A] drums and bass is the way you want to
take it, well [A] that's fine, you know, just [D] don't invite me.
This is the way I'm going to play [Gb] Claudia Banks, you don't like it, you can stuff [G] it.
Nobody was more surprised than me when I started writing the bloody songs, you know.
It only becomes [Am] what I love when it's been passed around through knots.
[B] It's this club that you have to [G] join and the way you join is by paying your dues.
I think folk music is quite a sensitive genre, probably the most sensitive.
[Bb]
[D] Do we get [E] accepted into the mainstream folk thing?
[G] Probably not, but it's not the [Db] end
of the world.
[Ab] We've got our own thing and I'm quite happy [D] being part of it.
