Best Before 2007

We used to have a website a few years back and I thought we had lost everything but thanks to the 'Way Back Machine', I am now recovering some of our lyrics. As Dan has just reworked this particular song and sent it to me I'm now working on the vocals and maybe add a baseline - I shall put it up, along with new tracks 'Hekis Tebal' and 'The Tasmaanians', in a day or two.

Best Before - the bushpilots

Man has survived for thousands of years without sell-by dates
Take the chance, no consequence, don't hesitate
You can't go on, forever checking the ingredients
Listen to us,take the chance,you know we're making sense

But don't come running to me
When you're wasting away with dysentery
And don't even call me up
When your brain is fried and your nerves are shot

Man has survived for thousands of years without sell-by dates
Take the chance, no consequence, don't hesitate
You can't go on, forever checking the ingredients
Listen to us, take the chance,you know we're making sense

And don't put the blame on me
When you suddenly develop epilepsy
You'll be turning in your grave, young fella
When the tag on your toe reads 'salmonella'

Man will survive for a thousands more years without sell-by dates
Take the chance, no consequence, don't hesitate
You can't go on, forever checking the ingredients
Listen to us,take the chance,you know we're making sense

And you won't find nothing amusing
When you wake up on a table with a blood transfusion
So don't ever turn my way
You knew the risks I've got nothing to say

This was bound to happen. The Bushpilots was always one of those bands, ahead of its time, so misunderstood, that gets rediscovered in subsequent years and at long last receives rightful recognition as belonging to the upper most pantheon of rock gods, as well as being generally accepted as being the greatest influence on any and all bands that came after....
It is great to see these works of rock heaven resurrected. Will they be re-mastered? Re-arranged? (I know Dan has always wanted to do re-work some of his more left-field stuff with the London Philharmonic) We have been masturbating feverishly since last week in anticipation of news of reforming and world tours…………
