《The Beta Band Rap》歌词

[00:00:01] The Beta Band Rap (Live)- The Beta Band

[00:00:13] We're the Beta Band and we're nice and clean

[00:00:16] We're always polite and hardly ever mean

[00:00:18] Times have changed we used to be smelly

[00:00:21] We lived in a squat 'til a punk nicked our telly

[00:00:24] Since we've been signed we eat real good

[00:00:27] We always wash our hands and chew our food

[00:00:30] Quashis rotis are our favourite dish

[00:00:33] Served spicy with chicken or fish

[00:00:36] In the world of fashion there's two shining lights

[00:00:39] Nancy and Caroline they helped us alright

[00:00:42] And Gordon Anderson played a big part

[00:00:45] Just when the Beta Band was about to start

[00:00:48] It all started in London town

[00:00:50] When we gave our demo to Phil Brown

[00:00:53] Then we met Miles at Parlophone

[00:00:56] And let him hear Dogs Got A Bone

[00:01:00] He said go to Falkner and put it on wax

[00:01:02] So the next week was spent cutting four tracks

[00:01:05] Now a manager was needed to make us complete

[00:01:08] Miles knew a Wiganer we should meet

[00:01:23] His name was Dave with the broken specs

[00:01:26] A quiet manner and nuff respec

[00:01:29] We met at Nanchos and cleaned the plate

[00:01:32] A meal like that we'd never ate

[00:01:34] Then we met Brian and the Microdot crew

[00:01:37] Martin Matt and John Platt too

[00:01:40] Adrenalin Village was the place to be

[00:01:43] We had no money so they got us in free

[00:01:46] The first thing Dave did as boss

[00:01:49] Was make us play Water Rats in Kings Cross

[00:01:52] We played five songs got credit for four

[00:01:55] Went down well so we decided to tour

[00:01:58] Next up was Henry and Nich

[00:02:01] Making the show go without a hitch

[00:02:04] Up and down the country from side to side

[00:02:07] Wi big yin driving it's a bumpy ride

[00:02:10] Miles gave us an album deal

[00:02:12] We said yes and went for a meal

[00:02:15] Drinking champagne at EMI

[00:02:18] The irony almost made us cry

[00:02:30] This one's for Scotland

[00:02:44] We went to Wales and fannyed around

[00:02:47] Ended up with the Patty Patty Sound

[00:02:50] With open minds we went to achieve

[00:02:52] Chris Allison caught it all on Neive

[00:02:56] He hummed and hawed and became a pest

[00:02:58] Twittering on about the old Neive desk

[00:03:01] We had to call in Keith and Miles

[00:03:03] When Chris' hair got caught in the dials

[00:03:06] We started to get known on Radio One

[00:03:09] When Jo Whiley got a fax from my mum

[00:03:12] Mary Ann Hobbs invited us to play

[00:03:14] At Maida Vale we spent a day

[00:03:17] With Chris Allison's hair cut free

[00:03:20] It was time for Cornwall and the third EP

[00:03:22] With a glock and a sax and a mighty gong

[00:03:25] All we needed was a hit pop song

[00:03:28] We thought this time we were on a good start

[00:03:30] But they made a new rule that banned us from the chart

[00:03:33] The songs were good so we didn't give a toss

[00:03:36] And we called it Los Amigos Del Beta Bandidos

[00:03:42] Hello Nina Chakrabati
