Side A: 1. Eleanor Rigby (Lennon / McCartney) A 'Punked-up' version of Macca's 'Eleanor Rigby'.2. Cluster Bombs (Ellison) A ditty about London’s Arms Trade Fair at the ExCel Centre, Canning Town. Get Your weapons of Mass Destruction here! If you are a world dictator or despot, this is the place for you? Pop down and grab yourself a Gravity Bomb or a couple of sparklers? 3. Heather Lane (Lewis) Rivers and streams are good landmarks from up here … And you’d be surprised at some of the things you’d see. 4. Top of the Tower (Lewis) Those were the days when you could go up to the revolving restaurant at the top of the Post Office Tower before the IRA put an end to that. 5.Disappear Across the Sky (Lewis) A tale of gravitational, lost love 6. It’s Been A Long Time (Ellison /Townson) And it certainly has…. Seagulls, icicles, tricycles, and paper smiles… What more can you ask for? The song I wrote for the classic, iconic 60’s film ‘Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush’. This being a newer version Side B: 1. Blister Bird (Ellison) Some say she is a pallid faced, Panda-eyed cutie, with a fuck- me fringe dripping over coca cola eyes … 2. Children of The Revolution (Bolan) A Marc Bolan Classic. Recorded with Boz Boorer 3. Cornflake Zoo (Bolan /Ellison) A backing track discarded by Marc in 1967 that Simon Napier Bell asked me to write new lyrics to. He said I had ten minutes! … .. I did it in five. This version recorded in 2013 for a split 7” single for Record Store Day. 4. Cosmic Dancer (Bolan) A chilled-out version of another of Marc’s songs. Again, with Boz Boorer 5. Anyway Goodbye (Ellison) Speaks for itself ...Anyway goodbye.
