about

The nightmare of all tight-knit musical duos! The threat of a third party messing up our thang!

We hasten to add that this song is written about no-one in particular...

But if you'd care to check out the wonderful music of our big heroes:

Ichabod: ichabod.bandcamp.com
Soup Review: soupreview.bandcamp.com

lyrics

I saw you walking down the street, with her, hand in hand
I thought that I heard laughter – and none of it was canned
My jealous heart viridian; I couldn’t understand
Could she be the woman who broke up the band?

She doesn’t know a treble clef from a major chord
She doesn’t like suspended fourths or Jarvis
She didn’t like my haircut and she didn’t recognise
That I’m widely held to be a serious artist

Is she a heart’s companion or a one-night stand?
And does she dig the Soup Review like we do?
Is she a paramour or just an ampersand?
Could she be the woman who broke up the band?

Now her hair's like liquid liquorice in a green velvet band;
Her thighs ripple like hawsers and leave me quite unmanned.
But what’s that ring that shines on the fourth finger of her hand?
Could she be the woman who broke up the band?

Is our two-man harmony not quite enough for you?
Does our rhythm make your heart not skip a beat?
I’ve heard her singing in the shower – man - she hasn’t got a clue
How can her music seem to you more sweet?

Is she a heart’s companion or a one-night stand?
And does she dig the Phrygian Mode like we do?
Is she a paramour or just an ampersand?
Could she be the woman who broke up the band?

Is she a heart’s companion or a one-night stand?
And does she dig the Ichabod like we do?
Is she a paramour or just an ampersand?
Could she be the woman who broke up the band?

Poke O'Swedgers are Kev and Dave. Kev sings beautifully. Dave fumbles around with guitar. They write their own rhapsodies - delicate folk tales of impossible romance, computer programming and quantum physics. Their songs have a slight Scottish tang.
