(Return To) Nineteen Canteen

from Ever Evolving Lounge by Dr Cosmo's Tape Lab

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Standard CD edition Includes immediate download of album.

    Scheduled for release June 2014, Ever Evolving Lounge contains ten short blasts of melodic, energetic and distinct pop songs all ready to drill a hole through your senses.

    "The Beach Boys, Todd Rundgren, Brian Eno and McCartney II inform the mix, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Essential. 4/5." -Jon "Mojo" Mills- Shindig Magazine

    "Pick of the week,a psychedelic-pop gem with much to recommend!"- Valis, Trip Inside This House

    "If you close your eyes you can definitely spot A Wizard and A True Star dancing to Paul McCartney fronting The Monkees, drunk on a magical potion consisting of cider and early electronic juices." -Clam In A Jam

    "......not a filler track to be found. Highly Recommended to all those with a healthy love of nostalgia and sunny melodies." -Powerpooaholic

    "this merry-go-round kaleidoscope of bygone melodies is an affectionate, warm-hearted treat for the ears." -Monolith Cocktail

    "....there are moments here where the diversity on show captures the easy cross-genre pollination that the younger Todd Rundgren used to so effortlessly master. Soooooo good." -The Active
    Listener

    " The duo have great ears for melodies and harmonies and are not afraid to experiment with them.....an incredible album." -Everything Flows Blog

    "Ever Evolving Lounge takes you on the most pleasant of psychedelic trips back to the glory days of 60’s pop music." -Ravechild

    "Dr Cosmo’s Tape Lab sound like they have stepped out of a Tardis from the sixties but, given that they clearly know their way around a pop song, we should be grateful for that. 4/5" -Bluesbunny

lyrics

Monday, you run for the hills again
You run like the wind far and wide
Where no one can hide from love

Tuesday, you yearn for the time
A time when your heart was so free
A place you can be yourself

Back in the world
Where no one can dim the light
Gone is the girl
Who dances in dreams to the beat after midnight

Wednesday, a walk in the dark
Trying to fight your way back
Get out of the black and blue

Thursday, a whispering wish
A prayer often blown on the breeze
That answers your pleas again

Back in the day
The future was ours to find
Never could stay
Rode out of town with your eyes in the moonlight

The weekend is over too quickly these days,
The rat-race is run from the cot to the grave and it's true
It's happening to you
I comes round again but it comes with a price
And your only friend is a roll of the dice

No turning back cos you may not like the view
Chance came and went but chances now number few

It's time to take a stand
Make a change cos only I can
We've got to get it right
Oh yeah, alright
Make a pact with Lady Luck
Have a go if you got the pluck
We've got to get it right
Oh yeah, alright

The sun came up, with golden rays
And chased the blues oh so faraway
How long will it last?
Well no one can say
But for now everything is OK

We may be right, we can't be wrong
For all we know it's been here all along
It's maybe that we, we just couldn't see
But for now everything is OK

I know that you,
were meant to be no other
& no one else but you
Since you returned
To me in nineteen canteen,
I'll stick to you like glue

Where have you been?
I lost you to tomorrow
When yesterday was mine
Since you returned
To me in nineteen canteen
We'll watch the stars align

Dr Cosmo's Tape Lab Glasgow, UK

Disappointing Todd Rundgren gigs, Tascam 4 track cassette recorders, animal oddities, The Monkees, cider, children's tv shows from the 80's and sci-fi movies (good and bad) are all ingredients to the sounds of Dr Cosmo's Tape Lab.
