Title: Albion Band lyrics conundrum... Post by: Dubai Danny on September 23, 2021, 01:33:03 AM Would anyone happen to know the last line of the chorus of The Albion Band Is Here Again? It's got that muddy 70s production with the vocals mixed that little bit too far down.
I've managed to work out: If you want to hop or rock or bop you are Invited to until you nearly drop you are Free to sing on the chorus or not you are The music's [something something] very popular TBH, the full lyrics would be great! There are bits and pieces in some of the verses that I just can't make out. Title: Re: Albion Band lyrics conundrum... Post by: Andy on September 23, 2021, 12:02:55 PM Tried asking Simon? He's very helpful, I find.

First song I ever saw them do (on the 'Light Shining' tour)! Title: Re: Albion Band lyrics conundrum... Post by: Will S on September 28, 2021, 12:23:19 PM I have a similar question about the refrain of Ashley's Brief Encounters (from By Gloucester Docks...). Is it "... a three-star love..."?

Title: Re: Albion Band lyrics conundrum... Post by: Will S on September 28, 2021, 03:24:04 PM You're right, Will. I just checked the lyric sheet in my copy of the LP. Thanks! It sounded like that, but has never really meant much to me. I guess 'three-star' is meant to symbolise high quality? Like an American 'three-star general'? Title: Re: Albion Band lyrics conundrum... Post by: StephenGiles on October 02, 2021, 12:34:05 PM I'm sure it's - "The music's commonplace and very popular".

Title: Re: Albion Band lyrics conundrum... Post by: Phil Perry on October 02, 2021, 04:25:38 PM No, but I did see them many times and always enjoyed the interplay between the members. In my opinion they went down-hill a bit when Dave Whetstone and Jean-Pierre Rasle left, but then had another really good spell with the four-piece acoustic line-ups.

I'd never have got that otherwise. It almost sounds like "drum and bass". Title: Re: Albion Band lyrics conundrum... Post by: StephenGiles on November 02, 2021, 10:53:44 AM "Commonplace"! Thankyou! I'd never have got that otherwise. It almost sounds like "drum and bass". rather like the sounds like "pork sausages" line in Bohemian Rhapsody! Title: Re: Albion Band lyrics conundrum...
