about

These songs are recorded as demos for The Thinman's road band - which is forthcoming - as it has been for the last few years. Loadsa help from Bernie The Bass Bishop; keen to pluck his new proper Fender P-Bass and Vince on the odds and ends drum kit. There is the incomparable Louis The King (The Thinman's longest serving band member) on Saxophones. Special mention too for the "incomparable" Lec Violinski on the Four String Fretless Neck Guitar.

When The Thinman finally gets his road band together Lec is "up for it" (if the drugs start to work again) - Louis is "thinking about it" (in his dreams) but new Bass and Drums are required (cos Bernie and Vince are pipe and slippers snowmen) - any snowmen out there interested ?

DON'T FORGET TO LISTEN - thnxalot - Robby

about

The New Snowmen grew out of The Snowmen who grew out of The Nasty Angels and are based in Newcastle upon Tyne North East ... more England (where we used to build ships and dig coal). The Thinman started making up songs when he got fed up with hearing bands doing the same old covers over and over and over. Covers are for karaoke singers - Do your own material and you are in the big game !! less

Track Name: The Electric Ghost
I’m looking from a window and I can’t see a tree
I’m in a desert city in the land of luxury
A woman in a fur coat is walkin’ up the street
She got the light in her eyes but she can’t see me

I am the floating ghost
That no-one ever knows
And I go places no-one ever goes

I arrive from the skies and float away untouched
To the heart of the star where all light is crushed
The sounds all around are the ones that I conduct
I’m the genius that was always overlooked

I am the floating ghost
That no-one ever knows
And I go places no-one ever goes

Float over Mexico
Float over Idaho
I float anywhere I want to go

I know a place – nobody knows
Where gravity rises and all time slows
The ground is so old that nothing grows
And the air is so cold that fire is froze

I am the floating ghost
That no-one ever knows
And I go places no-one ever goes

I float in the summer’s heat
I float over Downing Street
And I float where all the old ghosts meet

I gaze on the land – from way up high
I don’t understand – how I can fly
I got eyes so wide – there’s nowhere to hide
You can lock your doors but I can float inside

And I trail The Taliban
And I view the Vatican
And I piss in the Palace of Buckingham
Track Name: Highway 99
There is a mountaintop in Sausalito - That I go to when I feel low
I like to know how high I can go – like a saint climbin’ on his halo
I like the air that – you get - up there
And there’s an alien in my window – and I’m not scared but
It’s definitely a close encounter – The Director’s cut
And I’m not scared – but they are everywhere
And sometimes they want to fight
But I don’t have the energy tonight
Where is my sabre of light
I’m gonna scare them off tonight

Just like the nights with no curtains - in our railroad room
With only TV and the streetlights - we fought off gloom
We were the sentries – of the night
And I never thought I’d consider this – but here I am
Never thought that I could steal a kiss – well maybe I can
Daydreams devour my mind
And night dreams are easy tonight
But Highway 99 runs right up to the sky
And you will cry and you can die – on Highway 99

Armies of angels assemble
Right under the moon
As holy empires crumble – and about time too
Some debts the taxman never collects – it’s true
Like I never declared – that I still love you


A Yokohama fog falls and curls – Gravity controls this world
Just like love we don’t understand – These forces make all their demands
An armada of anger – is anchored off Stavanger
A Sargasso Sea of sorrow – can smother all our tomorrows
The Kerry rain – runs down my lane
Time to decide if I will ride – on Highway 99
There ain’t nowhere to hide - Seattle sleep could be mine
Virginia plains – will be my domain


I should take any other road – not Highway 99
There’s many other ways I know – not Highway 99
I really love the scenery – on Highway 99
There are dark and deep ravines – on Highway 99
It is the most dangerous road – Highway 99
Where your conscience can explode – Highway 99
A year can pass in just a day – on Highway 99
Your whole life can slip away – on Highway 99
There are so many wrecks – on Highway 99
Am I gonna be the next ? – on Highway 99
Well what do you expect ? – on Highway 99
There is no life after death on Highway 99
