| Notes: | Somewhere about the time I wrote this song I'd acquired a vintage New Zealand made Kawai guitar. Don't ask me where it came from - I can't remember buying it or being given it. I guess it's a bit like a stray cat that just turned up and stayed. It sounded really muffled and awful. The guys nicknamed it "The Fish". I also had a nasty Fender solid state amp which was incredibly toppy and scratchy. When I stuck the two together one seemed to cancel the other and a big fat nasty snarly noise spewed forth. While jamming around with this new sound I ended up writing this. | |
