about
Grappling with society and technology as the sleek ghost of the Mallard train draws alongside. The driver has a disturbing message!
lyrics
Here’s a story about the line from Newcastle to London's Kings Cross
Sat with shit coffee dipping into JG Ballard's Crash,
Pissed numpties kneebash my seatback
Jiggle-ing banter with some mild racism or other
And as I anger, my hands start to judder, my heart leaps
and in the corner of my eye I can barely believe
The outline of a spectral train drawing slowly alongside
I stare jawbroke, the sleek blue ghost of the Mallard on the next track
We're both building up a little bit of speed and a little bit of steam
Potential rumbles beneath the terrifying and beautiful apparition, 40 60 80 100
My 125 and the 4468 hit my top speed as one
A featureless driver leans his head out of the future metal wedge
Locking my gaze with nothing where there should have been eyes, His maw opens
They fooled yeh, they fooled yeh and I got the power
They fooled yeh, they fooled yeh, and I got the power
They fooled yeh, they fooled yeh, and I got the power
What in the world could this machine tell me, what in the world
Art deco technology burst my biology
Mallardian fiction …..stoke it up, stoke it up
And we slow to a grinding stop for a signal
The light hit green, and the fire horses are hot to trot,
faster, faster into an Aintree gallop.
The Driver shouts into my face -
”The APT advance passenger train was a worldbeater, until it was stymied by the Thatcher government
who also briefed aganst it by dropping the press stories that people felt sick when it went round corners”
'I understand' I said, and the blue vision vanished with a smell of coke
They fooled yeh, they fooled yeh, and I got the power
They fooled yeh, they fooled yeh, and I got the power
They fooled yeh, they fooled yeh, and I got the power
What in the world could this machine tell me, what in the world
Art deco technology burst my biology
Mallardian fiction …..stoke it up, ...totally stoked

A break-through work for me. One of these albums that seem to be some freakish sort of mirror to me. I deeply connect with the flow and the go. dbdotdot
Well, does it live up to the hype? It's okay, not as good as 'Loops' or the 'Fenella' stuff; i doubt i'll be listening to it in full very often.
Her mojo is waneing in my 'umble opinion. vykr
In 2019, I was in Salisbury and attended the Alphabet Business Convention without knowing any artist. Lost Crowns was my favourite band that played there. Pablo P.

Nice pop balladry with a folk influence. My first thought upon hearing this was "female Paul McCartney" but it is probably aiming for Sandy Denny territory. Lavinia was in psychedelic folk band Trembling Bells. Art Fin
