ballboy I Worked On the Ships (CD, £10.95) due 11-08-2008
Over the last 7 years Edinburgh's BALLBOY have released 4 albums and numerous
singles.
The band's dry wit and imaginative story telling combined with the use of strong
bold images
and a depth of emotion poured into each song, have gained them a devoted fan
following,
not least of whom was the late John Peel, who invited the band to record
sessions for the
show five times. Over the years the band have had 11 tracks featured in his
legendary Festive
Fifty. BALLBOY recorded "I worked on the ships", in a cottage in the Scottish
Borders. The idea
was to move out of a standard studio environment and work on the recording of
the songs in
a new way. In some vague and not very important conceptual way the lyrics and
sounds are
related to boats - hence the album title. The album was produced by Gordon and
enhanced
by the addition of electronic orchestration and other bleeps and blops.
"McIntyre's forte is
mining that particularly Scottish brand of gallows whimsy, depositing lyrical
barbs, half-
spoken, half-sung, in a musical landscape" - The Scotsman
Dog House in Dundee is not advertising our gig yet !

Subject: [ballboy_music] hello everyone
Ashamed that its taken me this long to get around to joining this list,
but better late than never eh?!
So, the initial questionarre...
What is your name?
Donna
Do you have any nicknames that we might know by from the ballboy
message board or other mailing lists? If so where did you get these
names from?
Not been on the mailing list at all, or the message boards yet.. oops..
so no, no other names as yet!
Where do you live?
Nottingham... or 'Shottingham' to some people - its all a myth hyped by
the media!
What was the first song that heard by ballboy?
Donald in the Bushes on a compilation tape a Brazilian friend did for me
in 2000.
What is your favourite song?
Argh, I still really like that one, or Sex Is Boring, Olympic Cyclist
and Flags & Cranes too. LOVE The Queen of Texas too!
If I had to buy a CD tomorrow what should it be?
Hah, well I just realised I am missing the last ballboy CD, so I should
get that... also the new Magnetic Fields alnum which is out next week...
Other than that - my fave album of last year is the Cinematics.
What else do we need to know about you?
Umm, I've liked ballboy for more than 7 years now and continue to be one
of the most under-rated bands in the music industry as far as I am
concerned!
I go by recommendations from friends, and these were a recommendation
that I have continued to love. Some day, I might get around to
digitizing some of the many pics I took of them in 2000/2001 and upload
for all to see.
Oh and more people need to join the facebook group and become fans! =P

The MCBM album is finished and I think it
will be released in January. I will let you know for certain when I know any
more.
I’m sure you’ll also be
pleased to know that the funny popping noises have stopped happening when I
type. It is quite a relief even if it does mean I don’t get to release a
chart topping single.

Excerpt from
http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/sport/2007/11/06/the_joy_of_six_terrible_
manage.html
5) Franck Sauzée, Hibernian December 2001-February 2002
Alex McLeish's Hibernian had been beginning to splutter, so when he
grabbed the Rangers job with both hands, it was clear his successor
would be left with a rebuilding job on his hands. Perhaps not the
greatest time to ask your best player to hang up his boots and
embark on a rookie managerial career, then, and even the man
himself - much-loved French defender Franck Sauzée - had
doubts: "Sometimes you see players with great experience who aren't
good managers. I may be the worst manager you've ever seen in
Scotland, you know."
He had that damn straight, though he didn't start too badly; while
two losses and two draws weren't great, the second point came after
a last-minute equaliser in the Edinburgh derby. But the wheels
really came off at the turn of the year: Hibs drew three and lost
four in the league, including four-goal shellackings by Aberdeen and
Motherwell; needed a replay to get past Second Division Stranraer in
the Scottish Cup only to then ship another four in the next round at
Ibrox; and lost the semi-final of the League Cup to First Division
Ayr. After a tedious 1-1 draw at home to Dunfermline left Hibs
second bottom with only a terrible St Johnstone side saving their
utter embarrassment, the die was cast: after failing to win any of
his 12 league games in charge, Sauzée was replaced by Bobby
Williamson, who immediately posted back-to-back 3-0 victories. Hibs
eased away from relegation bother, but nobody remembers the workaday
Williamson with much affection at Easter Road - unlike Sauzée, who
is still a legend at the club despite this utter debacle.

More tabs, feeling musical at the moment:
i don't have time to stand here with you fighting about the size of my
dick
Capo 1
[a]I don't have time to stand here with you
Fighting about the size of my dick
I've got a [d]meeting to get to
And a [e]gun to pick up [a]first
[a]And I don't have time to stand in the rain
Fighting about all the same things again
If I [d]don't leave now
Then I'll be [e]too late to ever come [a]back
And in [d]24 hours I've lived a [e]hundred lives
I've shot [d]one man dead and watched [e]another two die
And it's [d]touch and go if I should [e]run or hide
And it's [d]touch and go if I can [e]live through the [a]night
Well I've got the money and I've got the truck
But it's too close to call whether I've got the luck
But I'm [d]too far in to even [e]dream of getting back [a]out
[a]And I wish all the fighting
Had taken less time
I could have been in and out
We could have laughed through the night
But sometimes [d]days can be seconds
And [e]seconds can be your whole [a]life
And in [d]24 hours I've lived a [e]hundred lives
I've shot [d]one man dead and watched [e]another two die
And [d]it's my turn now and I'm [e]not surprised
I [d]never thought that I would [e]live through the [a]night
[a]It's not the bullet that causes the pain
It's the hole that it leaves when it comes out again
And the [d]blood in the sunshine
[e]Disappears just like the [a]rain
And I'm dying for breathing
I'm blind in one eye
But here's what I choose
To take me into the night
You [d]beautiful and drunk and singing [e]softly to [a]yourself
You [d]beautiful and drunk and singing [e]softly to [a]yourself
Welcome To Växjö
In the darkness,
Of this morning,
There are things,
You'll never know,
But you were [d]mine once,
For a [bm]night once,
And I still [e]love you,
More than you [a]know,
[g]Outside there is [d]snow,
[g]And what other people [d]think,
[g]But inside this [d]room there is only you and [a]me,
And the star upon your [d]teeth,
Shining [bm]brightly,
As I [e]hold you,
To my [a]heart,
Though I'm [d]leaving when the [bm]light comes,
I still [e]love you,
More than you'll [a]know,
[g]And maybe the [d]snow,
[g]Will keep the memory for [d]us,
[g]And no matter what comes [d]next there is only you and [a]me,
And the star upon your [d]teeth.[a,d,a,g,d,a]
And I [d]know how this [a]feels,
And I [d]know what this [a]means,
I'd trade the [g]horrors of the [d]night time,
For a [a]lifetime in your [d]arms,
I'd trade the [g]horrors of the [d]night time,
For a [a]lifetime in your [d]arms.

Packing lots of questions and news into one post here.
i) New album - any news on how much longer till release? I'm going
traveling round the world for a year from the end of October and I
demand to be able to listen to the new ballboy album. Or I politely
request it at least:)
ii) Shows - ditto. Cmon one in England in or pre mid October? Pretty
please? I would make the flight for the Edinburgh one but I have to
work that day.
iii) Not sure if anyone has ever heard of Coverville (if not you
should check it out, excellent podcast made up entirely of covers and
there are some brilliant covers. If the Beseech cover of Gimme Gimme
Gimme or a capella covers of I predict a riot don't make you smile
there's no hope for you) but I got ballboy's cover of Born in the USA
played on there. http://www.coverville.com/archives/podcast/
it's number 357, even if the host does think it sounds like Breakfast
at Tiffany's (well the chord progression is the same in fairness),
leading nicely on to:
iv) I decided to do a couple more tabs which were missing. I'm fairly
confident about Kiss Me, Hold... less so about Past Lovers where I
can't decide whether I'm missing a chord after the second c in each
verse, the strings always throw me. Also the c4 may just be a c but I
think it gives a bit more oomph when played solo so meh:
past lovers
c4 x32013
I [c]remember when it started,
In the [f]thunderstorms and darkness,
And we [c]stood together in a room,
And [g]waited for the [c]night,
And the silence gathered round us,
Semi-[f]naked in the darkness,
And you [c]put a finger to my lips,
And [g]said to me just [c]this.
Let's not [c4]talk about the others,
Let's not [f]talk about past lovers,
All the [c]history you bring to me,
Has [g]melted like the [c]snow,
Let's not [c4]talk about the others,
Let's not [f]talk about past lovers,
There are [c]things you have inside of you,
It's [g]better not to [c]know.
And now I'm sitting drunk at midnight,
With the [f]memories of my life,
And I'm [c]wondering what changes came,
To [g]make me feel so [c]old,
But before the sadness claims me,
And be[f]fore the darkness takes me,
My vague [c]memory allows me,
One more [g]picture of your [c]lips,
As you say.
Don't [c4]talk about the others,
Don't [f]talk about past lovers,
It's the [c]silence that you bring to me,
That's the [g]greatest thing of [c]all,
So don't [c4]talk about the others,
And don't [f]talk about past lovers,
It's the [c]silence that you bring to me,
That's the [g]greatest thing of [c]all,
So don't [c4]talk about the others
And don't [f]talk about past lovers,
It's the [c]silence that you bring to me,
That's the [g]greatest thing of [c]all,
Let's not [c4]talk about the others,
Let's not [g]talk about past lovers,
It's the [c]silence that you bring to me,
That's the [g]greatest thing of [c]all.
Kiss Me, Hold Me and Eat Me
Capo 1 [C] [G]
C-G repeated for while at the start
[C]Once upon a ti[G]me long ago[C][G],
A boy and [C]girl fell in [G]love even [C]though,[g]
They knew the [c]risk,
They were [g]cannibals,
They [f]could not [c]afford to get too [g]close,
They knew the [c]risk,
They were [g]afraid to kiss,
In, [f]in case they [c]ate each other [g]whole.
[c]Then one [g]day he said,
I, [c]I can't take this [g]anymore,
It's,[c] it's love or [g]death he said,
I, [c]I can't take this [g]anymore,
So [c]kiss me, [f]hold me and [g]eat me,
[c]Kiss me and [f]hold me and [g]eat me,
It's fatal I [f]know,
But [c]what a way to [g]go,
It's fatal I [f]know,
But [c]what a way to [g]go.
So [c]kiss me though it [f]means the end of my [g]life,
And [c]hold me though it [f]means the end of my [g]life,
And the [f]sun will [g]shine down on [c]this our only [g]kiss,
And I should [f]run, for the [c]hills but I can't [g]resist,
And the [f]sun will [g]shine down on [c]this our only [g]kiss,
And I should [f]run, for the [c]hills but I can't [g]resist.
[c]Well she took him [g]in her arms,
And [c]said all this will [g]be OK,
You're, [c]you're more than [g]food to me,
And I [c]only eat my [g]enemies,
And [f]you are the [c]best friend that I [g]have,
[c]I love you [g]more than food,
And though a [c]King would not taste [g]half as good as [f]you,
It's [c]love I need you [g]for,
[f]It's [c]love I need you [g]for.
So [c]kiss me, [f]hold me and [g]eat me,
[c]Kiss me and [f]hold me and [g]eat me,
And the [f]sun will [g]shine down and [c]this could be the [g]start,
I'll take your [f]hand and [c]you can take my [g]heart,
And the [f]sun will [g]shine down and [c]this could be the [g]start,
I'll take your [f]hand and [c]you can take my [g]heart,
So [c]kiss me, [f]hold me and [g]eat me,
[c]Kiss me, [f]hold me and [g]eat me,
[c]Kiss me and [f]hold me and [g]eat me,
[c]Kiss me and [f]hold me and [g]eat me,
It's you that I [c]love.
p.s. I think the bridges in both songs just follow the same
verse/chorus patterns.
Cheers,

I'd probably play it with just C & F and then G but that is becuase I tend
to make up/miss out chords if I don't know what they are!
But I'm sure someone here would be able to help... what we really need is a
super robot/ 70s guitar legend!
