Making Progress
Music by Samson Bedford
Volcanoes

Don’t get any ideas young me, you wont get nothing no matter how you’re sounding
Banging out tunes forever and a day, just singing to yourself in different surroundings
But you didn’t listen and neither did your friends, had few practices and formed band
4 bands later and a change of drummer, 208 broken strings and a sore hand

I don’t feel like I’m making progress
Bottom of the food chain bottom of the bill
No you wont hear this coz we didn’t make progress
Not on the radio, in my Bedroom still

Out go the demos a million dreams, we wait by our phones but there’s nothing vibrating
Nothing gets plugged coz we’re not popular, we aint got a buzz - so I guess we’ll be waiting
Still we got a review good old Sandman, looks like we’re hotly tipped
And that review was short and sweet, you’ll never get far because your music’s shit

I don’t feel like I’m making progress
Bottom of the food chain bottom of the bill
No you wont hear coz we didn’t make progress
Not on the radio, in my Bedroom still

Nice we’ve got a gig with a touring band
A Leadmill night and we might be discovered
We’ve had to sell 50 tickets for the pleasure
Our friends are skint and we don’t do covers
No soundcheck and we can’t borrow kit
Headliners late and another band squeezed
Yet the crowd do us proud at 7.30
To bad we played at 6.15
