odd drunk demos rough deranged rampant charged

Lords Of The Deep Sea

Rough demos and unfinished projects by some of the members of The Non-Stick Panzers who were getting fed up with the name The Non-Stick Panzers.

"Trawling deep through their archives, The Lords Of The Deep Sea searched their souls and found them wanting. Nonetheless, they pressed on, letting their music crash through its peaks and troughs like a badly-built boat on a storm-tossed sea; sure in the certain knowledge that somewhere, someone would have the foresight, wit and intelligence to see their work for its true worth, or just to wave back and laugh as they sailed further out of their depth. Prepare yourselves for their drunken, half-baked ideas, mad ramblings, unfinished symphonies and rough demos."

Story behind the song

Wanting to become an explorer, wanting to stay with a certain girl, wanting to sing; wanting and failing. Revisiting places you used to know well, only to find the magic gone. Robert Burns put it much better... 
"The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men 
Gang aft agley, 
An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain, 
For promis'd joy!"
Ironically, we had high hopes for this song once. Unfortunately Wull could do no more than hint at the melody. We tried to revive it many years later, but by then, it too had become Yesterday's News.

Lyrics

When you wake up feeling strange
When the things you count on are deranged
It's the same friend you'd left behind
That cuts the beam you'd stepped outside of

Beaches walked in, places talked in
It's all bad news now

You've made them hate you now
When once they loved you anyhow
It was the same spark in attraction
That's going to fire their repulsion

Beaches walked in, places talked in
It's all bad news now

When the city is not on your side
And all those places feel like lies
It was the same spot that once made you feel good
Those trees that helped you - only wood

I read the morning paper
And suddenly a lifeline...
Marco Polo grabbed me - is he still out there somewhere?
And then I realised - It was yesterday's paper
It was yesterday's news
