Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Story behind the song
This is a very old song. I always liked the tune but the lyrics were shockingly bad (..."gonna get my x-ray shooter and go supernova tonight, yeah!"...) so I had to rewrite them before I could bring myself to record it.
Lyrics
There she was at the bookshop counter Like a girl from a fantasy. I just couldn't believe I'd found her. Do you think it was meant to be? You've been reading too much Science fiction! Well I took her for a drive and then we Had fun at the cinema. We were getting on fine and dandy, "But if you think that it's something more," she said, "You've been reading too much science fiction!" Never should have expected different From the planet of perfidy. I'm sticking with my paper friends! Do you think it was meant to be? You've been reading too much Science fiction!

Brilliant style and sound - love those vocal harmonies. Very radio-friendly - this has "hit" written all over it! Great production and arrangement. Excellent! Added to my station!
