been watching the republican primarys, so song and protest inspired not by the politicians (of all parties) and the bull they spin, but is a protest against the numpties that they tailor their speeches towards so as to get their votes.

you don't believe what he sez, right?
you don't believe what he sez, right?
he's saying things that in his heart
he knows is wrong
he's gonna say whatever he thinks
that you want
to hear
wanna hear

you know that he don't make no sense?
you know that he don't make no sense?
he's saying things that in his heart
he knows is wrong
he's gonna say whatever he thinks
that you want
to hear
wanna hear

he's not pulling the wool over your eyes
he's only reinforcing the lies
that you live your life by
he's not pulling the wool over your eyes
he's only reinforcing the lies

you don't believe what he sez, right?

Right?

Love this...
The really quiet vocal tracking panning flying about is incredibly effective, and suitably spooky. The whole thing sounds superb on me Desperate Dans (cans)

.
And (don't ye quiver) there is a wonderful Fish quality to the vocal. And yes, I love the first two Marillion albums.

Indeed. The industrial feel adds to the "you are being controlled" theme of the song.

Good stuff.

you know I think it's fab James ! And this final mix sounds superb !

Agree with the Cock, the bg vox are incredibly effective. I know you've used that effect before with much success, but here it's really a perfect spice to the tune!!

Well done my friend!

Excellent! I love those keyboard sounds. The drums are very effective too. I like how the snare drum is only heard in certain sections. It makes a nice contrast with the sections that have no snare.
