'Black Flag' - Greeny Monday Original

[Greeny]

Les Paul (my other humbucker one), Jazz bass, & Garageband drums & synths. All recorded and mixed on the MBR, from days last year that can be politely described as nihilistic.

This isn't surrender boy
or a Custer's last stand boy
love is like a burning priest in flames of protest on his knees

you want a revolution girl
you want to package up your world
and send it stamp-addressed to me
a subscription for some anarchy

run a black flag up the pole
an enema for the people
run a black flag up the pole
an ensign for the hinterland

run a black flag up the pole
in the darkness when the north wind's blowing
run a black flag up the pole
as a dead bird withers in our hands

stuck in the elevator boy
as the building's burning boy
this country's like the wall street crash
hopes and dreams reduced to ash

are you existential girl?
do you feel the feedback girl?
the engine's out and we're going down
with a kamikaze siren sound

run a black flag up the pole
an enema for the people
run a black flag up the pole
an ensign for the hinterland

run a black flag up the pole
in the darkness when the north wind's blowing
run a black flag up the pole
as a dead bird withers in our hands

A right rocker! I love the lyrics, enema for the people!

[Ferryman_1957]

Fabulous Tim. Love the guitar sound on the main riff and it works really well with the drum beat. Slightly off-kilter but still grooving along really well. The synths add a nice depth to the guitars and I love the guitar solo sound. The lyrics certainly create a sense of disillusionment, and it's been far too long since I heard the word "hinterland" in a song.... (Red Sails perchance?)

Another great Greeny Monday tune. I don't know how you keep everything sounding so fresh.

A fantastic song Tim and i must say your turnover of tunes is nothing short of astounding

Love the synths and guitar work on this track and it all fits the lyric perfectly

Maximum Kudos !!!!

a belter brother.

This is a bit different from you! Captivating riffs and keyboard fit like a glove. I must say that GB drums sounds better and more real drums than MBR drums. I should learn to use them...

Excellent job!

[Farrell Jackson]

The main guitar riff works so well with the drums and bass. When the synth comes in it adds a cool counter rhythm. You vocals are always good but you did a real bang up job on the harmonies...I like the way you slide them into the last word on the chorus. A tasty lead guitar break. Another well performed and produced Greeny Monday song Tim!

Quality tune Tim. Some really interesting instrumentation, the synths work really well and loving the sound coming from the bass. Sounds really rocky but current and quite progressive. Great track.

Love the imagery in the lyrics, especially the enema.  Would make a good punk song too.  Indeed, you almost sound like Johnny Rotten on this.
