Men In Trousers - a Tworegs and Chapperz original

[chapperz66]

I used to work with a bloke who used to say "Watch out - the men in trousers are here!" if our depot was visited by senior management. A strange thing to say but I knew exactly what he meant.  And so does Trevor who has produced magical lyrics and superb vocal delivery.

This one took a little while to do - for various reasons - but we love it.

Men in Trousers

Watch out cause they are everywhere
Their are watching you right now
Their trying to figure out
the where the what and the how
Just how can  they open your soul bare
Come on, put the light out
It's dark out there

Men in trousers are everywhere
Men in trousers everywhere
Look out behind you, because they are there
Looking over your shoulder to see if you are there
To see where you go
Are you alone
Are you doing what, you are told
Are you
Are you
They'll look you in the eye
You can be assured that they'll ask you why?
Why do you do this?
Why do you do that?
Why is that on it's way over there to do  that?
Everybody knows they haven't a clue
Their just here for something to do

Men in trousers
Men in trousers
Men in trousers
Their  everywhere

Everywhere

When yesterday was something to still be afraid from
They were here counting out the bricks that were laid for income
They said to themselves that's 4 by 25  Maybe there is something more we can do to make them thrive
they want you working harder, that much is a must
To have your days filled from dawn to dusk
Men in trousers
Men in trousers

Men in trousers
Men in trousers
Men in trousers

Makes sure the clock goes tick

Men in trousers
They make sure the clock goes tick
Men in trousers
Men in trousers

Men in trousers
Are everywhere
Look out 
Watch out cause their there
They are watching you right now
Their trying to figure out
The where the what and how
If you tell the truth or do you always lie
Quick put the light out
You remember why
the Men in trousers are everywhere
You close your eyes but their still there
Their  everywhere
everywhere


Are you alone
Are you doing what your told
Are you are you

They have your eye
They are looking in it right now
Their  are asking why
Why do you do this
Why do you do that
Why why
Men in trousers
Men in trousers

A lot of fun putting this one together! Men in trousers. What a great expression for the suits that parade around the workplaces watching what everyone is doing.

Trevor is indeed a special talent...so theatrical...so expressive.... I love the guitar work on here especially Paul.... and the bass is big... and it is so dang busy... you def are busy doing this...and it is very scrubbed like the cleanliness of an operating room....
btw,... the "Men in trousers" thing we knew as "the dog and pony show" in the Navy... the Admiral would show up and right behind him... I mean like on his ass was the "Rear Admiral."  lol... I figured out why they called him the rear admiral... had his nose up the Admirals rear...literally... and then behind them would be a cadre of lessers....

I've just been wowed by Trev's "Fear" and now I listen to this stunner! Double wow!! I just love the off kilter riff that drives this and the effects you have used are really clever. And when you bring the keys in to echo the riff, that really brings the dynamics here to a new level. Loving the guitar solo towards the end. There's so much to like here in the music, but then add the lyrical content and the concept, and that takes it to another level. And of course a great vocal performance from Trev.

You've handled the mixing and production beautifully Paul. Many layers and it gradually builds up but never gets too muddy or messy. A brilliant track, well done guys!

Lol i remember me listening to Ironman and thinking what can be more than this from Trevor and Paul ? And this is a new surprise, perfect and funny and disturbing and illuminating. Man in trousers, you nailed it and music and words are a perfect picture. Ambitious track, truly a great great song (I am still amazed by the lot of remarkable things paul can fit into a single song ;- )

Love it , as someone who was fair game for the men in trousers where i worked,  i can relate to this composition 100% , but by god this is one hell of a song and composition , the music is stunning and beautifully recorded and performed by Chapperz , he has a very high standard is his work which is always expert in its delivery , and Reg that vocal performance is just brilliant , fits the song like a glove,  Perfect stuff

Nobody else could have done this song but Trev.
Paul's a musical genius and he has picked the right guy for the job here.Superb.

[Blooby]

There are so many things to dig about this, but I am just flabbergasted by the production. Jesus palomino.
