Parvenu

[DarrenG / The Devil's Toupee]

Keiths been chewing at the dictionary again of old-fashioned words for those flash-Harry-types.
He assures me he didn't make them up. :-)

      Parvenu
Make way... for the parvenu...
With the mouth, the mouth of a muckspout
Driven to crapulous excess
You make it all, make it all so Nanty-narky
Then batty-fan it into a mess
Parvenu...
You avaricious ninny-hammer 

A colourful metaphor of profanity
Is that your best shot at me? Yeah?

Once upon a crepuscular crawler   
Made too many, too many a fopdoodle
No need to be such a scobberlotcher
Obsequious as a funky poodle
 
Make way...for the parvenu...Break away...from the parvenu
Make way...for the parvenu...Break away...from the parvenu ...yeah...
You avaricious ninny-hammer
You avaricious ninny-hammer
Make way for the parvenu...Make way for the parvenu
(INST)
Make way...for the parvenu...Break away...from the parvenu
Make way...for the parvenu...Break away...from the parvenu
Make way... (Make way)...for the parvenu.


Lyrics:Kallen

[StephenM]

those guitars sound brilliant Darren!  Then there is that bass...
but those lyrics are so interesting... I admit I looked up at least 10 of those...
great stuff..

this song marches real nice... tight too...

Loving the beatle/70's vibe and Keith has done a hell of a job on the vocal.loving the guitars if fact whole track is a thing of beauty

[Ray Brookes]

I have not a clue what Keith is singing about with those ye olde English words but no matter. The instrumentation is remarkable as is the creativity in the arranging. That guitar work is stellar without going crazy with shredding solos and what brilliant bass lines. Such a high benchmark track, Darren.

my uncle just told me that you have posted a new song and what a cracker? as my uncle says above, not a clue what the song is about but the vocals, backing, production, the whole package is fabulous mate. well done fellers.

[Farrell Jackson]

What an excellent song guys...wow! A great use of the historical/hysterical words. Cool guitar and vocals!

[hardlock]

I'm with Ray on this one!

[kenny mac]

Superb stuff guys.
Nice tone on that guitar.
Excellent performance.
Those lyrics are mental.
Bravo.

[OdilonGreen]

Hey, I learned lots of new words today (had to look them up). I really like the anger and sarcasm of the vocals, the raging, out-of-left-field feel of the aggressive rock that so well reflects a world barely holding it together. Definitely a song for our times!

[BerryPatch]

Great track guys! I dig the 10cc harmonies with the heavy guitar keeping things funky with bass. Very original sound here once again guys, perfect performances all around.
