Well hey, how's tricks man
Think I seen you before
Blank blank do ya
You looked a lot older
You been workin' out
Whats wrong with that

Well he came back and
Came marching in
Shot shot to the
He found a good reason
Do it for the money
Whats wrong with that

Control your bad side in to peril
We come down
Hold the line
You'll survive
Dead wrong

So please stop talking
Start puckering up
My ears are blank
Its the special occasions
You do it for the money
Can't go wrong with that

Explode or capsize
Provide my poet
If you're down
Town the line
You're so fine
Dead wrong

Anyone else hear "Brass Monkey" when the sax kicks in?

Cracking song this. It might just be the sax reminding me, but surprised I rarely (if ever?) hear Morphine on RP.

omg this is such a great song when the sax kicks in and i can't sit still.

Quirky song, in a good way.

in our gun is probably my very fav by them. i really wish i'd have seen them live during this time.

Need a new album and tour from these guys. Been way too long! Hope they haven't hung it up for good.

Ohhhh this is cool!  It reminds me of Morphine in a good way with the use of sax...
Posted 2 years ago by tm    [ Reply ]
Humm, sounds a little to much like Radiohead 's National Anthem, up tempo.  Even the horns...

The saxophone riff reminds me of “Brass Monkey” by the Beastie Boys.

But this has a baritone sax — like what Brass Monkey should have used instead of that squeaky thing.

Song gets a 6. The "Bottom Burp" Sax gets an 8. Averages out to a solid 7.

 Funny-I'm listening to RP on Friday, 11/1/13, and the playlist is in the same order as you heard back then: McCartney, Gomez, etc...

 Morphine meets Radiohead, for sure. Is there any singular appeal to Gomez? I mean, they're not bad, but I've heard nothing by them that really grabs me...

Yes and no. No, not all the songs are like this one. The band has three different writers, Ben Ottewell, Ian Ball, and Tom Gray. This one's Ian Ball's. They're all terrific writers, so, yes, the rest of the album is as good as this song. Fair enough?

Absolutely.

This song is a teaser: The National Anthem -> Buena -> Brass Monkey -> The National Anthem.

This is about as close to sampling I've heard in while that does not credit the original artists.

I agree! The first time I heard the beginning guitar lick was on TV in a car commercial and I thought "Damn, what a PJ Harvey rip off! And to sell cars, no less!" I didn't realize it was actually a song by a real band. I thought it was commissioned to sound like PJ since they only play the guitar lick part. I like the full version!
I thought the Mazda commercial was a rip off of the Radiohead tune "national anthem" I thought this song was too at the beginning... but I guess there are only so many notes you're bound to repeat some...

I agree! I just saw them 2 months ago and my only complaint is that they don't have an actual horns section and didn't make too much of an attempt to simulate the horns with the keyboards. But that's not really even a complaint because the show was so faboo. Gomez are your friends.
