Welcome to the official WAX rarity album. These are demo's of
songs, bits of unfinished songs, musical meanderings, live recordings
and general musical flora and fauna for all you sound trainspotters out
there. So, have at it...

Please make yourself familiar with the exits in case of emergency.
And now, Graham and I will add some commentary to help shed some
light on the dark and murky waters we call WAX RARITIES:

INTRODUCTION
Welcome, hi, how are you doing?
We hope you enjoy our recording of "He Said She Said"
Zeigerzunt

ROCK MY WORLD
GG: I remember Zomba had asked for a typical sounding 'Back Street
Boys' song for the band. They rejected ours, and why? It sounded too
much like the 'Back Street Boys'. Go figure.
AG: What up doh? Yo, we would never talk like that in real life. But
the sound is hype and it's like that, yo. Tight.

It's alright, yeah it's okay
Go ahead and rock my world
It's just fine, it's cool this way
Uhhuh there you go girl
C'mon and rock my world
I love to party, baby, all night long
Stay up with all my friends
Just chill and hang out until dawn
The party never ends
Now I'm not saying I've been a real bad boy
But girl, I ain't no saint
Yeah there's been lots of pretty girls around
But baby I hardly took the bit
Yeah I thought I had a feeling
But I didn't have a clue
Thought I had a master plan, babe
But I didn't figure on you, yeah
You came along and threw a spanner in the works
It's alright, yeah it's okay
Go ahead and rock my world
It's just fine, it's cool this way
Uh huh yeah you go girl
Rock my world... hey
I thought I'd really been in love before
Maybe a time or two
But now I realise there's so much more
And it's all because of you
(Let me give you an example)
I was happy when you met me
Thought I had it going on
Thought it couldn't get much better
But baby I was wrong yeah
You came along and threw a spanner in the works
It's alright, yeah it's okay
Go ahead and rock my world
It's just fine, it's cool this way
Uh huh yeah you go girl
Rock my world... hey
It's alright, yeah it's okay
Go ahead and rock my world
It's just fine, it's cool this way
Uh huh yeah you go girl
Rock my world... hey
Like this..
It's alright, yeah it's okay
Go ahead and rock my world
It's just fine, it's cool this way
Uh huh yeah you go girl
Rock my world... hey
It's alright, yeah it's okay
Go ahead and rock my world
It's just fine, it's cool this way
Uh huh yeah you go girl
Rock my world... hey
It's alright, yeah it's okay
Go ahead and rock my world
It's just fine, it's cool this way
Uh huh yeah you go girl
Rock my world... hey
...wow that's good!

LAZYBONES
GG: Andrew likes to take a nap..
AG: zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. A fun track. Written in London. Recorded in
LA. My landlord complained it was too loud when I played it 400687
times one hour.

Yeah
You lay in bed all day, a lonely hideaway
You're a lazybones
Hum and name this tune, waste the afternoon
You're a lazybones
Oh you're a lazybones
A-dreaming 'bout a life of ease
Whistling while reality goes creeping by
Mm mmm
Living in the crouch of lying on the couch
You're a lazybones (he's so lazy)
The hero brave and bold with the remote control
You're a lazybones (so la-a-azy)
Oh you're a lazybones
Climbing up the Eiffel tower
Hanging round the clouds for hours until you fall
Oh oh
Mmm opportunity lost in fantasy
You're a lazybones (he's so lazy)
Living on the line, a legend in your mind
You're a lazybones
Woah oh you're a lazybones
A man without a purpose here
Helpless as those nameless fears come closing in
Oh oh
Yes you are ooh yup
Lazybones nothing but a lazybones
Drifting in the twilight zone
Yes you are a lazybones
Come in
Lazybones nothing but (yes you're lazy) but a lazybones
(The future's hazy) talking about a lazybones
Nothing but a lazybones
Lazybones, talking (oh just a hideaway) 'bout a lazybones
Nothing but a lazybones
Talking 'bout (oh oh) a lazybones (just a hideaway)
Lazybones nothing but a lazybones
Talking 'bout a lazybones
Nothing but (you know you want to yes) a lazybones
I'll go take a little nap. Yawn!

HA HA WENT THE CLOWN
GG: We can do dark too.
AG: Sounds light to me.

I think I'll go to the asylum
To get a cup of tea
I think that they're all mad there
Because they all laugh at me

ALL ABOARD
GG: We can do light too.
AG: Now THIS sounds dark.

Aaaallllll aboard, all aboard
Aaaallllll aboard, all aboard
Aaaallllll aboard, all aboard

THE LIE
One of my favourite AG/GG songs. Nice chord changes.
AG: I concur wholeheartedly

Graham!
Since you've been gone I've had a good time
Enjoying freedom every day
Doing the things you never let me do
The things that got in my own way woah oh
It's such a picture of perfection
Don't have to answer when you call
Don't have to be the one to hold your hand
In fact there's no-one there at all
Outside your protection
I lost my direction
I need your affection oh oh
You cured my affliction
You fixed my addiction
Come back and help me turn this feeling down
I call, I phone, you say "I told you so!"
My fault, my fault, my fault
Without you here it's nice and quiet (quiet quiet quiet)
You can't disturb my peace of mind
I never get upset at all these days
'Cause nothing happens all the time
Outside your protection
I lost my direction
I need your affection oh oh
You cured my affliction
You fixed my addiction
Come back and help me turn this feeling down
I call, I phone, you say "I told you so!"
My fault, my fault
Outside your protection
I lost my direction
I need your affection oh oh
You cured my affliction
You fixed my addiction
Come back and help me turn this feeling down
Outside your protection
I lost my direction
I need your affection oh oh
You cured my affliction
You fixed my addiction
Come back and help me turn this feeling down

GINGER'S BAKERY(Instrumental)
GG: We can do bonkers too.
AG: Ya, wacky. I should've included "We Lost It" in this collection.

WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
GG: Great lyrics.
AG: It took me a while to realise that there WERE lyrics:
"people who live in glass houses... shouldn't throw stones through da
window"... All these years I thought you were just going la de da on this.

People who live in glass houses
They shouldn't throw stones at the window
They would end up being cold at night
Then they would have to call a glazier at night
Ooh welcome to the neighbourhood
Woah oh the end
Hello my name is Harvey Lisberg
I'm the manager of Wax.
What do you mean?
You don't like the mix?

TIME ON HIS HANDS
GG: More great lyrics. "Time on his feet" indeed.
AG: I wash my hands and feet of this.

He's got time on his hands
He's got time on his feet
(Lisberg)

SLOW DOWN LIVE
GG: See we can rock too.
AG: We both wanted to be in the Beatles. Graham came closest,
being in 10cc.

Thank you, you guys are great! Well, we're just gonna like slow
things down with a little - no, don't do that - it's a ballad, but you
might wanna dance it's like
One
Well, come on pretty baby, won't you walk with me?
Come on pretty baby, won't you talk with me?
Come on pretty baby, give me one more chance
Try and save our romance
Slow down, baby 'cause you're moving way too fast
You gotta give me a little loving
Give me a little loving
If you want our love to last
Well I used to walk you home baby, after school
Carry your books home too
But now you got a boyfriend and diamond ring
Baby what are you trying to do?
You'd better slow down
Baby 'cause you're moving way too fast
You gotta give me a little loving
Give a little loving brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
If you want our love to last aaaaghhh
Well come on now let me tell you what I'll do
Come on pretty baby why can't you be true?
I need your loving baby oh so bad
You're the best little woman I ever had
You'd better slow down
Baby 'cause you're moving way too fast
You gotta give me a little loving
Give a little loving brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
If you want our love to last aaaaghhh
Well come on now let me tell you what I'll do
Come on pretty baby why can't you be true?
I need your loving baby oh so bad
You're the best little woman I ever had
You'd better slow down
Baby 'cause you're moving way too fast
You gotta give me a little loving
Give a little loving brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
If you want our love to last
You got to give a little loving
Give a little loving
If you want our love to last
Thank you, drive safely everybody
Thank you

BUG ON THE COTE D'AZUR
GG: Recorded originally with myself and Andrew and one guitar in
the south of France after a BBQ and a few bottles of red. You can hear
Gill and Vanessa clearing up in the background. When Andrew sent
me this version as a Christmas greeting, which he had obviously spent
a lot of time on, I almost cried it was so good. Thank you Andrew.
AG: My pleasure. Note Gill laughing when I begin my spatula/bbq
tong solo (a la spoons). Good times.

I've been bitten by a bug on the Cote D'Azur
I've been bitten by a bug and I'm feeling sore
I've been bitten by a bug on the Cote D'Azur
And that's why I ain't going to come back no more
I've been bitten by a bug on the Cote D'Azur
I've been bitten by a bug in the Villefranche (the ville de French!)
I can't think of a word that rhymes
It happens to me every time
I've been bitten by a bug in the Villefranche
Ladies and Gentlemen, Andrew Gold
I've been bitten by a bug in the Villefranche
I've been bitten in the bug, with, on the bug, in the Villefranche
It's much worse being bitten under my ranch
I've been bitten by a bug in the Val D'Isere
(sounds very similar to er...)
I've been bitten by a bug in the Val D'Isere
I've been bitten in the Val D'Isere
It went right through to my underwear
He's been bitten by a bug in the Val D'Isere, the Val D'Isere
Like a totally merry, merry Christmas

DIRTY LOVE
GG: Should have been on a WAX album.
AG: Should have been on a WAX album.
Hey wait... it IS on a WAX album. THIS one.

You've got an angel's face and a wicked smile
And a dress too short to mention
It's not too hard to read your one-track mind
You sure know how to get attention
One look my eyes are open
One touch and I'm aflame
One kiss and it's all over
I can't resist 'cause you got no shame
Your dirty love, your dirty love I love
Your dirty love
Your dirty love, your dirty love I love
Your dirty love
The things you whisper softly in my ear
You should really be ashamed
It's like a prayer and swear word out of your mouth
Every time you breath my name
Private lessons in the classroom
Extra curricular activity
One cool teacher and a student
Major in sensuality
Your dirty love, your dirty love I love
Your dirty love
Your dirty love, your dirty love I love
Your dirty love
When you ask me 'Are you hungry, love?'
No doubt what's on the menu
When you lay me down and serve it up
No-one can cook the way that you do
Oh no
Your dirty love, your dirty love I love
Your dirty love
Your dirty love, your dirty love I love
Your dirty love
Your dirty love, your dirty love I love
Your dirty love
Your dirty love, your dirty love I love
Your dirty love

13/4 THING (Instrumental)
GG: We should have finished it.
AG: yeah, interesting. But I think it was too hard to count 13/4 for
more than 1 minute.

FRANCESCA MACGREGOR
GG: We saw her in a pub in Prestbury near where I lived, found out
her name, and came back to my place to write this homage to her
attributes. I quite fancied a Highland fling myself. Nuff said.
AG: You liked her too? I wonder if she'll ever know... Someone buy
her this record for her birthday.

Yes, our love is like a runaway train
Francesca MacGregor, Francesca MacGregor,
Francesca MacGregor was there
Francesca MacGregor was there

PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD
GG: Another of our best songs. Check out the overlapping backing
vocals. Brilliant.
AG: We have no self esteem issues in this band.

Here in this world there are all kinds of people
All kinds of problems to solve every day
Too much at stake for the work to be unequal
You can't fight for peace in a battle-zone
You can't find solutions while standing alone
People all over this world gonna have to help each other
'Cause people all over this world have to live with one another
If people all over this world, every colour, creed and nation
Found a common path
What a world we'd have, it's not imagination
Fighting for money and fighting for power
Fighting for land you don't need anyway
Hate and confusion in Babylon's tower
Making no effort to better yourself
Misunderstanding everyone else
People all over this world gonna have to help each other
'Cause people all over this world have to live with one another
If people all over this world, every colour, creed and nation
Found a common path
What a world we'd have, it's not imagination
What's the matter when we really need to band together
How would you like it if our history was lost forever?
People all over this world gonna have to help each other
'Cause people all over this world have to live with one another
If people all over this world, every colour, creed and nation
Found a common path
What a world we'd have, it's not imagination
P(eople)eace and (all) love (over) for (this) every (world) nation
P(eople)eace and (all) love (over) for (this) every (world) nation
P(eople)eace and (all) love (over) for (this) every (world) nation
P(eople)eace and (all) love (over) for (this) every (world) nation
P(eople)eace and (all) love (over) for (this) every (world) nation
P(eople)eace and (all) love (over) for (this) every (world) nation

A SINGLE KISS
GG: Andrew gets soppy.
AG: HEY! It was a true story... hmph!

I was young, she was older
Both at school, was an innocent time
I saw her name written on her notebook
Feeling strange and wondering why
I remember seeing her walking
A sad smile playing truth or dare
I took the bait and we began talking
And came the day when she showed she cared
And a single kiss taught me more about love
More about love
Than making love would ever reveal
In a single kiss I knew
A touch, a glance, infatuation
And then by chance suddenly we're alone
Then I asked what she was thinking
When she raised her eyes
She was whispering "You"
In a dream a wave washed over the both of us
Feeling flushed and alive
My heart was pounding as I moved closer
Face to face we closed our eyes
And a single kiss taught me more about love
More about love
Than making love would ever reveal
In a single kiss I knew
I remember seeing her walking
A sad smile playing truth or dare
I took the bait and we began talking
And came the day when she showed she cared
And a single kiss taught me more about love
More about love
Than making love would ever reveal
In a single kiss I knew
Oh somehow I knew
That a single kiss taught me more about love
More about love
Than making love coule ever reveal

CHINESE BACKWARDS MUSIC (Instrumental) / SUPERMAN
GG: Where was I?
AG: You're playing on these!!

We get more negatives from the American record company than Kodak gets.

YOU FOUND OUT
GG: I hate the verses but love the chorus.
AG: Johnny Hates Jazz almost did this. We love it when
People ALMOST do things.

One moment filled with passion
A perfect stranger in our bed
With our fire and thunder crashing
No tomorrows. no regrets
But now I wish it had never been
'Cause my love ran out
When I let the stranger in
I told you lies, oh yeah
But you found out, you found out
I'm gonna cry, oh yeah
'Cause you found out, you found out
One thing leads to another
It's too late to apologise
My secret's been discovered
And now I have to pay the price
And my love, I don't wanna lose you now
But if you want to go
I can't really blame you now
I told you lies, oh yeah
But you found out, you found out
I'm gonna cry, oh yeah
'Cause you found out, you found out
You found out, you found out
You found out, you found out
I was only window shopping now
And you found out
And now I wish it had never been
'Cause my love ran out
When I let the stranger in
I told you lies, oh yeah
But you found out, you found out
I'm gonna cry, oh yeah
'Cause you found out, you found out
I told you lies, oh yeah
But you found out, you found out
I'm gonna cry, oh yeah
'Cause you found out, you found out
You found out, you found out
You found out, you found out

BILLIARD THEMES (Instrumental)
GG: Lots of fun to write and record.
Recorded at Strawberry studios, Stockport.
AG: Written in one afternoon, and there's another I didn't include too.
For Bikini Part 2.

ON THE WATERFRONT
GG: Recorded for a Saturday morning TV show.
AG: We were into yelling "HEY!" a lot back then (note: Systematic).
Great echoplex guitar from Graham.

On the waterfront, come and join the fun
'Cause the party starts right here yeah
On the waterfront
On the waterfront, won't you all come down
And be with everyone, dancing round and round
We can sing, we can play
We can breathe today
On the waterfront
Let's go, let's go, let's go
Say yes, better don't say no
Come on, don't you drag your feet
Let's, let's, let's all meet
On the waterfront, it's the place to be
On the waterfront, come and go with me
We can have some fun in the morning sun
On the waterfront
Hey!
I'm gonna get away, it's a holiday
'Cause the party starts right here, yeah
On the waterfront
Hear the music play, come on everyone
Have a laugh today, I'm gonna have big fun
Come and be a part now when the magic starts
On the waterfront
Let's go, let's go, let's go
Say yes, better don't say no
Come on, don't you drag your feet
Yeah, yeah, let's all meet

On the waterfront, come and join the fun
On the waterfront, be with everyone
'Cause the party starts right here yeah
On the waterfront ooh
We can have some fun in the morning sun
On the waterfront

THE LAST TIME I FELL IN LOVE
GG: Another one that got away. Very pretty chorus.
Nice chords, natch.
AG: Yeah. This one was my favourite from those early days in the
Hollywood Hills. Where are Sydney and Sheila now? And T-Bird!
More good times.

The way we met was accidental
I felt the spark of somethiing special
??? that happened naturally
The first time we were nervous and shy
The second time she was curious and so was I
The third time we could not resist
It happened like this
The last time I fell in love
Every day since I have known her
In every way we've grown closer
And maybe now it's time to change her name
Woah, oh oh
The first time we were nervous and shy
The second time she was curious and so was I
The third time we could not resist
It happened like this
The last time I fell in love
The first time we were nervous and shy
The second time she was curious and so was I
The third time we could not resist
It happened like this
The last time I fell in love
I remember those hungry nights
When we played in the dark
Making love in our paradise
Lying heart to heart, lying heart to heart
The first time we were nervous and shy
The second time she was curious and so was I
The third time we could not resist
It happened like this
The last time I fell in love
The first time we were nervous and shy
The second time she was curious and so was I
You know we could not resist
And it ain't love like this
It's the last time I fell in love
The first time
The second time she was curious and so was I
You know we could not resist

SOMEBODY'S WAITING
GG: How did I allow that vocal to be used?
AG: It's not so bad! Graham wrote the lyrics about his future ex.

Good evening Harrogate, how are you?
Somebody's waiting
Somebody's waiting for you
Somebody's wishing
If you were only a heartbeat away
Somebody's lonely
And needs to be with you only
But time moves so slowly
That it feels you're a lifetime away
My lonely heart beating inside me
Here in the dark
My lonely heart only reminds me
That the one I need is an ocean away
I'm thinking about us
I'm thinking of all we've been through
The distance between us
Makes the telephone line a lifeline to you
Something is missing
Two lips that I should be kissing
Waiting and wishing
For the time we're together again
My lonely heart beating inside me
Here in the dark
My lonely heart only reminds me
That the one I need is an ocean away
When you love someone
You wanna say what's right
But it comes out all wrong
Every day's so long
When you miss someone
When you miss someone
When you love someone
When you love someone
My lonely heart beating inside me
Here in the dark
My lonely heart only reminds me
That the one I need is an ocean away
My lonely heart beating inside me
Here in the dark
My lonely heart only reminds me
That the one I need is an ocean away

DOES ANYBODY REMEMBER THE SIXTIES?
GG: It's amazing what you can do with technology these days.
AG: no, you were really stoned and drunk. Trippy, man.

Was anybody alive in the sixties?
Okay, that's good, so I'm not alone, okay
We're gonna do a couple of songs that I wrote way back when...

BRIDGE TO YOUR HEART DEMO
GG: It works for me
AG: Worked for our accountant too.

WHEN EAST MEETS WEST/LAUNDROMAT
GG: Could have been contenders.
AG: Yeah. What you said.

FRANCESCA'S MAGNETIC MOON
GG: Not her again
AG: As you can hear, this was also the beginning chords to Magnetic
Heaven and also bits of Shanghai Moon. We are not afraid to recycle.

LONE SOLDIER
GG: I like the rifles reloading in the choruses. Is there any
compression on this track?
AG: I need a decompression chamber, it's true. Especially back then.
Notice the drum loop with "rifles" become out of sync' beat wise
towards the end... must have been a 2/4 bar in there somewhere... I
also like the "I don't know but I've been told" army march song stuff.
Like anyone would want US to fight for our countries. Ha. Maybe we
could sing our enemies to sleep

One step forward and two steps back
This train we ride always jumps the track
The left hand gives but the right hand takes
Soon as one thing’s fixed, another one breaks
Woah oh when the chips are down
You just can’t give it up you gotta turn it around
Might have to walk alone
With no-one on your side
Make the pieces fit, it’s a matter of pride
You gotta march straight on, lone soldier
Beat your drum, lone soldier
You gotta stand your ground, lone soldier
Yeah, ‘cause they don’t take no prisoners
One day smiles, the next day frowns
‘Cause what goes up must come down
I need to see the doctor but the doctor’s ill
Something came along like you know it will
Woah oh don’t you run away
Face it face to face, could be your lucky day
Put your pie in the sky and your head in the sand
Don’t let the hand of fate push you around
You gotta march straight on, lone soldier
Beat your drum, lone soldier
You gotta stand your ground, lone soldier
Yeah, ‘cause they don’t take no prisoners
Lone soldier, lone soldier
I told you sound the battle cry
Lone soldier, war’s not over
It’s on your shoulders
Let your victory colours fly
You gotta march straight on, lone soldier
Beat your drum, lone soldier
You gotta stand your ground, lone soldier
Yeah, ‘cause they don’t take no prisoners
You gotta march straight on, lone soldier
Beat your drum, lone soldier
You gotta stand your ground, lone soldier
Yeah, ‘cause they don’t take no prisoners
Lone soldier, lone soldier
Lone soldier, yeah

(25 second gap)

Hey, could you turn this off?
It’s over!
