Help The View Write Their New Album

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

"The Band have recorded 4 songs for their new album...'Jimmys Crazy Conspiracy' about their mate Jimmys conspiracy theories, '5 Rebeccas' is about one night in which they met 5 girls all called Rebecca"

(via the_roofdog, dunno where he got it from)

I think we can help The View write more songs, don't you? Let's put a tracklist together!

1. Jimmy's Crazy Conspiracy
2. 5 Rebeccas
3. Biggest Pigeon - "the band were on tour and saw what had to be the biggest pigeon ever. It was huge!"
4. Three At Once - "don't worry, it's not about their bedroom antics. It's about how the singer had to wait ages for a taxi one night and then suddenly three of them turned up!"

TO BE CONTINUED BY YOU...

5. Banger - "not actually a club banger, but detailing one Christmas dinner where two members of the View pulled a cracker and it failed to go 'bang'."

[infov0re.livejournal.com]

obviously not a BANGER either, as the lyrics explain:

"I said there was no banger/ he thought I meant a spliff/ I mean the bit of wood / that goes bang and makes a whiff"

[infov0re.livejournal.com]

Although, now I think about it, it's paper, right?

5. Out Of Milk - "this one's a true story... our bassist got home late one night and went to make a cuppa, but when he opened the fridge, he discovered, to his horror, that we'd run out of milk."
6. Drying Paint - "what could be better than watching paint dry? I'll tell you what's better.... singing about watching paint dry."

7. Bra Song - "The three-year-old niece of the View's bassist caused hilarity at a family dinner by asking "Mummy, what's a bra?". The band used the comic incident as inspiration for this catchy new tune."

7. Two Pints "Not the famous one, this is about when you buy two pints just before the end of happy hour so they're cheap"
8. Nan's House "This is about going to your nan's house"

[piratemoggy.livejournal.com]

9. Out Of Baccy "When you're in the van and you run out of baccy, sometimes you have to wait until the next service station to have a cigarette"

[bengraham.livejournal.com]

Presumably in the same style as Track 5 (Out Of Milk)?

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

It's a reprise, innit.

The album is called "Deprived Youth"

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

It says in the liner notes how they've been affected by the credit crunch, and this album is dedicated to their mate who worked in the city but got fired recently.

And the drummer thanks his mum for always keeping him stocked with stuff.

I'm disappointed that the View didn't go with 'Ruddy Big Pigeon' for the title of #3.

9. Where's My Jumper? - "The singer has lost his new jumper at the disco. 'I know there's been songs on similar themes', says Keith View, 'But the problem hasn't gone away.'"

[jeff-worrell.livejournal.com]

It's Keiren not Keith! Ooh! hang on, I feel the inspiration for a song coming on...

[the-roofdog.livejournal.com]

10. 'Pretend Your Name Is Keith' ?

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

10. Big Bob "Our roadie - he's PROPER Mental!!!!"

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

11. Big Dave "This one's a ballad though."

[jeff-worrell.livejournal.com]

9. Odd Socks "Kyle turned up to the studio one day with odd socks on! How we laughed. This could be the song to match the success of 'Same Jeans' ...well, the tune's quite similar. So are lyrics now I think about it."

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

11. The Intense Humming Of Evil - "The View's Mum bought a new hoover - 'The humming did my head in,' says the singer about the inspiration for this track, 'It was mental. We called it the Evil Hoover.'

[the-roofdog.livejournal.com]

12. Twenty Going In - "This is what Joyce in the pie shop always shouts when Nigel pays for the View's lunchtime steak bakes with a note. It's about consumerism."

[celentari.livejournal.com]

12. Good With Faces - Recalling that memorable night when they had to ask someone to repeat what their name was - having already been told once! It's nothing personal, they're just bad with names.

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

13. The View Team - "Wouldn't it be great if we were superheroes on the run from the law? We like this one a lot as each member of the band gets to shout their own name out."

[piratemoggy.livejournal.com]

12. Posters Of Pete "One day the band was looking at posters of their mate Pete Doherty and thought about how they used to have some."

"the buttered side (bread fall song)" quirky instrumental

[braisedbywolves.livejournal.com]

"Dogs Can't Look Up" It's true!

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Gone Before You Left - "We warned Keiren about drinking a whole carton of Rubicon before we got in the van, but would he listen?"

[andthatisthat.livejournal.com]

Nothing On The Telly - "This one's about that night when they realised there was nothing on the telly, so they read the NME instead."

[catsgomiaow.livejournal.com]

The Day The Clocks Went Forward - "This one's about the day when no-one in the band realised that the clocks had gone forward. We were all an hour late to the studio and our manager was WELL cross with us!"

[oddnumbereven.livejournal.com]

'Alt-Tab' - "Firefox is well wicked, man!"

'Stain Like Africa' - "This stain on the wall, yeah? Shaped just like Africa. Think we'll do something with Geldof on this."

[skyecaptain.livejournal.com]

"Dreams of Seattle" - When we had to cancel our U.S. tour, we decided to really get a feel for the place by looking it up on Wikipedia. The one thing that really stood out for us, and I think this goes for everyone, was probably the Space Needle. Bloody brilliant. Can't wait to see it up close!

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Who Are You? - "We were sat in the pub with one of our manager's mates who none of us knew, and it turned out our manager didn't know him either and thought he was with us!"

There will never be another Lidl like this Lidl - "We went to Lidl to buy some ketchup, but we ended up buying a load of frankfurters, it was mental!"

This song is a love-lorn ballad.

Oh linda, from Lidl in Coventry
I doubt if you'll remember me

Sassy with a nice hair-do
just popped in for cereal - oh oh!
Forgot the milk, oh no!
What was I gonna do? - oh oh!

Push you round in a trolley
Share your ice lolly
Post you our new CD
Oh why don't you love me?
