Here comes the band!

Warning: For those who wanted a fresh story, none follows.

Finally fixed a lineup. So it's Sridhar on the bass, Sajid on the guitar, me singing and a guy called Hamlyn from Churchgate on the drums. And here be our -final- setlist:

Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin
Voodoo Child - Jimi Hendrix
Blackest Eyes - Porcupine Tree
Throw Away Your Television - Red Hot Chili Peppers

And....

Gasoleum - The Tower Fan Experiment

Yup. That's us. And that's our original. Before you ask, yes, it's gas and mausoleum combined. The lyrics shall clarify all. The music, now that is something for us to come up with.

Gasoleum

I made a new friend today,
He was a tired old man,
About this world he said,
'We're getting by how we can.'

Communism is out the window,
McCarthy tore it to shreds,
We now reap what we've sown,
'Terrorists kill you in your beds.'

(Chorus)
'Be afraid,' he proclaims,
Television's our new God,
'The old world, down in flames.'
Sweet aphrodesiac, paranoia.

A flimsy excuse of, 'WMDs,
Hidden under every damn bed,
And then, before you know it,
Saddam, he'll blow off your head!'

You made war, you wanted gas,
You waltzed in, wearing a mask,
'Kill them all, send 'em all to hell,
They dared call -me- an infidel!'

(Chorus)

Where is the great Gandhi today?
Where's his peaceful ideal?
No more now, in this great foray,
A war, made over an oil deal.

(Chorus)

And that's more or less how we plan to have the lyrics go. What say, whoever that reads?
