Cable lyrics
Corporate_Automaton:
Ahoy, Greg!
You managed to work out what Signature Tune was about? Impressive! I haven't got any idea what any of Cable's songs are about - apart from maybe Seventy (about being old?) and Hexagon Eyes (a song about being a fly - now that's inspired!).
The bass part in From Here... is cool I agree - the last twenty seconds of the song always make me think of Primus, though I'm guessing Primus aren't a huge influence on Cable! Are you saying From Here... is in 7/4? Cause it sounds to me like 5/4?
Cheers,

Greg:
Alright,
NO ..noo..Its in Five. I agree with you. I Wrote that post quite late last night. I think I was thinking of that song but had a differnent one going in my head. I should go to sleep earlyer, This Forum is really addictive!
Greg. ;D
Corporate_Automaton:
Ahoy!
No worries! I agree with the sleep thing - I could do with a couple of days' sleep!
I'll be totally honest though I hadn't noticed that Cable were so into odd time signatures until you mentioned it! The only odd time signatured song I'd noticed before was Arthur Walker (6/4, I think) but having listened to some Cable last night/this morning, I've noticed that loads of the songs have odd time signatures - sometimes changing time halfway through the song!
I guess the odd time signatures highlight just how good the rhythm section were - to stay tight when you're changing time throughtout the song takes some skill!
Cheers,

If and when we get to the point where we have all or almost all of the lyrics here would anyone like to see them posted on the main site?

That would be cool.
Greg. ;D
