about

This was co-written with Lady Sovereign in 2008 and recorded at Rancho Deluxe Willesden Green in the same year. That's her singing the vocal sample motif that I placed right through the track.

All programming, playing, performance and production by Steve Swindells, apart from the vocal sample from Lady Sovereign and electric guitar from Jerry Richards.

lyrics

My Pocket Guru

We are not dead...

They control our souls with moving windows...
and the cut and trust of their economy of truth.
Hot and cold and day and night
Young and old and out of sight...
All the world's believing in the industry of youth.

Do I really love who I think I do?
My pocket guru.
Can we really tell what we know is true?
My pocket guru.

Put it in the socket.

All the Catholic converters leaving giant carbon footprints,
they have a wide taste in music for abusing, it's been said.
All the fun-da-mental fascists who would die to bag some virgins
and the captains of our fantasy who want to get inside our heads.

We are not dead - we are not retrograde.
This is the future and it's coming and it's us and it's them and you...
My pocket guru.

We are not dead - my pocket guru.

Do I really love who I think I do?
My pocket guru. Put in the socket.
Can we really tell what we know is true?
My pocket guru. Put in the socket.

Steve G Swindells And Lady Sovereign (c) 9.1.08

An array of groovy rock stylings here, but it's the dubrock dance of the title track that's got me most strongly hooked! Rod Novery
