Rough Terrain: Same Old Road Again

Music/lyrics by G. Davies Recorded at The Riverside Nightclub and 32 Howell Road, Exeter by P. Bateman and G. Davies during July and August 1987 Remastered at Wud Records Studios 2010 Performers: Andy Richardson – vocals George Davies – guitars Jerry Peirce – bass Danny Bouget – drums SAME OLD ROAD AGAIN Now I know it’s hard The struggle and pain You just get up on your feet And you’re in trouble again Now I know it’s hard You don’t have to tell me But when you say: “Let’s play it again!” Just what do you mean? There’s that look in your eyes I think you’re telling me lies And we’re walking back down that same old road again We will come to the same old end The time has come to be moving on It’s safe to say that it’s over and done Nothing is easy Nothing in this world Should make us change our minds And get together again We made a good sound Ideas were found But it seems we all move In different ways Look into the eyes Deceitfully wise And we’re walking back down that same old road again We will come to the same old end The time has come to be moving on It’s safe to say that it’s over and done And we’re walking back down that same old road again We will come to the same old end The time has come to be moving on It’s safe to say that it’s over and done Words by George Davies.

Sometimes they would play it immediately after their cover of Born to be Wild, joining the two songs together. Jerry’s bassline is mostly just the low-E on his bass, something many bassists would struggle to maintain without Jerry’s discipline. George wrote this on 17th May 1986 after feeling somewhat disgruntled with the demise of a previous fledgling band, The Masters of Drone.
