The Bastard Sons of Dennis: Sometimes

Sometimes by The Bastard Sons of Dennis, from their album Cherry Smoke Empire. Sometimes was one of the earliest Bastard Sons of Dennis songs, first coming to light in their sand dune sessions on Exmouth beach in the summer of 1994. Sometimes was first performed live by the duo at The Cavern in Exeter that same summer. The song originally appeared on the 1992 Levitation album Need For Not, released by Rough Trade. Terry Bickers of the band Levitation and Q.Wim were at university together and collaborated on a number of musical delights, including this. Yuri was completely unaware of the band Levitation and created his own lead guitar parts independently having never heard the original recording until this track was about to be released. In their one-off spontaneous 1998 session, the Bastard Sons of Dennis played Sometimes again, with Scott on balalaika and Yuri on bass. Mr Lijkkes tells a short ad lib tale at the start of this song that is different every time. Usually it is a rather dark-humoured and grizzly tale about Spiderlings. Sometimes is called Resist on Levitation's Need For Not album. This track was recorded before Yuri's battered old guitar was repaired. The slight distortion you hear on his guitar is actually the way the instrument sounded, with an assortment of rattles at the nut end, rather than a level that was too hot. SOMETIMES Read it young and so it spun A web of madness on my screen Expressions led me to a place It's not the world I'd intended to be in Sometimes I feel like everyone knows People believe in your lies People believe in all our our lies And who we are the Fates did ask Can't believe the sentence passed Sometimes I feel like everyone knows Sometimes I feel like everyone knows People believe in your lies People believe in all our lies Read it young and so it spun A web of madness on my screen Expressions led me to a place It's not the world I'd intended to be in Sometimes I feel like everyone knows People believe in all our our lies People believe in my lies Sometimes... I feel like everyone knows Sometimes... I feel like everyone knows Sometimes... I feel like everyone knows Sometimes... I feel like everyone knows Words and music by T. Bickers/A. Richardson.
