about

First of three Mams #lockdown video-singles released in 2020.

‘Phenomenal fuzzy spikes everywhere... one of our undiscovered gems.'
Adam Walton, BBC Wales

'Monstrous, but in a good way.'
Richard Boon

lyrics

Stan puts on his navy overall
His job is making big things very small
He magnifies his eyes
To shrink things down to size
And the trains all run on time
In his village so sublime
For he likes to keep a little control
The modeller

Morris Men are frozen on the green
Kids in boats forever stuck midstream
The barfly caught mid sup
The Bentley bonnet up
And the trains all run on time
Past the perfect washing lines
For he likes to keep a little control
The modeller

I’d like to make a model
Make a model out of me and you
And then we could do all the little things
That I would like us to
Watch cricket on the green
Our safe bucolic dream
Where you wouldn’t scream or shout
Or then try and throw me out
Maybe you could be the bride
Of a giant in the sky?
Coz I’d like to keep a little control
The modeller
