This week saw Hug A Drummer Day - and why should we hug a drummer? Here to shed some light on the matter is MLY with The Drummer: The lead guitar is soloing The fans call out his name The vocalist is crowd surfing Supported by his thoughts of fame The bass player is showboating And flouncing round the stage Focusing base fantasy On women half his age But see the humble drummer He perches on his thrown Imprisoned like a zoo creature As he keeps the beat alone His pumping wrists, his piston limbs All bathed in smoke and coloured lights His sex face and commanding eyes Cannot disguised his looming plight The singer takes the encore In a mincing Alfa camp He shades his giant ego Neath a kilowatt of tungsten lamp The lead guitar salutes the room And makes messianic sign The bass unplugs and cracks a can And instantly it’s party time Whilst visions blur and tales are spun On whiskey spattered lager floor And small time rock gods live in hope What goes on tour might stay on tour But somewhere in the hinterland Beyond the cider plastic sea Somewhere inside the waking world There dwells the hand that turns the key God bless the humble drummer He’s far the better man He’s doing what the drummer does He’s loading up the van
