about

My tribute to the great British post-punk admonishments of the late '70s and early '80s. See if you can find all the song titles, mate.

lyrics

Get it in gear, ya gotta get it in gear, mate
Get it in gear, ya gotta get it in gear, mate
Get out of here, get out of here, mate!
It’s a brand new year, mate!

Death relaxes, pays no taxes
Has no worries, never hurries
Flies and lands and falls and splinters
Has no worry of losing its center
You see?
Gotta get in gear, gotta get it in gear, mate.

Know your rights
Bring on the night
Hands off, she’s mine
Twist and crawl
Enjoy yourself
Do the dog
It’s up to you
Return the gift
Start to move
Get happy
Stay free
Girls talk
Gotta be cruel to be kind
And so we say:

Get it in gear, ya gotta get it in gear, mate
Get it in gear, ya gotta get it in gear, mate
Get out of here, get out of here, mate!
It’s a brand new year, mate!

Look here
Look sharp
Throw it away
Present arms
Practice makes perfect
Don’t let it pass you by
Lose this skin, let’s go crazy, get that girl
You can read me the riot act.

Ya gotta get it in gear, mate

Stoney Spring Los Angeles, California

Featuring the founding members of acclaimed alt-country band I SEE HAWKS IN L.A., Stoney Spring still has one toe in American roots music. But songs like Revenge Rock, New Blood and Swimming Class bring to mind a bold hybrid of Captain Beefheart and mid-'70s Neil Young.
The driving force behind Stoney Spring is Anthony Lacques, the Hawks' original drummer and still one of its songwriters.
