stephen pastel, gavin thomson & the pastels - chinese moon lyrics

i knew them all in my time
i knew memorial device
i went to the shows
i was into old airdrie groups
we had a team, we grew up together
and we used to go to all of the gigs

but it all changed when we discovered psychedelics
and after that it was inevitable that we’d form a band
we hit on this idea, right?
duncan’s dad had an endless supply of mannequins
that he used in the windows of his store on baillieston road
so we decided to make tapes, right?
and then we’d organize this show
where we’d dress the mannequins as us, you know, like schoolboys, basically
but looking like rockstars, all the instruments and with wigs on
and then we’d play these tapes behind them like it was a gig

we came up with a name
first it was shooting gallery
then it was credible ring
and then chinese moon
we rang up some pubs, got the names of some clubs but
whenever we tried to explain what we were trying to do
they would hang up or refuse or come up with some bullsh_t excuse
thought there was only one option
we said to duncan
“can you ask your dad to set up a window display?”
then we would dress the mannequins
play the tapes behind them
and there would be like a musical window in shettleston
it was like an instalation
but like a gig as well
even though we could actually go and see it for ourselves
although it only lasted a week
and to be honest with you, we never thought of anything past that
it generated a lot of interest
people started to get in touch
inquiring inside the store
which is part of the reason why it shut down, i believe, too many crazies got their number
but we got letters
letters from artists obsessed with body parts
a dominatrix
a professor studying robotics at coatbridge college
lonely cb radio hams
but the letter that was the most interesting
was from lucas black from memorial device
