about

It's a true story. Was living in Oxford. Saw a film that made me realise that the power was not so much with government but with the big corporations. Tried writing a song about it but couldn't until I got banned from Tesco's for no reason and all that followed.

lyrics

Who’s your favourite corporation? Mine is PG Tips.
It’s better to buy tea in a fair trade way,
but if I had to pick just one corporation to stay, it would be, PG.
I got banned from Tesco’s the other day.
I was trying to take a photograph for an exhibition at the Vaults cafe.
When the bouncer threw me out all aggressive and crazy,
I haven’t been back in 9 months since then, see,
I’ve found shopping so much better on the Cowley road without those fuckers.
Now I don’t have to wait. And I don’t have to queue.
And I get a friendly face when I but my food and it’s cheaper,
You don’t belive me but it’s true it’s cheaper,
They fooled you, well they fooled me too.
So who’s your favourite corporation? Please don’t say Tesco’s
‘Cause I hate those fuckers with all of my heart and I hope that they die
And I hope that they rot. I hate Tesco’s.

Sat down by the side of the river waiting for the sunshine to deliver some words
I wanna sing a song about the corporation, how the power of the people can stop this irritation. If they don’t itch it it will go away. ‘Cause you don’t have to buy every thing that you’re sold. Don’t have to believe all the shit that you’re told.
So who’s your favourite corporation? Well they could all just die.
Lets bury them alive let the little ones/shops survive, human spirit be revived.
It’s always the big fish, eat all the small fish. I can see how it works in the sea
But between you and me. Have a billion years of evoution not moved
consciousness along just a little bit. We’re still living in the rules of the ocean.

Neil Nayar London, UK

I'm just one of those people who always finds myself in crazy situations in love and in life. I'm not sure if it's good for my sanity, but it does make for fun and interesting songs.

I came to Malawi in 2012 with a one-way ticket, a guitar and no money, carrying on from the hobo life I'd lived that year busking on the streets of Holland and Spain.

It's all in the stories ... more
