Vindictive rocker with a big riff and a Hammond solo

Artist picture
Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Story behind the song
This is a song about gloating. Gloating is unpleasant, unnecessary, petty and childish. It's also great fun and deeply satisfying. Everyone loves being horrible. And it's such a great word too - gloat gloat gloat Ahem, sorry got carried away there.
Lyrics
Take your time If you must play out this sad pantomime Make up your mind You're still smiling But the pleasure's all mine So you're coming to your senses Which I thought was no bad thing But you cling to your pretences Seems this tale's got a sharper sting I've never been right You've never been wrong I've never been counted all along You've never been lost I've never been won So tell me, now your world fell down, Did I miss something? Let's talk sense I know attack is your best form of defence Cut the suspense Quit fooling round Cos I know how this ends Is it my imagination Or can you still not accept you've lost? This is hopeless desperation To carry on despite the cost I've never been right You've never been wrong I've never been counted all along You've never been lost I've never been won So tell me, now your world fell down, Did I miss something? Is it me?

This is a top shelf rocker Steve! Very well written. Loved the lyrics and the arrangement. The power and glory of it all are superb. Rock solid vox. The charts on this site are a mystery. This should have been an EASY top ten. Killer tones and riffage. Excellent song!
