We are already talking about the meaning of "Good on you son" as with the lyrics is easier to do, but with the titles maybe we can dig something before:
1.Trapper Man
I found that trapper has a meaning similar than drug dealer, maybe it's something metaphoric...
2.Back On The Dance Floor
3.Nobody’s Child
4.Just A Boy Away From Home
We know this talks about a Liverpool guy that lives in Newcastle, and is a Liverpool FC supporter and miss his city
5.When You Leave
6.Good On You Son
About director Robert Day? Apparently about a British that grew up in a poor enviroment and ends in LA being succesful
7.My Bacon Roll
8.Nobody Does That
9.Drovers’ Road
According to wikipedia, a Drover's road is " is a route for droving livestock on foot from one place to another, such as to market or between summer and winter pasture (see transhumance). Many drovers' roads were ancient routes of unknown age; others are known to date back to medieval or more recent times"
10.One Song At A Time
MK mentions that comes from someone Chet Atkins said to him, like he got to be succesful one song at a time, little by little
11.Floating Away
12.Slow Learner
13.Heavy Up
14.Matchstick Man
Someone who pretend to be something he is not? A pretender?
15.Every Heart In The Room
16.Rear View Mirror
17.Don’t Suck Me In
18.Sky And Water
19.Pale Imitation
*********************************************************
There is apparently one song about is DS days, acoording to the interview.
-
I love such considerations. The tracks are long and I'm happy. Probably Mark wrote a lot.
-
16 - Rear View Mirror:
Maybe a song on one of Mark's favorite subject: car races.
We know he has participated to Le Mans classic race and he already made several songs on this subject:
- Speedway At Nazareth
- The Car Was The One
- Border Reiver (about truck)

Since Tracker we had one single thread for every song with the lyrics in the first post to discuss etc.,for example see the Long Cool Girl Thread from this morning. I would suggest to repeat that with the new album as it is very well structured?

Yes, agree. It's quite a lot of work so i don't know yet when we can fix it.

“But Down The Road Wherever seems to be appropriate for me, just because it’s what I’ve always done. I’ve always tried to make a record and also to keep my own geography happening in the songs.”
I think this sentence is the key. There will be many autobiographical songs

LE
Yes, but we can do that when the record is released and we have the lyrics.
This one is just to guess about it and it can be taken as a start for the future threads for each song.
Don't you think?

19.Pale Imitation
Is it again about tribute bands like in "Terminal of Tribute To" ?

Yes if course.

With that description in mind, Drover's Road should sound like a cross-over between Border Reiver and Yon Two Crows, which would be great.

14.Matchstick Man
Someone who pretend to be something he is not? A pretender?
With absolutely no basis for this, I am going to guess this one is about Donald Trump. Kind of like "Don't Crash the Ambulance" was about the Bushes.

I can not stop thinking which song refers to DS to Deptford.

Its done ;)

Wow, that was fast! Phantastic, thank you very much for the good work :thumbsup, in this case and in general. Very appreciated!

I asked Guy which song is the one about Deptford days and he didn't answered...
I think that it might be "one song at a time" because of the reference he did to Chet Atkins saying he left poverty one song at a time, which is what MK did from starving on first DS days to success... One song at a time ...
What do you think?
-
It makes sense. And the hidden title of the album.
-
I wonder what's with the "shake your moneymaker" phrase appearing in first two songs on the album? ???
I get the phrase alone :lol but, beside being repeated as part of the chorus in BotDF; it's in the Trapper Man as well. :hmm :think

Don't forget, there was a version of this before, in Sucker Row, "Shake it up sell some beer What's your money maker for?"
