Whilst I was at university I met Shirl Block and Nelson <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And together we created Mellow Yellow <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which was sometimes known as Yellow M <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a punkish group very much on the tails of the genre <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And to out great surprise we became rather popular <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Possibly it was down to Shirl wearing a red swastika armband <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whilst she was performing semi topless on stage <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was good whilst it lasted but we all knew that it would fade <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which it did when Block returned to the United States <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We faded into a part obscurity <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shirl became a teacher at a school in Rome <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I became an edgy journalist with a trendy magazine<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My KKK were much admired and commented on <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That was many years ago and we are now enjoying our new lives <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was reminded of our musical past when the black and white video <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which we created for the B Side of Sporting Hero <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Was shown on the Retro Channel a few days ago <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It featured Shirl and I shooting up in a squalid squat <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We were both wearing black underwear <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My underpants were incredibly gross and repulsive <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shirl looked even more worn<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rather like a victim of a death camp <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that is where the song worked <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I mixed her operatically trained voice <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the animal growls of Block and myself <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Danny G made the video which was a 4 austere <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I liked how it ended it still works very well <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a knock at the door and Shirl answers it <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our dealer Nelson hands her a polythene bag <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He looks down and it suggested <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That he is lusting after her partially covered arse <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But he is not as he lifts her needle marked arm <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And gently shakes his bulldog head <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The simplicity of this image screams at you <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even after all this time
