The Shamen

The Shamen were a Scottish electronic music and psychedelic-influenced band from Aberdeen. The founding members are Colin Angus (born 24 August 1961), Derek McKenzie (born 27 February 1964) and Keith McKenzie (born 30 August 1961). Peter Stephenson (born 1 March 1962) joined shortly after to take over keyboards from Colin. Several other people were later in the band. Colin Angus then teamed up with Will Sinnott who together found credibility as pioneers of rock/dance crossover, before moving on to international commercial success when joined by Mr. C with "Ebeneezer Goode" and the Boss Drum 1992 album. more »

Morning began
And your head popped out
With your heart and your hands
It’s easy to see
Why you’d gladly shovel dirt for a fee
But where in the world 
Could a sad, sad, sadder tale be heard
It’s over your head
To be good
Why be content to be led
How you walk all up and down your street
Your head hung down, right to your feet
So take the time to carve your name
On a rocking chair, within the grain
And wait until the evening sees you there
And though the morning went too soon
You’re headed through the afternoon
So rack your brains, now
See why you should care

Miserable girl
Just the end result
Of a miserable world
You start to depend
On your longing
For the start of the end
It’s always the same
Now that life means nothing but
Hunger and pain
You’re passing away
You have nothing 
But the start of decay
How you walk all up and down your street
Your head hung down, right to your feet
So take the time to carve your name
On a rocking chair, within the grain
And wait until the evening sees you there
And though the morning went too soon
You’re headed through the afternoon
So rack your brains, now
See why you should care

I heard somebody said
You’d rather you were dead
So take the time to carve your name
On a rocking chair, within the grain
And wait until the evening sees you there
And though the morning went too soon
You’re headed through the afternoon
So rack your brains, now
See why you should care
