PBGB On a Roll with "Wood U Like Chips With That?"

PBGB recorded this in 2010. We'd written it for a gig we did for a local conservation group, and played it live once. We forgot about it soon after recording it as we changed personnel and the gig was over. This is the second studio recording we did at the time and features Chris Ralfs on bass, Gus Washbourne on guitar, Peter Reid on drums and me on vocals, guitars, keyboards and production.

I accidentally stumbled across it on an old hard drive and decided to rejuvenate it a bit and set it free. As it turns out, I didn't have to do much to it, just a tweak or two in Ozone 5 really.

I'm really pleased we found this, as it is from a very creative period in the PBGB Shed when we were trying out some pretty "out there" things - definitely the "golden age" of PBGB from my point of view.

Enjoy :)

Wood U Like Chips With That? 

©2010 Peter Reid/Neil Porter 

There’s protest in the forest 

Two different points of view you 

see 

One on the side of nature 

One on the economy 

There are those that see the 

forests 

As revenue, that’s that 

There’s those that see the trees as 

crucial habitat 

Some people protest 

They know just what it’s worth 

They put their bodies on the line 

To save the lungs of the universe 

They know their grandkids 

Need the forests and the trees 

Koalas in the treetops 

Let’s protect the air we breathe 

What do we want? 

When do we want it? 

Hands off our future 

We want it now 

What do we want? When do we 

want it? 

Do it now! 

SOLO x 2 verses (16 bars) 

What do we want? 

When do we want it? 

Hands off our future 

We want it now 

What do we want? When do we 

want it? 

Do it now! 

We can’t all join the protest 

But we can back the people who 

were there 

We can help to pay the fines 

We can show them that we care 

The forests are for everyone 

They belong to us all 

The trees hold our future 

Let’s not see them fall 

There’s protest in the forest 

Two different points of view you 

see 

One on the side of nature 

One on the economy 

There are those that see the 

forests 

As revenue, that’s that 

There’s those that see the trees as 

crucial habitat 

What do we want? 

When do we want it? 

Hands off our future 

We want it now 

What do we want? When do we 

want it? 

Do it now!
