[Verse 1]
Blind soundman from Netherlands
He knew not what band he mixed
They sounded a bit like the Zephyr
And a bit like the Jicks
He craned his neck over the desk
Waiting for something to ride
And you weren't there to feed him air
The second that moment arrived
[Chorus]
1% of one, 1%
1% of one, 1% of one is
1% of is one, 1%
1% of one, 1% of one is one
[Verse 2]
The band became a picture frame
Surrounding the vision he dreamt
Of walls a-walking 'round in squares

And the halls were walking tall
[Chorus]
1% of one, 1%
1% of one, 1% of one is
1% of is one, 1%
1% of one, 1% of one is
1% of one, 1%
1% of one is
1% of is one, 1%
1%
[Guitar Solos]
[Chorus]
1% of one, 1%

1% of one, 1%
1% of one is
1% of is one, 1%
1% of one is
1% of one, 1% of one
1% of one, 1% of one
1% of one, 1% of one
1% of one, 1% of one
1% of one, 1% of one
1% of one, 1% of one
1% of one, 1% of one
1% of one, 1% of one

I was into some meandering British folk things — Mellow Candle, Fairport Convention — so I wanted to write my version of that. The lyrics are kind of stupid. They’re about a soundman listening to this band playing, and he’s getting blown away. Maybe he’s stoned. He trips out, and the song goes off i...
