Chords for Matt Berry talks obscure British records with Pete Paphides

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ My mum got me the complete Mike Oldfield _ _ and from that and on that were [C] excerpts
from Tubular Bells [Bm] and all the sort of concept, you know, [F] long pieces.
And I
couldn't believe what I was hearing when I heard those and thought right [Em] now I
need [G] the album.
So I _ [F] saved up and got second-hand copies of Tubular Bells,
[C] obviously first, and that [G] was it.
I thought [Dm] I've heard everything. _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
Look at it unlocking [E] you.
Because it [Dbm] sounded like chaos and it [E] sounded, I [Gb] _
don't know, I [B] mean
like when you know, [E] you know, the conditions, you know, of how it was recording
and what he, you know, in the state he was in, you know, the kind of mental
illness of it [D] really comes, you know, shines through.
[A] And I didn't really know
what he looked like when I bought that.
There's no picture of him.
[E] So to hear
this chaos and this [Bm] unease [E] and discordance and mental illness, if you
like, coming through _ _ [B] _ something [Bm] really grabbed hold of me.
[B] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ [A] So Kate Bush is a big artist for you?
Yeah, [Cm] _ yeah, the first three albums.
I mean it's
like most people, the _ _ _ _ first_
But she, I get, there is a kind of sort of emerging
aesthetic I think which kind of links a lot of what you like.
[C] It's very
kind of, yeah, it's very sort of, you know, very kind of British.
I mean I suppose I
[Cm] am, you know, that's the thing.
Yeah, you're right, and sort [Eb] of, you know,
slightly fantasy, _ woodland, [Cm] folky, psyche, pastoral sort of, all that, all those,
all those would always be, those would all be kind of hashtagged words if we
were sort of trying to_
Yeah, that seems to be what people say.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [N] _ Well, I'm intrigued.
Dennis Waterman.
Yeah, it's just, I put that out for you
because it's like, you know that thing in a record shop where you can't, you can't
leave it there?
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
Oh God, yeah, yeah.
So I uncovered that and
couldn't leave it there.
_ I was intrigued, obviously.
So, is it a good record?
Do you know, it's not bad.
I mean, like, if you like, _ you know, how Dennis Waterman sings, I mean, I kind of do.
I like that sort of pub rock.
Of its time, yeah.
There's a certain kind of version of England _ encapsulated.
Yeah.
Well, we got to have, let's get a bit, have a bit of his version of Stuck in the Middle With You.
This is [D] great.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gbm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ So this [G] is the kind of thing I would definitely buy in [D] a record shop.
Yeah.
Why do you think
people like us [Gbm] buy records like this?
Well, you know, [G] nostalgia, obviously, but like,
they had [Gbm] really good sort of folk players and [G] things in those times.
There's a song
[Am] called Bang on a Drum, which [G] I think you're going to play.
Yeah.
They sound great, you
know, they're like, you know, kind of hidden gems.
It's, you know, it's what Johnny Trunk
does all [D] the time, isn't it?
Find these things.
[B] _ _ _ _ And [E] the world will admire you.
You come [F] across things in the _ _ _ record shop and kind of have to leave with it.
_ Who is it?
It's some, like, pub singer.
Oh, so this is like a private pressing.
Yeah.
That I found
in a _ charity shop.
Brian Royal.
That's why it's called A Royal Occasion.
Yeah. _ _ _ _
_ _ Brian
Royal.
You should play that actually, because it is very funny.
This is conceived like a
character that could pop up, if not, _ _ if not in your show, then maybe in House of Fools. _ _ _
[C] Do you remember where you bought this?
It would have been in a Sue Ryder, I think, _ _ _ [G] or
[C] an Oxfam. _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] So you can hear his, like, East London accent.
[C] Lose in the air, _ every sight and every sound.
_ _ _ [F] _ [G] And I don't know if I'm [F] being foolish.
_ [G] Don't
know if I'm [Am] being wise.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
[G] _ Imagine the whole back story for this guy.
This man is clearly
a tyrant.
Yeah, he's [N] despicable. _
_ _ _ Well, this is quite interesting because a bloke at school
nicked it from Bedford Library, gave it to me because he thought that I would, you know,
it would be up my street, which then made me the thief.
_ _ And I'm still the thief of that
record from [G] _ Bedford Library.
I'm going to put Some Mothers Do Other Man, I think.
Yeah,
that's a good one.
And you're specifically a bit of a fan of the person who wrote it,
aren't you?
Well, yeah, I'm a big Ronnie Hazlehurst fan, yeah. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
This is a folk rock supergroup
comprised of _ Barry Dransfield, the violinist.
I think people still have a thing about Morris
dancers, which is, might keep its value down, which is disappointing.
But the humour's in the
title of this as well, isn't it?
I mean, Morris on.
_ _ And there's Morris on too.
Indeed. _ _ _ _ _
_ Barry
Dransfield [C] dressed as a woman.
Yeah.
A molly, I think that might be a molly dancer.
_ _ [Eb] Yeah, it is, yeah.
