YAK YAK YAK

from Pedro Gordo by Ghostown

about

This is the craziest track on the album and probably the most original so probably the least favourite and probably the worst track to introduce people to Ghostown! The chorus is inspired by my time working on the phone during the lockdown which drove me crazy!
The track revolves around Pedro's obscure guitar riff which kinda reminds me of Tom Waits or the South Park intro. It then shifts in a 90's hip hop direction for the breaks in each verse, plus the final scratch break
Interesting song anyway! The video is equally weird!

lyrics

Talking on the telephone like Yak Yak Yak
Must be the pheromones, get back back back
Talking on the telephone like Yak Yak Yak
Leave me the hell alone, get back back back
Talking on the telephone like Yak Yak Yak
Must be the pheromones, get back back back
Talking on the telephone like Yak Yak Yak
Leave me the hell alone, get back back back

A drop in the ocean
Stopped in motion
Locked in commotion
Got no notion
Rock and a hard place
Rotten, a car case
Caught in a car chase
Brought in the dark days
This guy is confessing
The sky is oppressing
High and depressing
Why are you messing
Fess up you arsed up
Yousef the last sup
Trumped by the daft duck
Who gave the last fuck
Low class the cast stuck
Bar fight the glass cut
Trapped in a fast buck
Upper mid the grass cut
Stop the bus last stop
Looking like a ras cloth
Mass stock a mascot
Cash out the cash stopped

Talking on the telephone like Yak Yak Yak
Must be the pheromones, get back back back
Talking on the telephone like Yak Yak Yak
Leave me the hell alone, get back back back
Talking on the telephone like Yak Yak Yak
Must be the pheromones, get back back back
Talking on the telephone like Yak Yak Yak
Leave me the hell alone, get back back back

No vision no outlook
An outback an old crook
Outfought and out-cooked
No clarity the doubt stood
Misheard misunderstood
Underground underwood
Unknown in the neighbourhood
One clown slay they should
Over-mark overbear
Lost my mark lost my bear
A missed dart stop your staring
Filled with fear no more dare
Bank clerk stamped reject
A loan shark might accept
A lone spark start the fire
Undercover on the wire
Under blubber abstract
Who discover odds stacked
Here’s Johnny, Bob’s back
No idea brains racked
Rack your brain no idea
Staying sane stem the fear
Friends close enemies near
Not knowing how to steer

Talking on the telephone like Yak Yak Yak
Must be the pheromones, get back back back
Talking on the telephone like Yak Yak Yak
Leave me the hell alone, get back back back
Talking on the telephone like Yak Yak Yak
Must be the pheromones, get back back back
Talking on the telephone like Yak Yak Yak
Leave me the hell alone, get back back back
