  • Critical Error: Golden Wings
    Golden Wings by Critical Error.
    Album: Critical Error.
    GOLDEN WINGS
    Don't think that you can bring this angel down to earth
    Her wings will tear away your chains
    The song of freedom is so strong she breaks away
    When she chooses she can fly on golden wings
    When she needs to she can fly on golden wings
    Don't think that you can keep this angel when she falls
    Her life will take her to the blue
    Her wings can reach much further than a lover's eyes
    When she chooses she can fly on golden wings
    When she needs to she can fly on golden wings
    Her golden, her golden wings
    Her golden, her golden wings
    Where your eyes cannot follow
    Her home is far away, so far away
    Far away, so far away
    Where angels fly on golden wings
    Don't think that you can offer love without a risk
    She leads you, follow if you dare
    Her wings can reach so far beyond the sea or sky
    Where angels fly on golden wings
    Where angels fly on golden wings
    Where angels fly on golden wings

  • Critical Error: The Wine
    The Wine by Critical Error.
    Album: Critical Error.
    The Wine is a cover of a song by The Chillun.
    The Chillun's version is here: https://soundcloud.com/wud-records/chillun-the-wine?in=wud-records/sets/the-chillun-the-chillun
    THE WINE
    Who's that sitting at the end of the bar
    Pouring his drinks from an earthenware jar
    What did you expect for this time of day
    You buy him a drink and he'll go away
    He's an all time loser that they taught to sing
    Trouble and pain was all he could bring
    He sits there drinking by the telephone
    He can't get strength to go home alone
    Cos the phone keeps ringing and there's no-one there
    It's just a dirty trick to get him out of his chair
    He dreams one day at the end of the line
    A voice will say:
    "Come taste the wine."
    Sweet success looked him in the face
    He said you're good but to win this race
    You got to be mean enough to make you rich
    Forget lady luck, she's a filthy bitch
    And how, and how?
    So our little boy singer with the sweet silver voice
    Said to the man, "That's a hell of a choice.
    What about fun and all the good times?"
    "Forget about the rest, I want to taste the wine!"
    Cos the phone keeps ringing and there's no-one there
    It's just a dirty trick to get him out of his chair
    He dreams one day at the end of the line
    A voice will say:
    "Come taste the wine."
    I don't know what you thinking but it seems to be so plain
    That you're not prepared to tell us all of things that seem so strange
    The wine is there for taking by anyone who dares
    But the the one who drinks the deepest is the one with smallest cares
    Come taste the wine, the wine, come taste the wine
    I need the wine
    Whose that sitting at the end of the bar
    Pouring his drinks from an earthenware jar
    What did you expect for this time of day
    You buy him a drink and he'll go away
    He's an all time loser that they taught to sing
    Trouble and pain was all he could bring
    He sits there drinking by the telephone
    He can't get strength to go home alone
    Cos the phone keeps ringing and there's no-one there
    It's just a dirty trick to get him out of his chair
    He dreams one day at the end of the line
    A voice will say:
    "Come taste the wine."

  • Critical Error: Lady Fuchsia
    Lady Fuchsia by Critical Error.
    Album: Critical Error.
    inspired by Mervyn Peake's 'Gormenghast'.
    LADY FUSCHIA
    Oh Lady Fuchsia, where have you been?
    Out in the woods
    Out in the wind
    Away from here, away from here
    Hair as black as midnight, crimson your robe
    Back in your empty room
    You find the blood red rose
    What keeps you here, is it love or fear?
    What keeps you here, is it love or fear?
    Now she lies as cold as ancient stone
    Her mother says goodnight to a child that sleeps alone
    In darkness, in darkness, in darkness
    Lost in the ritual, sealed in a living tomb
    The stranger preys upon you
    Haunts your secret room
    With cold desire, his face is fire
    With cold desire, his face is fire
    Your father's books are burning
    Madness in his eyes
    Gaining love and losing love
    The water's rise
    The storm is here, the end is near
    The storm is here, the end is near
    Now the flood has reached her window ledge
    She takes a step too far, the water drowns her easily.
    Takes her life, takes her breath
    It takes her life, brings her death
    Takes her life
    Now she lies as cold as ancient stone
    Her mother says goodnight to a child that sleeps alone
    In darkness and in death
    In darkness and in death
    In darkness and in death
    In darkness and in death
    Words and music by Steve Mavin / Rosie Mullin.

  • Band of Georges: Turn with the Tide
    Turn with the Tide by George.
    From Volume VI Side A of the Band of Georges.
    Music and lyrics by G. Davies
    Composed 19th/20th/21st July 1985.
    Recorded November 1986.
    Mixed April 1987.
    Lifted from cassette May 2025.
    Copyright © 1985 Explicit Music.
    Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
    Fun Facts:
    Turn with the Tide is something of an epic song in E minor.
    There are different feels to its various sections.
    The last verse was written after George witnessed a horrible violent incident near his home.
    That verse was probably written after most of the rest of the song was finished.
    Turn with the Tide was briefly attempted by The Masters of Drone.
    Unfortunately the location of the one-beat at the start remained mysterious to the other musicians.

  • Band of Georges: How Does It Make You Feel?
    How Does It Make You Feel? by George.
    From Volume VI Side A of the Band of Georges.
    Music and lyrics by G. Davies
    Composed circa 15th October 1985.
    Recorded November 1986.
    Mixed April 1987.
    Lifted from cassette May 2025.
    Copyright © 1985 Explicit Music.
    Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
    Fun Facts:
    This is a song in several parts with several different feels.
    How Does It Make You Feel? was never performed live by a band.
    It was slated for an outing with The Masters of Drone, but the band didn't last long enough.
    This song was composed during the early days of Laughing Sun.
    How Does It Make You Feel? was composed to commemorate several emotionally intense events.
    It is possible it has never been heard before.

  • Band of Georges: Walking Over That Same Old Stony Ground
    Walking Over That Same Old Stony Ground by George.
    From Volume VI Side B of the Band of Georges.
    Music and lyrics by G. Davies
    Composed 17th December 1985, 04:45 - 05:23am.
    Recorded November 1986.
    Mixed April 1987.
    Lifted from cassette May 2025.
    Copyright © 1985 Explicit Music.
    Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
    Fun Facts:
    Walking Over That Same Old Stony Ground was a late addition to The Concept Album.
    The Concept Album was originally conceived in the spring and summer of 1983.
    Much of the music for that album was composed in 1983, although not many of the songs were actually finished at that time.
    George's girlfriend at this time, who was a fan of his musical compositions but not his lyrics, said that this song was a "much needed level-up" in lyric writing.
    There is a different Ug Brothers version of this song on their Live in Session 20.11.1986 album.
    This recording features Marc Greatorex on bass and Graham Barbe on drums.
    This is a recording of The Ug Brothers.
    That band first formed and then disbanded around the end of 1986.
    They reformed, with some success, in 1994.

  • Band of Georges: Lullaby
    Lullaby by George.
    From Volume VI Side B of the Band of Georges.
    Music and lyrics by G. Davies
    Composed 11th November 1985.
    Recorded November 1986.
    Mixed April 1987.
    Lifted from cassette May 2025.
    Copyright © 1985 Explicit Music.
    Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
    Fun Facts:
    Lullaby is an extraordinary and unique piece of music composed for electric guitar with a whammy bar.
    George wrote this song on 11th November 1985, the fourth anniversary of the day when he first picked up a guitar and wondered how it worked.
    The inspiration for this song was a foraging trip on the Blackdown Hills in devon, and what happened afterwards.
    All of the music came quite rapidly and the whole piece was composed in a very short time.
    There are some highly esoteric and unusually voiced chords in this.
    Lullaby was never performed by a band.
    Despite that, the song was very popular amongst George's friends after he had written it.

  • Band of Georges: Epilogue
    Epilogue by George.
    From Volume VI Side A of the Band of Georges.
    Music and lyrics by G. Davies
    Composed 18th September 1985.
    Recorded November 1986.
    Mixed April 1987.
    Lifted from cassette May 2025.
    Copyright © 1985 Explicit Music.
    Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
    Fun Facts:
    Epilogue is a post-breakup song.
    It concerned a long-term relationship that had ended messily a few months earlier.
    The protagonist still wanted to cause troubles months, even years, afterwards.
    This was written around the time that Wud (the band) had ended and Laughing Sun was beginning.
    For such a potentially heavy, hard rock song it features a surprise acoustic guitar.
    It was never performed by a band.

  • Band of Georges: It's Just a Game
    It's Just a Game by George.
    From Volume VI Side A of the Band of Georges.
    Music and lyrics by G. Davies
    Composed 18th October 1985, finished 04:04am.
    Recorded November 1986.
    Mixed April 1987.
    Lifted from cassette May 2025.
    Copyright © 1985 Explicit Music.
    Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
    Fun Facts:
    It's Just a Game was written during the days of Laughing Sun.
    An extremely odd situation was starting to unfold.
    This went way beyond the normal entropy which followed the closing of a cycle of good fortune.
    It's Just a Game is a song of esoteric chords and key changes.
    Some of these chords went on to form the basis of the song Lullaby, which came later.
    The Electric Mistress is set to the 'red' setting, as used for the song Planets.
