  • Limited Edition Compact Disc
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Whilst tidying up and sorting through all the old merch stocks, we inadvertantly came across these last two remaining copies of 'A Few Drops More'. This limited edition CD received a single print run of approximately 500 copies only which were numbered and signed.

    What marks these two copies out as particularly rare and unique, however, is that they have not been numbered and signed and must therefore be part of a very small number of copies that were printed slightly over the 1000 run.

    Includes unlimited streaming of A Few Drops More (Demos & Rarities 1985-96) via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

SEE THE WHIPPET RUN

I was born and bred into a race of skill
It's the drug that gives me speed and thrills
With a never ceasing heat in my heart and brain
To give me the power of a speeding train

See the whippet run
Watch it leap the highest hurdles
Run rabbit run
Keep on heading down that track
See the whippet run
As it hurtles to the finish line
Racing past your train and never looking back

There's many a pleasure and delight
In being the victor through another man's plight
I can see the gold at the rainbow's end
So carry me up as the gods descend

This race has led me to grief and woe
And brought me to arms against friend and foe
Yet the fire still burns as bright as before
I can win this race and a thousand more

(lyrics: Gary Miller / music: Glenn Miller)
