The Humdrum Express - Motivational Wall Art (official video)

Показать описание

Motivational Wall Art is the opening track from the Humdrum Express album, Ultracrepidarian Soup.
Thank you so much to our supremely talented cast, who very kindly agreed to head back to the classroom. Perhaps it was more than an eerie coincidence that it was filmed on one of the hottest days of the year…

Video directed by Nick J. Townsend (NJT Media)
Audio produced by Mick Lown
Written by Ian Passey; featuring the additional virtuoso musical talents of Carl Bayliss, Andrew Boswell, Chris Taylor-Ashcroft and Ted Cartwright.

Finally, thanks to Offmore Primary School who generously allowed us to use their facilities; and to Will and Arthur for superbly taking on the role of teachers.

Coffee and cake culture, new vape flavours
Waistcoat Wednesday, competitive savers
Black Friday, white noise
Ignoring Blue Planet, watching Mrs Brown’s Boys

And sales are booming of motivational wall art

The gift of the gab, no listening attribute
Practising a power stance in a Teflon suit
The mediocre with mass YouTube subscribers
What’s for tea? Microwaved microfibres

And sales are booming of motivational wall art

Transfer deadline failings fuel abusive chants
Resting on laurels, tending hardy plants
We’re all innocent ‘til rumours are rife
And the views of singers I once liked say nothing to me about my life

Political U-turns, a tactical false nine
Trends for big eyebrows will be frowned upon in time
Diverting tactics, feigning surprise
Ultracrepidarians are on the rise

And sales are booming, of motivational wall art

Under false impressions, we’re unnerved
Another minute’s silence impeccably observed
A celebratory tattoo so it won’t be forgotten
The battle of the egos… from the top to the bottom

Gig goers watch through hand held devices
Can’t afford a drink at sponsored venue prices
Uneven paving, irate shoppers
Night club toilet selfies, patriotic litter droppers
Coming in to bowl, the spin master’s misinforming
That an ice bucket challenge could help end global warming
Cigars for fast food chain tycoons
Golden handshakes for silver spoons
The ref’s looked at his watch, full time’s closing in
He’s got two single use razors for his double chin
Low expectation in high demand
Polluted beaches, heads in the sand

And sales are booming, of motivational wall art
