Graham Parker & the Rumour

The Rumour was an English rock band in the late 1970s and early 1980s. They are best known as the backup band for Graham Parker, whose early records (from 1976 to 1980) were credited to Graham Parker & The Rumour. However, The Rumour also recorded on their own, releasing three albums: Max (1977), Frogs, Sprouts, Clogs and Krauts (1979), and Purity of Essence (1980). The group broke up at the end of 1980, but reunited as Parker's backing band in 2011, and have performed and recorded with Parker ever since. The band undertook a short final UK tour in October 2015, finishing with a final concert at the London Forum on 17 October 2015. At this show, the surviving members of the horn section also reunited, for the first time in 33 years. more »

No more pretending now, the albatross is dying in it's nest c 
The company is crippling me,
The worst trying to ruin the best, the best
Their promotion's so lame
They could never ever take it to the real ball game
Maybe they think I'm a pet
Well I've got all the diseases 
I'm breaking out in sweat, you bet, because
Chorus
I got, mercury poisoning
It's fatal and it don't get better
I got, mercury poisoning bb c g bb f c g bb f
The best kept secret in the we--est, hey the we--est
The boys and me are getting real well known around town
But every time we try to spread the action
Someone always brings it down, down
I ate the orange and I don't feel well
For them it's inconvenience for me it's hell
The geriatric staff think we're freaks
They couldn't sell kebabs to the greeks, the geeks
naction speaks, and

Chorus
Bridge
Is this a russian conspiracy, no it's just idiocy
Is this a chinese burn
I gotta dinosaur for a representative
It's got a small brain and refuses to learn
Their promotion's so lame
They could never ever take it to the real ball game
Listen I ain't a pet
I ain't a token hipster, in your monopoly set g
You bet because
Chorus, plus
Yeah the best kept secret in the west the best kept secret in the west
