    Leicester England's Diesel Park West has been cranking out stellar, topical rock'n'roll since their debut, Shakespeare Alabama, from 1989. The band's latest effort, Not Quite the American Dream, was made during the lockdown of 2020 and explores more thought provoking avenues all put to sturdy rhythms and hung on superb melodies. "Secondary Modern Man" is the best song Kinks song Ray Davies never wrote and "Best of You" could quite possibly make Paul Weller bristle with jealousy. If you are at all interested in classic British rock'n'roll with a little bit of social commentary thrown in the mix, this is the record for YOU.

about

John Butler: Edging into personal territory now although there is still a universal ambiguity there. The whole trip they have together is something he can't just give away and end up regretting as he may well have done on numerous occasions previously.

lyrics

I’ve got a woman I can spend my time with most of the day
most of the day
I know someone I can spend my head with all day
Yeah, most of the day

When she get here
I don’t feel frightened
I don’t feel hungry
I feel enlightened
I feel ok
Not the least uptight
And every day
Ain't just survival

Oh oh can’t just give it away
Oh oh can’t just give it away
I’ll regret it if I did some day

I got a woman I can roll the dice with all day
All day
I got a woman I can spin the wheel with
All ways all ways

When she get here I don’t feel frightened
I don’t feel hungry
I feel enlightened
I feel ok
Not the least uptight
And every day
Aint just survival

Ah oh can’t just give it away
Ah oh can’t just give it away
Ah huh can’t just give it away
I’ll regret it if I did some day

I know someone I can fly like a bird with all day
Yeah all day
I know someone to celebrate with most of the day
Yeah, all of the day

When she get here
I don’t feel frightened
I feel ok
Not the least uptight
I don’t feel married
I got no rival
And every day ain't just survival

Ah oh can’t just give it away
I’ll regret it if I did some day
I’ll regret it if I did some day
Ah oh can’t just give it away
I’ll regret it if I did some day

I’ve got a woman I’ve found my song with
most of the day
