From his 2003 solo album "Do Not Bend".
Quote:" Do The Books is my protest song about the greed that goes on in Big Business all round the world. It's also a personal story involving close friends who were nearly made bankrupt by one of these big Engulf and Devour type companies. Fortunately they beat the bad guys in court and the story has a very happy and financially rewarding ending."

  • @TWENTIETHCENTURYBABY Lol. Me too now you mention it.

  • @Gordomusic1 I remember someone asking him why do not bend was called do not bend when there was no song on it called do not bend. He said well I might just put a song called do not bend on the next album. Will have to listen to that then.

  • @TWENTIETHCENTURYBABY Hi again. i definitely prefer it to Do Not Bend, although it has a song called Do Not Bend - just to confuse things...lol. Its got an absolute cracker on it called Down at the Palace. as long as ou aren't a monarchist :-) . Some other very good tracks. Its not as good as a classic 10CC album, but its still very good. I like it a lot. Check out the Gnomes demo on here and then do yourself a favour.

    Cheers from Gordo.

  • @Gordomusic1 No I didn't get Viva la difference, is it good?

  • @TWENTIETHCENTURYBABY Hi Jackie. Didin't know you were a 10CC fan too. I like this album.,although like you, it took a while to get used to. Did you get Eric's Viva La Difference album that came out after this one?

  • Took me a while to get into the album this song is off. This however was one track that hit me straight away. Now I love the album, especially "Sleeping with the Ghosts".

  • @paisleygerry I agree that the instruments have a similar sound to them, but I think that the melody here is completely different. Plus there is a biting cynicism in this song whereas that old 10CC song is just full of the joy of life.

  • Let's buy an old car...we'll crash in a hut etc ....this song is almost the same that he did with 10cc years ago plus he sounds more like Graham Gouldman on here than Graham himself could.

  • Hey Its spelled Erik not Eric.....

  • (Vive La Difference is great!) I like this song. It's got a lot of energy.
