49. ‘Pressure On Julian’
On 'Modern Life Is Rubbish'. Produced by Stephen
Street. Also b-side of 'Chemical World', one of two-part CD. Live
version recorded Glastonbury June 1992.
A song with a long pre-recorded history. Damon liked
to taunt Balfe with lyrical (and musical) references to Julian Cope
because "It drove him bananas". Written around September 1991 and demoed
at Matrix in January, 'Pressure' was played every night on the
Rollercoaster tour of spring '92 (see 26,
35, 39).
The middle segment should last twice as long but this slipped Dave's
mind when recording, and this version was deemed good enough. At a photo
shoot for Melody Maker near St Pancras, graffiti was espied that read: 'Magical
Transit Children'. This was incorporated into the lyric.
