about

This was the song that inspired the airport artwork theme of "Nothing To Declare". LHR is very much about Noor’s alter-ego business life, travelling around Europe and the Middle East, enjoying the excitement of it all but getting wearied by the relentless travel and specifically the totally soulless nature of modern airports.

lyrics

LHR Blues

Waking up Monday, my head is all bleary.
The weekend’s too blurry, to become a memory.
But that’s all behind me ‘cause I’m a “professional”,
Professional at what though, I wish they could tell me?

I know inside this ain’t too good for me,
But you’re sacrificed at the altar of the company!

LHR Monday,
BHX Tuesday,
BRS Wednesday,
And MCR Thursday.
But when it turns Friday
The body gets weary,
And it is so tempting
To turn to some drinking!

I know inside this ain’t too good for me,
But you’re sacrificed at the altar of the company!

I’m sick of the airports, human melting pot.
They herd us like cattle,
Through dispassionate screening.
I wait with the tourists’, the chavs and the suited.
They call it an Airbus, but it’s more like a sheep pen!

LHR Monday,
BHX Tuesday,
BRS Wednesday,
And MCR Thursday.
But when it turns Friday
The body gets weary,
And it is so tempting
To turn to some drinking!

I know inside this ain’t too good for me,
But you’re sacrificed at the altar of the company!

Stompin' on Spiders image

Stompin' on Spiders England, UK

Stompin' on Spiders is a musical collective formed at a Blues festival in April 2009. The band's stripped-back acoustic Blues/Rock style is individual as it is unique, blending the traditional ethos of Blues music with a very modern edge. A "new tradition" is how one music journalist described Stompin' on Spiders; "a radical mix of stripped-back blues and roots inspired by international events". ... more
