about

In March 1985 Twelfth Night recorded a set of demos including this early take on Pressure at Soundmill Studios in deepest Buckinghamshire. The results became known as the 'Keith James demos'.

Soundmill was owned and run by the band's live sound engineer, Robin Prior, however the demos were co-produced by Keith James, a musician in his own right. Quite how this came about is lost in the mists of time, but Rev, Clive & Brian did a live PA with Keith at Stringfellows in Soho one dark night.. the least said about this the better!

lyrics

Law
You live by biased rules
Law to break
Whenever you choose
Playing, only playing
Guilty! Guilty!
Judge and jury - tyranny
Sentence, sentence
Fan the flames of anarchy
It's no example, sets no example

Pressure!
We will, we will slam the door
Let go!
We will, we will
Run away

Schools who teach
But cannot learn
Learn you that soon
Fingers must burn
Growing never knowing

Silence, silence
Teacher, teacher
? in turn
Come the day the children say that
You must listen to a new direction
A new selection

Pressure!
We will, we will slam the door
Let Go!
We will, we will run away
Farther

Hurting bleeding, aching needing
For an escape
Human story, pain and glory
Nothing to do but sing these anthems
Must be an anthem

Pressure!
We will, we will slam the door
Let go!
We will, we will run away!

Pressure!
We will, we will slam the door
Let go!
We will, we will run away!
