Artist picture
Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Story behind the song
Not based on true events, your Honour, just having lyrical fun. This also features the Vox organ guitar including the solo which, despite the glitches and burps sounds pretty good to my ears.
Lyrics
Let me go, let me go To the fires down below For the shores of the Elysian sea Hold no resting place for me Now the reckoning time has come For the things that I have done And the miseries I have wrought Return to hurt me Oh, my dear demons You have served me well Keeping me off the straight and narrow And on the crooked road to Hell Making lots of lovely money Which turned out just as well Because the lifestyles of the wicked Don't come cheaply I've lived a life of infamy, The serpent by my side Evil was my mistress Iniquity my bride Could I have been a viler villain? That's for the jury to decide But I don't expect they'd ever care To meet me Let me go, let me go To the fires down below For the shores of the Elysian sea Hold no resting place for me Now the reckoning time has come For the things that I have done And the miseries I have wrought Return to hurt me And if I did it all again What could I improve? I loved every dirty deal I did Every underhanded move And heartless schemes so devilish clever Old Nick himself would approve Though they do say greedy prey Make easy quarry I've scammed and I have swindled Embezzled and I've lied Even stolen the identities Of people who have died And darker deeds I dare not mention And many worse beside But the one thing that I've never been Is sorry Let me go, let me go To the fires down below For the shores of the Elysian sea Hold no resting place for me Now the reckoning time has come For the things that I have done And the miseries I have wrought Return to hurt me Well don't think that it's so easy Living a life this deep in sin Always putting yourself before others Always cheating so you can win And always having someone's back So you can stick your flicknife in It's exhausting how much forethought Is spent on malice Trying to recall what lies you told And who you told them to Whose lives you ruined Or who you sold them to Then dreams so bad that you fear falling back to sleep Will wait for you. Oh, Eternity's inferno Bring me solace! I don't believe in judgement day So I've nothing to fear You can't send me to Hell Because I'm already here Let me go, let me go To the fires down below For the shores of the Elysian sea Hold no resting place for me Now the reckoning time has come For the things that I have done And the miseries I have wrought Return to hurt me

A surprising start with many more to follow, many crunchy chords and cool and inventive arrangement, yet such a catchy chorus.
