Biography:
The Bevis Frond is a British musical group whose range covers hard edge to melancholy vintage indie rock to poetic, "classic-rock" songcraft with a thick Walthamstow accent. Nick Saloman is the band's frontman and songwriter. They have recorded many albums out on various independent labels.
Saloman was originally in a band known as the Bevis Frond Museum in the late 1960s and in 1979 was in a band called the Von Trapp Family. The Bevis Frond, however, was a one man band from the start with the release of a 250 copy pressing of Miasma in 1987.

Motherdust
By Bevis Frond
From the album
"A Gathering of Fronds"
Here is a great BF song with one of his cleverest lyrics, telling the tale of a
mother/son relationship in question/answer format. The tune is simple but
effective and fun to play. Just play the power/barre chords throughout.
A5 B5 G5 F5
Oh you are a horrid child
Weak as piss and running wild
Suspect eyes, a studied glare
Hollow gaze and tile-hung hair
Blame me not for the things I do
I speak in tongues I learned fom you
Never put your faith in trust
Just cover me with Motherdust
Oh you are a sight to see
Black sheep of the family
Hign on ego, sure to fall
A disappointment to us all
Do not lay your guilt on me
By hating what you wrong to me
For you and I result in us
Well cover me with Motherdust
Oh you are a foolish kid
If I'd have done the things you did
I never would have got this far
And you'd be wiser than you are
I have no manners to excuse
A privelege is to abuse
For what in life is fair and just?
Weel cover me with Motherdust
Oh you are a spiteful boy
Your sole concern is to annoy
The little lad I loved has gone
I wonder where I went so wrong
Impale me not on failure's spike
For we are very much alike
And people do what people must
Just cover me with Motherdust
For I'm your Child
I'm your Child
I'm your Child...
