Sonic adventurers, punk rock fundamentalists, exuberant luddites, willing outcasts.
Mekons formed in Leeds, England 34 years ago in 1977 and Ancient & Modern is their 26th album. This current classic line-up has remained intact since the mid-1980s. Throughout their history, they have worked collaboratively and collectively with everything credited to the band, never to individuals. Their mind-boggling output consistently blurs the lines between high art and low and has included exhibitions in the UK and US

Start song with strumming E, A and Asus4 , then goes
EA I made a mistake E When I looked over my shoulder E Cromwell was right behind me AB/A In the driving rain E I came out of the bathroom AE Looking for my ticket E It's hard to be BAE Hard to be human again
EA Well I've been punched and beaten E Though it never shows E I'm going up to Sheffield AB/A I don't know when I'm coming home E He took me in a corner AE And I don't know why EBA I was looking for a friend E He shaved me dry
EA Never been in trouble E Don't call me on the phone E Put the blower in the bathroom AB/A Burn the house and start from scratch EAE Searching for existence with my red, red wine E It's hard to be BAE Hard to be human again
EA There was a caravan E Leaving in the dusk EAB/A I saw a man hold a chicken to his head E I'm telling you baby AE I go up and I come down E It's hard to be BAE Hard to be human again
