Its a song
about a life of being swamped by American culture- whether you like it
or not. I know little of the band Wilco and what I do know I just wonder
why I have to know. So I thought, do Wilco have a Wilco at the edge of
their mind, whether they like it or not? Do Americans have an America?
Can't wait for people to hear this track. It's got such a seventies feel to it. Like every song on the album, Clare Moore and I play every instrument.
It's also the second song in my career I've been inspired by Phil Silvers aka Sgt Bilko . The first was My Schtick Weighs A Ton in 2005.
Did you know pedal steel maestro Lucky Oceans had an uncle who played Doberman in the show?
Wilco got no Wilcos
I love the blues
Sgt Bilko, Hogans Heroes, F Troop
Wilco got no Bilko
Wilco got no Wilco – no other
those guys were worldly – worldwide
Wilco got no Wilcos
festival favourites – out of shape guys in denim
happy to be home - happy to be there
Romans! legionaires!
we saw the white sails
their kitchens came first – galleys!
clankin’ through the bush
twenty two flavours of milk shake
Wilco got no Wilco
Yankees got no Yankee
no cultural oppressor
West can’t get no East!
They want it, but can’t
Wilco got no Wilcos
No Wilcos on their case – in their mind
out on the town- Hershey bars and silk stockings
Wilco got no Wilco!
Wilco got no Wilco!
