Well we all had to start somewhere. Paul Cox, Russell Yearworth and
myself formed the Outer Limits during the Physics lessons at school. We
started by playing Paul Cox's geometry set tin. Unfortunately the tin
was excluded from lessons and we were separated. (Probably a good move
as it allowed me to pass the exams and go on to study Physics at
University.) We were left with no choice but to quit or find a new
location - the Bedroom.I was heavily into the Stranglers and I couldn't play chords on the Guitar so I became the Bass player. Our main influences were the Punk bands and Paul's brother Steve Cox. He was into 60's garage bands an introduced us to the Cramps. Steve wrote some great lyrics and we got to put skulls everywhere. I think I wanted to be called "Paul B. Risen"
We always dress in black with white scarves. Skeletons dangled most
excitedly from our guitars. Paul Cox used to appear with his skull mask
during "The Gostport Ghoul" (although I'm sure his ear wasn't meant to
show)The fun all ended when Russell received a serious head injury in a motor cycle accident. He was unable to play for a considerable period and the band fizzled out. (Unfortunately, not the first drummer I was to lose)
Some musical highlights included:
Der Der Der Bop
which was the title, lyrics and the music. Pretty sucsinct
My Baby's From Mars
"She's green and black, short and fat.
she's got no head and she don't wear hats."
Harry's Bag
Harry was our maths teacher. Harry wasn't his name. He had a bag that he
kept on his desk. when he wrote on the Blackboard his bag was taken and
shifted to the back of the room. When he turned round we all shouted
"Harry's Bag". A pretty crap school boy prank and a pretty crap song.
Green Door
Yes I do mean that song. I think you have to hear me sing to relaise why
this one stood out.
GraveYard Party
"The ghoul's freakin' out, I think he's losin' his head.
He looks like he's dying but he's already dead."
