Amazing how when that came out, first time I heard it it sounded exactly of its time, a thing for that year, that day, that minute, and yet play it nearly 40 years later and it hasn't aged a second. The finest, the best, the noblest and the most human band of the last 40-odd years - the world would be a far worse place without the mekons, and it doesn't even know it.
The violins lead over the synth and drums is brilliantly original!! I heard this in 81 on the Amazing ZM 'All Nighter' with the legendary Bazza' Jenkins at the Helm RIP BJ!!....
Teeth What, no, not another set of teeth to worry and bite and stop all sleep. What, no, not another set of teeth Will the sadness book never be complete. We sit in pubs and talk of times of groups we knew and all the signs of war and money, oppression and more. What, no, not another set of teeth each crisis bites, but not so deep. What, no, not another set of teeth And through the shadows we always creep. we say hello to what we want and stop all sores and irritants nice clear skin and perfect teeth What, no, not another set of teeth to worry and bite and stop all sleep What, no, not another set of teeth this sadness will never be complete. We sit in pubs and talk of times of groups we knew and all the signs of war and money, oppression and more.
Thanks for this. I have another version of "Teeth" by The Mekons on some compilation CD, but this one is the far superior version. This one really has bite (pun intended) that the other one does not. This one has some ripping guitar.
There are various youtube downloaders on the internet. I used one called You Tube MP3. Do a search on google for it and you'll find it. You just copy and paste the link into the box and press the convert button.

A brilliant track, electronica mixed with punk and violin !!
Loved the Mekons back in the day, saw them
Live a couple of times, brilliant.
Teeth
What, no, not another set of teeth
to worry and bite and stop all sleep.
What, no, not another set of teeth
Will the sadness book never be complete.
We sit in pubs and talk of times
of groups we knew and all the signs
of war and money, oppression and more.
What, no, not another set of teeth
each crisis bites, but not so deep.
What, no, not another set of teeth
And through the shadows we always creep.
we say hello to what we want
and stop all sores and irritants
nice clear skin and perfect teeth
What, no, not another set of teeth
to worry and bite and stop all sleep
What, no, not another set of teeth
this sadness will never be complete.
We sit in pubs and talk of times
of groups we knew and all the signs
of war and money, oppression and more.
