INTRO TO IPOD 2010
Okay, so here we go. So I ask myself just how far I can
get by trying to be MC Lars. I ripped off his sound but
I didn't make it fresher, I didn't see the point because
there was no pressure. So I just sit here thinking out
loud, wondering to myself will this work with a crowd,
wondering to myself if I've got any class, wondering to
myself if I'll die on my arse, and the drum kicks in,
my head starts to spin, trying to write this bloody song
on a whim, because I told myself it'd be something I'd
do in, oh I don't know, maybe 1992? And I'll just spit
out what comes to mind, it's not very good I think
you'll find at the end of the day these are just my
thoughts, not some complex lyrics that need to be
taught. Typing away at a computer screen just like some
teenage drama queen, Myspace profile, web log, lyrics,
think what I'm going to say before I try and spin it.
Eyes going square not a lot to do, pretend I'm hardcore
and form a crew. People on a forum that call you a
'fag'. I'll slag their mothers off and say that their
tits sag. Trolling the net like a troll in a net. See
what I did there? Genius. Jet set lifestyle in the
future for me. I'll gladly sell out for lots of money.
I'm gonna be rich and famous, you'll see. 'Cause on
Facebook I've got 150 friends, and by that I mean a
bunch of girls with low cut tops and faces that are
blurred.
MC iPod is my name, ripping off everything is my game.
I'm a biter, not a writer, and I even stole that line
like I stole your lighter.
Trademark infringement is the way, like peer-to-peer
file sharing? No way! Why be original, what's the point?
When it wouldn't be good it would just disappoint.

This was the first 'proper' MC iPod song I
started working on, although it wasn't the
first finished (in fact, I didn't even play this
at my first gig back in 2005 as I hadn't
finished it yet).
The music was something I had kicking around on
my hard drive from an old pop-electro project
I'd been working on as a kid.
Lyrically, I figured I may as well take a
light-hearted look at myself, and especially
the fact that I was just ripping off MC Lars.
The "trademark infringement is the way..." line
from the chorus stems from the fact that the
original name for my first album - later named
"E=MCiPod" was "Trademark Infringement". Also,
the "people on a forum who call you a fag" line
was originally "SHFC, what a bunch of fags", A
tongue-in-cheek reference to a group of dudes I
knew who jokingly called themselves "SFHC:
Sheringham Fatal HardCore". I didn't want
people to misunderstand it and take it as a
homophobic slur though.
The 2010 recording was something I knocked up
for a sampler CD I handed out at an MC Lars gig.
It's got some extra backing vocals, and I
shortened the massive instrumental bit at the
end.

SUPERFICIAL
The city I live in is being torn apart for some stupid
fucking reason, so just let me start, and they want to
rebuild every little thing, but when they hurt the
things I love that's when it stings.
So now I try and talk but I just don't know what to say,
try not to scream and shout but it just comes out that
way. These are the words that are in my head and they'll
stay with me until the day that I'm dead.
Sometimes I just don't know what to say.
Try and express myself eloquently? A futile game when
you're made to feel tiny. They have their cliques and
their mobs and their clubs, but we have ourselves we're
united going strong. But they're gonna be superficial
and we're not going to be scared, 'cause when they're
making a ruling that is judicial our collective efforts
will be shared.
Music/Lyrics Ian Perry

I was living in Norwich at the time where we had
an awesome venue called The Ferry Boat Inn,
which I ended up working at eventually. It was
an ace pub with an ageing punk rocker for a
landlord and a designated back room for live
music. I ran many gigs here over the years and
lost countless pounds doing so!
Meanwhile, just across the river, a bunch of
fancy new flats opened up and the residents were
taking offence to the fact that there was live
music nearby; causing Norwich City Council to
give us endless grief about our venue.
This song was my little one-man protest about
people moving in and complaining about the
pre-existing venue/noise/people/everything.
The Ferry Boat eventually closed down, leaving
me out of work which resulted in most of my
second CD "The Storm Before the Calm" being
about unemployment.

INBREDS
Why is everybody always picking on me? I asked that at
the start of being an MC. Why is everybody always
picking on me? I'm still blind, and I still can't see.
I walk down the street shit gets shouted at me.
Superficial bullshit, it's plain to see. I get told to
get a haircut or get a shave, do I look like a hippie
who just came from a rave? Is it because I'm foreign and
sometimes I look it, and Norwich is full of inbred
fucking hicks, who haven't left Norfolk in their lives,
ever, and think it's right to cause a fuss forever.
Called German, Italian, and when I had a beard I was
called Pakistani which I thought was fucking weird as
I'm a six foot white guy, plain as can be, inbreds are
thick as pigshit, especially to me.
I'm not trying to bring this on myself, if I was trying
to cause commotion I'd do a better job of it like bad
attempts at DIY and home shelves: everything would
collapse and be labelled shit. I'm just trying to get
this off my chest, 'cause to be honest sometimes it
bothers me. When I'm done with this I'll give it a rest
before I break down and rant nonsensically. I'm happy
with who I am I'll have you know, and I don't need your
half-hearted advice and I doubt you mean it anyway so
why don't you go give it to someone else so I don't have
to hear it twice. You think I need a haircut, I get it,
okay? And apparently now's the time for racist slurs.
At least I'm not shouting at strangers and being a
cliche or a fucking inbred hick whose family tree blurs.
So is she your sister or is she your cousin? I'd ask you
for definite but I know that you can't work it out as
you're too busy buzzing from sniffing your underage
daughter's pants. So fuck off back home and beat your
wife, or your sister, whatever you choose to call her,
or just fuck your daughter again tonight, she's already
been traumatised twice this year.
8
Just to get this off my chest, this town's full of
inbreds and I'm fucking sick of it.
I know I could leave but where would I go? As I'm 22
with no desire to go home. I could go somewhere new but
I can't risk it all, don't want to end up with my back
to the wall. Don't want to be in a new town and have to
sign at the fucking Job Centre as we know that's not
fun. So for now I'm stuck here, but it could be worse,
I no longer feel that I'm cursed. After a struggle at
least I've got a job now, but I do still live in an
inbred hick town. Fuck you though, I've done nothing
wrong but the abuse keeps coming all night long. Fuck
it, fuck them, fuck everyone else too, 'cause I know
I've got far better things to do than write lyrics about
incest molestation, fuck it I'll go play PlaystatiorJ.
Music Ed Wells
Lyrics Ian Perry
I'd lost my job at the Ferry Boat, I'd had some
bizarre racial abuse thrown at me (I'm of
Maltese descent for the record) and I was
generally miserable and blaming Norwich. In
hindsight, I'm aware of the irony of generalis¬
ing all Norfolk folk whilst having a go at them
for generalising me because of my look.
The first few lines are a reference to "At Me",
and the incest-themed TV clips are from The
Simpsons, Family Guy, Scrubs, and the WWE
"McMahon" documentary.
Since this, I've grown to absolutely love
Norwich and really miss not living there. Alas.
C'est la vie.

I WANNA BE A PRO WRESTLER
fall wanna be a pro wrestler, body slammed every night,
wearing spandex that's way too tight, that shows off my
nutsack, but that's all right, 'cause I'm a pro wrestler
here tonight.
Fireworks everywhere, I'm psyched up now. Gorilla
Position, and we're counting down. On my way through the
curtain, I worked last night but I'm still hurting.
Everyone chanting my name loud, every night I ask myself
how did I get to this position, is there something that
I'm missing? But I gladly will accept this, it's what
I've wanted since I was a kid. Even though it's still
my rookie year, I'm still psyched up that I'm still
here. Steel steps, canvas, and three ropes. Waiting in
the corner until we're told to go. The referee's rules
we must obey, the bell rings and we're under way.
Clothesline, suplex, two-count, up. Kicked in the balls
without a cup. Writing on the mat in pain, oh my god
this dude's insane! The crowd's turning against me now,
need a way to win them back somehow. Going back to what
I know, I'll just rip off Mr. Socko. Back and forth, I'm
winning now. I think I've got him on the ground.
One-count, two-count, shoulders up. The ref gets in
real close up. One last try to make this work, I climb
the top and I go berserk, crashing down onto the floor,
one, two, three, and I've won one more.
Music Geoff Chapa
Lyrics Ian Perry
10
This song is actually an analogy for my first
year as MC iPod, although no-one believes me
when I say it! The line about people chanting my
name is a reference to the last ever Ferry Boat
gig when I played and hundreds of people chanted
my name. My "rookie year"? First year of MC iPod
gigs. "I worked last night but I'm still
hurting"? Throat/vocal strain.
Anyway, it's a well known fact I love pro
wrestling so I wrote this song to mix my love of
pro wrestling with MC iPod. Wrestling refer¬
ences: the Gorilla Position - named after ex
wrestler Gorilla Monsoon - is the position
right before the curtain, the last place you
walk through before heading down the aisle. Mr.
Socko was Mick Foley's sock puppet gimmick
which became a recurring part of his character
which he'd use almost as a crutch. This is a
metaphor for my reliance on the "Fresh Prince"
cover to win crowds over.
ll
HEROIN: NATURE'S PASTIME 2007
When I say he's dead I don't mean it in the sense that
he's hurt, I mean it in the sense that he's buried in
the dirt, and people ask me why I don't do drugs, "but
you're in hip-hop, you're supposed to be a thug". And I
don't drink either and there's always a question about
that, the answer is that when I'm drunk I act like a
twat. Now Marcus is dead but it very easily, it could
have been you or it could have been me, or anybody else
whose life is a mess. Dear God, I stand in front of you
to confess I wasn't such a good boy when I was a child,
I did my fair share of shit that was too wild, like
America's Most Wanted I should be profiled as a video
highlight package is compiled, but I ask; am I paying
for it all now? Is there a way to go back and change it
somehow?
My friend's mum died when we were eleven. It's okay son,
mummy's gone to Heaven. Try saying that to a small
crying child already dealing with the fact that his
dad's died. So we sit there with our heads in our hands,
likening Heaven to this far away land, it's not quite
true he soon realises mummy's dead, she's not sleeping,
and it's all a lie. But he soldiers on, albeit alone,
sits by himself and he cries down the phone to his
step-brother who he doesn't really know, the only
person with him on this isolated plateau. He'll carry
on, but give him some years, waiting for dryness to
replace these tears. I guess, with all of this, what I'm
trying to say is make the most of people before the go
away.
Now people come and people go, and I don't think that
we know just how important they are until their memory
forms a scar.
12
So I grew up with some shit but you can't really tell,
'cause I've since moved on and grown up well. Distanced
my present from my past until a better life had been
amassed. I woke up one morning and I was alone, and
anybody could have said they told me so, 'cause they had
but I was too stubborn to listen, too concerned about
all the girls that I was kissing. So my friends walked
away and I just stood there like a Siamese midget at
this year's State Fair. If people were money they'd be
millionaires whilst my life became a game of musical
chairs. Mistakes have been made, it's all realised,
some times too late, others idealised. I guess with all
of this, what I'm trying to say is make the most of
people before they go awayj I Music £d Wells
Lyrics Ian Perry
This song - possibly my most bleak - should be
fairly self explanatory. The first verse is
about a dude I used to know, Marcus, who died
of a heroin overdose. The lyrics are about me
questioning my own life choices and pondering
what's next. The second verse is about my
childhood best friend, and about how both his
parents died. The third verse is more about me
questioning the decisions I've made and the
people I've lost as a result. The general point
of the song is to never take people for granted
as you never know when they'll be gone.
I rarely ever play this live as people don't
tend to want me to bum them out mid-set. This
2007 recording is from my second CD, and is a
slightly different tempo to the original. Oh,
and I mis-spelt "Pastime" as "Passtime" every
other time I've released this song!
13
AT ME (2 DEAD 2 CARE)
Why is everybody always picking on me? I'm just your
friendly neighbourhood MC. Why is everybody always
staring at me? I must be blind 'cause I can't see.
What's going on?
Everywhere I go I just don't fit in and I won't even try
'cause I won't win. If this was a race I'd be dead last
whilst everybody else is running real fast. So I always
keep my head down low from when I enter a room to when
I go, 'cause it's easier than anything else and at the
end of the day that would all be false.
Head down, eyes down, falling apart. Running round in
circles right from the start. And there's a part of me
willing to try to stand up tall to survive. So do I pull
up my socks and stand up tall? Or stand there with my
back to the wall? Who cares? Do you care? Does it matter
at all? You can't run with it if you don't have the
ball.
Is it the way I move? Is it the way I talk? Is it the
clothes I wear? Is it the way I walk? Is it the way I
move, when I groove, and I'll bet that there's something
else I haven't noticed yet JJ
Music Paul Norris
Lyrics Ian Perry
14
This was one of the earliest songs written. It's
meant to be about feeling that the world is
judging me and watching me, so it's best to just
give up and try and hide.
The "pull up my socks and stand up tall" line is
a reference to a Dizzee Rascal lyric. The line
about everyone picking on me is nicked from
somewhere, I think the Bloodhound Gang. I can't
remember exactly though.
When I play this live - which I rarely do any
more - I use a kids toy to change my voice on
the "is it the way..." section. The first one I
had was a pink girlie toy I found discarded at
the Ferry Boat.

DAWSON AND JOEY (MY FEARS)
There I was at the age of three, she met me in the play¬
ground at the nursery we took it for rent that we'd
always be friends, never stopping to think what would
happen in the end. In fact these might be facts or they
might be fictional, I'm only four lines in and I'm out
of material. My emotions take over like it's World Way
Three, screaming inside with thoughts of negativity.
I'm stressing it now but it's been six years, and ending
up alone was always one of my fears, my fears.
I'm worried what to say to those who care, 'cause I'd
never wanna see a face broken by tears. But I didn't
wanna kiss her, 'cause she was like my sister, just
wanna hold her by the hand and tell her that I missed
her on this ride which feels like emotional Twister,
since that very first day we said 'hasta la vista', but
that's not what happened, you just walked away, it would
be really cool to see you and say 'hey', since I remem¬
bered you after all these years and ending up alone was
always one of my fears, my fears 5J
Music Ian Perry
Lyrics Ian Perry/Joe Halliday
18
This track is about remembering a girl I used to
go to school with who meant a lot to be when I
was a little kid, and wishing I could hang out
with her again. The second verse is about being
worried my girlfriend would take this the wrong
way, and trying to reassure her it's absolutely
nothing sexual! I thought - as it's about a
school yard male-female friendship - that it
needed to liberally sample the theme from
Dawson's Creek.
My buddy Joe - who I used to work with at the
Ferry Boat - helped me out a bit with the
lyrics. We were bored during a shift and I was
working on this, and he tweaked and changed a
few things and made it flow better, hence him
getting a writing credit (and, I think, the only
lyric-writing credit other than myself in any
of my songs).
19
SEXUAL KIDS
Even though we're young we know that sometimes we get
it, but other times it seems obvious but still we forget
it. We lose sight of just how young we still are and how
much time there is left in this world of ours.
Pointless questions cause a rift which never heals and
makes us drift away from those who always cared. One
pointless question, it shall never be repaired.
Let's look at the world in the year 2006 and it's full
of sexual kids. And those who aren't feel they've missed
out and always feel the need to always shout. Missed
opportunities once again, for now an enemy but once a
former friend. If only a chance to just travel back in
time so you could party like it's 1999.
Music Dan Harvey
Lyrics Ian Perry
20
This track is about someone I knew who found out
about some of the stuff his girlfriend got up to
before him, and didn't exactly respond well.
I'm trying to say that kids these days get up to
way more sex than I ever did in my youth, and
that we should expect it. I wrote it in 2006,
hence the lyrical reference to that particular
year.
Funny/tragic story: I have my music hosted on
Bandcamp.com, and one of the features is
knowing how people found your page. Someone
found the MC iPod page by searching for "sexual
kids" on Google. That disturbs me.
21
ZOMBIES [HOBSY REMIX] Cteed to think I was unstoppable. Used to think I was
incredible. Used to think that I was the man, taking
over the world was my plan. Used to think I was number
one, until these zombies had to spoil my fun.
You've got me scared all night, zombies coming at me
left and right.
Now when I look in the mirror I see a face that's a
whole lot thinner. I haven't slept a night in over a
week, I'm not very alert but I'm feeling kinda tweaked.
What's right or wrong? Should I have gone with you all
along? Should I have tried to run away so I could fight
another day? So, you're all coming for my brain. Sucks
to be you 'cause I'm insane. You know my brain ain't
worth a bit but you're still climbing over things to get
to it. You've got that look in your eyes; you're fixated
on me, I'm your prize. I'll rip you to bits with an old
chainsaw but I bet you'd still come back for some more.
I know that I could try and hide; it might be the only
way to stay alive. But I should give you more credit,
if I found a hiding place you'd likely shred it. So, I
fight and I run. Chainsaw in hand so I'm having fun. And
I strike a nerve, well more of a limb, this is getting
absurd. Body parts go flying, you make this noise as if
you're dying. I know not to fall for it, you're already
dead and cut to bits. You don't stop giving chase, this
is turning into a race. I turn and strike a fatal blow,
your head flies off, you're finished, I know.
I'm feeling all right, I came out the winner of this
fight. I'm feeling all right, defeated the dead of the
night. I'm feeling all right, I've got your head on a
silver platter. But I'm getting paranoid that you'll
come back and none of this will matter.
Music Ian Perry/Stephen Hobson
99 Lyrics Ian Perry
I got a random e-mail from some dude, saying he
was putting a low-budget zombie movie together
and would I like to contribute a track. I
thought this was awesome but, as this is me, I
slacked off and slacked off. By the time I even¬
tually finished the track and e-mailed it to
him, I never heard back, presumably as I'd left
it to late.
The original version of the track - which was
released on a cassette tape of demo songs - was
a lot more minimalist, and was supposed to have
a somewhat 'grime' feel to it. Feeling that it
needed beefing up, I sent it to my mate Hobsy
who added loads of extra stuff over the top and
made it into this. Then I added some dialogue
from Shaun of the Dead.
23
THE SUMMER OF "I WIN AT LIFE"
I guess this started in earnest with a show back in
June. I was so damned excited, it just couldn't come too
soon. I got to see the Bouncing Souls supported by POS,
the first time I heard his album I knew it was the best.
The gig was totally rad and the Souls were on top form.
POS was beautiful, but I guess that that's the norm. But
we had to skip out early so that we could catch the
train, we though we wanted to stay but we knew we should
refrain. Fast forward a few weeks and I'm changing
location, spending all my time at gigs is my life's
station, so we found some things to do and I blagged
myself a show opening up an all-dayer to a crowd that
didn't know what I was going to do or what they should
expect. But I think it went down well when it could have
been a mess. Vanilla Pod rocked, to say they sucked
would be a joke, and they've even got new songs, man,
I'm totally stoked!
I spent every last penny that I had. Aren't you sad? No,
'cause this summer was rad!
I saw Harry Shearer play bass in a tiny place, saw Sam
Russo get totally drunk off his face. Even played a show
with Lita and her Luchagors and even interview them
outside the venue's doors. Saw Sonic Boom Six which is
always a pleasure. Finally saw Madness, which will
become the new measure of greatness when comparing all
other bands; they're one of the finest bands we've got
in this land. Saw The Pogues too, but the less said the
better. Squirtgun and Company L both played belters.
Dave House: a king amongst men, I could watch him play
live time and time again. I saw James Hull really come
into his own. Apologies? I have none for having gone to
their show. The Filaments reformed, but the highlight
of the season was seeing The Get Up Kids, now my life
has new meaning. Music/Lyrics Ian Perry
24
Simply put, this song is about spending a summer
unemployed going to gig after gig. I'd just left
Norwich and was temporarily living in
Cambridge. I'd worked a temp job and had some
cash saved up, so had no need or desire to get
a real job over the summer (as I knew I'd be
leaving again soon enough) . So, I spent a few
months just going to a shitload of gigs and
having an awesome time.
The all-dayer I opened was at the Portland Arms
in Cambridge. My mate Raph was putting it on,
and I begged him to let me play.
I wanted to make a point of mentioning James
Hull as my name comes up in one of his songs.
The dialogue clip at the beginning is from Three
To Tango, a film I like far, far too much.
25
YOUR BAND SUCKS
For the past few years I've been putting on shows, yeah
you know. Every day is filled with messages from bands
that I don't know, asking for a slot, telling me they're
great, they'll be my mate. I guess by doing this I've
kinda sealed my own fate. I don't care if you've got a
video on MTV2, putting on this band is not something
that I wanna do. So when I say it out loud I don't mean
no disrespect, I figured the best way was just to say
it direct.
Say what, say what? Your band sucks.
I'll admit it, I don't understand kids today. But hey,
maybe that's me showing my age? What the fuck is
Crunkcore? I think this shit is in. I'm going to take
your gig request and throw it in the bin. I don't wanna
hear a band that is jumping on trends, I wanna hear a
band with passion that is trying to make amends for all
those kids I don't think will ever learn their place. I
figured the best way was just to say this to your fac-f.
Music/Lyrics Ian Perry
26
If you hadn't realised, this track uses the bass
line from "Six Pack" by Black Flag, in an
attempt to prove my punk status! Lyrically,
it's about when I used to be a gig promoter. I'd
get many, many messages from countless shitty
bands begging me to give them gigs. I'd want to
just scream at them and tell them how shit they
are, but I was trying to be professional and
diplomatic so could never say what was actually
on my mind.
As I'd stopped running gigs, I wrote this to get
it all off my chest! I wrote it in a few minutes
one Friday afternoon, and played it live for the
first time on the Monday. I never, never write
- or learn - stuff this quickly so was pretty
impressed with myself when I pulled this off.
The group shouts in the chorus are from a live
recording from The Homestead in Southampton. In
the original recording I'd asked some people to
shout "your band sucks" for me, and I use those
in the last rendition of the chorus. If you were
wondering, the voices are - in order - Kunt from
Kunt and the Gang, Evildave from Gravedale High
and Graveyard Junkies, James from Zapiain (the
really uninterested-sounding vocals) and James
Hull.

If I was the kind of person to have a 'best of' album, this would
probably be it. Consider it a collection of my personal favourite
tracks from the first five years of MC iPod (2005-2010), plus a few
of my favourite covers I've recorded.
