| Defibrillator | |
| written and read by me: Alex Kapranos | |
| I didn't know Big Jamesy that well | |
| He hung about with McPherson, my flatmate | |
| I met him on Christmas day when I worked a shift at the 13th Note | |
| He sat at the end of the bar, drinking and drinking | |
| until he threw up over it. | |
| Watery spew dripping onto the pint glasses on the shelf below | |
| Christmas day | |
| Thanks Jamesy | |
| McPherson was the star of the Glasgow easy listening revival | |
| spinning Klaus Wunderlich and Peters and Lee records | |
| and a kipper tie and polyester suit | |
| smellig of Oxfam | |
| and Brut for men | |
| \"Let´s get a band together! It'll be great! Big Jamesy can play guitar. He's rrrrrreally good\" | |
| \"Okay | |
| I'll ask Baldy Keith to come down and play drums | |
| He's got a band as well\" | |
| So I was back in the basement at the 13th Note with Big Jamesy, McPherson and Baldy Keith | |
| We didn't have a name | |
| any songs | |
| or any idea of what we were going to do other that it was going to be | |
| \"rrrrrrreally heavy\" | |
| Big Jamesy looked like one of those late Ramones | |
| You know those guys that came in to play the drums | |
| or the bass when Dee Dee had gone off to rap | |
| Leather jacket, black bowl cut, surly stoop and malnourished frame | |
| \"And on drums it's... BENNY RAMONE\" | |
| Instantly identifiable but completely anonymous | |
| We set up our gear | |
| Baldy Keith's parents had bought him a huge, ostentatious kit | |
| with too many toms | |
| and one of those backwarrds cymbals | |
| McPherson's bass a beautiful Paddy's market semi | |
| that shreked when any amp was turned over two | |
| I was gonna sing | |
| And Big Jamesy brought out his Charvel | |
| and plugged it in a luminous, yellow DOD, Metal Maniac pedal | |
| Then turned every dial into Peavey tranny amp as far to the right as it would go | |
| Then he started | |
| Ah shite |
