  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    By popular demand I'm printing up some CDs. These should ship in late February 2024.

    Please be aware that due to post-Brexit 'red tape' I cannot currently ship The Rebutles CDs to Europe. I am sorry not to be able to help my European fans. As it is not possible to exclude sales territories on Bandcamp, I have instead set an absurd postage cost.
    Any European CD sales will be refunded.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Nick Frater presents The Rebutles 1967-1970 via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
    ships out within 14 days

      £10 GBP or more 

     

lyrics

write what you think
in invisible ink
make sure to dot all the teas

put in the boot
with a mellotron flute
make sure to cross all the eyes

Loose tea in disguise
You’re waiting for the pot to boil
In front of your eyes it’s only loose tea in disguise

Loose tea in disguise
Stirring up a cloud of milk
With a biscuit surprise it’s only loose tea in disguise

Chimpanzees at the Joanna
Bashing out Brahms and Liszt
One lump or two me old China
smashed with two grasping fists

Faded Victorian grandeur
Pith helmet falls to the floor
Sugar cubes melt and meander
Was that a knock at the door?

Sweeney in disguise
Feeling like a chocolate box with some googley eyes
It’s only loose tea in disguise

Loose tea in disguise
You’re waiting for the pot to boil
In front of your eyes it’s only loose tea in disguise

Loose tea in disguise
Stirring up a cloud of milk
With a biscuit surprise it’s only loose tea in disguise
