Simply Fortescue and Plastic Chase
Minor rock bands in the '90s space
Focussed on selections 'bout the human race
Then ran out of time, couldn't keep the pace
Plastic Chase was bad, never had a hit
Fortescue did better, at least until they split
Enerson went back to a band he'd quit
Gilgahood was left holding all the bits
Though they played the rounds
They could never find
Anything like gold
That they thought they'd mine
Lurking at the depths
Of the Billboard C
"Make us number one"
Was their common plea
Golden Fingers was their greatest muse
Ambush before them, but couldn't shine their shoes
Tried a fire early, couldn't keep the fuse
Left them only there to sing the blues
Record biz is hard
Barely made a dent
After all their costs
Didn't make a cent
Had to give it up
by the decade's end
Trying to get in?
Wouldn't recommend
Commentary
Fake bands and fake story. But decent advice?
