Dull. Just like a million other songs.

IIRC, they lost their record contract with Columbia. They put out a self-published CD, the name of which I cant remember but I have it at home (I'm at work) and that was about it for them.

Update: The name of the CD is Three 2s. It can be ordered from http://www.ticrecords.com/chalkfarm/order.html

Ashame good bands like this are forced to break-up. Anyone know the "inside scoop"?

Ah, memories of the late Channel 103.1 here in LA. It's nice to hear this song and not not because I'm listening to my iPod.

The successor band to Chalk Farm is Duff. Check them out at www.duffweb.com

i definitely hear the toad influence here as well... and i think that the CF album came out a few years after toad had their day - but this song is still far more entertaining to me than any of toad's music ever was.

TTWS has better lyrics, but these are not bad. Sometimes I just think poets who play guitar ought to stick to the pen rather than the pick.

yeah, the TTWS vibe is pretty strong =;

Thought this was Toad the Wet Sprocket at first.

I saw these guys once live at the Chili Cookoff in DC and really enjoyed the show. I think Notwithstanding had the potential to be a good album, but it just didn't catch on with much popular appeal (despite its 2 radio singles). Glad to hear their stuff is still circulating on here.

Here are the lyics:

Lie On Lie - Chalk Farm
Lyrics by Michael Duff

Any town any day the separation's real
And I find it is based on nothing
Passed from father to son, Mothers to their girls
enough

And I fall once again from my own ideals
And I fight back the fear of something
that I don't understand but learned when I was young
I know that it's strange I know it's strange

I think it will take us more than legislation
I think it will take us more than filling graves and
I say that you can not force appreciation
Lie on lie

I will not run away from the battle now
If it seems it's the way I'm fighting
I will just pass away pieces of my life
'cause I know that it's right, I know that it's right

I think it will take us more than legislation
I think it will take us more than filling graves and
I say that you can not force appreciation
Lie on lie

I think it will take us more than legislation
I think it will take us more than filling graves and
I say that you can not force appreciation
Lie on lie

Wow, sound-wise, it's like an ill-advised union of Incubus and Collective Soul and the Goo-Goo Dolls. Ick. Lyrically, it's better, at least.

Too bad these guys disbanded. I kind of like this song.

Good song, good lyrics.

Those are the correct words, but I think it will take more than Will & Grace too.

:p

"...take us more than filling graves." Is my guess.

Someone else did this song, and did a better job of it...but I am not sure who...it was enjoyable though.

Actually, I think it's "...it will take us more than Philly grapes." :???:

HA thats funny. I'll add the outline of a guitar to the chalkline.

Its a decent rock n' roll song. What types of music DO you like?

I am hearing it right? "It will take more than legislation, it will take more than Will & Grace"??

I really like the passion and energy here. It's somewhat formula, but it has a great beat and makes me want to pay attention to the message. Looking forward to hearing it again.

I have this CD and like it. Its not the greatest band, or the greatest music but sometimes I just dig it. Nice to hear on the air. They are broken up now for those who cared one way or the other.

This music sounds very generic. Not any interesting ideas.

This song made me want to crawl into a body chalkline. No thanks.

Wow, who would've thought to hear this on the air!

Cool!
