The above has been suggested but it doesn't lend itself to a 4 piece guitar band (no keyboards) too well. Anybody play this and have any arrangements / thoughts?

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

We do it in our band . csharp /dsharp/f/fsharp/gsharp I think.
In the quiet section we play the theme from Shaft for a few bars ...

See if you can find the original version by Bruce Woolley & the Camera Club, there's a lot more guitar in it (it's more sort of XTC-ish). It's on the album "English Garden".

I had English Garden on vinyl and CD. God knows where it went. Five star album.

It is a great album - one of those records only an English band could make. I've never even seen a CD copy of it.
(It also features a very young Thomas Dolby, whose music I also absolutely love).

I scare myself, just thinking about Tom Dolby.

I too was quite scared, finding myself knee deep in water, under a pylon...! X
