Last Train to London rolled on to victory in match 126, so it goes on.
Up to our semi-final match in round one, with Going Out On Me facing The Battle of Marston Moor (2 July 1644)
REMEMBER TO VOTE IN THE POLL

Marston Moor could be redone in the style of Peter and the Wolf. forget that historic battle Use the song as background for a Warner Bros cartoon - say Porky Pig ineptly stalking after Daffy Duck across swamps and dale. the cello plays as Roy narrates the action bassoon - porky oboe - daffy recorder - frightened birds
and make Bev finally add some damn drums

Listening them now back to back, both were actually much better than I remembered. Marston Moor at times gave me similar vibes than "Revolution 9", in a good way I mean. Going Out On Me had been a good fit on Long Wave with its early 60's feel. On FOON it kind of gets lost in the shuffle.
It's a coin-toss and I'll go with 'the Battle'.

Here's me thinking that I'd be the only voter for it, c'mon Marston!

I'm amused by the fact that Bev hated Marston Moor so much that he refused to play drums on it.

'Going Out On Me'. Not that it's bad but I can't think of any other way I'd be so close to voting for 'The Battle of Marston Moor (2 July 1644)'.

Even though both songs are pretty bad, I have appreciation for what the boyos were up to when they made Marston Moor. There's no excuse for Goin Out On Me.

10 apiece! Can Marston do the unthinkable?

I voted for Marston Moor. I'm really hoping it can win this battle.

I honestly thought this would be a blowout. But it's tied!
