Biography:
Formed 1989 by David Bridie and Helen Mountfort (members of Not Drowning Waving)
Like their former band, My Friend The Chocolate Cake's music can be seen to straddle the worlds of ambient and world music, with an emphasis on piano and violin-led acoustic music.

In 1989, Bridie and Mountfort were playing in globally acclaimed ambient/world music ensemble Not Drowning

I'VE GOT A PLAN - My Friend the Chocolate Cake
A
I've got a plan
E B
Let's take off in the blue station wagon
E A
And find the open road to salvation

Away from here
A
I've got a plan
E G
Teach you patterns that I form a lot
E A
Not try to be something that I'm not
B
That I'm not
Chorus
C#m G
I've got another plan, this time it will work
C#m G
I've got another plan, this time it will work

I could start thinking more about you

And not just about the dumb things that we do

B A
There's endless talking here
B E
It's not worth you wasting your while
A
Cos you say one thing in darkness
B
And another when it's light
A B A E
And you end up without moving for the best part of three days
A
I've got a plan
E B
How about we fly across the valleys at sundown
E A E
Then drink malt whiskey until the sun it comes back up again
B
Don't hold your head down when things get mediocre
A E G
It doesn't mean that they're half bad, they're bad
