It was a weird week, trying to balance work and fun. I was especially annoyed with how trivial Friday went until we hit the basement. On a side note, in the last decade, I sorta stopped drinking....... Mark cured me.
got a lot of things going through my mind
enough of that bullshit daily grind
Mark locked in to a kick ass a riff
its tight as hell and I'm gettin stiff
beer is good alcohol in my brains
washing away the bullshit stains
numbnut complains "the file's too big"
completely forgotten with another swig
fat bitch crying "the keyboards broke"
have another bagel and I hope you choke
a few brews down and I'm done crying
one more round and I'll be flying
(bridge)
I bet Tim has an pint in hand
jim's so pissed he can barely stand
Tharek and Geir were throwing down
a couple pints in Mikes home town
Friday's through and I came straight home
grabbed a beer and a microphone
looked at my amp decided no
acoustic's the way it's gotta go

Hot damn this is good guys. Really great to hear you belt one out Tony. stuttering, staggering, lurching with a huge heart and soul......this is a kind of soul music. I can almost hear the wide open midwestern prairie here, cattle clomping around. Its almost a strange blues of sorts. Very cool sounding.

Not much of a gambler, are you?
I love the (unintended) Zappa-esqe quality to this.

Hang on... just had to put my pint down to type, lol.
I really dig this. Reminds me of the White Stripes' brand of lo-fi, ramshackle blues - and in a very good way. The recurring acoustic lead riff is brilliant, and I love the way it locks into a stuttering groove with the vocal and drum. Cool production too... it floats into a different place with that sweet acoustic solo at the end.
The boys done good!
p.s. Stopped drinking? Forever? What's the secret cure that Mark's packing?!

a couple 18 packs of budweiser and a significant lack of motivation!
Honestly though, I wasn't a very good drunk. I woke up one day with one too many regrets, and realized that remorse and intoxication were hand in hand. To give one up, I needed to give up the other. Now I've matured, I can handle a good buzz, but it's a rare occasion.

Have you got Henwrench in that basement with you? There's a real off kilter edge here that just works so well. Very different guys and agree with Tim, a definite hint of White Stripes (and quite a lot of Red Stripe!). Love that change section as well and the way it ends on that acoustic riff.
Cheersa,
Nigel

using CTMF (https://songcrafters.org/forum/index.php?topic=3785.msg156744#msg156744) without knowing it a series of comments lead me to this one, which I was "'SICOB" (https://songcrafters.org/forum/index.php?topic=3785.msg52234#msg52234). oh well ...
This is anyways a fab tune, and great to be reminded of. I can almost see you guys sitting there recording this !!
Like Nigel I can hear some Henny influence, but it's still uniquely US MET quality work !!
... and a name-check too ... gotta love that ;D
