what is this dust? by oldrottenhead

attic thoughts but not the bo hanson type.

bin up the loft all day clearing it in preperation for loft insulation guys coming tomorrow.

or is it a drug song?

my bones are aching
skin like glass
i got the hot sweats
running down my back

my fingers cracking
both my eyes are dry
i got that cat's eye fever
but i'm too scared to cry

fibreglass amphetamines
what is this dust
what is this dust
asbestos acid skag
my coke is flat
my coke is flat

my stains are nicoteened
burnt bled gums
i grind my teeth at night
the sandman never comes

crawling round the attic
on my back and side
rolling round for purchase
pulling 'gainst the tide

what is this dust?

Awesome! That's quite a different vocal sound from you. I like it. Reminds me a bit of Roger Chapman from the band Family.

Ha! It takes a special kind of genius to get inspiration from loft insulation, lol. I absolutely love the 'wobbled' vocal on this. Sounds like Rod Stewart cross-pollinated with Captain Beefheart. A very different sound for you, but a f*cking brilliant departure. I like it as much as anything you've done, and the guitar work is spot-on. Brilliant.
