lyrics

woke up last night from an awful dream
instead of blood i had nicotine
sometimes i miss amphetamine
and i know that it misses me
went to a party somewhere late last night
told myself i had a real nice time
but it's not the same with just a glass of wine
i think the drugs are all right

i got this job: they do these random tests
but i haven't even had one yet
i could get away with anything, i bet
and one day i think i might
i know there's downsides: it's plain to see
they've all been pointed out to me
it's probably not as good as it used to be
still i think the drugs are all right

now i'm not saying i want some heroin
i don't play games that i can't win
wasting your life's not such an awful sin
its bark's worse than its bite
i've ended up with a real nice life
i've got two kids and a pretty little wife
don't tell em i said this, but my advice
is i think the drugs are all right

Every one of the songs on this album are cracking good songs. Not a dip in performance throughout. Influences vary but amid the poppier numbers there are hints of The Velvet Underground. followjohnreed

Dirtbag Transformation: "What is this?" was my first reaction. But what an amazing song. It reminds me a bit of the Pixies in how it pulls together dissonance and then resolves. malfunction54
