I’m still not sure what the lyrics really mean but what the heck – it’s catchy and has a great beat.  Enjoy!

I originally wrote this song way back in 1993 (!) but have never made a proper recording of it until now.  Originally it was slow and kind of bluesy and for some reason I sang it in some sort of Nick Cave meets Jim Morrison voice.  Here’s a demo I recorded in 1993 – guitar, bass, drums and vocals recorded on a Yamaha MT-100 4 track recorder.

In 2007 when we were shortlisting songs for the 2nd SSA record, I recorded a new demo.  This one was uptempo and the vocal was an octave higher in pitch.
