    Record goes alright. Some pretty good tracks. Songs about frustration, cock suckery, idiots being in positions of power and a heap of other worldly themes.

lyrics

How long until it takes my muscles over
Just when will I be bones in a mauve cardy
Who says that I’ll need some bolts in my hip
And a tube shoved in my bladder through the eye of my dick

How long will it be until I can barely blink
Just when will I be staring out the window over the nursing home sink
Who says that I’ll be shaken right in to the ground
The youngest case of old age reported in this town

How long until my kids see me cry
Just when will people need to whisper that that kids father just died
A horrible death way too young
Just as permanent residence was granted to their Mum

Goddamn, what a shit awful life
Spending my final moments looking in the eyes of the mid wife
Well, she’ll say as she takes in my hand
At least you made a double record with your shit awful band
