General comments logo

I think that this LP is one of the strongest to date, riffs galore, better than usual production, some excellent vocals and all still retaining that vital element of speed. I wonder how many people (like me) nearly blew their speakers the first time playing the LP after turning the sound up upon experiencing the barely audible first track only to have the bass intro to 'Junkies' blast out ?

Junkies

Words & Music: The Breakouts

Junkies all around you,
junkies everywhere.
Junkies on the corner,
Junkies in your head.

Look around fast enough,
you might see one in you.
Look around fast enough ..


Up with all the madness,
but we do it automatic.
With the bullhsit that they taught you,
it's a wonder how you got through it.



Cryin' on the hard shoulder

Words & Music: Abrahall, Blyth, Lomas, Preece

Just one more sip,
I'll be on my trip,
from hell to paradise.
Won't hear you shout,
cus' I block it all out,
I got nothing in this life.

A wild beast with the devil in your breast,
putting our friendship to the test.
When it comes to drinking you're the title holder,
but I won't, I won't leave you ..
Cryin', cryin' cryin' ..
on the hard shoulder ..


You've got the Bourbon blues,
you've got holes in your shoes,
but really that's nothing new.
You won't get my pity or my pint,
to stay up all night,
But I've got empathy for you.

It's really such a waste,
when you get that taste,
cus' it always lets you down.
From bad to worse ..
progress in reverse,
walking home from town.
