Wrong Drama Addiction (...And Life Starts Here...)

Taken from "Life Starts Here" 2002

"Manstruck-killed by the moonstruck
Fever hits like wide typhoon struck

Gaining steam in forest gloom
Now he belongs to them

Wrong drama addiction
Joycraft is worthless craving
Far too little that I've been saving
Now that i don't have it

What else can be gotten
Make no effort to control
Eternal racket in the soul
Picture me small
For every reason

The coast is wild
Come on one disease
The irritable suits
Destroy immunity

Wrong drama addition...
And life starts here..."

This could possibly be the longest song so far on "A Pollard A Day" (and possibly one of the longest Pollard songs he's ever recorded) clocking it at around 7 and a half minutes. We are in Airport 5 land now and whereas Airport 5 are usually quite poppy this song is long and experimental and wouldn't look out of place on a Circus Devils album. A Hypnotic "And Life Stats Here" is repeated over and over again throughout for the first half whilst Bob spouts on about Moonstruck and Typhoon Struck things and general oddness then we hit a patch of almost David Lynchesque engine hums and steam before the song slowly fades back into view and ends with a great Guitar part. Depending on your mood this song is cool and hypnotic or just an irritation. As I say, it depends on your mood.
