Trial Of Affliction And Light Sleeping

Taken from "Fiction Man" 2004

"Kill your desire
With trouble and smoke

The unclearing, the head, the maze
And partial resoundings

Make hideous the family
Obsessed with elections
Make better the place of comfort

Burn it in theater
Burn it on cable
Burn it in religion
Burn it in frozen food
Burn me a copy
Burn it in bacon grease
Burn it for demonstration
Burn in it for your sins
Burn on it on the beach
Burn through it with vibra-rub

Trial of affliction and light sleeping
I need a tour guide for my own head"

I think this is the first "Fiction Man" track to crop up on "A Pollard A Day". Its fuzzy punky affair with distorted vocals and fizzing guitars and a fast tempo. The vocal go a bit Dalek towards the end and its a fine little thrash along with plenty of energy. Great talking too at the end.
