Drinkers Peace (Live)

Taken from "Live At The Wheelchair Races" 2003

"At times I wish I was dead
Busy people dancing all over my head
Real shock value with every move they make
Real bad head-ache with every step they take

I get a contact buzz
Can't remember what the problem was
I find it hard to even care
Life was too real 'til you got there

My life is dirt but you seem to make it cleaner
Reduce my felony to a misdemeanor
When I feel sick you're an anti-biotic
Organize my world - my world's pointless
and chaotic"

One of the most heart breakingly beautiful songs ever written. Period. And the live version is just perfect (okay, its recorded a bit wobbly) but the emotion and the crowd response just sends a shiver down your spine. I love the part that goes "buzz,buzz,buzz,buzz,buzz". Simply beautiful. Is it a song about drowning out the pain of loosing someone through drink? Or it could be a song about drink as a crutch. Who knows. All I know is its one of the most heart-effecting songs ever.

Lyrics Unknown.

A live track that, as far as I am aware, does not appear anywhere else but in live format on the Live at the Wheelchair races compilation CD as part of the Hardcore UFO's Box Set. This song has some great guitar playing and even has a phased guitar solo that breaks through from time to time. A very 70s sounding song with a great funky bass line and its a real shame a studio recorded version never saw the light of day. "I am the Bastard!" indeed.
