about

Medical dependency and being at the mercy of drug companies who's livelihood depends on your continuing illness...

lyrics

i'm
finding it hard to rest at night i
just can't get to sleep
and nightmares only scare away
all my counted sheep my
waking hours are drifting by
days fade away
and when i take the papers out can' t
stand the front page
avoid the front page
so i
chucked away the tv
coz all the news is bad
37 different channels
spewing out the same old crap
like..
medicine...
so i
went to see the doctor cos
they’re supposed to heal but
all she said was take these tablets
three times a day with meals
medicine
now i'm on...
m.e.d.i.c.i.n.e
so
slip inside your capsule
safe from all life's spills
soon you will feel so much better
when you're popping pills!
oh
m.e.d.i.c.i.n.e
medicine...
take your pills and you'll be fine

from Thingamejig, released July 1, 2014
Heavily inspired by The Cure yeah why not. I always loved Robert's guitar lines and textures so that's what I was thinking with those distant 'Killing An Arab' guitar chords and mysterious, spooky synth lines.
