Written about a promoter in Belgium that we played for and the night we played for him, which involved having the Police trying to shut the gig down and 2 Sick Monkeys refusing to stop playing their set.
lyrics
Decrepit bedsit, strength unbearable
Brightly coloured shirt, eating like an animal
Rose Tattoo and Chopper Reid, harden the fuck up
Sux to be you, living with a speed freak
Police. Standoff.
Creeping in my flesh, burning buggery
Climb onto your mattress, nauseous caress
Yellow fingers, pry at virgin skin
Eyes high nerves wide, never the same again
PHILTHY’S.MATTRESS.
