Well, I like this one! Just trying to capture some of that Getdown Services goodness.
However, a rehearsal room recording failure (well, Andy switched to bass and we both forgot to allow for the enormous bass-end that resulted) meant, despite some last minute EQ fixing, the recording was unusuable, so we had to go back to the drawing board, so you lucky folks get a home studios version instead. It may not have the bite of the live recording, but it sounds nicer :) If anyone wants to see if they can survive the ferocious studio recording, just watch the below video if your region allows you to - please note that audio has been EQed! )!
This song is just about the greed of the middle class wilfully causing climate change. Or its just me goofing around. Your call.
Lyrics
In my Ford Cortina I pull in at petrol station Looking to fill me up with High grade petroleum
I’m drinking petrol I’m drinking petrol I'm drinking petrol from the nozzle I'm drinking petrol from the nozzle
SLURRRP
Lying on the forecourt Flat out on my back now Belly raising skywards Dome like a cathedral
I’m drinking petrol I’m drinking petrol I'm drinking petrol from the nozzle I'm drinking petrol from the nozzle
Time for a Wetherspoons breakfast Can we order offal The petrol in my stomach Makes taste seem less awful

Big booming beat and great rhythmic vocals. I love the production effects too - they give it an industrial feel, less the genre and more like this whole ridiculous thing is happening on a factory floor.
Love the slurps, and really everything else about this glorious absurdity. Be careful though, freak gasoline fight accidents can happen at any time
