    Lyrics:
    Culture sucks down words
    Itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles
    Organise your safe tribal war
    Hurt maim kill and enslave the ghetto
    Each day living out a lie
    Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever
    Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
    Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

      Absolutely buddy. Music has the power to let us be "Better of than dead!" to quote Lou Reed. Somedays I'll literally feel like I can't live another Day, then I'll put some music on, or pick my bass up. An hour later I wonder how I coulda bin so fuckin down and so, so alone in this hateful world. Pick myself up and move on.

I was only four years old, but I remember it playing on the radio all the time while I was riding in the back seat of my father's car in 1992 into 1993. I actually remember climbing the bookcase that my dad's stereo was on just to put the cassette in the stereo. So this song is special to me

      Good comment! I've been around since they were taking off in the early 90s, and they've never lost their creative edge or consistency between the many albums they've released. Also, they've never taken a long "hiatus". Greatest band in the past 30yrs...the only acts that can compete are Texas and Sophie Ellis Bextor.
