OTS: Bedstars (School 30.08.2014)

Part two of my surprisingly relaxed night on the town – I swung by School to say hi to some bud. No intention of going in – especially since The Molds were a no-show once again. Just wanted to get my lurk on. But alas, I was accosted into School by none other than its owner – they might as well been holding me at gunpoint telling me to film. So I gave the Bedstars a bit of my love. A smidget of my love.

Even amidst all the slurring and shapelessness of their set the Bedstars remain a gem of a band that knows how to play any given song. And yeah, as they even admit themselves, they need some new material – but ‘Booze Hound’ is a dirty little gem of a song – feel the inebriation in those lyrics below….

if you give me some i\’ll ask for more
just bring the beers and close the door
guess i gotta think less and drink more
\’cause the gang\’s inside just started the night
wow tonight

i love it when you turn into to a thieve
just take me right into your sleeve
look at your face it\’s full of grace
tell me you won\’t shrink in any case

but if i fall into unconsciousness
just give a bath of beers and whisky
if i fall down and i die
you know there\’s a medicine can make me alive
again

the riff i used is not mine
its by a band called count five
now i am gonna count to five
1,2,3,4,5, now

i can hear the clock is ticking
i can feel my stomach kicking
if i puke it\’s nothing new
if i get drunk just put me in the trunk
and drive

but if i fall into unconsciousness
just give a bath of beers and whisky
if i fall down and i die
you know there\’s a medicine can make me alive
again

i really want that magic water
being conscious is such a torture
i feel so dry i feel so thirsty
give me some to kill my misery
