16. Backing

This is the first time that I have had real backing. I had a drummer and me on rhythm and vocals on "Not a Chance". On "Before You Accuse Me" and "Slip Away" there were Moldy on bass, another guy on lead, me on rhythm and vocals. They just joined up as I was performing. This was very cool.

11 Firewater

Firewater

With firewater I play

Seeing how close I stray

To a state of decay

I look and I won't see

Causing true love to flee

Change self worth to debris

With firewater I play

Seeing how close I stray

To a state of decay

I see and still don't cease

Teasing without surcease

Thirst I cannot appease

With firewater I play

Seeing how close I stray

To a state of decay

I'm flirting with trouble

My game down I double

Turning life to rubble

With firewater I play

Seeing how close I stray

To a state of decay

Down I fall when I play

Ones near and dear dismay

Life and love disarray

With firewater I play

Seeing how close I stray

To a state of decay

A taste of nectar sip

Even strongest could slip

On life losing a grip

With firewater I play

Seeing how close I stray

To a state of decay
