lyrics

The tacky spendour of a seedy hotel
a dead carnation in a ragged lapel
I could tell from your demenour
that once your life was cleaner
Lord of the board
always struck the right chord
temptation makes you bored
cocky never shocking
in your fishnet stockings
The Faint flicker of a bright past
you nailed your colours to the tallest mast
The Faint flicker of a bright past
shame it was never built to last
The tacky spendour of a seedy hotel
a dead carnation in a ragged lapel
I could tell your life was cleaner
till the dabs and crabs catapulted you to hell!!!

about

The Scratch St Albans, UK

A rock band from St.Albans & Firm believers in DIY ethic they released their 1st single as 7” vinyl only in 2002 & was stocked by Rough Trade in London.

An amalgum of T.Rex, Velvet Undergroud & other good things plus a big dollop of themselves. Eccentric english rock‘n’roll, with weird catchy riffs. Dark & other times funny, they don’t do po-faced indie thank god! [Marco Pirroni, The Wolfmen]
