lyrics
somewhere in the distance both forward and back
I see the vision b4 me of a heart attack
driven on by the wolfpack
deep down in the dips
fl oat the street like a zombie
with my arthritic hips
they say shouldnʼt feel worthless
just live a pretence?
cos behind my successes
there is circumference
My Rotten Soul My Rotten Soul
My Rotten goal My RockʼnʼRoll
been feelin so tired but just cannot rest
her head is a fi re inside my chest
been kissing the babies
been linin the streets
lookin out for a reason
that is mine to eat
I see the vision b4 me of a heart attack
driven on by the wolfpack
deep down in the dips
fl oat the street like a zombie
with my arthritic hips
they say shouldnʼt feel worthless
just live a pretence?
cos behind my successes
there is circumference
My Rotten Soul My Rotten Soul
My Rotten goal My RockʼnʼRoll
been feelin so tired but just cannot rest
her head is a fi re inside my chest
been kissing the babies
been linin the streets
lookin out for a reason
that is mine to eat

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]
