Listen/purchase: Sore Throat by Jackass Penguins

I still have plans to make this into a reggae song, but it’s probably not going to happen for a while. Until then, enjoy the original recording from 2001.
Lyrics:
I took a trip with my two friends down to the beach
I know that half the girls I see are out of reach
We set up camp we settled down I caught some waves
Late afternoon reflections blinded by the rays

A holiday
Some time away
The crashing waves
At end of day

And through the night the reggae blasted through the tent
The fires blazed the people dazed self-evident
Dixie cups filled high with beer and yellow piss
They were passing around a pipe and flashing tits

A holiday
Some time away
An olive haze
At end of day

At around two the cops arrived and people knew
The night was over and the jubilance was through
I lay alone with a sore throat from singing blues
I fall asleep inside my tent and listen to

The crashing waves
At end of day
I go to face
A holiday

This is another demo from the scrapped “Flat Earth Society” album. This particular song would have been in the same theme as “Honest Engine”. I lost the lyrics sheet, but I can barely decipher the lyrics here. I need to record this one properly, as the melody gets stuck in my head 11 years later.

Washington is really mad, California’s all been had, Oregon is smoking pot, Arizona’s way too hot. I’ve been thru the west, time to pave the rest. Idaho is such a drag, all the guns in Utah sag, in Nevada, lost my cash, Colorado’s smoking hash. I’ve been thru the west, time to pave the rest, I’m sick of the west, time to pave the rest.

I am posting the demo from 2002 again. Today’s version has an extra verse with Nebraska, Montana, Wyoming and New Mexico.

Just wanted to share this once again. Since the new version has been made, I haven’t really listened to the demo. Good stuff.
