about

recorded live in the kitchen - a touch of unplugged electric guitar overdubbed.

lyrics

give me a smile
just make it a cheap one
open wide and i'll make you rich

look at the rats hanging on the corner

i'm carrying cash covered in cocaine blood stains
i'm strolling these shitty streets
and i'm blowing smoke chains

and the rats hanging on the corner

give me a sign
just make it a clear one
never mind about all the small print
it'll be fine
like the piss soaking up in the back of my jeans
do i look like i could care?

it's a dirty life for you
a dirty life for me
the more you clean it up
the stronger they grow back with their immunity
it's a dirty life for you
a dirty life for me
the more you soak it up
the stronger you'll become

i'm thinking unspeakable thoughts almost all the time
she behaves so very well
in my dirty mind

like the rats hanging on the corner

don't give me the vaccine even if i look a bit queasy
i don't want to be cured before i catch the diseases
from the piss soaking up in the back of my jeans
do i look like i could care?

it's a dirty life for you
a dirty life for me
the more you clean it up
the stronger they grow back with their immunity
it's a dirty life for you
a dirty life for me
the more you soak it up
the stronger you'll become

look at the rats hanging on the corner

the yes mess UK

Formed by songwriter Danthedan - The Yes Mess is a rock and roll band that contains three bass players.

Fortunately one is contained behind a drum kit and another behind an acoustic guitar; the tallest actually plays the bass.

Add to that: An idiot savant accordion player, some dancing with flamingos and a bumble bee of electric guitar.

The sum pulses and swarms.... ... more
