Today's lesson is about drugs. And OVERGROUND have kindly offered to answer all those questions about drugs that you might have been too embarrassed to ask your parents.
Hey OVERGROUND, are drugs any
good?
Drugs? Drugs are sad. They make you feel so good, and then they
make you feel so sad.
How often do you have to try
drugs before you're hooked?
Drugs: you've only got to try them once. Then you steal from
your cousins, your uncles and your aunts.
And do drugs make you feel ill?
Drugs: give you a pain in the gut. Affect your brain, not to
mention your butt.
But are drugs clever?
Drugs? Drugs are so dumb. But I got me ten dollars and I'm gonna
get some.
Less of a preventative education programme and more of a two minute slice of nouveau-country pop fun, OVERGROUND's `Drugs' flips between Nashville cheesiness and smart VIOLENT FEMMES soul with the coolest keyboard line you've heard this year. And then, hey, like magic, they're soaring through power-harmonied 60s psychedelia with `Winter In My Heart', swirling organs and bombastic guitars and an unseasonably summery blast of good vibrations.
