about

After we moved to California, our business owned a building in Indianapolis with a studio/edit suite in it. I'd fly back to have meetings and play gigs with Dude. I made this song about Stu Sutcliffe there with a fretless bass.

lyrics

The Bats and The Rattles
A setlist, you find your way in
You fought your battles
And now you sound a little thin
Without a paddle
And hung on by a molar’s skin
But maybe that’ll
Let your heart out for a little spin

(You believe what you believe)

As cool as shade…
And distant, lonely as an astronaut
And so you played
And shouted spat and drank and fucked and fought
Endless delay
And lasting, everlasting, 'round-the-clock
And to dust...

The Bats and The Rattles
Remembered but forgotten too
You fought your battles
And now you look a little blue
Without a paddle
The river’s up and swirling through
But maybe that’ll
Give your heart a little talking to

Let your heart out for a little spin

As cool as shade…
And distant, lonely as an astronaut
And so you played
And shouted spat and drank and fucked and fought
Endless delay
And lasting, everlasting, 'round-the-clock
And to dust...
