| The Amyl Nitrate Dreams Of Pat Robertson Recorded for Mercury but only the Mitchell Froom version was officially released as a b-side to the UK Johnny Mathis' feet CD & cassette singles. A fantastic version of this from the April 1992 Kevin Killen sessions was released as part of the Mercury band demos tour CD in September 2008.. It has never been played live as far as I know. An early solo demo of this, maybe dating back to late 80s, with different lyrics was titled |
| Did you see me in your shifting curtain
I was busy taking a furtive peek inside Open up the lights of your unpredictive sea At your lovely freeways burning with innocence At your lovely chain stores levelling the horizons like A-bombs At your run-down streets long abandoned By the few that claim that they saw me By a few they claim that eyes were opened No close friends I swear no one saw me My Boy Scout badge I got for not feeling a thing My golden future with its wild cherry flavored hole My yellow ribbon, my yellow streak, my big stick My big time with the pony's oldest trick Won't keep the grains of my soul from passing through the sieve Won't keep me from begging for something I know you'll never give And anyway, I'm probably gonna just steal I guess I might be okay if all I wanted was a thrill No close friends Yeah I might be okay if all I wanted was a thrill I saw the black in your shifting curtains I saw you tighten up a drum and faded getaway I watched with pain, I watched with lust your lousy acting You're a cloud of dust and whenever you speak it's a ~ to see Saying eventually you're gonna have to give up No close friends Yeah I swear I never give up |
