Sin (Mark Burgess and Yves Altana)

Notes by Mark - For the most part the bulk of the idea came together quickly one night when I was playing the acoustic. As usual I had too many ideas in it all at once and Yves suggested we simplify it and changed the chorus tempo to 3/4, which I liked immediately. His lead guitar out-tro is one of the highlights of the album for me. Lyrically it's a swipe at tabloid morality.

Laugh until the legs that hold you up are shaking
Laugh until your fragile bones are almost breaking
Turn it up and crank it out
The neighbours gonna scream and shout
Let's blow their holy windows out
Let's sin

Eat until the yearning satisfies the needing
Eat until the frenzy satisfies the feeding
Dickheads want to drag you down
The demons want to pull you in
And everything the wallow in
Is sin

I'm a sinner

Do what you want
Do what you want now
