about

Russell watched a documentary about the onset of the AIDS crisis during the 1980s. After crying lots, he wrote this song

lyrics

I heard it came from apes.
SUGAR-COATED.
I walk Kinshasa Highway. I walk Kinshasa!
I meet to meet Roxanne; what did I ask her?
"How's the vaccine? Are you keeping clean? how many have you seen?"
I don't know where those hands have been.
And cos I won't , it infects us both
As I remove my clothes, I shrug and wait to be exposed.

Sugar-coated ball of protein
Sugar-coated ball.
Guess I'll just die in the meantime
While you try to sell me a cure.

They said you could get it by kissing
They should you could get it by touch
And as I was demonstrating
All the policemen wore gloves.

I'll sell you a pill
100 dollar bills
but you'll still be ill
I guess I'll have to await until
we're somehow saved
or maybe spayed
I can only pray
for 4000 people a day.

Sugar-coated ball of protein
Sugar-coated ball.
Guess I'll just die in the meantime
While you try to sell me a cure.

I heard it came from apes.

Three-piece art-noise-punkrock from Brighton. Like a jerky Hot Snakes. Or an angry Talking Heads...
