Lyrical Gangster

Heard an old favorite - She Sells Sanctuary on the radio yesterday. And now I'm wondering: is Ian Astbury really singing "any my tax return, makes my back burn?"

Probably not. But I like to think so. Big ole rock star, worried about his tax return. Maybe he's concerned about filing on time while on the road. Or perhaps he's in arrears. And this doesn't give him a headache, or an ulcer; fuck no...it makes his back burn. That's some serious shit. Or maybe in the course of some rock n' roll debauchery someone lit his 40 form on fire, and the burning return alit on his back and burned him.

Yup. That's the kind of stupid thing I think about in my car.
