about

Another demo from early ’86, this one beats the official version on the Island album hands down! The basic track was cut literally minutes after the group had learned the tune, allowing you to hear all the spontaneous excitement which usually gets blunted by endless rehearsal, rehashing and overdubbing for official recordings. I remember us having a lot of fun trying to get Aaron to relax and play the drum part as if he were drunk for this track — it worked! This version also features the legendary Chris Hillman of The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers experimenting
with different approaches on mandolin, bass and background vocals — we tried to get all of it in. The experience of sitting behind the board producing a former Byrd trying to make your track sound like contemporary Byrds is an experience I won’t forget too soon.

lyrics

Well, I feel
Like I have to feel
Something good all of the time
With most of life I cannot deal
But a good feeling I can feel
Even though it may not be real
And if a person, place or thing can deliver
I will quiver with delight
But will it last me for all my life
Or just one more lonely night

The lust, the flesh
The eyes
And the pride of life
Drain the life
Right out of me

Well, I see something and I want it
Bam! Right now!
No questions asked
Don't worry how much it costs me now or later
I want it and I want it fast
I'll go to any length
Sacrifice all that I already have
And all that I might get
Just to get
Something more that I don't need
And Lord, please don't ask me what for

The lust, the flesh
The eyes
And the pride of life
Drain the life
Right out of me

And I love when folks
Look right at me
And what I'm doing
Or have done
And lay it on about
How groovy I am
And that I'm looking grand
And every single word
Makes me think I'll live forever
Never knowing that they probably
Won't remember what they said tomorrow
Tomorrow I could be dead

The lust, the flesh
The eyes
And the pride of life
Drain the life
Right out of me
