I guess I should of been more clear. I meant sound and lyrics. I believe Afterhours is, because it has the sound and the lyrics, pure amphetamine filth and the most amphetamine fuelled.boudicca wrote:Yeh but... sorry, I thought you were talking about the actual sound...nick the stripper wrote:Really?

i read von say that "kiss the carpet" was an exercise in writing lyrics purely for the sound of the words themselves. however that doesn't preclude those words being about amphetamines; certainly for me the feel of "kiss...." and that of the whole of The Reptile House EP is drenched in speed.
without wanting to enter into debates about lyrics i wouldnt want to say which songs were or werent about speed; but amphetamine fuelled must cover 99% if not all of them.

Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

I can't see any references to speed in Kiss. Just because 1959 And All That say so, I just see it as sex.
I could be wrong, but still.
Doctor Jeep always strikes me as a speed song, or some other stimulant. The comedown being I Was Wrong, then Afterhours as you're awake for days.
So my answer is On The Wire.

Train should be on that list, but since it wasn't I went for Afterhours

Logic, in this case, but I'd be tempted - ahahaha - to reference Adrenochrome? Different drug, same ethics?

Actually, I 'm going to put forward the proposition that Ribbons is quite a speed fuelled song..
Though not the initial rush of speed but rather the effects of being awake for two days when your mind is warped and you begin spouting the most grandious of ideas to an audience that really hasn't got a clue what you're wittering on about and you are borderline speed psychosis..
Not that I have any idea what that feels like....
Anyone that's MY tuppence....

Exactly. For me, besides the songs mentioned, MORE is the song when I read the lyrics though many of you people might not agree.nick the stripper wrote: I'm sure there's more.
"as we walk on the floodland"
In terms of the 'up', then Floorshow, surely? And Body electric? Perhaps even Lucretia (methedrine = methamphetamine, I think?)
In terms of being 'down', strung out, paranoid and perhaps psychotic, then Afterhours, yes, and Ribbons, yes, but also On the Wire, possibly Lights, and definitely Possession.
All great songs, too. Alright, all great songs plus Possession.

Not having any experience on this myself, but I'm guessing Afterhours because I'm so very fond of that one

I was going to add some more songs to the poll after getting some suggestions, but it appears that I can't edit the poll.

the only thing they ever did that came close to capturing the sleazy speed-fuelled vibe of (the 82 version of) body electric and adrenochrome...

Now, you see, I prefer the remake of Body Electric.
That 12" single seems to describe, to me anyway, a goth night whilst on speed.
Body And Soul: "goths dancing, but not too fast.. yet.."
Body Electric: "Wahoo! Jump like fuck, and watch out for Francis!"
Train: "Keep on going, faster, faster, while the speed high lasts.."
Afterhours: "Bloody hell, I'm tired.. why can't I close my eyes for a moment?"
