about

I don't remember much about recording this demo, but listening back it is one of the more weird ones, and I like it. Must have used some kind of drum machine..and keyboard sample..re-done by the Glenrustles on the "Honey Grease and Neptune" album (1999), our last.

lyrics

JAWS OF LIFE
Oh, I give up, I'm just gonna sit and get stoned all day

Seems like I'm steppin' in dog shit no matter which way I go

I woke up cryin' like a little baby

Now my poor little wife thinks that I'm going crazy
Just for now I swear

But it's going on for hours and hours each day

In the night, the jaws of life

Are taking me down again
Anybody could say that they're really not on top of their game

You gotta figure what you're in it for-
Is it fun or fame?

Is it really necessary to win all the time?

When the only other option is to swim with the slime
Oh, it's everywhere I look

Competition has always bored me sick

So I don't play

But the jaws of life are taking me down again

I can't avoid what I dream or how it makes me feel

I keep on hunting for answers, but it's all too real

And I'm still so far away

I think it's time I remember how to pray
