Can I take it as given that you all love Leatherface? Do we all agree that their 1991 album Mush is one of the greatest of all time? Good, then you'll also love today's song.
Jesse were a trio originally featuring Frankie Stubbs, Peter "Spud" Shields and Colin Cumpson (who was later replaced by Leighton Evans). They were active in the mid to late '90s and released a few eps and a self titled album on Rugger Bugger discs.
They don't get the recognition that Leatherface still do but they were bloody good and their reputation will only be enhanced by the new reissue of their complete discography on double vinyl lp by Little Rocket Records and Rad Girlfriend Records. I've long thought Frankie Stubbs was one of this country's greatest ever vocalists and this collection goes a long way towards proving that claim.
This song is a thing of beauty. It's called Gone Fishing...
LORD AND LADY MUCK AGAIN
ESPECIALLY WANT ME TO BE
LIKE OPEN SESAME
A SEESAW OF A STINKING BORE
THAT WILL CHANGE
LIKE YOU CHANGE THAT DRESS
HAVE I REALLY COME TO THIS?
ARE YOU MISSING ME?
WHILE YOU'RE KISSING THEM
DO YOU SAY THE RIGHT NAME?
WHEN THE DAY FINALLY ENDS
DO YOU LIE AWAKE?
WONDERING IF YOU'VE LOST A BEST FRIEND
WHATEVER!
I'VE GONE FISHING
BUYING SECURITY THINGS
SWEARING DOWN ON YOUR LOVED ONES AGAIN
THEY SHOULD'VE DIED SOME TIME SINCE
IS THERE NOTHING SACRED
IN THIS SUPERFICIAL AND FABRICATED
MORNING AFTER
AT LEAST I'VE NOT COME TO THIS
ARE YOU MISSING ME?
WHILE YOU'RE KISSING THEM
DO YOU SAY THE RIGHT NAME?
WHEN THE DAY FINALLY ENDS
DO YOU LIE AWAKE?
WONDERING IF YOU'VE LOST A BEST FRIEND
WHATEVER!
I'VE GONE FISHING
I'M DYING BECAUSE YOU WANT ME TO BE
ANYTHING BUT ME
I'M AT FAULT A LOT
SO THERE'S ALWAYS HANDS TO WASH
AT LEAST I'VE NOT COME TO THIS
I'M AT FAULT A LOT
