Blow-Up! — 28 September 2025

You know that terrifying moment when the fridge is empty, the table is dry, and the petrol station is ten miles away in the rain? That’s this track.

An oi-skank-dub meltdown, where boots stomp, guitars scratch, and the echo screams louder than your sober heartbeat. It’s the sound of a skinhead without his lager, fighting shadows, yelling at streetlights, and negotiating with the universe for just one more pint.

It’s angry. It’s funny. It’s thirsty.
Raise your empty glass — this is beer withdrawal in dub.

Lyrics:

Guitar scratches with reverb
Boots on pavement… dark road growls…
A shadow whispers: “No more bottles now…”

Empty table… glass turned dry,
Shattered pieces, make me wanna cry.
No foam, no head, no golden flood,
Just hollow silence pumping through my blood.

Long road crawling, petrol miles away,
Darkness mocks me, voices start to say:
“Oi, you’re weak without the brew,
Your fists are heavy but your throat stays blue!”

Tick… tock… bootsteps slow…
Heartbeat louder, ready to explode!
Guitar stabs skank on the off-beat… bass rumbles…

No way! Oi vey! I am out of beer again!
The bottle is empty and I already feel the pain!
No way! Oi vey! I am out of beer again!
This road to the station is my bloody ball and chain! 

Streetlights flicker, laugh at my rage,
Beer withdrawal rattling the cage!
Every step a war, every breath a fight,
Give me lager or I’ll smash this night!

– Empty bottle! (echo: bottle… bottle…)
– Hollow head! (echo: dead… dead…)
– No more beer! (echo: fear… fear…)
– Fill me instead!

No way! Oi vey! I am out of beer again!
The bottle is empty and I already feel the pain!
No way! Oi vey! I am out of beer again!
Skin and boots marching lonely in the rain!
