Better Off Blue
By Talisker
24 April 2007
I wrote this on a diet of cold turkey a short while ago.  Some will get it...many will not...hey ho!

This is so raw that it hasn't even been harvested yet. 

Oli

Sick! Sick! Random Interference,

I’ve had a skullful of you

Flash! Flash! Then floods

Better off blue

 

Bastard! Bastard! Gave me this,

A curse upon you

Fuck your miracle medicine!

Better off blue

 

Effects or, what?

Ex-Hell true,

Worse Hell now though!

Better off blue

 

Dizzy, Dizzy, Sick fits,

balance gone too

Listen every mother’s child

Better off blue

Yes, sometimes the treatment is worse than the problem. For me it was the eyesight - I could see a fatigue pattern (like after you've stared at a lightbulb or the sun) all the time. 
 
Raw, but still flavourful Oli!
Kickass stuff

OK, well this is definitely not one for the cash machine. Unless there is a long queue and you want a break. 
Can't empathise but I can sympathise.

Raw but powerful Oli - this really does have something to it. I've come back to it a few times now. With Jane - can't empathise but can sympathise.
