about

This song was inspired by John Lennon's song “Cold Turkey” which was about his addiction to certain drugs, plus from a Star Trek: The Next Generation's Season one episode “Symbiosis.” The song was acceptable musically to me, but I believe the lyrics could have been better. I took a recorded version I did back in the late 80's on cassette and transferred it over digitally to overdub the backing vocals and drums. The original two tracks had my lead vocal, guitar, and bass already recorded.

This is song #219.

Recorded at The CELL BLOCK Studio in Auburn, WA.

lyrics

WILL YOU FIX MY ARM AND MAKE A LITTLE HOLE?
SHOOT IT ALL UP UNTIL I FEEL NO MORE.
GET IT IN, GET IT UP, AND MAKE ME FEEL MUCH DIFFERENT.
WILL YOU GIVE ME MORE? I'M HOOKED ON IT SO BAD.
WHAT GAVE ME THE START? I WISH I NEVER HAD.
LET ME GO, LET ME DIE, AND MAYBE THEN I'LL FEEL BETTER.

FIX ME UP, SHOOT ME UP, I DON'T CARE.
(FIX HIM UP, SHOOT HIM UP, HE DON'T CARE.)
DIRTY NEEDLES, I'M SO HURT, AND I DON'T CARE.
(DIRTY NEEDLES, HE'S SO HURT, AND HE DON'T CARE.)
PARTY HERE, PARTY THERE, I FEEL SO HIGH, I'M GONNA DIE.

WILL YOU HELP ME DOCTOR? I'M TIRED OF THIS PAIN.
I'M HOOKED ON A DRUG, MAKES MY LIFE INSANE.
GET ME OFF, GET ME CLEAN, AND MAKE ME FEEL MUCH DIFFERENT.
WILL YOU HELP ME PEOPLE? STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOIN'!
IT HURTS ME AS MUCH AS YOU. WHO YOU THINK YOU'RE SCREWIN'?
I AM CLEAN. I FEEL GOOD, AND I'M REBORN AGAIN.

GET ON IT, GET OFF IT, AND I DON'T CARE.
(GET ON IT, GET OFF IT, AND HE DON'T CARE.)
I'M OFF IT. I FEEL GOOD, AND YOU DON'T CARE.
(HE'S OFF IT AND HE FEELS GOOD, AND YOU DON'T CARE.)
YOU'LL GET A.I.D.S., YOU'LL BE DEAD, AND I WON'T CARE. YOU WILL DIE.

WILL YOU FIX MY ARM? I SAY NO I WON'T.
IT'S ALL UP TO YOU. STOP SAYIN' YOU DON'T.
SAVE YOURSELF, SAVE YOURSELF AND MAYBE THEN YOU'LL BE FREE.
WILL YOU FIX MY ARM? NO I NEVER WILL.
I AM OFF A DRUG. YOU ARE ON THE PILL.

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
