Fast Lane Junkies
- The Tydon Docks

Shootin' up in the fast lane
Shootin' up in the fast lane
Just been down to Brisbane
Now we're ridin' the white train
Shootin' up in the fast lane
Goin' faster than a jet plane
Shootin' up in the fast lane
Shootin' up in the fast lane

High drivin' is insane
Shootin' up in the fast lane
In the thunder and hard rain
Shootin' up in the fast lane
Put a spike into my vein
Feel the rush into my brain
'Sister Ray' is playin'
Shootin' up in the fast lane

Flash of blue in the windscreen
Hear the squeal of the siren
Sqaud car in our slipstream
Piggies havin' a wet dream

Put a foot on the pedal
Press it down to the metal
We blow outta Gatton
Like the steam from a kettle
We been down to Brisbane
Where we went to see a man
Where we stood in the Valley
With our money in our hand
Then back on the highway
Head back to the Range
3 bags full of powder
And $1.20 change
Yeah, 3 bags of powder
That's 3 bags of fun
And the Warrego is looking like
the barrel of a gun

Shootin' up in the fast lane
We're goin' home
We're goin' home in the fast lane

The sound on this song is pretty cool. Charmingly lo-fi. The melody is simple. As in Ramones simple. So: good!

The extended guitar-squealing outro is good. I had to go and listen to Sister Ray halfway through this, and then Sweet Jane. I can't hear the challenge being done here.

Bold and obvious, but that's not necessarily a bad thing for the type of song you're trying to do. I wish you'd managed to coax a little more bite and menace into your guitar tones. These lyrics and arrangment combined with, say, Ken's guitar tone might have really added up to something special. Your panache for codas serves you well here, as it creates one final push of momentum into the ending. Well done. (Also, what's up with the nearly one full minute of silence at the end? I'm not penalizing you for it; just curious.)

And now... The shadow entries!
