Tired Lips in the Rain
Tim: drums; bass; trumpet
Andy: rhythm guitar; rhythm guitar; lead guitar

-Transferred by taking the speaker out of a receiver that was playing the old tracks and running that line into our amps. Get it? On site in amp in front of the mike mixing. A cool tune that really gets going! A little noisy though because of the line imbalance between speaker output and amp input. Yet, the noise isn't really noise, it's atmosphere... rain. Sure.
