album
Familiar To Millions

Gas Panic is perhaps the album's highlight. A menacing death-march of scuttling percussion and discordant guitars, lyrically resplendent in describing the excruciating emotional turmoil Noel suffered at the hands of Cocaine.

Noel "About two years ago, I used to get really bad anxiety attacks. About 4 o'clock one morning, I couldn't get to sleep. Usually I would wake Meg up and she'd have to sit and talk to me all night. But this particular night, she couldn't wake up, or she couldn't be arsed, so I decided to get a guitar out a write a song about what I was feeling. I like it because it's dark"
Flute by Charlotte Glasson.


lyrics

What tongueless ghost of sin crept through my curtains?
Sailng on a stormy sea of sweat on a stormy night
I think he don't got a name but I can't be certain
And in me he starts to confide

That my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And if you hear me tap on your window
You better get on yer knees and pray - panic is on the way!

My pulse pumps out a beat to the ghostdancer
My eyes are dead and my throat's like a black hole
And if there's a god would he give me another chancer
An hour to sing for his soul

Coz my family don't seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
And if you hear me tap on your window
You better get on yer knees and pray
- panic is on the way!...
