Doctors of Madness - Waiting

Tapping my feet on main street
Counting the stars in the sky
Stretching my arms and inspecting my palms
And I'm waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting!

Counting my blessings in Paris
Counting my money in Rome
Counting on you to meet me at home
And Im waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting!


Kentucky chicken is dripping
around my ears
Let me down easy before my
mind disappears
rationalize this pageant of pigsties
Definalise t he unthinking grey skies
I'm sitting uneasy upon my throne of fears

Trembling for turn-ons downtown
Dollar-deal Dave and the gang
Devils disciples, religious revivals
Are waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting!

Kentucky chicken is dripping
around my ears
let me down easy before my
mind disappears
rationalize this pageant of pigsties
Definalise t he unthinking grey skies
I'm sitting uneasy upon my throne of fears

I wanna be a part the four beat heart
The rotting role of Rock 'n'Roll
I wanna be a part the lunatic chart
Hey! Somebody stole my Rock 'n'Roll
Ah! But please don't shoot the pianist
If he's on an off-night
No! please don't shoot your children
They're gonna get it on alright
We're gonna get it on tonight

You tear me apart with your stops and your starts
The bombed-out heads of the super dead
And the A&B between they and we
Is the difference in the books we read
Ah! But please don't shoot the pianist
If he's on an off-night
No! please don't shoot your children
They're gonna get it on alright
We're gonna get it on tonight

Great track that confirms the Doctors as 'Fathers of Punk'. Should have been released as a single in 1975.

@Cosmasoniccosmaphone or the missing link between Cockney rebel and the Adverts or between Hawkwind and Ultravox or Roxy and the Sex Pistols?

Fantastic stuff. Totally underrated band.

[RamonesKaraoke]

Been thinking about doing a cover of either this or Bulletin for a while. The thought of playing Stoner's bassline at full speed fills me with fear of failure ...

[clive66swimworldwide]

greatest live band i ever saw..legends

[Cosmasoniccosmaphone]

In a land & time before Punk Rock the Doctors of Madness were the missing link between Ziggy Stardust & The Ramones- saw them loads of times & was a huge fan.

!st time i saw them was supporting The Heavy Metal Kids at St.Albans-1975?

Keep the punk going. True punk songs still aren't mainstream.
