Track 11 (final track) from "Strange Cousins From The West" released today, July 14th. Fantastic gatefold sleeve with notes, artwork & thought put into it.

----

Lyrics

I send pictures through the mail
Well documented & very detailed
To politicians, big celebrities
But none of them are believing me
And I await their response
Some send none, most send cops
But man it's a dire situation
And I will risk the public humiliation

Sleestak lightning on my trail
It's a dire situation, they are on my trail

West Virginia has it's Moth Man
Pan-Handlers got their Skunk Ape
But I have a tazer & night-vision goggles
Costco rolls of black duct tape
It's got red eyes, it's got razor claws
It's got green skin, no it ain't a meth-head
And after studying it's behaviour, objectively & critically
I believe I have a reliable method

  • Only Clutch can make music about fictional monsters from an old TV show sound so great. Fantastic band, and song.

    Also, the first bit of this song, lyric-wise, is a rehash of "I Send Pictures" from the second Jam Room release.

  • I had no idea about the lyrics reworking, my Jam Room came on a white-label CD with no artwork courtesy of River Road. Never heard "I Send Pictures", wasn't on my copy!

  • this is not the same song the lyrics are differant...or well some of them. They did this on Pure Rock Fury and Jam Room with a song called sink 'em low or sinkemlow as it apears on pure rock. As is the case this time its a reworked song differant sound and differant lyrics. Amazing how they can do that and make both sound fantastic.

  • Man, I had no idea there was a reworked "Sinkemlow" either. And here was me thinking I was Uber-fan! I'll have t get the other version of Jam Room to hear them. Cheers for the info.

  • Clutch, like most good artists are very hard to keep track of. Imports and unreleased stuffs. Clutch has tons of rare songs out there. I'm like 3 or 4 CD's behind now lol. TY goatboy.

  • sleestack..

  • NEEDS MOAR COWBELL!!!

  • @Goatboy73 You can't be a Uber fan and not have Jam Room...lol.

  • clutch is the only band that can cover the're own songs!

  • @SymbioteIII A lot of people cover blues standards without obvious nods the the original; and I don't say that in a cynical sense.

    Give the original another spin, its definitely the same vocal hook, but Clutch totally made it their own on this track.

  • @bews522a I don't see the similarity in songs. Just the name. Sleestak Lightning is a reworking of The Drifter by Clutch--different lyrics.
