DEAD LETTER OFFICE: TOYS IN THE ATTIC

In this rather loose interpretation of the Aerosmith song, the band kind of flexes it's rock muscles and show that through their generally sloppy approach, cool things can be achieved.  I particularly appreciate Mills' bass picking up the blues style guitar riffs so that Peter can just rock out.  It really drives the tune in a way that Aerosmith couldn't.




TOYS IN THE ATTIC
Lights voices scream
Nothing seen
Real's a dream

Leaving the things that you learn behind (your mind)
Leaving the things that you love your mind
All of the things that you learned to fear
Nothing except for the years

Voices scream
Nothing seen
Real's a dream

Leaving the things that you love behind
Leaving the things that you learn in your mind
All of the things that you learned were real
Nothing except for the years

Voices scream
Nothing seen
Real's a dream

I'm reasonably sure that Peter plays his leads blindfolded and on Jolt cola.  A lot of mashing about in the correct areas, that produces a choppy rock effect.
