He smokes himself into double vision Leaves his mind on an indecision Thinks he's invented imagination Says that god is some relation He leaves his cigarette burning on the desk His clothes and magazines make up such a mess Sitting up in bed, transistor on his chest In quintessence In quintessence He and his friends sit around all evening Leaving their laughter upon the ceiling Seems so funny yet it leaves me yawning Then I find out it's the following morning He says his girlfriend lives so far away Always at a friend's house or on holiday His bible of romance hides itself away In quintessence In quintessence In quintessence In quintessence A 15 year old's browse through life Is fine with his quintessence safe and sound in mind Life's an adolescence from time to time With us all In quintessence In the corner with his book and tissue All he can do is pretend to miss you Closes his eyes as he sees her body Pulls funny faces and that's his hobby On the other hand love ain't a happy word On the other hand love ain't a piece of skirt Makes for something special in your football shirt In quintessence In quintessence In quintessence In quintessence In quintessence In quintessence In quintessence In quintessence In quintessence In quintessence

about

Mike Watt, legendary bassist behind Minutemen, fIREHOSE, Dos, and so much more, is the latest to release a cover of a Squeeze song for Record Store Day. Mike teams up with his Secondmen for a cover of “In Quintessence,” the opening track from Squeeze's 1981 album East Side Story. This is the fifth installment from the Swindles series and was produced and engineered by Squeeze-aficionado Steve Mandel. This is the first time Mike's version of "In Quintessence" has ever been released and was first released as a 45 single, with the vocal version on the A-side and the instrumental version on the B-side, for Record Store Day 2020. The remaining limited edition 45 singles are available to order now directly from Yep Roc.
