about

Okay, so, Stones? Sort of. Beatles "Back in the USSR" at points. I think I was listening to David Bowie's "Live at the Beeb" when he covers the Velvet Underground's "White Light, White Heat," kind of punk honky tonk british shaggy thing. White Line Fever, actually was a term used in Keith Richards book to describe dudes who spent too much time out on the road touring, and who eventually lost their shit, or their mind, or their soul. It all sort of tied together at that point, given the narrative. McClintock's bassline and Frank's drums really kick this song to the next level, and -- of course -- that guitar solo.

lyrics

Got off the plane, it was an awful flight
I didn't get a lick of sleep last night
All I thought about was coming on home to you
I know you think love is just a game
But acting like that will drive a man insane
I'm asking you woman, whaddya want me to do...

White lines: gonna kill myself
I don't give a damn about anyone else
White lines: what'd you go and do that for?
You been running round town while I been gone
White Lines: are killing me.
Shoot out the lights and bury me...

Didn't have a thing worth living for
I been down for a year up in Baltimore
I'm asking you honey, when you coming home to me?
I need to know when you'll be home
Cuz I can't spend another night or week alone
Asking you woman, whaddya want me to be...

REPEAT CHORUS
