about

Dive Bar / Dead Town kinda sums up what it’s like to play in bars, clubs & pubs in under 4 mins. Drawing inspiration from long nights in our regular haunts such as The Scenic Inn & The Three Oaks, some nights we would play for hours to little response then “like a flick off the switch man the thing went off” This title has almost took on a different meaning with the onslaught of the pandemic & the closure of our industry.

Written & Performed by Chris Madden
Recorded & Mixed by Chris Madden at Madden Studio

lyrics

Dive Bar / Dead Town

(Verse 1)
Well The Bartenders drunk sinking shots of Petrone
Theres boards on the windows & a chain on the phone,
Floor smells of bleach & a little something more,
Theres 45 chairs but i don't know what for,

(Chorus)
Where’s the crowd, Where’s the sound,
Dive Bar In A Dead Town

(Verse 2)
Well Suzi’s on the table dress up around her face,
She’s got it all on show, tattoo’s and lace,
We’ve played all the cash songs & it ain’t half time,
There’s old timers shooting pool tequila & lime,

(Chorus)
Where’s the crowd, Where’s the sound,
Dive Bar In A Dead Town

(Bridge)
Well I’m tired off playing to TV’s & Clocks,
And I’m tired off Shitter’s with no doors or locks,

(Verse 3)
Sweat 2:30 for a 30 second cheer,
Playing for tips & a free cold beer,
Ain’t no applause just a rumble & cough,
then like i flick off a with man the ting goes off,
flick off the switch man the thing goes off,

(Chorus)
There’s the crowd, There’s the sound.
Dive Bar In A Dead Town
