You scrubbed yourself over me,
making me feel dirty, a wash of panic
in soapy suds and irritating flakes,
a seventies child with memories
of you in the classroom and digging deep
in the dirt of my stomach to quell
the beast of panic, pushed harder
over and over again till people thought
perhaps I was driven, maybe I was,
but it came from the feelings of being unworthy,
push harder, I may as well be an unborn child
in the womb, push harder,

There is no such thing as an overnight success…not if they are worth anything of true value and not if they have come through everything the world can throw at them and still shrug their shoulders and smile with a glint in their eye and a mischievous song in their heart. For nearly 30 years that sense of beautiful mischief, the sense of wanting to impart some sort of musical heritage onto their fans has seen The Lennerockers celebrate the release of 14 albums and now their 15th studio recording, the superb Rustin’ and Rollin’, will surely have the fans clambering over each other to be taken in hand once again.
