Description:
This is about the gaunt junkies that haunt Camden and the West End of London. I won't get on my soapbox about heroin, I'll just say that for every Keith Richards there's more than a thousand wasted individuals who are robbing their mums for another fix.Lyrics:
Skeleton Jack wants some smackand he’ll do anything to get it. Well, he wants to get clean but the streets are mean and somehow unforgiving Skeleton Jack Skeleton Jack Can’t stop, must dash Gotta get some cash There’s a monkey needs a feeding Gonna pimp my ass For a bag of grass Is there anything here worth stealing? Skeleton Jack Skeleton Jack You become the drug and the drug becomes you You become the drug and the drug becomes you All I wanted to be was like Lou Reed well he gave it so much glamour but the word going down in Camden Town is 6 months in the slammer Skeleton Jack Skeleton Jack You become the drug and the drug becomes you You become the drug and the drug becomes you Hardware:

All I can say Is my best friend died of a heroin overdose. It hit me hard, Its true the draw of the underground cool musician on smack seems appealing but few realize that heroin is a drug that has taken down the strongest .. Dont matter what social standing you come from it can consume you like a fire and if you can t kick it like 99% of all junkies it will kick you.. Thanks for this song!

Catchy tune carrying a serious message. Very nicely done - like it a lot.

song and performance with great lyrics too.... such a 'clean' sound on all fronts despite the subject. It's quite relevant to me at the moment, as someone I know has really gone over the top because of drink and smoke and it's kicking him now big time, cheers M

Quite impressed with your diction of how you get such great flavor in melody in lyrics, beat, guitar the works.
Great pop - rock singing I must say! Quite an infectious rock tune.
Way to go KB!

Love the song. I've never met a Keith Richards, but I have met a few addicts and Heroin does turn them into skeletons who only exist for the next fix.
Thanks

Catchy melody, well performed - but the big strength is in the lyrics.
Put any bunch of musicians together and you'll find someone who has a bad story about heroin and friends.
This is put together really well - powerful words.

Wow man, this is really great!
I love the arrangement, and your singing is top-notch.
I lived the nightmare you are speaking of way back in 1969-1972. This tune tells the truth, no holds barred. KUDOS!
Be well!
