Stream "The Diamond," via Western Addiction's upcoming album 'Psychedelic Munitions:' ffm.to/thediamond
"We wanted to take a shot at making a real stomper in the spirit of AC/DC. I was watching some videos of them playing small theaters in the 70s and they were just incredible, a real “band.” This song is about Bon Scott. He was a glowing figure, a one-of-a-kind showman. It's tough to compete with Angus, but Bon was a special creature and deserves the shine. The video spans from Scotland (the birthplace of members) to Australia (the country for which they’re known)." - Western Addiction
Production: Jim Mitchell - @jimbobmitch & Sean D. Johnson - @sean_d_johnson
Editing: Jen Bail - @jloubail
Don't miss the album 'Psychedelic Munitions,' out May 22nd: ffm.to/psychedelicmunitions
LYRICS:
Lit a cigarette off a candelabra
Split the sea like a hot piranha
A set of pipes, I come in peace
And I’m here to please
Care to dance, I want to be your mate
I’m a bronc and a horse wheelie
Step aside, I’ll deliver a baby
You’re a diamond, you’re a diamond
Punched a panther in the neck, sent him running
Wasn’t me, he had it coming
Kiss of scotch, bon vivant
It’s time to shine
I’m the anchor to the firefly
Older brother and the other two guys
I make ‘em smile, I’m buck wild
I’m the problem child
Care to dance, I want to be your mate
Skintight britches, hair with flair
Higher voltage and a little prayer
You’re a diamond, you’re a diamond
I’m no thin white duke, nice and firm
Lumberjack with a mean sunburn
Kiss of scotch, bon vivant
It’s showtime
I’m trash, that became a statue
Riff raff, I stand and deliver
I‘m brash, with perfect presence
I’m fast, silhouette of my essence
Below the world to the tippy top, got
Iggy’s shirt and I’ll clean your clock
You’re a diamond, you’re a diamond
One warning, one invitation
Scrap pile to high rotation
You’re a diamond, I’m a diamond, we’re diamonds
I’m the lion which became a man
Big Ronnie with the lay of the land
Got you all within my grasp
Bet your ass I’m the people’s champ
