Methamphetamine Blues: same on Weird Chill as Bubblegum?

[username2500]

Is the song Methamphetamine Blues the exact same on Here Comes that Weird Chill as on Bubblegum? Something I've long wondered. My ear can't tell any difference

[Grumpella]

It's the same, you're not missing anything.

I've always wondered who Vicky referenced in the song was. That song has loads of lovely memories for me, got a copy of it before ... Here comes thar weird chill was released when Queens played Slane Castle supporting the chilli peppers, a roadie handed out a compilation cd of all the Queens side projects to people in the front few rows.

What Vicky reference? I don't see it in the lyrics (as per Google search). Funny looking at the lyrics now, I hear "Johnny lawman" not "Tall lawman" and took "Johnny" to be like a generic name of any police officer.... wonder what he'll have to say about this song in the upcoming book!? Also, I hear "until I lose" rather than "Tell all the news"... I like my lyric better!

... oh wait a minute, looked to the lyrics on OneWhiskey site rather than what google turned up. Much more reliable source, certainly. Yep, one whiskey got 'John' not 'tall', and 'until I lose'.

Methamphetamine Blues
Mark Lanegan

Wake up
Wake up
Children don't ya hear me comin'
Get up
Get up
Because I got to have the honey
And I don't want to leave this heaven so soon
Rollin' children keep on rollin'
Rollin' children keep on rollin'
Keep the light turned low and the back door open
My love rain down like sugar so sweet
(got what you want, so come and get it)
Yes children I will
Tall lawman rides
With his uniform clean, shine on his shoes
My radio plays
Methamphetamine blues
And tell all the news
I'm rollin' just to keep on rollin'
Wake up
Children
Get right soul church, keep a lock on the kitchen
Do risks for your daddy
(I'll do it daddy)
Keep your eyes wide open and my shotgun loaded
Cause I don't want to leave this heaven so soon
Rollin' just to keep on rollin'
Rollin' just to keep on rollin'
Rollin' just to keep on rollin'
My love rain down like sugar so sweet
(got what you want, so come and get it)
Yes baby
Tall lawmen rides
With his uniform clean, shine on his shoes
My radio plays
Methamphetamine blues
And tell all the news
I'm rollin just to keep on rollin'
Rollin just to keep on rollin'
Rollin just to keep on rollin'
I don't want to leave this heaven so soon
Rollin just to keep on rollin'
Rollin just to keep on rollin'
Rollin just to keep on rollin'
Rollin just to keep on rollin'
I don't want to leave this heaven so soon

Methamphetamine Blues
(Lanegan)

(Hit it)
Wake up
Wake up
Children don't you hear me coming
Get up
Get up
Because I got to have the honey
And I don't want to leave this heaven so soon
Rolling children keep on rolling
Rolling children keep on rolling
Keep the light turned low and the back door open
My love rain down like sugar so sweet
(got what you want, so come and get it)
Yes children I will
John lawman rides
With his uniform clean, shine on his shoes
My radio plays
Methamphetamine blues
Until I lose
I'm rolling just to keep on rolling
Wake up
Children
Get right soul church, keep a lock on the kitchen
Do this for your daddy
(I'll do it daddy)
Keep your eyes wide open and my shotgun loaded
Cause I don't want to leave this heaven so soon
Rolling just to keep on rolling
Rolling just to keep on rolling
Rolling just to keep on rolling
My love rain down like sugar so sweet
(got what you want, so come and get it)
Yes baby
John lawman rides
With his uniform clean, shine on his shoes
My radio plays
Methamphetamine blues
Until I lose
I'm rolling just to keep on rolling
Rolling just to keep on rolling
Rolling just to keep on rolling
I don't want to leave this heaven so soon

those official lyrics are actually from Mark, so they would be the ones to go by! Hopefully we'll get all the albums once the book comes out in June.
