Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong
One of the two B-sides from the My Iron Lung EP that critics thought were better than B-sides.

the ep
EMI put out two CD singles for “My Iron Lung” so that fans would buy both. This was on the first, with “The Trickster” and “Lozenge of Love”. Reviewers picked it and “The Trickster” as the most developed things there, and reached for Sonic Youth to describe them.
The band have said essentially nothing about it. The lyric reads as obsessive, lovesick longing, which the title had already told you.
