Benny J Ward - Scratch That Itch

Details

Description

Cheersquad Records and Tapes say 'You gotta scratch that itch baby'! Coming in at 2.10 this garage pop gem has all the distinctive characteristics of a Benny J Ward number.
Upon first listen, you get that feeling that you’ve just slipped into a well worn boot. It springs, jumps and swaggers along with true BJW Pink House distorto charm.

Maybe you can hear the Buzzcocks fighting with The Shivvers? Maybe you
can feel the grit of the New York subway handrails mixed with Mount Helena’s finest Rosie’s Chicken. Who know’s, but there’s definitely something in the water he’s drinking…

Get to it, get down, Scratch That Itch Baby!!

Lyrics
I sit and listen to the radio station
It’s the same song every time
I need something to numb my mind
In a state of confusion
Under an illusion
With the sonic imbalance I see
Just something to do in my sleep
Coz I’ve lost track of counting sheep
You gotta scratch that itch
You gotta deal with it
You gotta scratch that itch
You gotta deal with it
I sit and wonder as the world’s going under
Is it me who is losing my mind
Could it be I’m just wasting my time
Could it be I just lost my shine
You gotta scratch that itch
You gotta deal with it
You gotta scratch that itch
You gotta deal with it
You gotta scratch that itch
You gotta deal with it
You gotta scratch that itch
You gotta deal with it
