A voyeur's take on the one night (24 hour?) stand. I think a little part of me has always wanted to do this. Never gotten around to it, though. Incidentally, this song almost prevented me from playing one of my first live shows (with Red Flag and Seven Red Seven). The show was in Utah, and apparently they’re not too fond of the F-word there. Anyway, I had to promise not to play this song before they’d agree to let me perform! Also of note: this song was not included on “In Perspective” because my record label at that time, A Different Drum (also based in Salt Lake City), objected to the lyrics. Hooray for controversy!
lyrics
I didn't claim to be in love. I didn't ask you about your mental capacity. You drink your drink so you won't think. You hold your breath so you don't blink. All you need is a 24 hour fuck. All you need is tonight with me. All you need is a 24 hour fuck. All you need is what I will be.
The beat blasts through your sleeping mind. I watch you dance through blood shot eyes (and I like it). All you need is a 24 hour fuck. All you need is tonight with me. All you need is a 24 hour fuck. All you need is what I will be.
If you die before you wake, you'll find sex a constant state. You will dream of nothing else. You will dream of nothing else. If I wake before I die, I will never wonder why. I will dream of nothing else. I will dream of nothing else. All you need is a 24 hour fuck. All you need is tonight with me. All you need is a 24 hour fuck. All you need is what I will be.

I have been a fan & Echo Image evangelist for over 20 year. I was excited for this new EP. It did not disappoint. This has all the power and synthpop from early releases like Skulk & the Compuphonic LP. I hope a new LP will come from this. Jeff Burson - SYNTHscape radio program
