Go Figure - envisaged album artwork (front)
Screw Shareholder Value - CD Cover (front)
Feel No Pain - Picture Disc (Side A)


Drugsar is a song on the SSV album Go Figure. It is the track no.6 on the Feel No Pain LP and the Screw Shareholder Value CD.

The song is very repetitive, sounding flanged and phased, with Eldritch moaning a few "Ohhhh.. Ohh oh ohhhhh..."s throughout the opening part.

The title is a play on the typical US politics term "Drug Czar", but might well refer to UK personnel, too.

A still video with audio from the master CD is down here on the right side to give you an impression.

There is also a nice and interesting article about the entire Go Figure album with some further pictures and some useful links in the HEAVYLEATHERBLOG's bootlegs section under $crew $hareholder ¥alue : “Go Figure”.

Lyrics


SSV - Drugsar (from the SSV Master CD)

We are the Drugsar
We know where the drugs are
We've got a long black car

We are the Drugsar
We know where the drugs are
We've got the blues from Mars

We are the Drugsar
We know where the drugs are
in a long black car

(repeated many times)
