Story behind the song

this song has been in the works for a looooooong time, and finally recorded in 2k5.

Lyrics

I bought myself an iron lung, 
I found it at the Army surplus store. 
It's eight feet long and shiny  
and it took five guys to get it through the door.
I turn it on 'round midnight 
'Cause it makes a noise the neighbours can't ignore.

I got it for a C-note 
When the owner of the surplus store kicked off.
It came upon him quickly 
As he ate his rancid dogfood stroganoff.
I polish it on weekends
As I wait for a protracted smoker's cough....


I start to thinkin' as I raise my glass of booze:
I'd like to try it once, before puttin' on my dyin' shoes
I climb inside, and as I take it for a ride
I know- I'll never shake these Iron Lung Blues...
