Carter USM - Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere (1990)

Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine (frequently shortened to Carter USM) were an English indie rock band formed in 1988 by singer Jim “Jim Bob” Morrison and guitarist Les “Fruitbat” Carter. They made their name with a distinctive style of power pop, fusing samples, sequenced basses and drum machines with rock ‘n’ roll guitars and off-beat wordplay-loaded lyrics.

The tequilla sun is rising

and the Harvey’s Bristol moon is sinking

Put the Binatone on snooze

open up some Special Brews

and start drinking

to the biggest mess in town

then put on your dressing gown

screw your head on upside down

drink yourself into the ground



The bottles by the sink

they’re the softest fucking drinks on the market

Yes sir, the Thunderbirds have gone

the wagons rolling on

and I’m on it

And there’s no such thing as Dr. Seuss

vodka and tomato juice

Disneyland or dipsomania

pick a flavour



Anytime, anyplace, anywhere

there’s a wonderful world you can share



Try agrophobic, schizophrenic

paranoid attacks of panic

Epileptic fit of laughter

twenty five million mornings after

And there’s no such thing as Dr. Seuss

vodka and tomato juice

Disneyland or dipsomania

name your poison

pick a flavour



Moonshine, firewater, Captain Morgan, Johnnie Walker,

Southern Comfort, mother’s ruin

happy hours of homeless brewing

Galloways sore throat expectorant,

after-shave and disinfectant,

Parazone and Fairy Liquid

If it’s in a glass you’ll drink it



Anytime, anyplace, anywhere

there’s a wonderful world you can share
