Not featured on any JAMC album and a rather overlooked song, Snakedriver was written and featured on the soundtrack for The Crow, released in 1994. More bluesy than the typical JAMC song, it’s lyrical content remains similar to their style, with an added layer of American sleaze and grit.
I've got syphilitic hetero friends in every part of town
I don't hate them but I know them I don't want them hanging around
I won't roll my bones for every little girl who gets on down
I got space and space got me I should be selling it by the pound
Ever since I heard the voice I thought I had no choice but then I kissed her
I don't mind if I get broken I don't mind if I get fixed
I don't mind if I'm not spoken I don't mind if I get kicks
If I wake up dead I'll wake up just like any other day
And the photographs of god I bought have almost faded away
Everything just passes by I thought it always would but then I kissed her
