Ophelia's Drinking Song - video

Label: Cherry Red CDMRED232

Extract from minisite for Tender Bruises.

"Haystack - I wrote this on December 30th 1978, making it the oldest song on TBAS. The night before I'd seen Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick in 'The Days of Wine and Roses' on TV. As befits a viewing of a film about a golden couple's descent into booze hell I drank brandy all the way through it and was as smashed as they were pretending to be by the end. I was haunted by a scene where they work on her Dad's farm, trying to dry up and avoid the pressures and temptations of the big City life. They both tumble into this haystack, frolicking I guess you could say...add a bit of scrambled heroin and sexual imagery and there's the song....The version here with New Order reveals my inexperience in the studio, my nerves at being there with former members of a band that I'd hero worshipped and our lack of rehearsal. I like the idea that the great Martin Hannett produced it in his sleep. Respect!"
