lyrics

Venlafaxine
Enters the mainstream
The Ritalin Nation
Gives standing ovation
In pursuit of a new dream

Venlafaxine
Smothering our scream(s)
Are my emotions
A chemical ocean
Caught in a moonbeam?

I tried it once
I took it twice
The side effects
Are very (oh so) nice.

Venlafaxine
Emotional vaccine
Striped of emotion
Love is a notion
Pain is a bee's sting

I tried it once
I took it twice
The side effects
Are very (oh so) nice.

Venlafaxine
My doctor's wet dream
Placating his patience
And pharmacy's agents
And governments are pleased.

I tried it once
I took it twice
I took it us the ass
It was oh so nice!

Belter UK

With lyrics sharper than razor-wire and tunes that stick the boot in, Belter is punk for grown-ups who like a dance.

Their first single "TV Junkie" was released in 2012, gaining worldwide airplay and acclaim.

It was followed in January 2013 by a 3-track EP, ‘Invisible Cat’, which sees the band’s trademark sound expanded with a little help from their friends on strings, brass and slide guitar.
