About Loaded

"Loaded" is a single released by the Scottish band Deacon Blue in 1987. The main B-side, "Long Distance from Just Across the Road", appears on all versions of the single, which was released on Cassette and on 7" and 12" vinyl. Ricky Ross has described this stark, echoing song as "[a]n attempt to re-write 'Shore Leave' by Tom Waits." The other songs, "Which Side Are You On" and "Kings of the Western World", appear on the Cassette and 12" versions of the single. In an interview given to the Daily Record in 2012, songwriter Ricky Ross explained about "Loaded" that "I'd left the keys to my flat in Glasgow to the guys in the band and they did a backing track on an old 8 track. I came in and started singing stream of consciousness on it, about some of the people we'd met in the record business. Part of the lyric was lifted from an old evangelical children's hymn, "Christ Is The Answer"". more »

You sigh and you walk
You talk
You care about nothing
Sometimes you're feelin'
That life has treated you wrong
I've got a feeling
You know what the score is

Baby
But it's hard when you're sitting here
Surrounded by friends
I've got a love
That I'll cling on to
And I'll stay there
Stay there till the end

I
Have found
An answer
I don't think you don't care
Just you laugh
'Cause you're loaded
And things are different from there

I
Have found
An answer
I don't think you don't care
Just you laugh
'Cause you're loaded
And things are different from there
You walk and you talk
And you sing and you shout
And you justify
About anything
And you rant and you rave and you hope and you say
Nothing
And you eat and you drink and you dress and you live as if
No one else did baby
No one else like you
Lives out in this world
I've got a love
That I'll cling on to
And I'll stay there
Stay there till the end
'Cause one thing I know is

I
Have found
An answer
I don't think you don't care
Just you laugh
'Cause you're loaded

An answer
I don't think you don't care

And things are different from there

I don't think you don't care
Just you laugh
'Cause you're loaded
