Needles On The Beach - The Song

Music by Bowie/Gabrels/T. Sales/H. Sales.

Lyrics

Instrumental

Reeves Gabrels gives this explanation and comments on the track:
"The title came as a reference to surf music combined with the fact that we kept finding used needles on the beaches. Simple explanation really. Plus, 2 of the chord changes come from Hendrix's 3rd stone from the sun where he says "we'll never have to listen to surf music again"
Ed: Sydney is a beach haven in Australia and is also well known (particularly in the case of the inner city beaches) of having a fairly severe pollution problem
