Primal Scream are an experimental rockgroup from Scotland formed in 1985, headed by former The Jesus and Mary Chaindrummer (and bassist for The Wakebefore that) Bobby Gillespie. Other members include guitarists Andrew Innes and Robert 'Throb' Young, former Feltkeyboardist Martin Duffy, former The Stone Rosesbassist Gary 'Mani' Mounfield, and touring guitarist and producer Kevin Shields, formerly of My Bloody Valentine. The band was signed to Alan McGee's Creation label until its closure in 2000; they are now signed to Sony/Columbia. Over the years they have shifted from jangly C86 indie popto retro tinged hard rockto being dance/rockcrossover pioneers. In June 2005, Primal Screamplayed a controversial set at the Glastonbury Festival, throughout which Gillespie was playfully abusive to the crowd and was alleged to have made Nazi salutes (during the song 'Swastika Eyes').

Electric Soup Dub Lyrics
Primal Scream
In every hick town in caledonia
Across this pseudo nation
You can see the most fucked up scum
That was shat into creation
Where a blue mckewans lager top equals
No imagination
Youre hunbelievable
Youre hunbelievable
What do they do with all the confiscated bevy,
The polis?
Buckets and bags of it?
Give it to the jakies? nah.
Drink it themselves? mibbe.
Give it back to the retailers
So they can sell it all back to us over again
The cunts (echo)
Youre hunbelievable
Youre hunbelievable
The mystery of scottish sport
Is why we hate the english so.
I love the english very much
As long as they dont fuckin beat us
In the european nations cup
Youre hunbelievable
Youre hunbelievable
Sitting outside wembley in `79,
Jock punks in london, massive carry out
Talking to a guy in an ice cream van
So drunk for weeks and were goin
Way past the point of wantin tickets.
It would be horrendous now if someone
Was to hand you a fuckin ticket
Youd have to leave all the bevy
Outside the grounds by the polis dump bins
No fuckin way!
Ten minutes into the fuckin game
Wed be climbing up the walls to get out.
Fuc-kin hell.
Remember the banner
Alcoholism beats communism,
Well it beats the fuck out of football as well.
Think youre a success
Your psyches a mess
Your economy is in distress
Sittin and waiting for the inevitable shot out
That never comes
Sittin and waiting for the inevitable shot out
That never fuckin comes.
