And while we're talking about Trainspotting here's another song that went straight from the movie to the dancefloor. This was originally from Iggy's superb Lust for Life album in the seventies and I'd been playing it for ages but the opening scenes of Trainspotting made it into an anthem. Usually there was a moment in the night at The Lizard when you'd play this and Born Slippy and the crowd went mental. You never knew when to stop this beat and we never tried to, keeping the floor packed from start to finish. The Lizard created it's own playlist of anthems and because we spent so much time there we developed our own style of mashing records together that in other clubs would never of worked. And we our policy of DJs only playing half hour sets the night was relentless with tune heavy dancefloor anthems. Sing it, dance it! Drink copious amounts of beer. It works!
Here comes Johnny Yen again
With the liquor and drugs
And a flesh machine
He's gonna do another strip tease
Hey man, where'd you get that lotion?
I've been hurting since I bought the gimmick
About something called love
Yeah, something called love
Well, that's like hypnotising chickens
Well, I'm just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in the ear before
'Cause of a lust for life
'Cause of a lust for life
