Name: Keef of the Sandpaper Factory
Duration: P00H03M17S
Description: Bob Pollard is the greatest American songwriter of his generation, but Mitch Mitchell brought the ROCK: the Keef to Bob’s Mick. With the ever-present dangling cigarette, low slung Les Paul, and windmills, Mitch cranked out riffs with the ultimate rock and roll attitude. Raise the goblet of rock. This song is for him.

Bob Pollard is the greatest American songwriter of his generation, but Mitch Mitchell brought the ROCK: the Keef to Bob’s Mick.

lyrics

Nineteen something and five
Becomes nineteen something and nine
In the blink of an eye

Your hometown is never right for you
When you need a flipped out world
Plug that guitar in and give us hope
Cigarette trick dragon puffing smoke

The riff machine
Unleashed
The riff machine
Set free
From the sandpaper factory

Being famous, it just makes no sense
It’s a terrifying experience
There’s just one way out of lethargy
Crank that stack and give us something to believe

The riff machine
Unleashed
The riff machine
Set free
From the sandpaper factory

Nineteen something and five
Becomes twenty something and nine
In the blink of an eye
