This track started as an idea to turn Monty on the Run into something that sounded like Nine Inch Nail’s Head Like A Hole – mainly because I thought the title Head Like A Mole was really funny.

It didn’t work out that way in the end, but I figured Jinks could fit the bill. I always loved Hülsbeck’s music, but I never liked the game. I remember thinking the physics on the ball were strange, and the paddle never seemed to do what I wanted it to do. Hence the somewhat critical lyrics. 😊

Lyrics:

Oh god, money spent on this shoddy game
You thought it would be like Breakout, but it’s not the same
The paddle shifts again, the ball’s still alive
Another point, while you fight to survive

This ain’t Breakout
No, this ain’t Breakout
But you wish you’d bought that game instead
This ain’t Breakout
No, this ain’t Breakout
This is Jinks and it does in your head

There are too many holes
And shitty controls
How the hell is this game supposed to be played?
There are too many holes
And shitty controls
Why the hell was this game even made?

Go down before that ball will swerve
It’s going to get right on your nerves

Oh god, now you’re tearing out your hair
This game is crazy playing, it’s not even fair
The paddle shifts again, and you don’t know why
One more level of this and you’ll probably cry
