Lyrics that stick

In the cheap seats where murder breeds
Somebody runs out of breath
Sleep is a luxury they don’t need
A sneak preview of death

One of my favourite performances from the old grey

I was unaware of AD - that’s a great album. Interesting that they never seemed to gain much recognition - their sound doesn’t seem far off many other better known bands. Will be exploring more of their oeuvre now, thanks (tho it seems like The Untidy Suicides… is probably their best album?).

Revenge Fantasies of the Impotent runs it a very close second IMO.

I guess they just peaked at the wrong time, not much market for their style by then.

Yeah, I guess Grunge had taken over at that point.

On a related note, have you heard Green River - Rehab Doll? It’s interesting, you can hear the punk-grunge transition.

I have not, something I shall endeavour to correct :+1:

This article does a good job of telling that story through the words of the musicians themselves.

That’s really interesting, thanks.

You must, post-haste.

I want to lie
Shipwrecked and comatose
Drinking fresh
Mango juice

Goldfish shoals
Nibbling at my toes

Fun, fun, fun
In the sun, sun, sun

You can save your money cos you’ll never save your looks.

We owe you nothing, you have no control
You are not what you own

Made me think of this

They’re playing in the sun and having fun, fun, fun
Till Daddy takes the gun away

Give him water when he gets thirsty
Give him whisky when he gets dry
Give him a tincture when he gets sickly
Give him the graveyard when he die

The smiths
Stop me if you think you’ve heard this one before

I smelt the last ten seconds of life
I crashed down on the crossbar
And the pain was enough to make a shy, bald, Buddhist reflect
And plan a mass murder

Does that explain Morrissey?

Soup is good food (we don’t need you any more)
You made a good meal (we don’t need you any more)
Now how does it feel (we don’t need you any more)
To be shit out our ass
And thrown in the cold like a piece of trash

Don’t talk to me I’m malting
