MISFITS - MOMMY, CAN I GO OUT AND KILL TONIGHT?

 

Misfits - Mommy, Can I Go Out and Kill Tonight?

 

Singled out the kids who are mean to me
Get straight A's but they still make fun
I don't give a, I'll laugh last
Stayed in every night

Do my homework so I'll be smart
Girls all say I'm a little fuck
Mommy I'm a good boy
Mommy I'm a fuckin' savior
Mommy I'm alive

Mommy, can I go out and kill tonight

Rip the veins from human necks
Until they're wet with life
Razor-blades love teenage flesh
An epidermoty
I'll bring back a souvenir
For it's my mommy's dream
Can I go out and kill tonight, kill tonight

Killed a girl on lovers' lane
I kept her toes and teeth
Every night I stalk around until I find my keep
I'll bring back a souvenir
For it's my mommy's dream

Can I go out and kill tonight, kill tonight

Killed a girl on lover's lane
I kept her toes and teeth
Every night I stalk around until I find my keep
I'll bring back a souvenir
For it's my mommy's dream

Can I go out and kill tonight, kill tonight
Kill tonight, kill tonight, kill tonight, kill tonight

Kill tonight, kill tonight
Kill tonight, kill tonight, kill tonight, kill tonight
Can I go out and kill tonight, kill tonight
MommyKill tonight, kill tonight

The Meteors - Michael Myers 

 

 

Michael Myers is back again

bringin' all the trouble

bringin' all the pain

got no conscience

got no mind

got no reason

and he hates mankind

Halloween night, '74

lock all the windows

who's at the door

hide the knives after you eat

because Michael Myers is coming

Trick-or-Treat!

Doctors locked him up

fifteen years ago

he don't remember

he doesn't know

now he hates us all the time

because Michael Myers

has lost his mind

Michael Myers is back again

bringin' all the trouble

bringin' all the pain

got no reason

got no rhyme

got no conscience

and he hates mankind

He's got brains deep in his head

you can't kill him

'cause he's already dead

he's got the strength

of darkness now

the strength of twenty anyhow

he's got girlies in his mind

scarred fingers and a

rage that's blind

six bullets buried in his chest

we'll never stop him

if that's our best

Michael Myers is back again

bringin' all the trouble

bringin' all the pain

got no conscience

got no rhyme

got no reason

and he hates mankind, yeeaahhh...

(break)

He's got a butcher's knife

he does his work

once he gets started

he won't shirk

you won't laugh and he won't cry

on his anniversary you could die

he's wetted his chops and now he's out

but you won't see him move about

he's out for blood

he's got a thirst

goodbye to that happy

thirty-first

Michael Myers is back again

bringin' all the trouble

bringin' all the pain

got no conscience

got no rhyme

got no reason

and he hates mankind

Michael Myers is back again

bringin' all the trouble

bringin' all the pain

got no conscience

got no rhyme

got no reason

and he hates mankind

SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES - HALLOWEEN

 

Siouxsie & The Banshees - Halloween

 

The night is still and the frost it bites my face
I wear my silence like a mask and murmur like a ghost

 Trick or treat, trick or treat, the bitter and the sweet
 Trick or treat, trick or treat, the bitter and the sweet

 

The carefree days are distant now I wear my memories like a shroud
I try to speak but words collapse, echoing, echoing

 Trick or treat, trick or treat, the bitter and the sweet
Trick or treat, trick or treat, the bitter and the sweet

 

I wander though your sadness
Gazing at you with scorpion eyes
Halloween, Halloween
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

 

A sweet reminder in the ice-blue nursery
Of a childish murder of hidden luster and she cries

 Trick or treat, trick or treat, the bitter and the sweet
Trick or treat, trick or treat, the bitter and the sweet

 

I wander through your sadness
Gazing at you with scorpion eyes
Halloween, Halloween
Halloween, Halloween
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

DEAD KENNEDYS - HALLOWEEN

 

Dead Kennedys - Halloween

 

 

So it's Halloween

And you feel like dancin'

And you feel like shinin'

And you feel like letting loose

Whatcha gonna be

Babe, you better know

And you better plan

Better plan all day

Better plan all week

Better plan all month

Better plan all year

You're dressed up like a clown

Putting on your act

It's the only time all year

You'll ever admit that

I can see your eyes

I can see your brain

Baby, nothing's changed

(repeat)

You're still hiding in a mask

You take your fun seriously

No, don't blow this year's chance

Tomorrow your mold goes back on

After Halloween

You go to work today

You'll go to work tomorrow

Shitfaced tonight

You'll brag about it for months

Remember what I did

Remember what I was

Back on Halloween

But what's in between

Where are your ideas

You sit around and dream

For next Halloween

Why not everyday

Are you so afraid

What will people say

(repeat)

After Halloween

Because your role is planned for you

There's nothing you can do

But stop and think it through

But what will the boss say to you

And what will your girlfriend say to you

And the people out on the street they might glare at you

And whadya know you're pretty self-conscious too

So you run back and stuff yourselves in rigid business costumes

Only at night to score is your leather uniform exhumed

Why don't you take your social regulations

And shove 'em up your ass

LOU REED - RIP

 

Lou Reed - Walk On The Wild Side

 

 

Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she

She says, "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"
He said, "Hey honey, take a walk on the wild side"

 

Candy came from out on the island
In the backroom she was everybody's darlin'
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head

She says, "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"
He said, "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"

 

And the colored girls go
Doo do doo, doo do doo, doo do doo

 

Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City's the place where they said

"Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"
I said, "Hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side"

 

Sugar plum fairy came and hit the streets
Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo, you should've seen 'em go go go
They said, "Hey sugar, take a walk on the wild side"

I said, "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"
Alright, huh

 

Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash

She said, "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side"
I said, "Hey honey, take a walk on the wild side"

 

And the colored girls say
Doo do doo, doo do doo, doo do doo

SHELLAC - WATCH SONG

 

Shellac - Watch Song

 

Hey man.. I wanna have a fight with you
Regardless of my feelings on the subject
It appears that I am going to

Get up to fight, forget about it
I've paid more than anyone would advise for this watch and so far i am dissapointed in it
It beeps at me at noon and seven and five and I cannot turn off the piece of shit

Hey man hey!
Hey man, I wanna have a fight with you
From the way that you behave, it is clear, to me, you would, like to have one too
Let's stop, dance, and do what we both came here to do

Hey man hey!
Hey!
Hey man!
Hey man hey hey!
Hey man, I wanna have a fight with you
From the way that you behave, it is clear, to me, you would, like to have one too.

THE WHO - WHO ARE YOU?

 

The Who - Who Are You?

 

Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?

I woke up in a Soho doorway
A policeman knew my name
He said "You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away"

I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwin' punches around
And preachin' from my chair

[chorus:]
Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
'Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

I took the tube back out of town
Back to the Rollin' Pin
I felt a little like a dying clown
With a streak of Rin Tin Tin

I stretched back and I hiccupped
And looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the Tin Pan
God, there's got to be another way

Who are you?
Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ...

Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?

[chorus]

I know there's a place you walked
Where love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup
I only feel right on my knees

I spit out like a sewer hole
Yet still recieve your kiss
How can I measure up to anyone now
After such a love as this?

[chorus]

VICE SQUAD - LAST ROCKERS

Vice Squad - Last Rockers

Stumbling through the rubble,

my heads in a spin.

I hear them fighting,

the war that no one can win.

I'm too young to die,

too late to live.

As politicians do the thing no god can forgive...

Time has come for us to die [ah ah].

No memories left to cry [ah ah].

No chance of a rebirth [ah ah]

... for the last rockers on earth.

Hadn't any chance when they dropped their bomb

Left us buried in this molten tomb.

While we stood in the burn radiation,

they were burning up the whole of creation

Time for has come for us to die,

no memories left to cry.

No chance of a rebirth,

for the last rockers on earth.

Wandering round, dream of anarchy.

All we ever wanted was to be free.

Our music was our only joy,

but the goverments want to search and destroy.

Stumbling through the rubble,

my heads in a spin.

I hear them fighting,

the war, no one can win,

I'm too young to die,

too late to live,

as politicians do the thing no god can forgive.

On our statues to remind,

those who may come in future time,

and we who fought on city streets,

have perished in atomic heat.

Time for has come for us to die,

no memories left to cry.

No chance of a rebirth,

for the last rockers on earth.

They can't revert me from my kind.

No dreams of power to control my mind.

Last rockers rule the world now,

there's no one left to fight now.

THE CREATURES - STANDING THERE

 

The Creatures - Standing There

 

Hey creepo's... I'm talking to you
I've got a message to give to you
You've got a problem... we know
But there's something you ought to know

Standing there across the thoroughfare
They stand and stare with that gormless air
So funny to see how dumb some grown men can be

An unwanted weed, a dying reed
Left to consider life as it passes by
Ignoring your calling, ignoring your taunting,
Ignoring your feelings of self hate and loathing
How empty and pointless your life must seem

See them standing
See them staring
See them wearing that same stupid face

Sticks and stones may break bones
But these taunting crones only cause inner groans
We ignore all your calling, ignore all your taunting
Ignore all your problems of self hate and loathing
Somebody should show them where to go

See them standing
See them staring
See them wearing that same creepy face

Standing there in the thoroughfare
They stand and stare with that gormless air
Does what you won't understand scare and make you mad?
Resentful and envious, don't you disgust yourself?
So funny to see how pathetic some men can be

See them standing
See them staring
See them wearing that same stupid face
Ignore all their calling, ignore all their taunting,
Ignore all their faking, their self hate and loathing
Somebody should show them where to go.

ROSE OF AVALANCHE - LA RAIN

 

Rose of Avalanche - L.A. Rain

 

 

The Rose’s first single release, coming out in early 1985, and immediately being picked up by John Peel and championed via his radio play the Rose’s début reached No1 in the UK indie charts.

What was even more remarkable about this instant success was at this stage The Rose of Avalanche were not an established live act with a following, so found themselves in the pretty unique position of being top of the charts but with no gigging experience.

“LA Rain” was written by the original Rose lineup of Morris / Berry / Davis and recorded at Parkside Studios in Leeds. The track was originally produced & mixed by Lawrence, the bass player from the March Violets (influential Leeds scene band). However the Rose weren’t happy with the results and promptly re-mixed it when he left!.

As part of this remix the boys felt the track needed a little something extra and persuaded one Glenn Shultz who was working at the studio to put some 12 string over the track. By the bands own admission Glenn was technically far superior to any of them, having been classically trained. At that point Glenn was invited to join the band on a permanent basis.

 The title track is a brooding, sleazy opus, clocking in at over seven minutes. The style and swagger of the song masks the youth and inexperience of the band. Phil almost raps the lyrics in his mock American drawl which was to become a trade mark of the band.

The support from Peel continued throughout 1985 with the band recording a Peel Session on 28th May 1985, and “LA Rain” being named in John Peel’s “Festive 50″ (number 26 in fact) in December 1985.

The Rose choose “Rise To The Groove” and “Conceal Me” to back the single, with other songs from the same session carried over to the “Goddess” single. Both establish the Rose’s rock ‘n’ roll influences, learning towards an American influence. This was unlike many of their contemporaries in the Goth scene who could trace their roots back to British Punk and New Wave.

BEANS ON TOAST - LIVE AT THE RAINBOW - BIRMINGHAM

The Rainbow is a great venue to see live bands, where in the back room with its small stage and rustic appearance emitting a really great vibe perfect for the live experience.  We missed most of the first support acts set only catching the last couple of songs which included a fairly true reading of Dirty Old Town. 

Main support for the tour is Gorgeous George from London, a six piece multi instrument ensemble who crammed on to the small stage like eager musicians vying for a prime busking spot.   Difficult to define musically (the band themselves dislike genre categorisation) they’ve been likened to the Clash but personally if you think a little bit Gogol Bordello / Manu Chao, throw in a pinch of Madness (or even Ian Dury) to cover the cheeky not taking themselves too seriously  element and they maybe even could have been Joe Strummer’s alternative Mescaleros and hopefully you begin to build a picture.  Anyway they unleashed a short lively set crammed full of great tunes and definitely worth checking out. 

Okay, can I just say from the off, following this gig I have developed a bit of a man crush on Beans On Toast.  About three years ago I casually glanced in passing at his first album, Standing On A Chair, intrigued by the Beans on Toast moniker.  When looking through the 50 song titles scattered across the two CDs I saw a song entitled A Night Out With Henry Rollins so thought I would chance my arm.  And what a great album it turned out to be.  And now four albums in this was my first opportunity to catch the BoT live experience.  Joined on stage by his banjo and harmonica maestro friend we got a 75 minute set high on entertainment value from the off.  His voice sounds like he has just downed a bottle of Jim Beam and then set about his throat with a rasp - and I mean that as a compliment.  With songs of drugs, love and politics he engaged the crowd from the off – two songs in and he abandoned the stage and sang amongst the audience -  a gesture that put him not just metaphorically on a level with the crowd.  The in between (and sometime mid song) dialogue and anecdotes were hilarious and at time touching giving us far more insight into the mind-set than a hundred interviews.  There was no set list, with requests for songs often accommodated and sing-alongs encouraged.  We got an improvised song about West Midlands Safari Park and even a light hearted confrontation with a member of the crowd only added to the entertainment value.   Walking away at the end of the night the consensus of opinion from all of us was without a doubt one of the best performances we had seen all year! Buy the records.  But check him out live for the full experience

MORRISSEY - YOU SAY YOU DON'T LOVE ME (BUZZCOCKS COVER)

 

Morrissey - You Say You Don't Love Me (Buzzcocks cover)

 

You say you don't love me
Well that's alright with me 'cos I'm in love with you
And I wouldn't want you doin' things, you don't want to do
Oh you know, I've always wanted you to be in love with me
And it took so long to realize, the way things have to be

I wanted to live in a dream that couldn't be real
And I'm starting to understand now the way that you feel
You say, you don't
You say, you don't

You say you don't love me
Well that's alright with me 'cos I have got the time
To wait in case someday, you maybe change your mind
I've decided not to make the same mistakes this time around
As I'm tired of having heartaches, I've been thinking and I've found

I don't want to live in a dream, I want somethin' real
And I think I understand now the way that you feel
You say you don't, you say you don't
You say you don't

You say, you don't
You say, you don't

You say you don't love me
Well that's alright with me, I'm not in love with you
I just want us to do the things, we both want to do
Though I've got this special feelin', I'd be wrong to call it love
For the word entails a few things that I would be well rid of

I've no need to live in a dream, it's finally real
And I hope you now understand this feelin' I feel
You say, you don't
You say, you don't

You say, you don't love me
You say, you don't love me
You say, you don't love me
Hmm
