James & Bobby Purify - I'm Your Puppet



James & Bobby Purify - I'm Your Puppet

Pull the string and I'll wink at you, I'm your puppet
I'll do funny things if you want me to, I'm your puppet

I'll be yours to have and to hold
Darling you've got full control of your puppet

Pull another string and I'll kiss your lips, I'm your puppet
Snap your finger and I'll turn you some flips, I'm your puppet

Your every wish is my command
All you gotta do is wiggle your little hand
I'm your puppet, I'm your puppet

I'm just a toy, just a funny boy
That makes you laugh when you're blue
I'll be wonderful, do just what I'm told
I'll do anything for you
I'm your puppet, I'm your puppet

Pull them little strings and I'll sing you a song, I'm your puppet
Make me do right or make me do wrong, I'm your puppet

Treat me good and I'll do anything
I'm just a puppet an you hold my string, I'm your puppet
Yeah, I'm your puppet

Walking, talking, living, loving puppet
I'm hanging on a string girl, I'll do anything now

I'm a walking, talking, living, loving puppet, and I love you

I'm a smiling happy face when you want me to
Even make you happy when you're feeling blue

Wale - The Kramer

photo by jill russell


Wale - The Kramer

Shut up!
50 years ago, they'd have you upside down with a fucking fork up your ass!
You can talk, you can talk, you can talk, you're brave now, motherfucker!
Who's loud talking?
The nigger! He's a nigger! He's a nigger!
A nigger, look, there's a nigger!

The color of my skin, content of my character,
Dream of a King's been a nightmare for anyone
White with a badge or anyone
Slightly affected by the tide to this race that I'm running in,
Pardon me, y'all, the racists I run against,
The race war, when it's us against all of them,
They subconsciously low talk us,
And probably all think as Kramer did still but won't talk it,
And first off, I ain't trying to be conscious,
Speaking heart with a conscience, talking to you,
This dark content for those of dark complexion,
Who's x-ed off, Rip, who gon' listen to us?
Who gon' speak for us? Who gon' plead for us?
Who gon' be the Head N.I.C. for us?
Who gon' defend us from crooked police on us?
I'm just an insecure N-I-G-er

Please listen to me, please listen to me,
Please listen to me, N-I-G-er
Please listen to me, who gon' listen to me?
Who gon' listen to me, N-I-G-er
Listen to me, who gon' listen to me?
Who gon' listen to me, N-I-G-er
Who gon' listen to me, who gon' listen to me?
Who gon' listen to me, N-I-G-er

Hey,and P say that I should stop saying nigga,
But if I did, what would be the difference?
I'd still be a nigga, he'd still be a nigga in his feelings,
I'd still be a nigga with no deal tryin' to get one,
There'd still be niggas out killing,
And still be white people still out to get us,
And still be niggas saying whites tryin' to get us,
And still be lazy and paranoid niggas,
I'm paramount, nigga, I am, and you can't be mad,
Cuz I choose the word nigga, lemme air it out, nigga,
Nigga ain't bad, see, niggas just had,
A clever idea to take something they said,
Into something we have, something we flipped
Into something with swag, nigga, don't be mad,
Bitches ain't shit, but women ain't bitches,
See, women are the queens, and bitches just bitches,
And bitches say bitch like bitch is not offensive,
When niggas say bitch, all of the sudden, they offended,
And niggas say nigga to a nigga,
A nigga write nigga in a lyric, expect the white boy to omit it,
The white boy spit it like he spit it,
Recite it to his friends who, by the way, ain't niggas,
And say nigga, nigga, nigga, my favorite rapper did it,
And non-nigga friends got it with him,
Incorporate this lyric to their everyday living,
Until a black friend kinda hear it, just a tidbit,
He thinks aw, forget it, it's so insignificant and little,
The white boy sees this as a clearance, now it's
Nigga, nigga, nigga, every single day,
And that little nigga nigga, thinks it's okay,
And he's the only nigga in this particular grade,
And it begins to phase him more each day,
The things they say went a little too far,
He couldn't tell the difference between an a or er,
So they just keep going, saying nigga in his face,
There's nothing he can do, he let it get away,
It came to the point he couldn't look 'em in the face,
The mirror made him hurl, his reflection disgraceful,
Yeah, and make sure everything you say,
Can't be held against you in any kind of way,
And any connotation is viewed many ways,
Cuz under every nigga, there's a little bit of Kramer,
Self-hatred...I hate you...and myself...
Niggas...

Uh, I lost my temper onstage, I was at, uh,
A comedy club trying to, um, do my act
And I got heckled and I, I, I took it badly and went into a, a rage...
And uh, uh...said some pretty, uh...nasty things to some Afro-Americans,
A lot of trash talk...
For this to happen, for me to be in a comedy club and flip out and say this crap,
You know, I'm...I'm deeply, deeply sorry...

Atlas Sound - Holiday



Atlas Sound - Holiday

I scared my parents
Now my parents are away
So you come over
We'll have a perfect holiday
I take you down
To the frozen lake
I'll hold the knife
To your perfect fucking face
To you perfect fucking face

I scared my parents
Now my parents are away
So you come over
We'll have a groovy holiday
A sixty El Camaro
Drive off into the sunset
On this perfect day
Oh please don't try to get away
Please please don't try to get away

I watched your parents
I know your parents are way
So I'll come over
We'll have a perfect holiday
I watch you bleed
On your knees
I watch you sneeze
Oh please don't try to get away
Please please don't try to get away
I'm desperate don't try to get away
We're all desperate don't try to get away

Kasey Chambers - The Captain



Kasey Chambers - The Captain

Well I don't have as many friends because
I'm not as pretty as I was
I've kicked myself at times because I've lied
So I will have to learn to stand my ground
I'll tell 'em I won't be around
I'll move on over to your town and hide

And you be the Captain
And I'll be no one
And you can carry me away if you want to
And you can lay low
Just like your father and if
I tread upon your feet you just say so
'Cos you're The Captain, I am no-one,
I tend to feel as though I owe one to you

Well I have handed all my efforts in
I searched here for my second wind
Is there somewhere here to let me in I asked
So I slammed the doors they slammed at me
I found the place I'm meant to be
I figured out my destiny at last

Did I forget to thank you for the ride
I hadn't tried I tend to runaway and hide

Gravediggaz - Bang Your Head

photo by nick fries


Gravediggaz - Bang Your Head

Bang your head... bang, your, head!
Bang your head... bang, your, head!

Rzarector!
You are not the same that I was when I was younger
I'm old with the Clan from my land, down under
Deep in the darkness, just like you regardless
Of who? It's obvious! Wee... ha!
So lounge in my burial ground, boy, my despot
I build a house on top, of Salem's Lot
Front porch, bloody, back yard, muddy
Like Amityville, a family kills
Force of humanity, drove me to insanity
Duel in all my rivalries, I speak of profanity
Motherfuck this! Motherfuck that! Bang your, head!

Bang your head... bang, your, head!
Bang your head... bang, your, head!

Here comes the killer with the GraveDigga sword, gimme room
Like devils in a Ouiji board I'm spellin' doom
Ever since sick, throwin' mad stones
And sick catchin' vex on a graveyard shift
Thinkin' ain't a new phenom because my crew is on
Spots'll blow like nuclear bombs
With the killer instinct, rhymes are in sync
B-B-B-B-Bang your head til it shrinks!
Midnight marauder, bodies are gettin' slaughtered
Bring a cross and a bucket of holy water
You'll still'a be cajoled, 'cause the motherfuckin' Gravediggaz
Snatch up your body, just like a clepto
Let's go, to the graveyard spot
Count up the knots, on the bodies that got dropped
So bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Bang your head... bang, your, head!
Bang your head... bang, your, head!
Bang your head... bang, your, head!
Bang your head... bang, your, head!

Gatekeep!
Yo,I creep with the evil intent to represent
The course, the night, a swarm with the dark force
The killer brigade, twelve o'clock starts the raid
Torches lit over your grave
Feel no pain those exposed to the raven
Deep in every step, a blunt like Wes Craven
Yo! I eject the fume that spells doom
The wickedest flow, sweep, ya up like a broom
'Cause in the shadowy graves, of Medina high
You're one step away from the arena of death
Boom, bang! Here I am, the berserk
The ruthless killer, I do work
Dark forces thick, motherfuckers for real
Here's a tale from the crypt, bang your head!

Bang your head... bang, your, head!
Bang your head... bang, your, head!
Bang your head... bang, your, head!
Bang your head... bang, your, head!
Bang your head... bang, your, head!
Bang your head... bang, your, head!
Bang your head... bang, your, head!

Dead Milkmen - If You Love Someone Set Them On Fire



Dead Milkmen - If You Love Someone Set Them On Fire

Know that it would be untrue
Know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
I didn't set your house on fire

But it's just the way I am
Have to take it for a fact
Life can really burn you up
When you're a pyromaniac
So...

If you love somebody
Better set them on fire

I went to your house last night
Dad called me the human torch
Got a little pissed at him
So I burned down your front porch

Now I feel a little better
About throwin' gas on your dad
But you know it's hard to quit
And besides he started it

I just bought a brand new lighter
And I just can't wait to use it
With a can a' kerosene it's lots a' fun
You can't refuse it

Oily rags are special things
You know to me they're diamond rings
Maybe we can have some fun
Maybe we can burn someone
So...

If you love somebody
Better set them on fire

Know that it would be untrue
Know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
I didn't set your dad on fire

If you love somebody
Better set them on fire

If you love somebody
Why not set them on fire?

If you love somebody
Better set them on fire

If you love somebody
Why not set them on fire

Chad VanGaalen - Molten Light



Chad VanGaalen - Molten Light

They dumped her body into the molten light
Floated to the surface and it did not ignite
She rose up slowly and walked to the shore
She stood up on the bank and whispered
I’ll find you and I’ll kill you
I’ll find you and I’ll kill you
I’ll find you and I’ll kill you

They ran back into town and hid in the church
They explained their situation and they feared for the worst
The priest told the brothers that she could not be killed
She flew out of the stone cold ground and
She’ll find you and she’ll kill you
She’ll find you and she’ll kill you
She’ll find you and she’ll kill you

Oh oh oh oh...

There was a knock at that door that shook through their hearts
She blew it right open and put it apart
She shot a string of flame from the center of her chest
As she watched their bodies burn she whispered
I found you and I killed you
I found you and I killed you
I found you and I killed you

The Temptations - Since I Lost My Baby

photo by jill russell


The Temptations - Since I Lost My Baby

The sun is shining, there's plenty of light (Oh yeah)
A new day is dawning, sunny and bright (Oh yeah)
But after I've been crying all night
The sun is cold, and the new day seems old
Since I lost my baby (Since I lost my baby)
Oh, since I lost my baby (Oh, since I lost my baby)

The birds are singing and the children are playing
There's plenty of work and the bosses are paying
Not a sad word should a young heart be saying
But fun is a bore and with money I'm poor

Since I lost my baby (Since I lost my baby)
Oh, since I lost my baby (Oh, since I lost my baby)
Next time I'll be kinder (Next time I'll be kinder)
Won't you please help me find her (Won't you please help me find her)
Someone just remind her (Someone just remind her)
Of this love she left behind her (Of this love she left behind her)
Till I find her I'll be trying to (Till I find her I'll be trying to)
Everyday I'm more inclined to
Find her
Inclined to
Find her
Inclined to find my baby
Been looking everywhere (baby)
Baby, I really, really care!

Oh, determination is fading fast (Oh yeah)
Inspiration is a thing of the past (Oh yeah)
Can't see how my hope's gonna last
Good things are bad and what's happy is sad

Since I lost my baby (Since I lost my baby)
Oh, since I lost my baby (Oh, since I lost my baby.)
I feel so bad (Since I lost my baby)
I feel so sad (Since I lost my baby)
Everything is wrong
This heart is hard to carry on (Since I lost my baby)
I'm lost as can be (Since I lost my baby)
What's gonna happen to me?

I'll bust a stunt punk like Colt Seavers
Then do the polka, I'm iller then the Joker
I'm not mediocrity like almond mocca

Deer Tick - Diamond Rings



Deer Tick - Diamond Rings

Oh it takes my life away
To think of her as gone
Now I’m running down the maze
And I’m finding only walls

Blowing down the flame
To catch the burning west
Now I’m running out of steam
Watch this man collapse

You said you wanted a better life
And you will tell me what you find
And then I’ll stay the whole night through
And I’ll turn from sad to blue
And I’m choking next to you
Yes I’m choking next to you

And I wish you’d think of me
The way I thought of you
I find it hard to breathe
Cause now I know the truth

And what good would fingers be
If it weren’t for diamond rings
And I know you’re leaving me
I know that I’m no king

And you said you wanted a better life
And you will tell me what you find
And then I'll stay the whole night through
And I'll turn from sad to blue
And I’m choking next you
Yes I’m choking next you

And what good would fingers be
If it weren’t for diamond rings
I know you’re leaving me
And I know that I’m no king
