![]() Rock n Roll (2003) [ larger cover art ] |
Nobody with no one to call
All this time
Hot metal as her clothes disolve
Emergency lights
It's genocide,
It's suicide
I'm spinning round the room in awe
I'm spinning round the room...
I'm floating through a room of halls
Party time
Stops breathing like a china doll
broken eyes
Its genocide,
It's suicide...
I'm spinning round the room in awe
All bloody in the luminol
I'm spinning round the room in awe
In awe, in awe, in awe...
Save my life, save my name
Save my life, save my name
Its genocide,
It's suicide...
I'm floating through a room of halls
All bloody in the luminol
I'm spinning round the room in awe
In awe (x 8)

(I keed, I keed).... ![]() I heard a story that he once stopped a concert and refused to play again until a guy in the front who'd requested "Summer of '69" was thrown out. I'm still not sure if that makes him a thin-skinned, self-important d-bag or completely awesome. |

I'd check out Whiskeytown, just in case, before you write RA forever. That band seemed to me to keep his eraticism (not to be confused with eroticism) in check. I hear he writes tons and tons of songs and instead of throwing out the lesser ones he keeps - and records/releases - them all. |

It was part of the "nerd chique" image that I can recall going back to the early days of punk. |
