Harry Harrison More great hard rock just like mama used to make. Mix big riffs with catchy hooks. Add a steady rhythm section and stir in a little grunge with a pinch of stoner influences. Then sprinkle with punk. Just don't bother to let settle 'cause this type of mixture never will, and nor should it. Serve raw. Another enjoyable feast from Pigboat. Recommend serving suggestion is LOUD! Favorite track: Ho Ho Whatever.

Zhakathoom I might be miles off the intended purpose of this band, but to me they come off a bit as heavy metals version of Primus, or Tenacious D: Professionality with a hint of humor.

And I like it. I like it a lot! :D Favorite track: ... And The Wings Of The Eagle Are Brown.

Like a yellow stain on white pants You pretend it doesnt exist And do your best to hide until the end of the day Hoping that no one noticed The brief parade of your shame When you got up to get another pile of work Cause once is tragic And twice is funny But three times is just sad And there you're found the next morning Feet hanging out of the door Pointed Earthward towards your frozen concrete steps And none of the neighbors can tell If you're alive or you're dead As you lie snoring in a pile of your own sick Cause once is funny And twice is tragic But three times is just sad You hope that no one noticed The brief parade of your shame They all respect you, Wouldn't laugh behind your back But its yellow, after all, And triggers something prurient Everyone turns thirteen when they see you pass by Cause once is tragic And twice is funny But three times is just sad

Every fiber of my being Is potential energy I can't hear a word you're saying I only see you bleeding I want to kill Meow, meow, meow The simple fact that you exist Makes me want to harvest your soul Coiled up to go angry feral Taking nourishment from your pain I can almost taste it Meow, meow, meow

It's flat and dusty You can see me coming for miles No trees to conceal my air That's why you live here, maybe Somehow you know Maybe you just smell it That's why you bar the door Standing by the window shaking You must be afraid of me Long before you can even see me Lips tight you're trying The prey that dare not show its fear There ain't nothin for you here, stranger That's why you live here, maybe You'd rather shoot me Than to bother and get to know me Just get back on your horse and ride Any way but closer to me That's why I came here Cause you don't live here I'll tell your face, I'll tell your corpse Don't you ever mess with Texas

I will tell you that I'm alright when I'm not That's all you want to hear anyway You don't care I'm at the end of my rope and alone I'm sure you've got your own problems to solve I can call you cause it's Christmas And the right thing to do Really wanting just to prove I'm alive To dispel the illusion I'm angry at you It just never seems the time or the place to complain But if it's all the same to you I'll crawl away and lick my wounds And watch them fester by myself Denying that they're infected at all Is it curious to God the things we never discard The finger holes we always use to hang on? The fantasies and addictions that pull us along I'm sure hes got some bigger problems to solve So I'm certain you don't want to hear I'm falling apart That's not the kind of call you wish to receive When I'm less a person than I am a thing It just never seems the time or the place to complain But if it's all the same to you I'll still pretend that it's all good And do my best not let on That you're the salt that hurts and heals Cause if you knew I fear you'd run Or worse than that I fear you'd pounce So I'll just keep biting my big fat lip If it would be all the same to you

Dear Mr. Horse I can feel the walls are closing in Please could you help me it just all seems so freaking pointless My candy dish is filled with razor blades Immersed in antifreeze What am I supposed to do when my hair gets wet when I'm in the tub? Please Mr. Horse Please Mr. Horse Please Mr. Horse Help me out of here Dear Mr. Horse I've had just as much as I can take Every days a rainy window waiting for my Grizzlebys I try to clean the stove but only ever seem to clean the back Why do you always scream when I try to make Pop Tarts in the tub?

It's getting colder and I know I'm never returning It's only a matter of time 'till the structure implodes You're probably making some lunch 'cause that's what you should do now And no one's aware that they need to inform you to mourn The union boys said That the welds would hold But they are not here with us now The weight of the water above may as well be boulders Walking the halls well aware that this is where it ends They sent us out to see if their vessel was worthy They'll get their answer but never will get back their boat Nine miles away And twelve leagues up You think you miss me now

My heart races when I hear your name I think about you now every day Many know you but few of them trust you And those who do are rightly looked on as fools The silent muse of a thousand songs and stories All are emphatic but not all of them good We both tell lies to get what we're after And worry later just who will pay the bill I know you're no good for me We keep secrets we don't want to tell Cause anywhere you go To anyone who knows you You'll always be the focus of the room I try to hide the fact we recently spoke Even from those who know that we've met The fact we're meeting would just raise suspicion And there's no time to hear a lecture from them And so we hide out in stairwells and bathrooms Minding time to not be seen Then mill about like nothing happened Wipe our noses and bitch about the cold My hands are shaking I'm shivering my fingertips are cold My heart does butterflies Merely thinking of you Not noticing that I've been up all night You're like an itch I cant reach with my tongue Make me forget I don't impress anyone Say Ill be good But here I am again Face down in you Face down in you again

Stare at the walls when there's nobody here Pull down the shades, 'cause I hate the sunshine Every day turns out just like the last Someday it will stop and nothing much will really change And I am just part of the hive Parts are replaced when machines start to break Eventually winding up on the scrap pile And what makes you so different that anyone will notice when you're gone? I won't change nothing at all Just another maggot in the pile Free will is irrelevant Just a weird coincidence Busy monkeys with busy delusions Just another maggot in the pile

You probably wouldn't mind it half as much If you thought you could get it off you Half the reason that it itches so much Is so you'll help it make more things that itch Barbie knows she has a limited shelf life That's exactly why she hates you so much Trying to get you to eat more fresh fruit Only helps to wear out her features and furniture I'd advise that you don't open that door Something dead decays in there Keep your mouth shut, I've been meaning to throw it out I'm just waiting for the courage to go in there You sold you soul for a golf shirt With a logo embroidered on the left breast Does the dais of corpses you stand on Substitute the respect and affection But I doubt it could hang on as well if It didn't have teeth sunk into your neck And as the poison eats through your insides We just shrug and say you need your rest

Standing opposing face to face Your left looks like my right If one of us turns to side by each We see it essentially the same But if both spin it's back to back The inevitable position of duels One more about the glove Than about anything that was said When did this become a cult? Two Coins Two Faces We have our favorites Remeber they're both facing heads You want a lollypop While I say you should get to eat what you kill Two different foods two different tastes Ironically, both from the market Flowers and flesh a shared disdain Of the prey and the purely symbolic You say the sky is falling I say we're on a bigger pile You scream pudding for all While I shout candy comes from a factory Two different foods two different tastes Ironically, both from the market Flowers and flesh a shared disdain Of the prey and the purely symbolic When did this become a cult? You fear Baptists with rifles and oil wells While I fear men in uniforms with cameras and cattle cars Before this conversation started we were only fast friends But I say one thing we can be sure of If only one of us is right, They're still coming for both of us When did this become a cult?

Their friend was dead Cut down in his prime And hung as a message To those of like mind Sit down and shut up Or you'll get the same So they got the message And moved underground Waiting in patience For the fix of it all The Devil ain't coming He lives over there Just because you live there Doesn't mean you don't want to see it burn Like a giant television Blowing up in front of all the world They might have done it To say that it's time They might have done it To make sure it was time And it makes me wonder If the people living next door Ache to see a repeat Of what went on in 64 Now look around you at all that you see All that you hold dear And all that you own Now imagine the distaste If it wasn't yours Like a diamond Mercedes Illegally parked You just want to break it Or see it get towed Really, just because it isn't yours
