When The Night Comes

love is done
hurts like a wreck
burning on the setting sun
blood runs wild
at the end of the last breath
the stars don't shine no more
night falls on the bones of love
i won't cry over you
i was blind
so blind that i couldn't see
and everything went black
frozen in a heart attack
'cause you're colder than the arctic snow
and it hurts like you'll never know
i won't cry over you

Can't Help Yourself
04:09

the needle falls
hammer in your hand
soon time and space won't mean a thing
you can't help yourself
can't help yourself
the city beat
a red light rolling stone
strangers feed on flesh, stripped from your bones
you can't help yourself
can't help yourself
when the darkness falls
a killer on the prowl
his blade is sharp and cold and he bleeds you out
you can't help yourself
can't help yourself

Don't Fuck With Joe
03:24

he's run this town since time begun
like a barrel to the head from a loaded gun
he ain't your friend and he ain't your foe
but take heed now, don't fuck with joe
takes his hammer, takes a stone
like a moth to a flame he will creep and crawl
to the light in the valley where you call it home
and break down your door when you're sleeping sound
takes his cleaver, cuts your throat
a cold-hearted killer in a dark black coat
some say he's the devil, just a bad mofo
one thing's for sure you don't fuck with joe
well there once was a trucker by the name of clyde
ran a little moonshine on the side
he knew damn well who owned that liquor store
but no one told him who wrote the law
found tied to a sleeper on the railroad track
it was the midnight train that broke his back
ain't no way to die but then he shoulda had known
that he dug his grave when he fucked with joe
sue ray ran a house of ill repute
in the old shack down by the black bayou
had 'em lined up way round the bend
i think you know how the story ends
joe fucked her good with a shot to the head
her brains laid out all over the bed
he had no right to do the things he did
but if you fuck with joe you gonna wind up dead
you should've never stolen from butcher's corner store
'cause now you find yourself upon the killing floor
his names' on the wind, footsteps in the snow
i warned you three times already
i can't warn you no more
so when he takes his hammer, takes a stone
breaks down your door while you're sleeping sound
the light of the moon hits his cleaver to show
the red with anger, wild eyes of joe

Now She's Gone
03:46
|
|||
|
i've been up all night, walkin' city streets
wondering what i did to make her heart skip a beat
'cause now she's gone
didn't i care for you, give you everything you need
i treated you like a queen
now i know that i should've seen this coming on
'cause now she's gone
my souls' worn down, like a river bed stone
she left without a reason why & that cuts me to the bone
my heart still burns of the thought of her you see
someone put this fire out 'cause these thoughts won't let me be
now that she's gone

The Depths
04:49
|
|||
|
in the eye of a storm there’s place that i hold
further than centre and further through folds
she calls my name and i call the same
from a place that pushes, pulls and flows
deep and it’s dark, the depths of my heart
hard and it’s cold, the depths of my soul

Good sound for a road trip !!! The stoner rock atmosphere as relaxed as driving on the open road while the wind blows your head clear through the car window.

Strange, Strange Times
by The Ugly Kings
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching.

A slow drip of Tropicália-infused psychedelia from New Orleans rock outfit Blue Basin: balmy one moment, aggressive the next.
