Escape the little town

it was a little town and this little lady slept around, she slept around, all she wanted was a kind of friend but she took a lot of men to her bed, she was so messed up inside, I'm on my own, I'm on my own she cried, then at the cracked of dawn she jumped on the bus shouting out I'm gonna be someone, be someone
but you know it, you gotta shout it out, you can show it without a shadow of a doubt, or they'll kick you, they'll kick you when you're down, don't let them get the best of you
and then the blitzkrieg came in the final days of a crazy hazy cocaine blaze, all alone he lived in a hole he had no home no place to go, he was so messed up inside, I'm on my own, I'm on my own he cried, then at the crack of dawn he was stumbling down the street, shouting out I'm gonna be someone, be someone
but you know it you gotta shout it out, you can show it without a shadow of a doubt, or they'll kick you, they'll kick you when you're down, don't let them get the best of you
then you go away

Pom Pom Girls, Uptown Girls, they just want to rule the world
if you get into their way they'll fuck you up and make you pay
you're throwing it all away, each and every day
Dum Dum Boys, Drinking Boys, they just want to make some noise
if you get into their way, they'll fuck you up and make you pay
you're throwing it all away, it and every day

Tony Mephisto recommends:
dark folk, haunting universe full of depth, Miles Oliver's music and lyrics are thoughtful and full of emotion

Nevertari E.P.
by The Absolute Never
The Absolute Never - hangman's music with an apocalyptique grunge / western background, imagine a fight between Clint Eastwood, Kurt Cobain and a hoard of zombies and you might understand
go to album
I believe La Jungle is the future of music. I was recently blown away at their live show here in Paris, a total and improbably combination of nasty guitar riffs and lo-fi looping with god like drums
