Life is a Scream

She said to me oh I don't know what you mean
All I'm trying to do is trying to make your scene
I said to her no way baby life ain't what it seem
Well don't you know baby that life is a scream - AAGH

She came up to me in her high fashion and sheen
Well don't you know that she was trying to come clean
I said to her no way baby life ain't what it seem
Well don't you know baby that life is a scream - AAGH

She said to me oh I love it when you're mean
Don't you know it's boring when it's quiet and serene
I said to her no way baby life ain't what it seem
Well don't you know baby that life is a scream - AAHEEI

One of my favorite groups too.

Blister in the Sun

When I'm out walking I strut my stuff yeah I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite I just might stop to check you out
let me go on like I blister in the sun
let me go on big hands I know your the one
body and beats I stain my sheets I don't even know why
my girlfriend she's at the end she is starting to cry
let me go on like I blister in the sun
let me go on big hands I know your the one...

Hey mister...

with out a word.....

Violent Femmes are timeless punk crunchers. It's hard to believe that these songs came out two decades ago. The band White Stripes seem to be taking off and I think they were heavily influenced.

 

[Marxist]

I'd love to see them and They Might Be Giants together. Talk about minimalist rock.

Here's a link where you can listen to clips from the latest WS cd:

White Blood Cells

i love the violent femmes!

 

[Dillinger]

Yup - love the band.

But, irl, I prefer my femmes a bit less antogonistic.

I'm so strung out.

[bluemuse]

Damnit!!! They played walking distance from my house a week ago and I couldn't go!!!!

I had one of the best times of my life at a Violent Femmes show.
