Cow Punk and Psychobilly appreciation thread?
    #940493 -

This thread is for comments about Cow Punk and Psychobilly bands and musicians (i.e. Mike Ness, Reverend Horton Heat, et al). We will also accept comments about older cow folk who have abused mass drugs, seen many hard miles and share these kind of views and attitudes towards life (i.e. Johnny Cash, Ramblin Jack Elliot, Neil Young, et al).

I?ll start. Here?s a great fucking song by Mike Ness. Mike Ness is arguably one of the angriest voices in rock -- great music for detox rage! Anyway, great lyrics from an old junkie and a stellar title!!! :cool:

Cheating at Solitaire
By Mike Ness

You can lie to yourself, you can lie to the world
You can lie to the one you call your girl
You can humble yourself to the hearts that you stole
Wondering who's gonna love you when you grow old?

With a fistful of courage and a heart full of rage
I realized I'd locked myself in a cage
I'll be the one standing there with the watery eyes
I'll be the fool in the mirror asking you why, asking why

When I got to the end of my dirty rainbow
And I found that there was no pot of gold
Well, I learned that I was empty and not quite as strong
For I had robbed my heart and cheated my soul

Look for the one with the watery eyes
I'll be the fool in the mirror asking you why
Cursing lovers in a warm tender embrace
Scoffing at the world and the whole human race

Chorus:
You can run, you can hide
You can feed your foolish pride
You can use and abuse
In the end you'll always lose at the game

Solo:

Chorus:
You can run, you can hide
You can feed your foolish pride
With the hearts that you stole
And an empty pot of gold
And the lover's warm embrace
And the whole damned human race
You can use and abuse
In the end you'll always lose at the game

"For I cheated myself at solitaire."

On the Road Again
By Willie Nelson

On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again

On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been
Seein' things that I may never see again,
And I can't wait to get on the road again.

On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be turnin' our way

And our way
Is...

On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again

On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be turnin' our way

And our way
Is...

On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again

And I can't wait to get on the road again

Dope Fiend Blues
Mike Ness

In a police car I feel so very small
I see my lover's face and I watch her teardrops fall
And I try to figure out where I'd fallen off the track
I sold my soul to the devil and then I stole it back

Chorus
And in the end, you know a dope fiend ain't got no friends
And a junkie is a junkie to the bitter end
Hope to die now, cuz you know I'm better off dead
Hey brother, won't you lend me a helpin' hand?

I tie myself off, shoot it in my veins
I feel like Marlon Brando and I've hid another day's pain
I'm goin' back where it's safe, goin' back to the womb
I find my mother's comfort, here in a needle and spoon

Chorus
And Christmas for a dope fiend ain't no fun
Waitin' for good times that seem to never come
Goin' out now, gonna get myself a gun
Please stop me, don't you know I'm on a run?

Aren't you tired of the detox and the places in the mind?
Aren't you tired of the misery, aren't you tired of doin' time?
And I try to figure out where I'd fallen off the track
You know I sold my soul to the devil and then I stole it back

Chorus
I'm a dope fiend, I'm a liar, a cheat and a thief
At my funeral, won't you bring me a red rose wreath?
Dress in black now, show everyone your grief
Well, I'm gone now, you can all feel relief!

Remember Me
By Willie Nelson (Scott Wiseman)

You told me once that you were mine alone forever
And I was yours till the end of eternity.
But all those vows are broken now, and we will never
Be the same except in memory.

Remember me when the candle lights are gleaming,
Remember me at the close of a long, long day.
It would be so sweet when all alone I'm dreaming
Just to know you still remember me.

A brighter face may take my place when we're apart, dear,
Another love, with a heart more bold and free.
But in the end, fair weather friends may break your heart, dear.
If they do, sweetheart, remember me.

Remember me when the candle lights are gleaming,
Remember me at the close of a long, long day.
It would be so sweet when all alone I'm dreaming
Just to know you still remember me.

After the Goldrush
Neil Young

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights
In armor coming,
Saying something about a queen.
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree.
There was a fanfare blowing
To the sun
That was floating on the breeze.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
Look at Mother Nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.

I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes.
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst thru the sky.
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like getting high.
I was thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
Thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.

Well, I dreamed I saw the silver
Space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun,
There were children crying
And colors flying
All around the chosen ones.
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun.
They were flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home in the sun.
Flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home.

The One I Loved Back Then (The Corvette Song)
By George Jones

I stopped off at the quicksack for some beer and cigarettes
This old man took my money as he stared at my Corvette
He said, I had one just like her son, a 1963
Til' the man down at the bank took her from me

Oh she was hotter than a two dollar pistol
she was the fastest thing around
Long and lean every young man's dream
She turned every head in town
She was built in from the handles
Son, I'm glad that you dropped in
She reminds me of the one I loved back then

Well I handed him my keys and said, here take her for a spin
The old man scratched his head, and then he looked at me and grinned
He said son you just don't understand it ain't the car I want
It's the brunette in your vette that turns me on

I had one that was hotter than a two dollar pistol
she was the fastest thing around
Long and lean every young man's dream
She turned every head in town
She was built in from the handles
Son, I'm glad that you dropped in
She reminds me of the one I loved back then

OL' 55'
Tom Waits

Well my time went so quickly
I went lickety-splitly
Out to my ol' fifty-five
As I pulled away slowly feelin' so holy
God knows I was feelin' alive.

And now the sun's comin' up
I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
Freeway cars and trucks
Stars beginning to fade
And I lead the parade
Just a-wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
Lord don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger.

Six in the mornin' gave me no warnin'
I had to be on my way.
Now the cars are all passin' me, trucks are all flashin' me
I'm headed home from your place.

And now the sun's comin' up
I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
Freeway cars and trucks
Stars beginning to fade
And I lead the parade
Just a-wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
Lord don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger.

Well my time went so quickly I went lickety-splitly
Out to my ol' fifty-five
As I pulled away slowly feelin' so holy
God knows I was feelin' alive.

And now the sun's comin' up
I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
Freeway cars and trucks,
Ridin' with Lady Luck
Freeway cars and trucks,
Ridin' with Lady Luck

Cocaine Blues
By Johnny Cash

Early one morning while makin' the rounds,
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down,
I went right home and I went to bed,
I stuck a lovin' forty-four beneath my head.

Got up next morning and I grabbed that gun,
I took a shot of cocaine and away I run,
made a good run but I run too slow,
they overtook me down in Juarez Mexico.

Late n the hot joint takin' the pill,
inwalked the sheriff from Jericho Hill.
He said, ?Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown,
you're the dirty hack that shot your woman down?.

Oh yes, o yes, my name's is Billy Lee,
if you've got a warrant just a - read it to me,
I shot her down because she made me sore,
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more.

When I was arrested I was dressed in black,
they put me on a train and they took me back,
had no friend for to go my bail,
they stuck my dried-up carcass in the county jail.

Early next morning 'bout at half past nine,
I saw the sheriff comin' down the line,
that sheriff yelled as he cleared his throat,
he said, ?Come on you dirty hack into the district court.

Into the courtroom my trial began,
where I was handled by twelve honest men.
Just before the jury started out,
I saw that little judge commence to look about.

In about five minutes in walked a man,
holding the verdict in his right hand,
the verdict read ?In the first degree?,
I hollered Lordy Lordy, have mercy on me.

The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen,
ninety-nine years in the Folsom Penn,
ninety-nine years underneath that ground,
I can't forget that day I shot that bad bitch down.

Come on you gotta listen on to me,
stay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be.

Della and the Dealer
By Hoyt Axton

It was Della and the Dealer and a dog named Jake
And a cat named Kalamazoo.
Left the city in a pick up truck,
Gonna make some dreams come true.

Yea,they rolled out west where the wild sun sets
And the coyote bays at the moon.
Della and the Dealer and a dog named Jake
and a cat named Kalamazoo

Chorus:
If that cat could talk what tales he'd tell
About Della and the Dealer and the dog as well
But the cat was cool, and he never said a mumblin word.

Down Tucson way there's a small cafe
Where they play a little cowboy tune.
And the guitar picker was a friend of mine
By the name of Randy Boone.

Yea, Randy played her a sweet love song
And Della got a fire in her eye
The Dealer had a knife and the dog had a gun
and the cat had a shot of Rye.

Repeat CHORUS

Yea , the dealer was a killer,
He was evil and mean
And he was jealous of the fire in her eyes.

He snorted his coke through a century note
And swore that Boone would die.

The stage was set when the lights went out.
There was death in Tucson town.
Two shadows ran for the bar back door
And one stayed on the ground

Repeat CHORUS

Two shadows ran from the bar that night
And dog and cat ran too.
And the tires got hot on the pick up truck
As down the road they flew.

It was Della and her lover and a dog named Jake
And a cat named Kalamazoo.
Left Tucson in a pick-up truck
Gonna make some dreams come true.

CHORUS

Family Tradition
By Hank Williams Jr.

country music singers
have always been a real close family
but lately some of my kin folks
have disowned a few others and me
i guess its because
i kinda changed my direction
i guess i went and broke the family tradition

they get on me wanna know Hank
why do you drink?
(Hank) why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
over and over
everybody made my prediction
so if i get stoned
I'm just carryin'
on an old family tradition

I am very proud
of my daddys name
although his kinda music
and mine ain't exactly the same
stop and think it over
put yourself in my position
if i get stoned and sing all night long
it's a family tradition

Don't ask me Hank
why do you drink?
(Hank) why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
If I'm down in a Honky-Tonk
Some ol' slicks tryin to give me corrections
I'll say leave me alone
I'm singin all night long
it's a family tradition

Lordy, I have loved some ladies
and I have loved Jim Beam
and they both tried to kill me
in 1973
when that doctor asked me
Son how did you get in this condition
I said hey sawbones I'm just carryin on
an old family tradition

So don't ask me Hank
why do you drink?
(Hank) why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs you wrote?
Stop and think it over
Try and put yourself in my unique position
If I get stoned and sing all night long
It's a family tradition!

/me says "listen to Sixer" over and over and over...

Actually I recommend Brassknuckle Boys, crappy name, but its the greatest mix of country and punk.  The lead singer was a skinhead back in the 80's, and he's lived thru so much shit and it comes out in his music.  "At Least it Seems" is about his life and all his friends, the heroin junkies, the old friends that are either dead or in prison, and that he was even part of the nazi skinhead (aka boneheads) scene in Chicago for a while (yes he reformed).  They only released a 7 inch, a full length, and I have their demo somewhere...but definately pick of their full length "American Bastard" if you like that sing-a-long and country-ish kinda punk.  I'll post the lyrics to "At Least it Seems" later.  They are an amazing band, one of the only "true" punk bands, and they broke up last year.  They also do a badass cover of "Sunday Mornin Comin Down" on American Bastard.

Here's a really short bio on the band...the only one I could find actually.  :frown:

The Brassknuckle Boys are no longer a band. The Brassknuckle Boys were a street punk band from Lafayette, Indiana. The range in age in the band spans 10 years, from guys who've only just discovered street punk over the past couple years, to those who were in boots & shaved heads in '88. All the musicians in the band had been playing music since they were kids. The two youngest that were in the band have been in punk bands together since jr high school. The singer of the brassknuckle boys writes lyrics that are insightful and true. He left home at 14 years old and followed a trail that took him all over the country. 14 years later he's seen the white power movement and prison from the inside and came out of it with a better understanding of the world. The Brassknuckle Boys were a very young band, that had just formed in feb. of '99.

That's a great song. I think I'll have to find their badass version... :grin:

Mike Ness and Social Distortion did a great cover of this song, back in the day...

Ring of Fire
Johnny Cash

Love is a burnin?thing,
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire --
I fell into a ring of fire.

I fell into a burnin?ring of fire --
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher,
And it burns, burn, burns,
The ring of fir, the ring of fire.

The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet.
I fell for you like a child --
Oh, but the fire ran wild.

I fell into a burnin?ring of fire --
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher,
And it burns, burn, burns,
The ring of fir, the ring of fire.

I fell into a burnin?ring of fire --
I went down, down, down,
And the flames went higher,
And it burns, burn, burns,
The ring of fir, the ring of fire.
The ring of fire (and Fade)

I remember Social Distortion's version.  Good stuff.  Johnny Cash is one my favorite musicians.

Papaver, if you want some Brassknuckle Boys, I'd be happy to send you some mp3's somehow.  It'll have to be tomorrow (my 'net connection at home is fucked, so I gotta do it at work.)  I can put em on Kazaa or somethin.  Cuz I don't think you'll have much luck doing searches for em.  But yeah, tomorrow, just do a search on Kazaa for em, I'll have a bunch online.  :cool:

WOMEN WITHOUT WHISKEY (Cooley / Drive By Truckers)

If I make it through this year, I think I'm gonna put this bottle down
Maybe as time goes on I'll learn to miss it less than I do now
Think I'm gonna tell her that I'm gonna go away for a while
Till I can get this demon out

You know the bottle ain't to blame and I ain't trying to
It don't make you do a thing it just lets you
When I'm six feet underground, I'll need a drink or two
And I'll sure miss you

Take me piece by piece till there ain't nothing left worth taking away from me

The highway's humming in my head and it's hard to hear
Won't you read my lips if I pull you near enough
Could you read my fortune in the bottem of this coffee cup
Tell me how to tell when I've had enough

If morning's a bitch with open arms and night's a girl who's gone to far
Whiskey is harder to keep than a woman and it's half as sweet but
Women without whiskey, Women without whiskey
Whiskey is hard to beat
Whiskey is hard to beat

Yer gonna have t'let the blood dry on yer hands
Ask yer mama t'knit you a blanket from Esau's thigh
Cause yer gonna have t'learn t'be lowly and wise
And you can't tell me it sits alright with you
Gangsta lean gansta lean you done killed them all
Gangsta lean gangsta lean you done killed them

You got Beelzebub in yer little toe You got death on yer dry tung
You got to live alone you got to pray alone
Just like the people bone that you shatter
and you can't tell me it doesn't bother you
Gangsta lean gangsta lean you done killed them all
Gangsta lean gangsta lean you done killed them

Yer life's a melody and yer life's a rhapsody
possessing the dark skin with romance
It's not a mystery when you know the history
Of east coast and west coast killa's
And you can't tell me it doesn't bother you
Gangsta lean gangsta lean you done killed them all
Gangsta lean gangsta lean you done killed them

I had forgotten all about the progenitors of psychobilly -- the band X from the LA punk scene back in the early eighties. My recent move has caused a sort of upheaval in the geology of my CD collection, and ancient strata of music have been brought to the surface and exposed to the light. My collection of X CDs being among them? :wink:



Exene was cute as a button. John Doe was the epitome of cool, and Billy Zoom, forget about it, that guy was a nut -- the way he would just stand there, near motionless and smiling, while knocking off all these great rockabilly licks on the guitar! :grin:

The Hungry Wolf
by John Doe & Exene Cervenka

I am the hungry wolf
And run endlessly with my mate
I see the gutter feed on the foolish
Outrun and kill the strong
At daybreak I roam awake to who follows me
I roam I roam

I am the hungry wolf
And run endlessly with my mate
Welcome to the dripping jaws
The alter of your death
At daybreak I roam ready to tear up the world
I roam I roam

The hungry wolf stares from the hill
At the villagers around the fire
She loves her mate as he loves her
And they live together for life

I am the hungry wolf
And run endlessly with my mate
Look across the street, my friend
We?re waiting for you to slow down
At daybreak I roam eyes in the back of my head
I roam I roam
