the rollins "birthday party" ripoff (not on the lyrics though)

Zeno, Monday, 14 April 2008 17:44 (seventeen years ago)

really it's a tie between all of the lines that mangle the idiom "WITHIN an inch of her life" into "TO an inch of her life"

with "she turns on all the apartment lights on" as a close second.

also "the heed and the hate"? i hope for Henry's sake that someone transcribed the word "heat" wrong.

This is like Jewel on steroids.

LOL actually that's a pretty accurate description of Henry Rollins in general, isn't it!

HI DERE, Monday, 14 April 2008 17:51 (seventeen years ago)

this is nothing compared to the lyrics of "hey henrietta" and "men are pigs" (a lorena bobbit style of a story) from the "drive by shooting" e.p.

"And when she screams she turns on all the apartment lights on"

usually a woman screaming results in breaking the mirrors or turning the lights off, but Rollins is original...

I'm gonna become a wedding DJ just to drop this gem of a track.
