Seeing Red - Killing Joke

Egads, they recently opened for the Crue in Europe.
:oops: Doesn't seem right!
:cry:

They're dropping bombs again,
And they're doing it in your name,
All the rational commentaries in the papers that I read
Marmalade and buttered toast
And the smell of Sunday roast
Kiss the arse of Uncle Sam,
Oh to be an Englishman.


When you hear the sound of warning
When the only colour is red
Red sky in the morning
Everywhere I'm seeing red


Dawn brings a day of hell hours that we pawn and sell
A single magpie in the tree
One for sorrow one for me
Kick it off the cliff I said
Now the line fucks up my head
Too late to change this mode
Break all my moral code

Running from myself again
And all I feel is shame
It does't matter where I go
Everywhere just looks the same
This sense of emptiness
As we create this mess
Self-destructive tendencies
Are what you mean to me

Thank you, KROQ Spy. Guess I won't say you weren't good for anything.

What album is that from?

The Google search that I did said that it was a self titled work. Originally released in 2003.

Right- It's from the recent album (2003). The lyrics come with the album.

I never even heard of the 2003 album. Was pretty low key I guess or I'm just out of the loop/

I used to love Killing Joke has all their albums. Some of the later stuff they did was a bit disapointing though.

I guess that they sued Nirvana for "stealing" some of the muisc from Eighties that was used on Come as You Are. That suit was effectively settled by Kurt Cobain's death. Dave Grohl played drums on the 2003 CD so it sounds like everybody has kissed and made up.

Is Dave Grohl any relation to Annie Grohl, the famous painter?

Yeah, Glenn. It was actually in Indie's rotation for a little while. I remember not having any idea who it was and having to look up the lyrics (which took me forever because I couldn't discern any of them).
