Harvey Danger - Flagpole Sitta




"Flagpole Sitta"

I had visions, I was in them,

I was looking into the mirror

To see a little bit clearer

The rottenness and evil in me


Fingertips have memories,

Mine can't forget the curves of your body

And when I feel a bit naughty

I run it up the flagpole and see who salutes

(But no one ever does)


I'm not sick, but I'm not well

and I'm so hot 'cause I'm in hell


Been around the world and found

That only stupid people are breeding

The cretins cloning and feeding

And I don't even own a TV


Put me in the hospital for nerves

And then they had to commit me

You told them all I was crazy

They cut off my legs now I'm an amputee, Goddamn you


I'm not sick, but I'm not well

And I'm so hot cause I'm in hell

I'm not sick, but I'm not well

And it's a sin, to live so well


I wanna publish 'zines

And rage against machines

I wanna pierce my tongue

It doesn't hurt, it feels fine

The trivial sublime

I'd like to turn off time

And kill my mind

You kill my mind

Mind...


Paranoia, paranoia

Everybody's comin' to get me

Just say you never met me

I'm runnin' underground with the moles

Diggin' big holes

Hear the voices in my head

I swear to God it sounds like they're snoring

But if you're bored then you're boring

The agony and the irony, they're killing me, whoa!


I'm not sick, but I'm not well

And I'm so hot cause I'm in hell

I'm not sick, but I'm not well

And it's a sin to live this well

(One, two, three, four!)


Harvey Danger成立於1992,

來自西雅圖,

曲風主走Post-Grunge,

在輕快的節奏中,

卻又不失厚重的刷弦,

而不時出現的小提琴和Keyboard總是帶來難以想像的驚喜。

該團由同大學的吉他手Lin和Bass手Huffman因為"It might be fun to start a band"的想法而組成,

雖然92年就成立,

94年做了第一次的表演,

並在97年發表了第一張專輯"WHERE HAVE ALL THE MERRYMAKERS GONE?",

但他們卻整整等到了98年末才因為這首歌在電台上成為most request song而走紅。

始終在獨立音樂界打滾的他們,

在2005年與西雅圖當地的獨立廠牌"KILL ROCK STARS"簽約,

並在2006年7月底重新發行了第三張的專輯"Little by Little..."。

起初在"Photographic Record"發行這張專輯的時候,

他們開放了BT和官方網站下載,

而後則正式推出了唱片,

唱片有著下載版所沒有的B-side,

也因此初版的1000份cd很快的便銷售一空,

實在是很另類的銷售手法。

P.S. 他們翻唱老團English Beat的"Save It for Later"也很好聽喔!!
