"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!!
