about

Classic song from the legendary Toska album.

lyrics

I'll take a butcher knife and cut off my head
Send you an email says my body is dead
You want me to love you but you, you gotta love me, too

I'll put holes in my hand and a bullet into my brain
So you can say your saviour's come and gone again
You want me to love you but you, you gotta love me, too

I'll pull up my bootstraps and pack up my case
I'll light a fire, babe, and burn off my face
You want me to love you but you, you gotta love me, too

I'll find the strongest wind and fly off this rock
I'll leave behind a text message says lock, stock, and teardrop
You want me to love you but you, you gotta love me, too

I'll grow wings from my back and grow out my stinger
Peel the skin from my body, babe, and pull off my fingers
You want me to love you but you, you gotta love me, too

The moral of this tale is to do unto others
Insects can fly, babe, and monkeys eat their brothers
You want me to love you but you, you gotta love me, too

Red Mouth Muscle Shoals, Alabama

A strange brew of Son House, Captian Beefheart, Elvis and Nick Cave, backboned by stomping, driving Muscle Shoals rhythms. All resulting in a gospel experience through a gothic Alabama that your typical singer songwriters won't be guiding you anytime soon. ... more
