"I know what you are, I just don't mind..."
Needle in the Hay (duh)
Between the Bars
Drink up, baby, stay up all night
With the things you could do, you won't but you might
The potential you'll be that you'll never see
The promises you'll only make
Drink up with me now and forget all about
The pressure of days, do what I say
And I'll make you okay and drive them away
The images stuck in your head
People you've been before that you
Don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
Drink up, baby, look at the stars
I'll kiss you again, between the bars
Where I'm seeing you there, with your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught
Drink up one more time and I'll make you mine
Keep you apart, deep in my heart
separate from the rest, where I like you the best
And keep the things you forgot
People you've been before that you
Don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
... and anything else of his. Just be sure to keep in mind as you listen to his heartbreakingly downtrodden voice that he wanted to die so badly that he stabbed himself in the heart with a fucking STEAK KNIFE. Like Nirvana and AIC, his music is depressing in the context of his death. SUPER depressing.
- Alice in Chains - anything, particularly
Unplugged- Jane's Addiction - Ritual de lo Habitual (full album)
- Sublime - just about anything (one of the VERY few bands with a singer who OD'ed tragically young - and like, a week after getting married, at that - that is actually cheerful rather than suicide-inducing).
- Acid Bath - Paegan Terrorism Tactics (full album)
