SHOTGUN Aw ah oh ah Aw ah oh ah Aw ah oh ah Aw ah oh ah a aw ah a Yeah, yeah Aw ah oh ah Aw ah oh ah Aw ah oh ah Aw ah oh ah Another day another dollar Another time to scream and holler If it’s not one thing it’s another Homicide before suicide Aw ah oh ah Aw ah oh ah Yeah i’m going crazy Aw ah oh ah Life is a continuously swirling eddy of despair Occasionally lit by brief glimpses of hope In an ever darkening universe Ego-tripping Shotgun Eight-shot clipping Shotgun Time for moving Shotgun Smell the smoking Yeah i’m going crazy I know everyone I’ve done everything There is to do around here Another day another dollar Another time to scream and holler If it’s not one thing it’s another And suicide is for chumps Ego-tripping Shotgun Eight-shot clipping Shotgun It's time for killing Shotgun Watch the bleeding I’m inside of you I’m inside of you too I’m your frustration felt By you and you and you Life is a continuously swirling eddy of dispair Occasionally lit by brief glimpses of hope In an ever darkening universe

What's A Head? 02:31
lyrics
She's the one that was always there One I could take from, the one that would share Wrapped me in blankets and paid all the bills Can't ask for more but I'm sure that I will Time was, a life was all that is gone Traces of me were all that were found Kiss my cold flesh, still veiled in smoke Revenge of the living is what you invoke Hidden life veiled in smoke Breathe the endless horror of death Cast in unearthly joy See the anger reflected in my eyes

Sacrifice 03:10
lyrics
SHE WAS MINE AT FIRST BITE ON THE NIGHT I CAME OUT OF THE COLD I WAS WRAPPED SO TIGHT, NEVER FELT SO RIGHT COULD IT BE? SHOULD IT BE EVER SO RIGHT? THERE'S A PLACE I KNOW WHERE IT'S DARK LIKE THE BLOOD IN MY VEINS IT RUNS HOT THOUGH I CAST NO REFLECTION IT"S PLAIN TO SEE THAT YOU ARE PART OF MY PLAN IN THE DARKNESS OF BIRTH THE LIGHT OF KNOWLEDGE IS TOO BRIGHT THE VOICES THEY'LL TELL ME TO FORGET BUT MY SOUL CAN'T FORGET ME THERE'S A LOVE IN MY HEART I CAN FEEL LIKE THE BLOOD IN MY VEINS IT RUNS HOT THOUGH I TRY TO HOLD IT, IT’ CHANGED AGAIN THIS LOVE MUST CARRY ME ON WHEN I WAS STILL MORTAL AND LIFE STILL WAS NEW I PICKED ALL THE DAISIES AND I GAVE THEM ALL TO YOU THERE’S A FACE I REMEMBER WITH LOVE LIKE THE BLOOD IN MY VEINS IT RUNS HOT THOUGH THE BEAST HAS LEFT ME ALONE THIS LOVE MUST CARRY ME ON THERE’S A SIGN AHEAD AND IT SAY’S SLOW DOWN WHEN YOU SAID YOU’D COME WE’D ALL WAIT AROUND AND THE HARDEST PART IS YOUR ON YOUR KNEES BUT YOU CAN'T COME BACK END YOUR WANTING PLEAS WHAT’S AHEAD? SACRIFICE WHAT’S A HEAD? SACRIFICE

Death 04:54
lyrics
DEATH Ungh I’m so tired, Death came a knockin at my front door You know I laid asleep, I ain’t up til four Cause on my day off, I don’t hear nobody callin I’m not like the others, who only try and stall he Came a knock, knock, knockin at my front door Then he went around back and tried some more I couldn’t fuckin take it for another god damn minute So I got myself up and I got down to it Yeah that’s right I was a little bummed out I wasn’t thinking of killing myself or anything jeez Well I let him in and he sat right down I started into chatting but he wouldn’t make a sound I had to think of something,I couldn’t go yet So I asked him if he’d like to make a little bet He finally spoke and I thought I saw him smile I think he took my bet just a little too mild We played a little game of nintendo vision I let him go first it was my best decision Yeah that’s right, some would say I’m playin with my life But I ain’t ready to go Heck (Cause)0 I got stuff to do I love the life That I choose to live The pleasure the pain is mine Playin with death, now that was rad I didn’t want to die and it made him feel glad He took another bong hit, he said with a groan Hey I’m overworked why don’t you leave me alone So I made it quick and won the game I didn’t break a sweat because he played kind of lame I offered him a beer, and he said thank you, the last thing I said was don’t call me I’ll call you hhhaaaaa Laughin in the face of death Add a little spice, a little zest to your life You’ll appreciate things more

about

October Feature - Review: GOBBLEHOOF Trouser Press
The fact that J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr) was the drummer on GobbleHoof's six-song debut ensured a measure of fanzine-level interest for the Amherst, Massachusetts, group. However, the person who really makes GobbleHoof worth hearing is Charlie Nakajima (who was in the pre-Dinosaur Deep Wound with Mascis and Lou Barlow), less a singer than a dramatic speaker with a commanding presence. His credit for "narration" rather than vocals is apt. As guitarist Tim Aaron reels off competent grunge noise (complete with wah-wah and all the trimmings), Nakajima recounts his lyrics in a weary, resonant deep voice, only occasionally reaching out to catch passing melody notes.
Mascis produced the full-length Freezer Burn, on which the even-more-imposing-sounding Nakajima and Aaron, plus a bassist, drummer and spare axe-wielder, repeat the EP's basic formula with increased intensity and imagination. A bracing blend of ominous storytelling ("Embryo," "Sadist," the sepulchral "Shotgun"), furious singing, precise desert-storm guitar and pinpoint dynamic control (acoustic guitar finds a brief home), Freezer Burn opens the door to a roaring dimension that might at various times have been occupied by the Doors, Alice Cooper, David Lynch, Danzig, Nick Cave and Black Sabbath. Far less ponderous than it might seem on paper, GobbleHoof butts heads like a dark-hearted metal band, but never bludgeons its targets without good reason.
