Grew up in the magazines / Threw up till your legs they looked so slim / Been to all the biggest shows / Shut down when the world went up your nose / Been dragged in the bitter mud / But you still pose a golden god / You knew what it was ment to be / The paper's front page aint for free / Going up and over / Look at what you’ve done / Going down and out and up and over / But you’re just going around /
When you hit rock bottom / SHOOT IT UP / When you hit the ground / Just SHOOT IT UP / Every time I see you shooting up along the way /
Now and then when I see your face / Your thin bones breaking down with grace / You can’t be a number one / We all forgot that you’re around / Been dragged all around this place / And you’ve turned out as such a mess / I know what you ment to be / But you wont get your ways with me / Going up and over / Look at what you’ve done / Going down and out and up and over / But you’re just going around /
When you hit rock bottom / SHOOT IT UP / When you hit the ground / Just SHOOT IT UP / Every time I see you shooting up along the way / Up along the way back home /
If you / Realy / Want it / So bad / You should / Try to / Face the real life / But if you’re gonna kick it / Shoot it / Back to / Your old / Habbits / End up bruised and beaten down / Take another one and you’re down /
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
