The Wildhearts - Splattermania

[@paul7t5]

Best proper British rock band of the past 30 years.

Listen to those guitar movements!!! Big movements! Pure command of melody... You just can't plan this kind of music, it just happens.

LYRICS
Play, relax, enjoy
'Cos you're frying tonight again
It's raw, unclean, uncut
And it's all for the art of pain
Just make-up and FX
Man, those movies, they twist the brain
My TV screen is dripping red
With Gates of Hell and Evil Dead
I cannot wait to see it up close
So slice away and go for gross again
It's splattermania, it's extra censored thrills
It's splattermania, it's zoom in on the kill
It's splattermania, I know you think I'm ill
But if you hold on tight and don't be shy
We're drilling brains and pulling eyes
It isn't real, the nation ain't in danger
It's only splattermania
Lucio, you're back
How we missed you when you were gone
Oh now it's time to splat
Like you did in The (full!) Beyond
C-c-c-counting down the sickest ways
To slice and dice your teenage prey
In Tromaville the violence mounts
To multiply the body count again
It's splattermania, it's extra censored thrills
It's splattermania, it's zoom in on the kill
It's splattermania, I know you think I'm ill
But if you hold on tight and don't be shy
We're drilling brains and pulling eyes
It isn't real, the nation ain't in danger
It's only splattermania
Splattermania
Splattermania
Splattermania
Yeah, yeah
High rollin’
‘cos everyone's looking
For someone to blame
Censorship rules
Still the problem remains
Watch with your eyes closed
And still you complain
'til no one has an independent
Thought in their brain
And it's always the same
It's splattermania, it's extra censored thrills
It's splattermania, it's zoom in on the kill
It's splattermania, I know you think I'm ill
But if you hold on tight and don't be shy
We're drilling brains and pulling eyes
It isn't real, the nation ain't in danger
It's only splattermania

C-c-c-counting down the sickest ways to slice and dice your teenage prey
In Tromaville the violence mounts to multiply the body count again!
Fantastic lyrics in this song. Ginger's bloody (pun intended) hilarious.
