Broad White Ties

from Black Owls by Black Owls

/

about

A song about dirty rock clubs, of which we frequent.

lyrics

Oh the dirty argonauts
and ladies painted up like trash
with power slides and bleak divides
& eyes as black as Afghan hash

with bloody face and bloody knuckles
& troubled girls in glaze of meth
and guitar heros falling flatline
and the singers singing songs of death

with whipped up matted heads of hair
cowboy hats and glitter tights
there's beer on ice and there's sacrifice
& broad white ties and lighter fights

now get your ass up out the dungeon
and get those drunks up on the stage
now tell the press to mind the bottles
enact that band to act their age

I've seen them breaking bones of bastards
& I've seen them fall upon the floor
this band is trouble in a body bag
they get the bootlace out the back door
