1000 SONGS - DAY 64: SONG # 92

DAY 64: A song that takes you into the heart of darkness

Although fire is a bright thing, this is a song about darkness, methinks. Kerosene by the so-called noise.band Big Black, band founded by the influential musician and producer Steve Albini, has originally been featured on their album Atomizer (1986):



I was born in this town
live here my whole life
probably come to die in this town
live here my whole life
never anything to do in this town
live here my whole life
never anything to do in this town
probably learn to die in this town
live here my whole life
nothing to do
sit around at home
sit around at home
nothing to do
stare at the walls
stare at each other
wait til we die
stare at each other
wait til we die
probably come to die in this town
live here my whole life
theres Kerosene around
something to do
theres Kerosene around X2
she's something to do
theres Kerosene around
find something to do
theres Kerosene around
shes something to do
theres Kerosene
set me on fire...Kerosene
Kerosene
Set me on fire
Kerosene around
shes something
Kerosene around
now what do we do
theres Kerosene
now what do we do
jump Kerosene
now what do we do
Kerosene around
jump Kerosene
never anything to do in this town
never anythng but jump Kerosene
set me on fire Kerosene
set me on fire
