Black Aggie 03:12
I saw you first on a cold dark night Among the shadows of the pale moonlight Dancing in the graveyard all alone Reigning like a queen among those old headstones As I looked into your eyes I was in for quite a surprise Black Aggie, no you'll never take me Black Aggie, no you'll never take me Black Aggie, no you'll never take me Never gonna take me, take me alive You said that you'd love me 'til the bitter end There was no use in trying to pretend We're bound by something deep down inside Come here, you said with your arms open wide As I sank into your cold embrace An evil look came across your face You'll never take me alive You'll never take me alive You'll never take me alive No you'll never take me alive I'm gonna break out, I'm gonna survive

Bombed last night, bombed the night before Gonna get bombed tonight some more Huddled with the lads in this man made hell Dream another dream when all was well Warning us, they're warning us One shell hole for the four of us Thank your lucky stars there's no more of us So one of us will fill it alone Bells of hell go ting-a-ling Ringing for you and me The devil has a song he sings with glee Oh Death, where is thy sting-a-ling O Grave, thy victory When the bells of hell are calling for you and me Gassed last night, gassed the night before Gonna get gassed tonight some more Huddled with the lads still breathing air Dreaming of a time when life was fair Killing us, they're killing us One respirator for the four of us Thank your lucky stars we can all run fast So none of us will take it alone Shot last night, shot the night before Gonna get shot tonight some more Huddled with the lads who are still around Thinking of the ones who got gunned down Pushing us, they're pushing us Over the top for the four of us Thank your bloody stars we'll all die quick So none of us will suffer alone

Everybody hates someone, That's what I'm told. It's a line they gave me, Or so the story goes. You can't force me love 'Cause I just don't care. Don't force me to hand out 'Cause I don't want to share. United we fall, divided we stand. Don't put your trust in the soul of a man. It's all for none and none for all Divided we stand, united we fall. Forced into places I don't want to be. It's called earning a living; No one works for free. You can't get me to learn Or be a part of your team. I do what I want If you know what I mean. Smoke and mirrors, That's all I see. You want me to live a life That just ain't me. You can't get me to serve Because I couldn't care less. Don't ask me to fix your life That's become such a mess.

So, my friends, gather 'round, Harken to the heavy hitting monster sound Of rock'n'roll, raw and pure; The beat that brings you back for more. Get off your seat! Jump around! Feel the music pulsate through the ground. A muster call for all who hear A back beat battlecry banishing fear Feel the tension, the end is nigh! Fire and brimstone fall from the sky! The world grows cold as the sun's beams turn to black. There's only one way, You've got to lose control. Get your body moving to save your soul. Are you ready for a Ragnarocknrolla? It's meet and right that we're all here, Daring to defend what we hold dear. The lines are drawn without regret The World Tree groans, the battle's met! Axe-time, sword-time, the shields are rent; Wind-time, wolf-time, the world is spent! Fear filled, drum drilled, we make a stand The end of the world is now at hand! So, my friends, gather once again. A new beginning springs from an old end. The steady sound of rock'n'roll Will never die because it never grows old. The mighty rise, reborn at last. Back to the future, forward to the past. Standing proud, standing tall, Standing strong, we will never fall!

Tonight 03:58
Guess what? Here I am Sick of being quiet. I don't like what is going on. So that I think I'm gonna riot And I want you all to come along! No more nonsense, no more shit; Tonight, tonight, so let's deal with it. Tonight we break out all of the windows! Tonight we knock down all of the doors! Let's get our voices heard, Because actions speak louder than words! What's up? What are you gonna do? I don't hear anything you say. All I can say is, "Hey, fuck you!" And I want you to just go away. Hey, you! What stance are you gonna make? Will you go with them or come with me? I'm bent so far I'm gonna break; I just wanna live life and be me!

about

The Snallygasters Baltimore, Maryland

Named after the mythical monster of Maryland folklore, the Snallygasters began in late 2008 as a synthesis of such seemingly disparate influences as the Sex Pistols, Rainbow, the Cockney Rejects, Thin Lizzy, Slade, and the Clash. As such, the band plays music that is at once familiar but also hard to pigeonhole into any existing sub-genre of punk rock. ... more
