Here’s my severed head on a plate.
Just how you would want it.
Cut out my heart from my chest.
Oh Lord, it’s still bleedin’.
Tie my body down if you must.
We wouldn’t want me getting up.
Honestly I believe I look much better like this.
Douse me in holy water. You know I need it.
Standing with your hands on your hips, like I should have seen it coming.
Wash your hands clean from the blood.
It was never your fault it was Judas and his kiss.
Put a sponge of vinegar up to my mouth.
Oh Lord, I hope I’ll be missed.
Douse me in holy water. You know I need it.
Stick a spear through my ribs.
Come get your wine.
I hope you ain’t been waiting too long.
No I’m not my best, but I don’t plan on getting better.
Stop wasting your prayers and wishes on me.
I know where I’m bound. I guess that remains for you to see.
All I had to give was this apathetic shrug.
So roll my body up in a rug – warmer and tighter than your last embrace.
Was I always a disgrace?
Set my body afloat on the river.
Light me up with an arrow from your quiver.
I hope you ain’t been waiting too long.
No I’m not my best, but I don’t plan on getting better.
Stop wasting your prayers and wishes on me.
I know where I’m bound. I guess that remains for you to see.

An absolute banger from our all time favourite Canadian band. Also, we got Vincent featuring on our new album, and we're pretty amped about it. Ruff Majik

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art?
But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space. frankwurst
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
