Continuing on the punk theme: The Misfits. I could’ve picked any one of their songs, as fronted by Glenn Danzig, they are all fantastic. I thought, instead of picking a popular one, I would go for something a little more obscure and darker. This track, I beleive is about Ed Gein, whose story has been told by many other bands featured in playlists over my years as a music lover. The Misfits were a great influence on my teenage years, and continue to this day. Danzig has a way with lyrics and his voice always fits the subject matter…
The corpses all hang
Headless and limp
Bodies with no surprises
And the blood drains down like devils rain
We’ll bathe tonightI want your skulls
I need your skulls
I want your skulls
I need your skullsDemon I am and face I peel
To see your skin turned inside out, ’cause
Gotta have you on my wall
Gotta have you on my wall, ’causeI want your skulls
I need your skulls
I want your skulls
I need your skullsCollect the heads of little girls and
Put ‘em on my wall
Hack the heads off little girls and
Put ‘em on my wallI want your skulls
I need your skulls
I want your skulls
I need your skulls
I want your skulls
I need your skulls
I want your skulls
I need your skulls
