Brats - Complex (Don't Destroy Me)

Track 5 from Brats' album 1980.

Music and lyrics by Yenz.

LYRICS
Don't! Don't destroy me
No! No!
Avoid me
I don't want you
But you need me it seems
Don't add me to your list of wrecks
I wanna live out my dreams

Let me rest and rebuild
Till I'm strong again
Invade another head, oh

I know she's gone
But I am gonna rise
I know it always ends up wrong
But please don't touch my eyes
So let me see the way, I used to
Please don't touch my eyes
You pestilential complex
Please don't rape my mind

Let me rest and rebuild
Till I'm strong again
Invade another head, another head

Jens Arnsted - vocals, bass
Hank Shermann - guitars
Michael Denner - guitars
Monroe - drums

Brats were a danish group formed in 1977, originally playing punk rock. The original line-up featured guitarist Rene Krolmark (Hank De Wank, later Hank Shermann), drummer Eddie Haircut, vocalist Franz De Zaster and bassist Mickey Rat. They appeared on Pære Punk compilation LP with songs "Dreams", "I do what I wanna do" and "Magazine". Later, Hank recruited two new members - vocalist/bassist Jens Arnsted and drummer Lars Nybo (Monroe). Shortly after recording several songs (released in 2008 as The Lost Tapes: Copenhagen 1979) the trio was joined by another guitarist, Michael Denner and Brats were moving closer to heavy metal. The band signed with CBS and released their debut album 1980. Shortly after, Mike was replaced by Carsten Van der Volsing, while King Diamond joined the band as the new vocalist. Jens and Monroe left and three remaining members went on to form Mercyful Fate.
