this song sounds like john doe from X singing a bob dylan song

Terry's band "The Ones", was practically the house band of the 507 Tavern on Capitol Hill. They played at least one a month and usually more.

Terry was a bartender there as well.

I was and am surprised that he never hit it here in the states. He lives in France now and plays Western Europe.

I bought Sub Pop 200 when I was 10 and at the peak of my Nirvana obsession. Got it for Spank Thru but it was also my introduction to tons of classic grunge bands I'd previously only read about in Come As You Are. And then there was this song, which quickly became my favorite thing on the whole compilation. Quite possibly the flat-out prettiest thing Sub-Pop issued during that era. It's just a beautiful recording, with the ethereal vocal echo and eerie feedback interlude.

@rhettpeter83 part3:

I saw the pawns of war run, stand in line

Neatly pressed and folded clean cut boys and blind

How they follow, how they follow no revolting

I wish they would, how I wish they would

Ask the questions why

Why

Oh they never do

SORRY HAD TO SPLIT IT UP BECUAE YOUTUBE LIMITS LETTERS

@l0ph0nis part2:

Little men carry guns and walk so big

They say they are not afraid, just prepared yeah

But you know they want to use it

They want to drop the "geek"

They want play the hero and talk of life that's cheap

Hangin' on to nothin' or more than they can keep

Do you think that they would dare less?

Do you think they'd lose their sleep?

Oh they never do

@pok0000 part1:

Lonely lovers cry, why me lord I didn't mean to do it

But I saw red when she kissed him back and I lost control

The carnage spreads and their blood it mingles and is very red

But maybe they'll get up and laugh and walk and breath again, no

Oh they never do

[schoaskopf]

i envy you, i wish i lived in that time too...
