Red Hot Chili Peppers - Deep Kick (Album Version)

From their 1995 album One Hot Minute.

(Lyrics)
It started when we were little kids.
Free spirits, but already tormented by our own hands
given to us by our parents.
We got together and wrote on desks
and slept in laundry rooms near snowy mountains
and slipped through whatever cracks we could find,
minds altered, we didn't falter
in portraying hysterical and tragic characters in a smog filled universe.
we loved the dirty city
and the journeys away from it.
We had not yet been or seen our friends, selves,
chase tails round and round in downward spirals,
leaving trail of irretrievable, vital life juice behind.
Still, the brothersbloodcomradespartnerfamilycuzz was impenetrable
and we lived inside it
laughing with no clothes, and everything experimental 'till death was upon us.
In our face, mortality.
And lots of things seemed futile then, but love and music can save us,
and did, while the giant grey monster grew
more poisoned and volatile around us,
jaws clamping down and spewing ugly shit around.
Nothing is the same.
So we keep moving.
We keep moving.

(Ooooooooooooh Shit! Ooooooooooooh Shit!)

Went off and got some hair cuts
Lookin wild and got all drugged up
Hopped a train into the night
Got a ride with a transvestite
Two boys in San Francisco
Two boys in San Francisco
Blasted off in a Bart bathroom
Those coppers woke us up
The mothersfuckers woke us up

Two young brothers on a hovercraft
Telepathic love and belly laughs

Storm the stage of Universal
Slim shine talk boy go subversal
Papa's proud and so he sent us
Pounding hearts full and relentless
Two boys in London, England
Two boys in London, England
Climbing out of hostel windows
Wearing gear so out but in though
Come on kid and do the no no

Two young brothers on a hovercraft
Telepathic love and belly laughs

(Oooooooooooh Shit! Ooooooooooooh Shit!)

We went to Fairfax High School
Jumped off buildings into their pools
We'd sit down and grease at Canters
Run like hell they can't catch us
Two boys in L.A. proper
Two boys in L.A. proper
Stealin' anything that we could
Gotta sneak into the Starwood
Gotta peak into the deep good

I remember...
10 years ago in Hollywood
We did some good
and we did some real bad stuff
but the Butthole Surfers said
It's better to regret something you did
Than something you didn't do
We were young
And we were looking
looki-i-ing
looking for that deep kick...
Seen 'em come, seen 'em go...

(And I feel I'm getting close to you)

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BETTER GUITARRIST.... IS JUST DIFFERENT, UNLESS THEY WERE PLAYING THE SAME THING , THIS IS NOT FOOTBALL OR NASCAR, THIS IS ART, NO SUCH THING AS A BETTER OR WORST, NAVARRO IS UNIQUE, SO IS JOHN, IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND IT THEN YOU ARE AN IDIOT...

[Antaninani]

One Hot Minute is definetely chili's most underrated album, i love the dark and sad touch Dave Navarro put into it. This is actually an astonishing album for me. We cannot compare Dave and John, they're so different and good in thir own ways

[rumel02]

@CarapelliSugar more capable doing what? playing for the peppers? maybe,even if you were right, being better for the peppers doesn't make him better guitarrist, you'd have to count janes fans against pepper fans, is as if i said.."frusciante is better for the peppers than jimmy page would be for the peppers" of course i'd be right, 'cause page is a different player, for different band, he just never happend to be in the peppers, you cannot measure better unless they were playing the same thing.

[CarapelliSugar]

@rumel02 It is more of, a better guitarist FOR the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They even agree that John was great for the Chili Peppers, and Dave was better for Jane's Addiction. Either that, or it is that he thinks John is a more capable guitarist, which I do. Sorry, but JOHN FRUSCIANTE IS THE FRICKIN' BEST!!!

[WAMEDJO]

This album's mad, but I think this particular track is positively the craziest amongst all !

[JeremyJackal]

I LOVE the part at the end when Flea sings. At least I'm pretty sure it's Flea

[justkilledit21]

@mrgorgun explain what album marked the point where they stopped caring about their music, because each album sounds as soulful as the last. This band loves what they do, so do alot of bands thats why they make careers off of it. The ones that sell out are the young idiotic bands who rush for the most popularity they can as soon as they can.

[mrgorgun]

@justkilledit21 knowing what these guys can do,the latter material aint mature,in fact its like 20 year old pussy hungry rock star wannabes looking to make easy money by making popular music,not putting enough thought to it..and being a fan dont necessarily mean rootin for every piece of work a band you like throws your way.i am a die hard fan of early pearl jam albums but after no code its plain garbage,did they grow mature? sure, was it a good thing they did? by no means..

[mrgorgun]

@Ogloboi yeah agreed,i can go as far as californication wasnt THAT bad for some songs but after that its a shame really..

[justkilledit21]

@Ogloboi i hate fans who think like you, they only listen to the old album of bands and get scared and aggresive the second a band gets more mature and comes out with new material. And they also get pissed when bands dont change and claim "oh they suck they dont have any diversity!!!". FUCK YOU, its people like you who just like to complain no matter what happens. You are NO RHCP FAN.

[Ogloboi]

@mrgorgun exactly! finally somebody understands this. but to me there are three phases: 1) the real old school: the two first albums; 2) the shift to early funk-metal on 'the uplift mofo', then mother's mill; and 3) blood sugar and one hot minute (which, for me, is blood sugar's dark/camp brother). and then... the band died and their body was possessed by aliens from Planet Lame.

@rumel02 You can say that one guitarist's style fits in better with those around him or it doesn't. Dave Navarro doesn't fit in as well with the "Sound" of RHCP. Thus, I would argue that John is better for RHCP than Navarro was.

(Also guitarists will openly admit there are certain nights they are not playing well, so my guess is you have no idea what you're talking about)
