Gun Club

The Gun Club were an American post-punk band from Los Angeles that existed from 1979 to 1996. Created and led by singer-songwriter and guitarist Jeffrey Lee Pierce, they were notable as one of the first bands in the punk rock subculture to incorporate influences from blues, rockabilly, and country music. The Gun Club has been called a "tribal psychobilly blues" band, as well as initiators of the punk blues sound cowpunk – "He (Pierce) took Robert Johnson and pre-war acoustic blues and 'punkified' it. Up until then bands were drawing on Iggy & The Stooges and the New York Dolls but he took it back so much further for inspiration." more »

That line don't make it here no more

nothing reanimates the old times

black clouds to the west

darkness coming from the East Side

Get your friends out of the car!

we got a date in the trees tonight

take off your clothes, you ain't going far

you're going to give me fun tonight

Turn on the headlights

for the Idiot Waltz

turn on the lights

watch us fall

Your body don't get me off no more

it takes a lot of smack to do that

we never made love in the trees

or took you down on your mat

Now, winds of change

are blowing out the fire

I feel your breath on my neck

I hear the darkness and wires

Turn on the headlights

for the Idiot Waltz

turn on the lights

watch us fall

It was foolish to be alive

It was foolish in a foolish time

Turn on the headlights

for the Idiot Waltz

turn on the lights

watch us fall
