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 »

I'll take you sleeping up the street

But I'll take you very softly

I'll take you under the parking light

And hold you very softly

Just like a soul, your face will shine

Even though your mind has blown

Was the type of love, a much better kind

When you were on your own?

You are taken, going down

Way down to Blood City

You are taken, going down

Through the bloody red eyes of Blood City

Look above you, for the sky is black

And the asphalt is blue

Throw yourself right down on your back

Look at me for what to do

I don't take what is given to me

Just take it from the land

Was the type of love a much better kind

When you were with another man?

You are taken, going down

Right down to Blood City

You are taken, going down

Through the bloody red eyes of Blood City

I'll take you sleeping up the street

I'll take you very softly

Right under the parking lights

And I'll hold you so softly

Just like a soul, your face will shine

Even though your mind's been blown

Was the type of love, a much better kind

When you were on your own

You are taken, going down

Way down to Blood City

You are taken, going down

Through the bloody red eyes of Blood City

Right to Blood City

Right to Blood City

Oh, right to Blood City

Oh, right to Blood City
