History's Stranglers

About History's Stranglers

"History's Stranglers" is a song by the Los Angeles-based punk rock band The Bronx, released as the first single from their 2006 album The Bronx. While the album was released by the Island Def Jam Music Group and the band's own label White Drugs, the singles for all of their albums have been released exclusively in the United Kingdom, through Wichita Recordings. The single was released on both compact disc and 7-inch vinyl, the latter pressed on transparent vinyl and limited to 1,500 copies. The B-side song, "Venice", is an outtake from the album's recording sessions. The cover artwork was designed by guitarist Joby J. Ford. The music video for "History's Stranglers" was directed by Mike Piscitelli. It depicts camcorder footage of a child's outdoor birthday party, with the band members' heads composited over some of the children's. The children engage in various activities such as playing on a playground and in an inflatable structure, receiving balloon models from a clown, and breaking a piñata. At the end of the video the birthday boy, with the head of singer Matt Caughthran, throws a tantrum and smashes his own birthday cake. more »

Alright

I left with shaking hands, looking for danger
Details of modern love, in bed with strangers
And there is no warning, I'm not ignoring

I cut glass on my callused feet
Cause I walk through miles of make shift mud
Motherf*****s I want your blood

I got the hands of history's stranglers
And the midnight sky reflects off my skin
I got the flesh of a million strangers
Your never gonna see me closing in
Yeah, while you're sleeping

No need for safe return, is no need for your concern
There is no warning, I'm not ignoring
I follow you across the county lines
And these beads of sweat feel like a flood
You motherf***** I want your blood

I got the hands of history's stranglers
And the midnight sky reflects off my skin
I got the flesh of a million strangers
Your never going to see me closing in
Your never going to see me closing in
While you're sleeping

Breaking through your window, stabbing through your ribcage
