Ah, the Have Nots love songs.
Chicken Hawk was about Greg, plain and simple. At the time he was 31 or 32 and messing around girls still in high school. Joey wrote the music and we thought the short cover of TSOL's Code Blue in the center because Joey wanted to have a slow part but nothing seemed to be working. In a way it is our ode to the Vandals including the aping the drumming style of Josh Freeze.
Dancing on Graves was Paul's masterpiece. At first known as the hoppin song and often was mistaken for Stepping Stone. It's about falling in love with what you think is the most beautiful women in the world and then finding out she a lying cheating cunt. In the end what burns you the most is that the quickness in which she moves on and how calculated it was.
Lyrics:
Chicken Hawk:
Sure I love you
but you can't get into the bar
so I'll swing by your house
and we'll fuck in my car
Chorus:
Come her little chickie, here's a candy bar
Come her little chickie, I'm twice your age
Come her little chickie, hell, I might be your dad (hell, Greg
might be your dad)
Come her little chickie, cause I'm a chicken hawk.
Come home with me
we won't go to far
we'll play spin the bottle
and naked movie star
Chorus then TSOL's Code Blue
Soon I'll get sick of you
then I'll start in on your friends
of course I'll lie about
and you'll fuck me in the end
Dancing on Graves:
In a winter of discontentment
with the music out of key
I fell into a state of destruction
and the arms of impurity
She's a picture of perfection
keeps every tiny thought in place
While my mind is a cluttered
with emotions she'll never trust
chorus:
She's-Fucking Strangers
while I'm-sleeping alone
She's-dances on graves
while I'm out of her life
At 2 O clock in the morning
she looks like a train wreck to me
wrapped in the arms of a new
in his eyes I see the innocence I lost
