| Queens of the Stone Age – Bloody Hammer (Roky Erickson cover) Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
The story behind this song can be heard on Roky Erickson & the Aliens "The Evil One (Plus One)" deluxe album. It's in the track "Modern Humans Show 5"
Here's what Roky said: (Please note that I typed the story from listening to the track so there could be some parts that I missed a couple words.)
"It's a story I read in school, a true story about these college kids. On their initiation into the college they had them go into this house where this man had cut his wife up and they had to stay in there for an hour at night. The first person went in, he didn't come out. The second one went in and he didn't come out and the third person came in and he didn't come out. Finally the other fraternity members went in and went to look for them they couldn't find them. And they heard this tapping in the attic. When they went in the attic there was one of the pledges there and his hair had turned stark white and his eyes had rolled up in his head and he was hammering the attic floor with a bloody hammer."

I've heard this song for the first time last night, yet it seems very familiar. I keep listening and listening tryin gto figure out how I've heard it before but can't place it. Was this song in a TV commercial? Video Game? iTunes ad? Movie or TV show? If anyone can help me I'd really appreciate it! |

@ all the punk talk.
Punk is dead. Get over it.
The closest thing you can get to punk these days is paying $5 to get into an indie-punk concert in some dudes basement. |

To me this song is about Ian and his extra marital affair with Annik Honore. He has to decide between staying with his wife and child, or his girlfriend. "Two ways to choose, which way to go. Had thoughts for one, designs for both." In the book Touching from a Distance, it was said that Ian thought he married too young which makes sense with the "had thoughts for one". |

this song reminds me of Rushmore like something that the character Max would sing. |
