Joe's Head Lyrics
Blistered cracked and bleeding
Cold no one should know
Rain falls down a freezing
And sticking like a snow
Lingering suspicions
Screaming in my head
Lies all mixed up with omissions
Aw welcome home again
It's too late for apologies they're falling at my feet
This is just the way of the world Joe said
I had to put a bullet into his head
Then lit up a cigarette
Decided to call his fat friend Fred
Well he said Fred I just killed a man
Caught him laying with my girlfriend
Now they're both dead, people can be so cold when they're dead
Calling all the neighbors
Time to make amends
Whiskey floods the table
Aw good friends 'til the end
They're making silly faces and it's tasting bitter sweet
This is just the way of the world Joe said
I had to put a bullet into his head
Then lit up a cigarette
Decided to call his fat friend Fred
Well he said Fred I just killed a man
Caught him laying with my girlfriend
Now they're both dead, people can be so cold when they're dead
Cold no one should know
Rain falls down a freezing
And sticking like a snow
Lingering suspicions
Screaming in my head
Lies all mixed up with omissions
Aw welcome home again
It's too late for apologies they're falling at my feet
I had to put a bullet into his head
Then lit up a cigarette
Decided to call his fat friend Fred
Well he said Fred I just killed a man
Caught him laying with my girlfriend
Now they're both dead, people can be so cold when they're dead
Time to make amends
Whiskey floods the table
Aw good friends 'til the end
They're making silly faces and it's tasting bitter sweet
I had to put a bullet into his head
Then lit up a cigarette
Decided to call his fat friend Fred
Well he said Fred I just killed a man
Caught him laying with my girlfriend
Now they're both dead, people can be so cold when they're dead

A southern rock version of Sublime's "Santeria".Can Kings of Leon write a bad song?I seriously don't think it's possible!
I agree with Heart Breaker to an extent, although you have to take into concideration the fact that it seems in this case the roles are reversed, as in the Jimi Hendrix song "Hey Joe" (Great Song) Koe is the one who is killed his girl friend, which can be show with the line "'Hey Joe i heard you shot your woman down' then 'yes i did i shot her you know i heard she was messing around.... etc" In the kings of leon song it seem that joe is being killed by another man whome Joe is sleeping with. I don't exactly know what to make of this but... meh ill get back to you all. Anyone feel free to contridict me or finish my arguement for me. Tschüs
The lyrics in this song sound strangely like the lyrics in Hey Joe by Jimi Hendrix Hey Joe was about a guy killing his wife coz he found out she was cheating on him and so is this song and his name was Joe too--WHAT A COINCIDENCE!!
I love this song so much, it's hilarious
the imagery of him shooting the guy and then lighting up a cigaretter is so very perfect.
bob420 is so right this song has pretty special lyrics probably their best and thats saying someting however i thought that the opening few lines were "mr crab i'm bleedin go and wash your nose"
lol
sorry bout the spelling :P
opps i meant another man who's girl friend joe is sleeping with
This one's very self explanitary no need to go on!
Stay cool
