Homicidal Suicidal

Written purely around a pretty heavy riff they were throwing around, according to guitarist Tony Bourge.

Lyrically, the song is about being stuck in a cycle of self-destructive behavior, portraying a character engaging in dangerous activities, such as violent crime and drug use. It emphasizes the consequences of these actions, while also adding that the person themself is also aware of the risks involved. The song climaxes with the narrator pleading for the character to end the cycle of self-destructive behavior before it is too late.

Basically, it serves as a reminder that, while engaging in dangerous behavior may seem exciting and rewarding at the time, the consequences could be deadly.

This is off Budgie's first album. Soundgarden have covered this as a bonus track on the single Outshined.

Yep! And with Soundgarden cover you get a very clear picture of how it would be their sound(Budgie, I mean)with a different singer; I have to admit it took me some time at first to get used to Shelley's voice, it always reminds me Geddy Lee, also bass player in another great power trio!. A funny coincidence...?

I think Geddy Lee's voice is Burke Shelley + Robeber Plant mix a little bit
