Guts Lyrics

Cover art for Guts lyrics by Budgie

So begins the first album of the most underrated rock band of all time, Budgie.

You gotta love the 'descending blizzard' that is the main riff and the song contains wonderfully twisted, ironic lyrics. They seem to be from the perspective of a lonely, desperate person who is incapable of seeing his own arrogance and cruelness towards the opposite sex.

The first half displays the sheer desperation of this character, the longing for someone to love, and the second his abusive mind. If he actually finds a lover it'll be so he can string her out emotionally and physically and use her for his own selfish gains. This makes the song highly ironic and full of pity. Also evident is a need to have power over someone else, to be the boss 'I wanna love you again, and then again and again'. It's like the other person will have no choice.

This person has no 'guts' and is not a good guy, but you feel bad for him.
