Cool & Unusual Punishment Lyrics
The mistress bar in Roppongi is the place
For Japanese hardcore, not the kind you’re gonna find at the record store
Not the kind designed for the kind hearted
Go directly to Osaka Jail
Where you get locked or drunk under the table
You can visit hell and come back again
For the process of hurting and healing
Cake and candle wax dessert
It’s not fun ‘til someone gets hurt
Who’s the next to get hung from the ceiling?
They got the cool and unusual punishments
Get on your knees for Japanese instruction
Rope and cigarette burns, forget about any health concerns
This is pure assisted self-destruction
One bad deed surely deserves another
Bruised from bamboo caning
Coming home try explaining this to your significant other
It's refering to this! at about 3:30 they even play this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZZhz3o4C8s
The S&M underground in Japan.
whats at the beginning of the song?
This song reminds me of 13 stitches. I think they are really simular. In the begging and end it's a lady saying she's sorry. I'll get the exact translation soon.
okay, so yeah it's kind of hard to translate, but she is basically saying various japanese appoloigies.
kampai is something you say before you drink in japan; like bottoms up. shibari means bondage fetish, sake is rice wine served hot (i speak japanese)
either this song is about the screwed up police system in japan. (which they can torture you and stuff for small criminal offenses), or about a bad experience in japan that NOFX had. i know they go on tour they a lot.
okay, so i get it now, they get japanese hookers and get tortured by cops
Obviously theres a great price to pay for getting with Japanese prostitutes...I do not really understand the end though.
at the end he says that he got brusied from police brutaliaty and when he comes home, hes going to have to explain how he got that to his wife
This has nothing to do with the police at all. It's all about an s&m club. The bit about Osaka jail is probably a dungeon reference.
What's not to understand about the ending? Getting spanked by a mistress leaves very telling marks that's hard to explain to a partner, hence one bad deed deserves another (the punishment for unfaithfulness).
The dialog in the beginning sounds really familiar. I'm sure it's taken from a movie. Ichi the Killer mabye. I think I'll have to go throuhg my film collection to find it now.
Well from the start shibari is the form of tying some one up.
Roppongi is an area of Tokyo where all the partying happens.
Osaka is a prefect on mainland Japan. Very large city.
Kanpai is a phrase used just before drinking.
The rest of the song is pretty straight forward. Its a song about BDSM.
