Still rule
Sorry for the info

I really need to brush up on my ROSE TATTOO collection. We´ve got some albums on vinyl but I´m too lazy to go look at which ones right now. My memory sucks.

I saw them at Wacken a few years ago. And got their first album when it was released. "Nice boys (don't play rock 'n' Roll", "Austra Wally", their songs are great. Angry Anderson is one of metal's precious icons!

 

[Runehammer]

The Butcher and Fast Eddy! Saw them back in 84-5, great band.

I have Angry is the butcher,but could admit to it because IT WAS MURDER hhahaha

"Now, I'm gonna win this fight said Eddy
Yeah...'cause I'm gonna take a knife, and I'm gonna take a gun
But Butcher, he told his mates as they gathered 'round
I got two good fists, and you know I never...
Never ever ever been afraid of anyone"

You know that Sir Anderson

While I'm at it hehe




It happened in the suburbs north of the river
Where the smokestacks scrape the air
And gangs of short haired boys roam the streets
Get out of there way, 'cause there out to get there share
Now Butcher, he was the leader
Had a reputation for being tough but fair
He knew life was just a gamble
So he lived from day to day without a care

Stick around and I'll tell ya
About Butcher and Fast Eddy

Across the river lived Fast Eddy
He was known to be treacherous, very mean
Even Eddy's sweet young sister out on the streets
Just a girl, barely fifteen

Now Fast Eddy, he led the rival gang
And he claimed he was better...than most
One day I'm gonna fix that Butcher
Always seemed to be this cocky braggart's boast

There's only the quick and the dead
I wanna know who's layin' down

Now, I'm gonna win this fight said Eddy
Yeah...'cause I'm gonna take a knife, and I'm gonna take a gun
But Butcher, he told his mates as they gathered 'round
I got two good fists, and you know I never...
Never ever ever been afraid of anyone

And it came the night, at last for their meeting
I can't lose said Eddy, 'cause I'm the best
But the cold light of morning found Eddy
His own switchblade knife...buried deep in his chest!

Yeah that's it all....Oh-WOW Butcher, and Fast Eddy
Yeah that's it all

And the law never did touch Butcher
And I'm so glad, 'cause I know so well
He was a born with a wild free spirit, and he never...
He never was the kind to live locked up in some dirty stinkin' cell

And the kids, they still talk about it
In the back streets and alleyways around town
They still talk about that cold, windy Saturday night
That old Butcher...ya know, he put Fast Eddy down...


All The Lessons (Anderson/Cocks)
I was a rough boy babe I was a tough boy babe
I really made you bleed
I used you babe and I abused you babe
Now tell me what more do you need
What more do you need

Don't turn the other cheek
Unless you want it beaten in
Fight violence with violence
It's the only way to win

All the lessons we gotta learn
All the bridges we gotta burn...burn 'em
All the lessons we gotta learn
All the bridges we gotta burn...gonna burn 'em

Leave me alone, don't talk to me
'Cause I got nothin' to say
Oh Leave me alone don't tell me the rules
'Cause I don't want to play
I don't want to play

Don't turn the other cheek
Unless you want it beaten in
Fight violence with violence
It's the only way to win

All the lessons we gotta learn
All the bridges we gotta burn
All the lessons we gotta learn
All the bridges we gotta burn...burn 'em
Ow! Gonna burn!

Don't kiss me babe, don't miss me babe
I won't remember your name
Don't hold me babe I told you babe
For me it's just a game
It's just a game

Don't turn the other cheek
Unless you want it beaten in
Fight violence with violence
It's the only way to win

All the lessons we gotta learn
All the bridges we gotta burn...burn 'em
All the lessons we gotta learn
All the bridges we gotta burn...burn 'em
All the lessons we gotta learn
All the bridges we gotta burn
All the lessons we gotta learn
All the bridges we gotta burn
Gotta burn 'em, yeah!
I'm gonna burn 'em!



Assault & Battery(Anderson/Cocks)
The charge was assault & battery
The judge said there'd be no bail
The charge was assault & battery
They dragged me off to jail

I did no crime she was no friend of mine
Vengeance and justice went hand in hand
But there's a law for the rich, and a law for the poor
And I'm just a workin' man, I'm just a workin' man

They took no notice of her tears
But they were gettin' drunk on her fear
I arrived in time to spare her fate
That little girl would feel no shame

I did no crime she was no friend of mine
Vengeance and justice went hand in hand
There's a law for the rich, and a law for the poor
I'm just a workin' man, I'm just a workin' man

The charge was assault & battery
The judge said there'd be no bail
The charge was assault & battery
And they dragged me off to jail

They turned on me mad, crazy and mean
I stole 'em the cake, they were gonna cream
They leapt on me like a pack of dogs
Pullin' me down, they wanted me flogged

Punchin' and fightin' I got to my feet
Determined to leave their blood on the street
If I went down now they'd kick me to death
That sweet little girl would be left a wreck

I did no crime she was no friend of mine
Vengeance and justice went hand in hand
There's a law for the rich, and a law for the poor
I've been a workin' man, I've always been a workin' man

Their waitin' on me when I got out
And they stabbed me full of holes
It's now a case of kill or be killed
Unwritten jungle law

I did no crime she was no friend of mine
Vengeance and justice went hand in hand
There's a law for the rich, and a law for the poor
I'm just a simple workin' man, I'm just a simple workin' man

The charge was assault & battery
The judge said there'd be no bail
The charge was assault & battery
Three years in the stinkin' jail

The charge was assault & battery
The charge was assault & battery
The charge was assault & battery

Yea "The Butcher and Fast Eddy" !! One of the most requested song in the Dynamo pub in the 80s! Great song. Real drama too .

Man they were great at Wacken. Their live cd was recorded during that gig!

 

[Greeno]

This is a band I need to check out. For some reason they got by me. I see some of their vinyl around used every now and then, need to give them a try.

 

[Runehammer]

They're kinda like AC/DC with slide guitar.

 

[Hawk]

Yea but with the street cred added to the mix
