Lyrics
your dead meat
your dead meat
your dead meat
your
your dead meat from former days
I am your crisis
blue asbestos in your veins
I’m your broken fingers
I’ve killed you twice I will again
revenge is eager
see first you’ll crash then you’ll burn
dor’thy died for your pleasure
It’s hard to get along
in this car-crash weather
weather
your dead meat
your dead meat
your dead meat
your
your dead meat formaldehyde
didn’t phase me
I soon returned to track you down
for your confession
I’ll be your poison and your pain
I’ll be your struggle to be sane
exploited, lament and the places you never went
dor’thy died for your pleasure
It’s hard to get along
in this car-crash weather, car crash weather
dor’thy died for your pleasure
It’s hard to get along
in this car-crash weather
car-crash weather
car-crash weather
weather
I’m doing you in tomorrow
that’s why i’m dressed in all this sorrow
I’m doing you in tomorrow
I’ll burn before I mellow
dor’thy died for your pleasure
It’s hard to get along
It’s hard to get along
It’s your dead meat from former days
It’s your dead meat from former days
It’s your dead meat from former days
It’s your dead meat from former days

Band Thoughts:
“Deals with the subject of revenge. I was inspired by a film entitled ‘Star 80′. It was based on Dorothy Stratton. It’s about a girl who comes back down to earth to make someone pay for what’s she’s been through”. – Gavin
“And I like the idea of her coming back to haunt this place, this person:’I'll be your poison/I’ll be your pain/I’ll be your struggle to be sane.’ Fuck, imagine if you could control the madness in someone’s head. Wow. I’m not violent, though I have violence in me.”- Gavin
“…I enjoyed playing it more than anything else on the album.”- Nigel
“”Dead Meat” is about Dorothy Stratton from the film STAR 80.”-Gavin
question: ‘In No Doubts new song Ex-Girlfriend Gwen uses the same lyrics that are in Dead Meat “You say you’re gonna burn before you mellow, I’ll be the one to burn you” did you know about it? Did you and Gwen discuss this? How did it come about?? ‘… answer: “I didn’t know that; she’s completely written me off! I guess she’s just answering me. In my song, I say “I’ll burn before I mellow.”-Gavin
Staff Thoughts:
“This song ISN’T about Gavin going crazy and teaming up with evil cows who try to kill people who eat too many burgers to revenge a cow named Dorothy? Coulda fooled me. I think I’ll stick with my version, it makes more sense. You’ll proabably never hear a Bush comeback to that Ex-Girlfriend jibe (whip sound).”- Brandyn
did you catch?:
The slick refrence to “Little Things”?(killed you twice/i will again) Wasn’t that cool?
And of course, No Doubt makes a refrence to this song in Ex-Girlfriend, off the Return of Saturn CD (you say you’re gonna burn before you mellow/i will be the one to burn you). Owch. – Brandyn
“It’s a good song, but it could be better if they changed the title. It just throws the whole mood off from the beginning. Or maybe just the phrase ‘deadmeat’ irks me. I still like the song reguardless.”-Laura
