Nerve Gas
From Kill Hannah
Contents |
[edit] Info
Nerve Gas has been recorded three seperate times, and appears on both of Kill Hannah's self released LPs. It was recorded once again for For Never And Ever but did not make it onto the album. As of March, 24 2008 this version of Nerve Gas was officially made available on the UK release of Until There's Nothing Left Of Us. Previously a rough mix of the song was briefly available to stream for a short time on Kill Hannah's official myspace.
The Here Are The Young Moderns version of Nerve Gas also appears on a cassette tape with Lovesick. This was given out by the band for free at shows around 1997. This is commonly and erroneously referred to as the "Lovesick EP." The American Jetset version also appears on the 5 song Kill Hannah EP.
As with nearly all early independant releases by the band, the lyrics section for Nerve Gas on Here Are The Young Moderns and American Jetset is accompanied by the guitar chords.
[edit] Lyrics
[edit] For Never And Ever Version
Standing here in the balroom as
The dancers twirling
Everything to the marching drums
And lying here in your yard alone
As all the old war pilots have gone
It's how this little bird heart got so cracked
But they'll sleep deep tonight
Oh yeah won't they for sure
Well we'll just be
sleepwaling these dirty streets
'Cause thats how we are!
Nerve Gas over us!
Just leave that Nerve Gas on!
Lying here in your yard alone
As all the paratroopers drop
It's how this little bird heart
Got so fucked!
I won't sleep deep tonight
Oh no I can't for sure!
I can't sleep deep tonight
'Cause thats how we are!
Nerve Gas over us!
Just leave that Nerve Gas on!
'Cause thats how we are!
Nerve Gas over us!
Just leave the Nerve Gas on!
I won't sleep tonight
Oh no I can't for sure!
I can't sleep deep tonight
Why can't we just carry on?
[edit] American Jetset Version
Jam (C# B A) Verse (E B C# A B A B A) Chorus (C# B A A-E A-E)
Standing here
As the dancers are twirling
Everything to the marching drums
And lying here in your yard alone
As all the old war pilots have done
Oh this little bird heart got so cracked
I can't sleep deep tonight
Oh no I can't for sure
Nerve Gas over us!
Just leave the Nerve Gas On!
Landing here in your yard alone
As all the paratroopers drop
It's how this little bird
Just got so cracked
So I can't sleep deep tonight!
I can't sleep deep tonight!
