Kontra – Sekobileet

Moog Konttisen luotsaaman Kontran musiikkia ei pidä ottaa liian vakavasti :-)

70-luvun lopulla yhtye julkaisi muutaman hämmennystä aiheuttaneen albumin. ”Kontran toinen puoli” nimeä kantava levy tarjoilee Sekobileet, todellisen omituisten otusten kerhon, johon narkkaritkin pääsevät mukaan.

”Nyt mennään sekobileisiin,
Sekoilu-sellaisiin.
On kaikki tervetulleet mukaan
Extaasiin!

Hyppää beibi mukaan vaan,
Pukeudu kumiin ja nahkaan
Ja muista ottaa ruoska mukaan,
Kun mennään sekobileisiin.

Huohota ensin puhelimeen,
Hukuta murheet Vodka Limeen
Ja pistä värinää elimeen,
Kun sekobileet sekoillaan.

Ja kaikki hintit ja lesbot, ne yhdessä tanssii,
Exhibitionisti pelaa pasianssii,
Kun suurimmat sadistit ja masokistit kans
Huutaa: Hei lyä mua, ja mää lyän sua!
Huoltopoliisit narkkareita jahtaa,
Tirkistelijät kulman takaa vahtaa,
Kun joku on koiran kanssa kontallaan.
On sekobileet huipussaan, jee!
Me sekobileet sekoillaan!

Nyt kaikki suutelee toisiaan,
Veljet siskojaan ja äidit poikiaan
Ja namusedät tarjoo namujaan,
Kun sekobileet sekoillaan.

Transvestiitit liivejä sovittaa,
Fetisistit salaa niitä koittaa.
Ja itsensä kiduttajat Kontraa soittaa,
Kun sekobileet sekoillaan.

Ja kaikki pyromaanit raapii tikkuja,
Negrofiilit etsii ruumiita,
Kun suurimmat sadistit ja masokistit kans
Huutaa: Mää lyän sua, jos sää lyät mua!

Absolutistit viinaa ottaa,
Ureanistit koittaa päähänsä pottaa.
Mä aion raapia sieltä mistä kutiaa,
Kun sekobileet sekoillaan, jee.
Me sekobileet sekoillaan,
Me sekobileet sekoillaan!”

Keef Hartley Band – You Say You’re Together Now

Keef Hartleyn viimeiseksi julkaisuksi jääneeltä Seventy-Second Brave -albulmita löytyy bändin basistin, Gary Thainin, säveltämä ja laulama upea You Say You’re Together Now.

Bändin hajottua Thain siirtyi Uriah Heepin riveihin ja soitti kaikilla Heepin kultakauden levyillä.

Thain kuitenkin kuoli 1975 heroiinin yliannostukseen 27-vuotiaana, kuinkas muutenkaan.

You Say You’re Together Now kertoo hänen omista kamppailuistaan aineiden kanssa.

Backyard Babies – I Love to Roll

Backyard Babiesillä meni 2001 lujaa. Dregenin elämänkerrasta napattua:

”Making Enemies Is Good -levyn äänityssopimukseen oli kirjattu kokaiinibudjetti, kevyesti naamioidussa muodossa toki. Se tunnettiin yleisesti nimellä ”Keksipurkki”. Sen olemassaoloon viittasi levyn avausraita, sattuvasti nimetty I Love to Roll, joka päättyy kollektiiviseen snorttaukseen. kaikki bändin jäsenet sekä studion vieraat kantoivat kortensa kekoon.”

”I love to roll with the 1, 2, 3,4!
Flashback! Time to drop the bomb!
Yeah! Boomshaka-lickebomb!
Love it! Hate it! Love it! Love it!
Hate it! Love it! Trippin’! Damn! Hate it!

Smashing Pumpkins – A Girl Named Sandoz

The Smashing Pumpkins coveroi hienosti tämän The Animalsin biisin uransa alkuvaiheessa singlen b-puolelle.

Biisissä kerrotaan tytöstä, joka opettaa kertojan pahoille tavoille. 1938 Albert Hoffman keksi LSD:n Sandoz-nimisessä laboratoriossa.

”Well I met a girl called Sandoz
And she taught me many many things
Good things, very good things
Sweet things

I met her on a Sunday morning
It was hot though the snow lay on the ground
Strange things, very strange things
My mind has wings

Sandoz Sandoz
Will you tell me no?
Sandoz Sandoz
Will you tell me why?
We could all learn something from your mind, yeah

She is very old yet many think she’s young
One kiss from her and you know your time has come
Good times, for all times
Sandoz”

Sanni – Kokaiini

Noh joh… Sanni rinnastaa Kokaiini-biisissä rakastumisen ja huumeiden käytön.

”Uudet viivat, uusi nousu
Sä oot climax ja lasku
Hallusinaatio ja ekstaasi
Loputon jatkumo, näytä parhaasi
Sä oot kuin kokaiini, pidät mut lämpimänä
Sä oot vahvin huumeeni, hitaasti tapat mut
Tapat mut, tapat mut

Veressä kiehuu, kun sä kosketat
Rinnassa riehuu, kun irrotat
Suhun koukussa, en pääse pakoon
Pidät kasassa, sun takii hajoon
Sä oot kuin kokaiini, pidät mut lämpimänä
Sä oot vahvin huumeeni, hitaasti tapat mut
Tapat mut, tapat mut

Sun huulet, mun niska
Annan kemikaalien potkia
Joo, mä lopetan taas huomenna
Mut luulen, et tarviin neuvoja
Kun nää varjot katseen alla, huudan taas uutta annosta

Uudet viivat, uusi nousu
Sä oot kuin kokaiini, pidät mut lämpimänä
Sä oot vahvin huumeeni, hitaasti tapat mut
Tapat mut, tapat mut
Hitaasti tapat mut
Tapat mut, tapat mut”

Eminem – Going Through Changes

Yksi Recovery-albumin oleellisimpia teemoja on Eminemin kamppailu pillereiden väärinkäytöstä kohti selväpäisyyttä. Going Through Changesissa tätä matkaa ruoditaan hyvin.

”I lock myself in the bedroom, bathroom
Napping at noon, yeah dad’s in a bad mood
He’s always snapping at you
Marshall what happened that you
Can’t stop with these pills, and you’ve falling off with your skills
And your own fans are laughing at you
It become a problem you’re too pussy to tackle
Get up, be a man, stand, a real man woulda had this shit handled
Know you just had your heart, ripped out and crushed
They say Proof just flipped out, homie just whipped out and bust
Nah, it ain’t like Doody to do that,
He wouldn’t fuckin’ shoot at, nobody, he’d fight first
But dwelling on it only makes the night worse
Now I’m popping Vikes, Percs, and Methadone Pills
Yeah Em tight verse, you killed it
Fuckin’ drug dealers hang around me like Yes-Men
And they gon’ do whatever I says, whenever I says it
It’s in their best interest to protect their investment
And I just lost my fuckin’ best friend, so fuck it I guess then”

Staind – It’s Been Awhile

Stainedin läpimurtolevyn ”Break the Cyclen” hittisinglellä Aaron Lewis taitaa laulaa omasta rimpuilustaan kokaiinin kanssa.

”And it’s been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it’s been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it’s been awhile
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it’s been awhile
Since I could call you

And everything I can’t remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I’ve rendered
I’ve stretched myself beyond my means

And it’s been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn’t addicted
And it’s been awhile
Since I can say I love myself as well
And it’s been awhile
Since I’ve gone and fucked things up just like I always do
And it’s been awhile
But all that shit seems to disappear when I’m with you

And everything I can’t remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I’ve rendered
I’ve gone and fucked things up again

Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day!

And it’s been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
And it’s been awhile
Since I said I’m sorry
And it’s been awhile
Since I’ve seen the way the candles light your face
And it’s been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste

And everything I can’t remember
As fucked up as it all may seem to be I know it’s me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me

And it’s been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it’s been awhile
Since I said I’m sorry”

Humble Pie – 30 Days in the Hole

Taitaa kertoa kaverista, joka joutui 30 päiväksi vankilaan huumeiden käytöstä.

”Roll my tape
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Thirty days,
Anyone doin’ that one?
I’m doin’ that one

30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole

All right all right all right all right, yeah

Chicago Green, talkin’ ’bout Black Lebanese
A dirty room and a silver coke spoon
Give me my release, come on
Black Nepalese, it’s got you weak in your knees
Sneeze some dust that you got buzzed on
You know it’s hard to believe

30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
That’s what they give you
30 days in the hole
I know

Newcastle Brown, I’m tellin’ you, it can sure smack you down
Take a greasy whore and a rollin’ dance floor
It’s got your head spinnin’ round
If you live on the road, well there’s a new highway code
You take the urban noise with some dirt with poison
It’s gonna lessen your load

30 days in the hole
That’s what they give you now
30 days in the hole
Oh, yeah
30 days in the hole
All right, all right
30 days in the hole

What you doin’ boy?
You here for 30 days
Get, get, get your long hair cut
And cut out your ways

Black Nepalese, it got you weak in your knees
Gonna sneeze some dust that you got busted on
You know it’s so hard to please
Newcastle Brown can sure smack you down
You take a greasy whore and a rollin’ dance floor
You know you’re jailhouse-bound

30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole
Oh, yeah
30 days in the hole
30 days, 30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole”

Cannibal Ox – Painkillers

Elämä on tekee kipeää ja kipua voi lievittää jos jollakin.

”You know we rap drugs and pain kill
Cause life’s ill

Yo, some nights we got so drunk
Its like we miss the feeling
Of a never ending headache
And a spinning ceiling
The sob story of an alcoholic
On his hands and knees
Praying to that porcelain toilet
Whether behind bars or in front of scars
We use medicine to numb the rap bar
I might tell you something that’ll change your death
Pain kills the life
Pleasure loves the breath
Ox a-cappell
I’ll spit this in hell
With L’s hanging off my body
And no ice cooler
Every rhyme I write
Is civilize my future wife
Breaking her water
In a time without order
Yo, chaos is born
A seance is spawned
And I resurrect light beams
That resemble the red dawn
I guess that’s why I was born
To recognize the beauty of a rose’s thorn
And learn from the strife of a soul that’s torn
To be forewarned
Just to be forearmed
So let that thought settle
As we backpeddle
Through the seven seas of info
That’ll crush your ego
Some of us pop pills and snort coke
To pain kill
Some of us rap drugs and bear witness
Cause life’s ill
Y0, but true happiness comes from within
You can’t rely on a substance
Look at addiction for instance
And in an instance
You’ll wake up out of that
Requiem for a Dream
But you still caught it in the rectum

Right here trapped in the box
Thinkin’
Rap’s all I got
Smoke too much pot
Bones with ?chromes? twisted in knots
Cold vein with thoughts
Bubbling hot
Stoned in the bedroom
Writin’ this poem
Off the phone
Caught a head rush
Smoke clouded my dome
At the end of my ropes
Writing these notes
Hopin’ to float
Above this bullshit
Pull spliffs blowin’ the ghosts
The sky’s the limit
Stay high with vision
Visualize the body righteous
Lost cipher
The mind’s wisdom
Helped me through life’s transitions
I’m in a tight position
Hungry-ass shit flippin’
With no sex or wretch
This stress got my chest a mess
Breathless
I’m vexed
Trying to escape out of the depths
Of hell’s nest
So I rest inhale
The trauma blessed
And let the stress exhale
Through clouds of cess
My mind foggy
And body wet
Poppin’ shotties
Shot straight through the nostril
Cloudy with thoughts of ill type menageries
When pops used to tell me
”it wasn’t like this
With drugs and sex
Up in my day”
But poppy
Shit really changed
Yo niggas is losing their minds
And I can’t really blame them
I’m losing my brain
In these times
And I’m angered with hangovers
Ready to ride off a cliff with a Range Rover
Like I was fuckin’ Thelma & Louise
And if I had a trigger I would squeeze
But ?leave?
Blow my whole head off and bleed
Trying to get that same feeling
Every day pain killing”

Gravediggaz – Defective Trip (Trippin’)

Trippailu ei aina mene putkeen.

”want to see something that could make ya sick?
Stand in front of jets on the Gaza strip
I used to take puffs from a car, jet in my garage
Then I get blitzed from the charge
I felt my head swayin, my eyes in a daze
Felt and violence and off balance I got drugged for days
A room full of smog, I dipped it in my dart
then I threws it at my dog
I need another hit, Hurry, Quick! Hurry, Quick!
My high’s takin signs and the shit’s about to kick
I’m gaspin’ for air, my vision disappears,
I’m blinkin’ and I’m thinkin’ Yeah!
Word, cause that’s the shit I was hawkin
So stay the fuck away ’cause I spit when I’m talkin
Stupid, Stupid, Stupid, Stupid Punk
When I’m trippin’

Chorus

Some people like cheeba, some like brew,
I get mad lifted off four gallons of glue,
Pretty soon I spin like a top, In the middle of the room
And the shit won’t stop!
Now What I see when I triiiiippppp…
The rats in the basement all start to flip,
All through my building, from door to door,
I swear there’s a fire, so I piss on the floor,
Now down the corridor was old fat Ned,
Schemin’ on a blowjob from a crackhead,
He was like ’hey want to piece little man?’
I was like ’Yo, I’m better off with my haaaannnndddd!!!!!!!’
Oh shit, reality returns,
I need another hit but the glue won’t burn,
I’m cukoo and murderous, Just plain nuts,
smokin’ sodium menthol cigarette butts,
and trippin’…

Chorus
(yo, pass it man)

86 on the strip, and yo’ my hands was…,
the reaper, the keeper, my niggaz let’s get… i put the high on the stimuli,
I’m like the two face, like the signs of gemini,
My head keeps on spinnin’, constantly continuin’
Two tabs of mescaline, fucks up my adrenaline,
I’m in a… Uhhhh… I can’t escape it,
It’s like… uggghh… goddamit I hate it!
So take it like a (brine), from the grapes of a vine,
The wine, it fucks up my mind, everytime,
I’m goin’, and all I want to be doin’ is bonin’,
But like a dope fiend character I’m…,
I’m stuck, fl-fl-flipping, sssslipping…
I’m tripping…

Life of the…
Can be stopped by accident
When you’re tripping
(Cuz I’m trippin’)”
