Horrorshow - In Lyrics
Don't push me 'cause I'm
Close to the edge
I'm tryin' not to
Lose my head, a-ha-ha-ha-ha
And a fuck you for anyone who doubts me
As I walk the streets armed with the faith
That these boots will be enough to get me home in one piece
I exhale, breathe the air
Smoke trail got me thinkin' 'bout the reason I'm here
'Cause I'm only 19 but my mind is old
Sydneysider heatwave to Minnesota cold
Cold like the streets of the Cross where underages
Litter the pavement, this ain't "Paradise", it's "Innocence Lost"
Cold like the veins of the junkies
I swear to God somebody died on my block the other night
A life lost to a domestic fight, and that shit ain't right
Now my picket fence don't look so white
I wonder what possesses a man to kill his wife?
And as if that wasn't enough, we got these fuckin'
Poker machines sucking the souls of our single mums
See, I'm like Tim Freedman, I wish I could blow 'em up
For all the futures that they ruined and the homes they've broken up
Now that's proof of a cold world, they package an addiction
And they sell it as a game, but anyway
Times are exponential, two-party preferential
And though it's incremental, day-to-day we makin' change
So here I am still tryna make this stone bleed
In the city of late trains and broken dreams
Where you rap with your talk, or you graff on the wall
You gotta make something outta nothin' at all
And yes, I built this house, I made it wrong
I watched it crumble, now I'm moving on
Now shit is rotten to the core, what a pity
We don't wanna be forgotten, it's why we write our stories on the walls of our cities
I'd write 'em all for you if I had the time
In 40-foot high letters 'cause they're important
It's enough of a challenge handlin' mine, take it one day at a time
Treadin' water and crossin' borders
Next to me a baby's cryin' for his mum as the ground's leavin'
Economy class with chaos all around me
But I don't even care, I'm not even there
Frozen in a blank stare with my headphones blaring like:
Don't push me 'cause I'm
Close to the edge
I'm tryin' not to
Lose my head, a-ha-ha-ha-ha
Nothin' in my pockets but a boarding pass and a passport
Plus an "I love you" for the friends I never asked for
It keeps me safe, guards me from the sickness
Like a pocketful of posie as I walk with the wicked
Talk with a quickness, never let 'em catch up
They wouldn't play with you if they could see the odds was stacked up
So you pack it up, move it town to town
Gotta study how the local village people get down
Ridin' through the night on a tube train
Having revelations 'bout my place in the food chain
Lookin' out the window at the world whizzin' by
I'm determined to do something with my given time
And to begin with I'ma fit it in a rhyme
Watch us plant this forest one seed at a time
So shit, I spend my days hopin' but by the same token
We here to get our chains broken and our names spoken
So this is my dot on the map, my drop in the ocean
My patch of dirt, and I'ma make somethin'
Make somethin' work, make somethin' feel
Make somethin' hurt to make somethin' real
Make somethin' out of me, make a friend out of you
Then again, make an enemy if need be
So just let me be, let me rest
Let me sleep, let me wake
Let me eat, let me grow
Be at peace, let your guard down
Let me close, I'll let you see
Let you know, let you near
Draw you in, let you hear
Show you things, I'ma let you in
Said I'ma let you in
Said I'ma let you in
Horrorshow, 2009
One time for your mind, said I'ma let you in
'Bout to take you inside
"So here is us, on the raggedy edge. Don't push me, and I won't push you"

joo @whannyd
f**k you for anyone who doubts me 👤 amazin lyrics brothers 🚶♀️🏃♂️
For me Horror show has some of the best lyricism that I've heard. Favourite oz rap
to all previous argument s below about who's better , the answer is bliss n ESO for those of you who havnt herd them do it now and for those that have herd bne im sure you will agree with me
+fred yEaaaah... Nah.
fred lol . Noob
great song
I hate how you used someone elses lyrics, you may be good but that's rookie
I swear the 1st verse just described a part of forest gump.
How was this not a bigger hit??
they used a firefly quote at the end. that's sick.
hoods are better. stfu
lol you fuckwit
Was just about to say the exact same thing! :P Peace.
I really dont understand why motherfuckers are going on about the POKIES when there is great music to comment upon.... I never comment i dont use fagbook. but this tune deserves a good comment big time... HORRORSHOW squad good go solo your lyrics are perfect dont ever get brainwashed to talk absolute shit. if it takes u thirty years to write a descent, so be it ...U changed my life for the better. Skuds oner lad takin ova. LOL
Yeah, I love this song because It represents more then what other rappers have to say. You don't hear 360 talk about this, this is from the heart, his music is from the directors pockets. Respect, love Horrorshow, young and focused. Really, I don't not like any song they have made, all their beats tell a story.
very attractive song
love the last part
Can feel how thought out each word is, none are out of place.
love love loveee
best thing ever right now
@wishingtree9 its just a sense of reality. you should understand the frustration he speaks, if not then fuck off and dont consider yourself a true hip hop scholar.
@NaughtyMan1000 haven't you seen happy feet?
@NaughtyMan1000 You've never heard that song ? "THE MESSAGE" from Grandmaster Flash ?
@Jackhelm1993
grandmaster flash - the message
BLISS N ESO FT. HORRORSHOW CANT WAIT!
@Whannyd yea fuck yes its the way to make money get fuckers drunk and then they stupidly gamble all their money away ahah
@Spikesoldat Haha yeah. Im actually heading out to Vegas in the morning. Im currently backpacking in MAerica atm. The problem in Australia the pokies are not only in Casios but they are also in Bars, Pubs RSL clubs and alot of other places.
Once they used to have live entertainment to bring patrons to their drinking hole now they just have pokie machines as their revenue.
Ah yea I know all about casinos we love em here in America too. Never heard em called poker machines but im not a big gambler anyway.
@Spikesoldat Agggh ok. Poker Machines are slot machines. They have pretty much invaded the places where we drink and socialise. They have replaced bands and live entertainment. They also cause ruin to many families who get addicted to pokies and fall into heavy debt. The reason why there is so many is because the government heavily tax them so they make alot of money out of peoples mis fortune.
So by poker machines does is he referencing abortion? Idk if its an aussie term but im american so ive never really heard someone use it.
@NaughtyMan1000 read song description. Very end. = ]
@Spikesoldat Fucking poker machines.
In the next line he makes a reference to Blow up the Pokies by the Whitlems (Another great aussie band) watch?v=Ogj5ztTE0zw
Cant make out this one lyrics wondering if anyone else will know. these fucking what? machines sucking the souls of our single mums.
Bit late but poker machines
@IzzyZiemska Everything Horrorshow does is solid just listen to it all
@IcEmAn23104
" The Party Life" and " Put it to Your Head" Thanks man.
Sick mate. Awesome lyricism.
@jako34 *than... and you should watch your mouth. Both are good, and so much better than all other music. So yeah
@NaughtyMan1000 hahaha no mate its a song aggggeeeessss ago. i forget the artist though
horrorshow are the best in the whole of oz maybe the world haha there lyrics are tight meaningful and there flow is amazing
@Whannyd
It's cool if you can't. Thanks for a reply.
@masmantour Hey man. Im acyually travelling the world atm so I don't have the luxury of good internet. I will try and remember to put them up when I get setup somewhere, this could be months away though.
@Whannyd Hey man can get " Put it to Your Head " and/or " The Party Life " uploaded. I can't find them anywhere, and I thought you might have them. I would buy the CD but I prefer the actual CD and it's just to expensive to get it shipped. Thanks either way man.
they need another mc
Such a great track, a future classic for sure. There's a certain weight to the lyrics that I just think will really stand the test of time.
@IzzyZiemska My favs would be: Uplift, Choose None, The Party Life, All Summer Long, Note to Self, The Rain, In My Haze, She, Walk You Home and the new one with Seth Sentry: "Our Song"
@IzzyZiemska Looks like your English teacher needs to give you some more lessons :P
@deadpanify Or
jbhifionline,,com dot au
@Whannyd
woo found it thanks bra that song was mad live he liked screamed it went off haha
@Hamanos1 @Hamanos1 I think your thinking of "Choose None". He says "Baby, are you fucking stupid?"
HI GUYS
can anyone tell me what the horrorshow song is where there is a mad bit where they yell BITCH ARE YOU STUPID or something like that. i heard it at splendour and it was mad but i was so drunk and i cant find it anywhere, its a mad fast paced song with good flow any help would be awesome!
Almost a decade late here. If you haven't discovered this song, or a search engine for that matter - you would be thinking of "choose none"
amazing!
@lekshoofelwahash1 Most Oz Hip Hop has meaning, I can link you to some songs you might like if ya wanna pm me.
probably listened to this album 100 times aha
soooo good !
They are definitely different to Hilltop Hoods, as to being better that is up to everyone own opinion I suppose.
