Screaming Females - Bell Lyrics






One foul swoop on the jaw of man
May pull apart his frame
In for the money
I'm suspect
To me it's just the same

You'll have me
With or without
Until our ship floats away

Golden tongues for more respect
And some quiet time
Kiss the carpet
You're suspect

  1. M.... N....

    Love this

  2. R.... N....

    hows she doing these days? i know she was having some health issues. fibermueralga or some such.

    R.... N....

    They still tour like mad, so I assume she's doing okay.

  3. E.... H....

    bet she listen to Dokken in between her Patti Smith and Rancid fits!

  4. V.... R....

    this video is such a masterpiece and so is this band

  5. F.... M....

    marissa you are the greatest, i love you , love your band, never break up!

  6. h.... r....

  7. n.... w....

    Pac-Jersey!!

  8. l.... ....

    So, does anyone know the line after "Kiss the carpet/You're suspect"? Every lyrics site on the tubes is missing that line.

  9. X.... ....

    this band is quite unique, very odd, but cool.

  10. L.... M....

    she's a great guitar player.

  11. a.... ....

    fun video

  12. T.... J....

    What other 3 piece female fronted decent lead playing bands are out there?
    None.
    Throw in a little 5ft2 tomboy with the voice of a 60 year old jazz singer. Pepper it with
    grunge and sonic youth.
    Why isn't this alot bigger than it is?

    T.... J....

    Baywitch in Seattle

    T.... J....

    uhhhhhh, Crying? Yeah Yeah Yeahs?!

    T.... J....

    I actually like her lead guitar work although I think it has nothing to do with the tune of the song. She knows how to pull out the fireworks.

    T.... J....

    Fuckin Slothrust dude

    T.... J....

    Female-fronted fuckery you say?


    Slothrust
    Bully
    Speedy Ortiz
    Blood Red Shoes
    Skating Polly


    Though no one hammers like Marissa, she's better on guitar than most guys.

  13. m.... ....

    marissa looks like carrie brownstiens little sister LOL

    m.... ....

    M.... ....

    +Keegan Duperron
    you ever beat someone with a belt? you ever seen world war one era artillery go off and obliterate a bunch of cows off in some eastern french pasture? you ever fly in a b17 flying fortress? listen to bach in a bathtub filled with sacrificial pigs blood. one girl strangling you with the belt you used to beat her with a few minutes before. the other, jerking you off. limp biscuit till death mafk. real talk.

    M.... ....

    No I think your shit! Screamales are the best indy thing out there right now.

    M.... ....

    +Jbeliski "the smartest dodo"

    M.... ....

    so edgy. so cool

    M.... ....

    you're joking. i like the snark, but relax on the belt stuff, man (or girl). it stings when hit by a leather belt.

  15. G.... T....

    love this

  16. M.... K....

    This girl is a new Karen O! Perfect voice and energy.

    M.... K....

  17. M.... ....

    That tomboyish look

  18. w.... ....

    So much bands I haven't listened to in a long time since my old hard drive fucked itself. I miss Power Move.

  23. S.... C....

    great stuff

  24. L.... ....

    AGREED!!!!!

  25. C.... B....

    This tired comment.

  26. t.... g....

    First time I heard of Screaming Females was in a J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr) interview. The interviewer asked him what bands he was listening to theses days and he answered something like "I haven't been listening that much lately, except for Screaming Females." So I googled and youtubed it and WOW, what a find!

  27. N.... ....

    who the fuck are you?

  28. s.... ....

    her playing isn't sloppy.. her tone is just heavy.. everyone has had tone like that at some point.. kurt cobain for instance.. what's special about her playing is the fact that she could do all that and sing at the same time... anyone who could do that is a fuckin beast at guitar..

  29. p.... p....

    you know nothing about the "indie" world then matey, because if this were A gUy people would actually be lording him for his disreguard of regimented guitar playing and calling him a creative genius

  30. n.... ....

    out of key? I can guarantee you that isnt true. I know this song well, and have been a guitarist since age 4 and I can personally attest to her being a very good guitarist. My guess is the sloppiness you are hearing is due to fuzz boxes being used and dirtying up the signal. I like this, but if she were to turn those off Im sure you find very nice note definition. And anyways, sloppiness is something often done on purpose, not something to be mocked.

  31. B.... C....

    Yes, you are so right! Everyone here is sexist against men because they enjoy this music and her guitar playing! Thank God you're here to set the record straight and be completely sensible and uninflammatory about it, too! If it wasn't for you telling me how what I like is wrong, I might actually enjoy great music like this, Heaven forbid! Asshole.

  32. T.... ....

    If you think this girl "shreds", you're either...
    A) Not a guitarist and have no clue what they're talking about.
    B) Are doing a disservice to this girl by treating her like she's a better guitarist than she is strictly because she's a girl! If this were a GUY, it would be "He plays a bunch of sloppy notes in a jumbled mess of soloing, many of which aren't on key." But because indie dweebs are in love with her (as well as her fellow riot grrl lezbees), she "shreds." Her voice sucks, too , btw.

  33. P.... ....

    @MrRezzKing You suck, your music preferences suck. Please leave.

  34. A.... ....

    @MrRezzKing lol fuck off

  35. C.... T....

  42. e.... ....

    marissa is so beautiful
    saw her sing with ted leo and the pharms at siren music festival, it was bombin

  43. f.... ....

    I saw them at The Dead Weather show in Detroit last summer and this chick's solos tore my face off. It was one of the best live shows I've ever seen.

  44. S.... C....

    Dude!
    The music is hot !

    And the guitar solo is Wow, can't believe it's this pretty woman doin this

  47. J.... A....

    Hahah me too I didnt like it =\ i was at the chicago show

  48. b.... ....

    this is the dumbest fucking video. the song is awesome, though.

  49. v.... ....

    I saw them at Chicago too. I'll be honest. I'm not too fond of it.

  50. K.... ....

    I saw them at the Rivera in Chicago. The crowd didn't appreciate them as much as I did.

  51. l.... ....

    me too! i went to high school with one of them... possibly two, if the lead singer is who i think she is, lol

  52. J.... K....

    NEW JERSEYYYYY

  53. s.... ....

    video kinda sucks, loooove the song though

  54. s.... ....

    so is this no-wave?? either way its cool more original than most of the warped tour lol

  55. y.... m....

    i know what you mean lol, it's just one of those songs

  56. x.... ....

    At first i thought it sounded annoying but i keep coming back to it....

  57. x.... ....

    is the lead singer a girl?? cuz it looks like a really feminine boy

  58. m.... ....

    omg this is the most awesome thing ever. i feel famous by association. i can't wait until they explode, figuratively that is. i like them and should hope they remain whole and unexploded.

  59. F.... ....

  60. K.... A....

    Great song and I LOVE the video!

  61. J.... ....

    The lead singer swallows the stage whole live.

  63. B.... C....

    cheesy guitar solo, marissa. loved it!

  64. J.... A....
