about
Persecution Blues are celebrating their debut album out today, with the release of the third single 'Done Me Dirty'.
“Done Me Dirty” stretches out in shrieking feedback with bass and drums marking time before launching into the album’s next salvo, a rollicking owed to wrongdoings, the band stepping into their power of turning every day deceit into a pub burning anthem. Elmo Trapani offers that it’s a song of persistence, saying, “People get you down but don’t let it stop you.”
If there is a Melbourne sound, one that permeates the sticky carpeted beer barns of the inner suburbs, it’s the sound championed by teen rock ‘n’ roll soldiers Persecution Blues.
lyrics
They know your face but they don’t know your name
You try get by that’s the aim of the game
You got money up to your knees
And three honeys from the New Orleans
Always seem to pick the winning horse
You’re the effect and you don’t know the cause
But when your getting busy on the street
Make sure before you come in you wipe your feet, hey
She done me dirty
He done me dirty
She done me dirty
He done me dirty
You know the rules but did you ignore?
Every one of them cause you just want more
Late at night when it’s time for bed
You turn the lights on and u place another bet
Well at least your original
You don’t know that it’s your pinnacle
Of this road that your heading down
You can’t swim and you’re gonna drown
He’s done me dirty
She’s done me dirty
He’s done me dirty
She’s done me dirty
I can’t sleep
I can’t even eat
Look at my lips
Take a look at my lips
You’re ruinin’ it
You’re ruinin’ it
I can’t sleep
I can’t eat
Done me dirty
He’s done me dirty
She’s done me dirty
And he’s done me dirty
And she’s done me dirty
