Violent Femmes Lyrics


The Violent Femmes story is a story about a phenomenon
which occurs every once in a while in the so-called music
scene. The Beatles, the Stones, the Byrds, the Velvets, the
Stranglers,.. the Femmes. Who knows why these things happen?

One could consider them as a movement against all these
beautiful things you can see every day (including their
consequences): boredom of life, religious paradox, the
absence of basic moral principles, wicked social influences
on adolescent kids (teen psychosis), mechanical human
actions and reactions More...

Reviews about Violent Femmes songs
i don't think its ABOUT masturbation | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Blister In The Sun performed by Violent Femmes

if you don't just listen to the lyrics but the tone of the song... you imagine someone feeling good, in a lustful way on a warm day walking along a city street after smoking a joint and feeling good, thinking about someone that turns them on...like that they had a wet dream about... it reminds me of the internal dialog... the things that go thru your mind that u don't speak aloud. High as a kite? yeah that means drugs... u might say u were strung out on someone or they make u feel high... but high as a kite implies some pharmaceuticals

i know all about this | Reviewer: J
    ------ About the song Blister In The Sun performed by Violent Femmes

This song is so simple yet so real. Anyone who has been addicted to drugs and had a girlfriend can feel this song. It is sung in a cheerful manner as to imitate the feelings of pleasure that "going on like a blister in the sun", ie continuing to get high, does for you, even as you're singing about a sad, ruinous thing you are doing. And the idea that he is a rock star and can talk to any chick he wants and she will totally dig him, his poor girlfriend is starting to cry as he checks out other girls and continues to delve deeper into addiction (probably to heroin or something similar). REALLY FUN AND REALLY DEPRESSING AT THE SAME TIME. Those of us who have been high know about strutin our stuff, walkin, checkin out girls, feelin like a million dollars... until it wears off...

Song drug related obviously. | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Blister In The Sun performed by Violent Femmes

I believe the song is about heroin. "high as a kite" and being strung out. Not caring what anyone thinks, the drug makes you horny. Girlfriend at the end because she is sick of his addiction. Let me go on like a blister in the son, because the herion is killing him and whatnot. yeah...

Its about what you make it.... | Reviewer: Tedstone
    ------ About the song Blister In The Sun performed by Violent Femmes

Used to listen to Blister on a jukebox @ a coffee house. Played it after poetry readings while cleaning up. We'd dance around singing it near the windows - people on Madison Ave. in Albany, NY would stare - sometimes applaud. Once there was a sing-a-long cause the door was open. I've also explained numerous times this song was NOT song by Neil Young...

Great First song to come off of Hallowed Ground | Reviewer: terry
    ------ About the song Country Death Song performed by Violent Femmes

My dad has the Hallowed Ground album and I listened to it because at that point I was just starting to listen to the Violent Femmes. This song was really really good. I was surprised that Gordon Gano wrote it in 10th grade.

BAND GEEKS FOREVER | Reviewer: Jenna-Veeve
    ------ About the song Blister In The Sun performed by Violent Femmes

We did this song for marching band this year and if I do say so myself it was pretty freakin awesome! If you love the original you have to hear the arrangement.

    ------ About the song Blister In The Sun performed by Violent Femmes

Duh, it's about masturbation, but it's a good song anyway. There are a lot of songs that are about one thing, that get used for something completely different. <p>Like that song "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan? It's about doing drugs. But who cares? The point is, Blister a good song, no matter WHAT it's about. Or what, don't YOU feel happier after "staining your sheets?"

Violent Femmes and Grosse Pointe Blank | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Blister In The Sun performed by Violent Femmes

Great song, watched Grosse Pointe Blank with my boyfriend and is now one of my favourite films! It's hilarious. And the song is brilliant!

CTY Canon is Groovy Beyond Belief! | Reviewer: The King
    ------ About the song Blister In The Sun performed by Violent Femmes

At CTY, everyone is at least as quirky as the mood of this song. Or more so. Nonwithstanding, Blister in the Sun is one of those kooky Canon songs that I keep on reviewing.
As for tradtions, Blister has its share. First of all, everyone twists during the verses and jumps around with their hands in the air during the chorus. Next, when the song gets really quiet, everyone twists as low to the floor as possible. This is the tradition which people are most vocal about breaking- anybody still standing when the volume dissappears is gonna get it. And when it gets loud again, we all jump back up, arms flailing, and shouting the lyrics. Invigorating, really.
Peace, Love, and CTY
