Know me broken by my master
teach thee on child of love hereafter

Into the flood again
same old trip it was back then
so i made a big mistake
try to see it once my way

Drifting body it's sole desertion
flying not yet quite the notion

Into the flood again

so i made a big mistake
try to see it once my way

Into the flood again
same old trip it was back then

Lane Staley (sp?) was an outstanding musician and a hell of a song writer.

I own every album and with the exception of the last, they are incredible.

Facelift or Dirt...can never decide which was my all time favorite.

I'd agree with you, but I almost never buy greatest hits albums. I'd rather have the individual albums, and make my own "greatest hits".

My favorite, Rooster.

Aint found a way to kill me yet
Eyes burn with stinging sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere
Wife and kids household pet
Army green was no safe bet
The bullets scream to me from somewhere

Here they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he aint gonna die
No, no, no, ya know he aint gonna die

Walkin tall machine gun man
They spit on me in my home land
Gloria sent me pictures of my boy
Got my pills gainst mosquito death
My buddys breathin his dyin breath
Oh God please wont you help me make it through

Here they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he aint gonna die
No, no, no ya know he aint gonna die

You are probably correct. I knew I heard on the radio that it was one of the members but I wasn't sure which one.


ETA: Duh on me, I just looked at the cd and it was Jerry Cantrell that wrote the song.

I've been known to call into the local radio station, and using a central-american accent, request "The Roooooster Song, by Alice and Shanes . . . . and can I get a beeeeg shoutout to all of my vatos at *************** . . ..  yah, thanks to you!"

Pretty good I have to say.  Too bad Layne Staley couldn't kick the smack.  Friend of mine in Cali went out to lunch with him when he was in his last year on earth.  They went to Subway with another mutual friend.  Halfway through lunch, Layne is pulling a tooth out of his sandwich.  The herion was taking that much a toll on his body.  They were surprised he had the appetite to even eat.
