FOR OUR SISTERS FOR OUR BROTHERS Jack & Johnny they got nowhere So he flicked his knife and he held it there A James Dean jacket and a troubled stare He stepped on the rails as the guys appear Teenage progression and he’s still so proud A feeble fist and he’s on the ground Cos Jack & Johnny they got nowhere So he flicked his knife and he held it there If you run it’d get them rattled Pass the gum I can smell a battle For our sisters for our brothers For our sisters & our brothers The race and the rubble and the railway track.. he's got his boots on His turn in the middle is a fighting act..his will was too strong His hair is too long He's got it all wrong Cos Jack & Johnny they got nowhere So he flicked his knife and he held it there If you run it’d get them rattled Pass the gum I can smell a battle For our sisters for our brothers For our sisters & our brothers Jack & Johnny they got nowhere So he picked up his knife and he held it here If you run it’d get them rattled Pass the gum I can smell a battle For our sisters for our brothers For our sisters & our brothers For our sisters for our brothers For our sisters & our brothers Pass the gum..yes I’m coming And my jacket ..yes I'm coming For our sisters & our brothers thank you

Anna 03:07
ANNA Anna, an’ I see yah, it frightens me Years merged, into memory Living inside my dreams Won der ing will I see you again? Years, years, years, gone Years, years, years, gone Am I chasing ghosts, cos I’m losing spirit? I really need to know, am I alone in this? Am I haunted by a past I can’t let go? Do you feel that fire deep inside your soul? Years, years, years, gone Years, years, years, gone Ahhhh Standing at the crossroads, human sacrifice Giving all I got to, tried to put it right Why don’t you cut me I bleed? Why don’t you cut me I bleed? Why don’t you cut me I bleed? C’mon and cut me I bleed Years, years, years, gone Years, years, years, gone (C’mon and cut me I bleed) Years, years, years, gone (C’mon and cut me I bleed) Years, years, years, gone

GET UP-GET OFF I got my red dress on and my high heels too It’s all glitter and sin for me, huh! How about you? And when I turn down the lights, fix me a drink or two? And if I go to the club, say, in a minute or two Hey would you come along? All glamour and perfume Hey this night stinks of you If you go then I’ll still stay Won’t come visit any day Get up-get off get up-get off get on your own It isn’t all that it seems, now we turn down the lights I keep a hand on your hands, and a muzzle for your bites Well, ain’t this shit getting heavy? If you go then I’ll still stay Won’t come visit any day Get up-get off get up-get off get on your own Is this the part when you get sassy? All tequila morose Spilt drinks, burnt toast, bad taste, no classy You wink, one for the road?

Lunacy 03:42
LUNACY Bright moonlight Ripples reflect lunar sea Washing the red away Doesn’t take the stain from my hands It cannot be washed away the only thing that you can do is pray It cannot be swept away the only thing that you can do is Pray Pray Pray Pray Sinful times Shut behind sockets out of sight Suppressing pain deep inside Wishing immortal thoughts would slowly fade They cannot be locked away the only thing that you can do is pray They cannot be shut away the only thing that you can do is Pray Pray Pray Pray Pray Pray Pray pray Forgive me

THE REVELATOR How long to speed to Mars and back? St John of Patmos he...he wrote the fact That serpents, beasts and promised second comings Will sort the race out its second running Now Mr Lawrence he...he sussed it out And found it damning so chose to doubt That serpents, beasts and promised second comings Will sort the race out its second running It’s our lot...your best shot I’m no dictator I’m the revelator I’m all you’ve got No prophet seer can ably prove Ain’t supernatural ain’t that the truth That serpents, beasts and promised second comings Will sort the race out its second running It’s our lot..your best shot I’m no dictator I’m the revelator I’m all you’ve got

IF IT BOTHERS YOU? We don’t know if it’s a good idea to take us to your home Spreading fear into our lives won’t make us feel at home Cos it’s a lie I don’t know why But it’s a lie I don’t know why If you think it’s alright to lock us up scared in there I will take you on and then I’ll make you scared instead Cos it’s a lie I don’t know why But it’s a lie I don’t know why Is it something we said that bothers you? If so, we’ll make amends If it’s something we said then we’ll run away Go away, run away if it really bothers you? Is it something we said that bothers you? If so, we’ll make amends If it’s something we said then we’ll run away Run away, go away if it really bothers you? Go away if it really bothers you? Go away if it really bothers you?

LOVE’N’LOATHE'N’PEACE’N’ANGER Switch the light on Choose your words and let them go Paint a picture Form a thought and state your view I'm love’n’loathe’n’peace’n’anger now And that's the way you make me feel Don't despair now Intelligence it can be raised To misquote Nietzche We need illusions to live our lives I'm love’n’loathe’n’peace’n’anger now And that's the way you make me feel Add your face into the picture of a crowd Work your mouth and make a sound Clench your fists now Watching TV shows you how Cocked and loaded Shows you’re ready for the row

about

"As quick as you try and pigeon hole Scare Taxi the cheeky scamps have moved genre, changed pace, swapped lead vocals duties and left you wanting more"
CRAIG BALDWIN

"Musically excellent, great lyrics too, some real catchy songs on offer. Great use of backing vocals too, it sounds really great now, the balance is pretty much spot on. I’d most definitely urge people to check this one out, a real great mix of so many styles rolled into one record, but it works to pretty devastating effect. More please!"
LIGHTS GO OUT ZINE

"But that’s basically just because it’s an excellent album that has its roots in punk and rock n roll. Importantly, it also has a sense of inventiveness and excitement to it…something that is even rarer in the music world now than it was back then."
THE SOUL OF A CLOWN

"Death By Music is a journey through guitar music from the Mid Sixties through to the Early Eighties. Garage Rock/Pub Rock/Punk/New Wave/Goth all present but giving us new music today from the best of yesterday. Indie Kid, Punk, Britpopper? Try this. Death By Music? At least you’ll scuttle off this mortal coil with a smile on your face. Go listen!"
PLUGGED IN BRIGHTON

"Hold on to your seats, because you will have one wild ride with this band."

about

Scare Taxi Brighton, UK

Circa 2015 – Tara, unable to make enough noise alone, cajoled Boag to play guitar on her songs. The clash of sounds made perfect sense...they named it Trash Rock!

Fast forward to August 2017, Scare Taxi debuted at The Wedding Present’s ‘Edge of the Sea Festival’ and have played with Electric Six, Membranes, S*M*A*S*H, Art Brut & The Ramonas.

Their debut album Death By Music is available now.
