'90s grunge rocker Courtney Love has just released the audio for "Wedding Day," the second track from her new double A-side single, You Know My Name / Wedding Day, which will be available May 4th. You can stream the audio above via Courtney's YouTube channel.
The song calls back to the line "My dumb mouth to your deaf ear," from Hole's 1991 Burn Black. It's a full steam ahead rock and roll song. There's a brief buildup as Courtney sings before the drums come in, leading up to a chorus that explodes with guitars. Courtney's voice is angry as she screams, maintaining an attitude that says, "I don't give a fuck!" The end features an impressive scream that lasts 11 seconds, followed by her catching her breath. It's pretty cool. Below are the lyrics:
Courtney Love "Wedding Day" Lyrics:
I left this back, black and bloody
All these snakes they rot inside of me
Do you think you can understand
What it takes just to be a man?!
Get out, get out, get out of my bedDo your think this begins and ends with sex
I know better than you, and it's a touch called lex
See this woman with reptile eyes,
And I can buy you as I rise
Get out, get out, get out of my headWhat? Break my neck on my wedding day?
Here comes the bride, and she's covered in egg
She can't walk, but she can crawlWomen are so delicate
Just remember that I'll never forget
And if I see you naked now
Shut up, I said NOOOO!Have you ever seen a cripple dance?
You paid him money now is your chance
All the things that you'll never hear
Like a mouth to your deaf ear
Get out, get out, get out of my bedBreak my neck on my wedding day
In this divorce from reality
Daddy, daddy don't you fuck with me
Now you're naked now you're burning nowIf there's a sore eye I haven't seen it yet
I will rise again and again
Fuck off, I said NOOO!(Scream) (Scream)
