lyrics

Skullhead steps out.
He knows just what it’s all about.
He knows the lies that cut you through
He knows the words that are too strong
He knows the desperate things you do
The glass was empty all along
Skullhead, Skullhead…
Skullhead’s always right and never wrong.

Skullhead has poise.
He checks out all the girls and boys.
He knows the price they have to pay
He knows the fears they keep inside
He knows the platitudes they say
He knows the truths they try to hide
Skullhead, Skullhead…
Skullhead wields a pin to pierce your pride.

Can’t buy him off, can’t bribe him
Throw him off the scent or circumscribe him
Can’t outthink him or outrun him
Can’t outfight him or outgun him
Have to face him, see those empty eyes
Have to let him weigh your truths and lies
Skullhead,
Skullhead,
Skullhead.

Skullhead, so cold.
Looks so young and yet he’s old, so old.
He knows the passing of the years
He knows the worthlessness of trust
He knows the hopes and prayers and fears
Of those who’ve passed away to dust
Skullhead, Skullhead…
Skullhead weighs them all because he must.

Can’t buy him off, can’t bribe him
Throw him off the scent or circumscribe him
Can’t outthink him or outrun him
Can’t outfight him or outgun him
Have to face him, wilt under his stare
Have to let him drown you in despair
Skullhead,
Skullhead,
Skullhead.

Skullhead steps out.
He knows just what it’s all about.
He sees you tremble in his gaze
He knows you with a single glance
He knows the thousand thousand ways
That hate develops from romance
Skullhead, Skullhead…
Skullhead won’t leave anything to chance.

about

The Donutsh image

The Donutsh Walthamstow, UK

The result of a dreadful accident in a mad scientist's laboratory, The Donutsh are an indie-punk quintet from London who began gigging in 2011, to an response of general disbelief and terror -- "They sound like Johnny Cash biting off Johnny Rotten's head," said one audience member, a quote which the band pounced upon and have used as their motto ever since. Are you ready for them? No, you're not. ... more
