11) A Japanese visual kei band formed in 1998, the group went on to release a few demos throughout 1999 and 2000, and later released a few singles from 2000 through 2001 as well. By the summer of 2001, Bishop managed to develop a small cult following for their industrial-fused sound, and the group ended up touring a bit more throughout 2001, although they eventually ended up abruptly disbanding in 2002. The only member of Bishop who remained active in the visual scene was bassist Junzo, who went on to join the cult visual group Feathers-Blue, although he later left Feathers-Blue in 2004. He then joined the visual group Run Jewelry, which was active for less than a year. Junzo then joined the indies group Dust Co., Ltd, which also mysteriously disintegrated in 2008. After Dust Co., Ltd's short run, Junzo then retired from the visual scene. In 2015, Dust Co., Ltd suddenly reunited, and the group toured throughout the majority of the year and some of 2016, before suddenly disappearing once more. It can be presumed that Dust Co., Ltd have since disbanded a second time, and Junzo then returned to his retirement.

That's The Way
Bishop Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once she dressed in silks and lace, Owned a Rolls Royce car
Now she seems quite out of place, like a fallen star
Draped around my kitchen sink , Happy as can be
I just have to stop and think, Why she fell for me.

I'm not much to look at, nothing to see
Just glad I'm livin' and lucky to be
I got a woman crazy for me

She's funny that way.

I can't save a dollar, ain't worth a cent
She doesn't holler she'd live in a tent
I got a woman crazy for me
She's funny that way.

Tho' she loves to work and slave for me ev'ry day
She'd be so much better off if I went away.

But why should I leave her, why should I go
She'd be unhappy without me I know
I got a woman crazy for me
She's funny that way.

She should have the very best, Anyone can see
Still she's diff'rent from the rest, satisfied with me.
While I worry plan and scheme, Over what to do
Can't help feeling it's a dream, Too good to be true.

Never had nothin'; no one to care
That's why I seem to have more than my share,
I got a woman, crazy for me,
She's funny that way.

When I hurt her feelings, once in a while,
Her only answer is one little smile,
I got a woman crazy for me.
She's funny that way.

I can see no other way and no better plan,
End it all and let her go to some better man;
But I'm only human, coward at best
I'm more than certain she'd follow me west,

I got a woman crazy for me,
She's funny that way.
