2) The shortlived Atlanta based grind outfit Charmer unleashes sheer visceral madness. Trimming down to merely a vocalist, guitarist, and drummer, their sole release has been a self-titled 7" (of which only 150 were pressed and all were sold on Charmer's most recent tour). Due to the damage caused by their furious live shows, the members have done a helluva job keeping their identities more or less a secret, having been known to perform adorned in gas masks and under many different aliases.
Since the band's break-up, guitarist "Emmerson Longfellow" and vocalist "Pelham Winchester" began writing under the guies of End Life (http://myspace.com/endfuckinglife).

Charmer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the middle of the street
While you′re carefully
Cutting out pictures in old magazines
Hopefully not pictres of me
You will see every single morning
When I make you coffee
Everybody's favorite neighboorhood fling
Would you please let me try?
I could be your sunshine
In this song, Charmer is singing to someone about their interest in them. They talk about being able to see pictures on the walls from the street, implying that they have been observing this person for a while. They mention that the person is cutting out pictures from old magazines, and they hope that those pictures are not of them. Charmer then talks about making coffee for this person every morning and how they could potentially be the favorite neighborhood fling. He then asks if he could try to be their sunshine, essentially offering his warmth, light, and positivity to them.
This song seems to be about a person who is interested in someone but does not know how to express their feelings. They may have been watching this person from afar, and are now offering themselves as a potential partner. The lyrics are vivid and descriptive, creating a picture of the scene in the listener's mind. Charmer's smooth vocal delivery and catchy melody make this a memorable and relatable song for anyone who has ever been in a similar situation.

I can see the photos on your walls
From the middle of the street
While you're carefully
Cutting out pictures in old magazines
Hopefully not pictures of me
Even from a distance, I can see the pictures on your wall while you are meticulously cutting pictures from magazines. I hope none of them are mine.
You will see every single morning
When I make you coffee
That we would be
Everybody's favorite neighborhood fling
If we are together, every morning when I make you coffee, we would be the envy of our neighborhood.
Would you please let me try?
I could be your sunshine
Please give me a chance, I could bring happiness and light into your life like sunshine.

I can see the photos on your walls through the middle of the street
While you’re carefully cutting out pictures in old magazines
Hope they’re not pictures of me
And you will see every single morning when I make you coffee
And we would be everybody’s favorite neighborhood fling
Would you please let me try?
I could be your sunshine
