1. Brian Phillip Welch… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with this name:
1. Brian Phillip Welch (born June 19, 1970), better known as Head (although the official name of his solo project is Brian Head Welch), is an American musician best known as the former one of two guitarists of Korn, and a major influence in the rise of the nu metal movement. Welch left the band in 2005 due to contrasting personal beliefs, to focus on life as a father and a born again Christian. He has since embarked on an eponymous solo project, of which his debut solo album, Save Me from Myself, was released on September 9, 2008.
2. A Bristol, England-based band called Head existed in the late 1980s and included Gareth Sager (ex-Pop Group, Rip Rig & Panic, Float Up CP), and Nick Shephard (ex-The Cortinas, The Clash (mk 2), and The Spics), and Rich Beale (aka Clevedon Pier on Head's albums). They released three albums between 1987 of which the first - 'A Snog On The Rocks' - is the best place to enjoy their skewed, melodramatic, cabaret-inflected Pub Rock.
3. A "ramones-core" Seattle punk band ('90s - present) associated with Goner Records as well as their own Evil Clown Records.
4. A jazz rock / fusion band from Glasgow, who during the mid / late 70s issued 3 albums entitled GTF, Blackpool Cool and Red Dwarf. Highly recommended, yet obscure jazz rock fusion from an 'unlikely' source.
5. A 70s inspired psychedelic rock band from Maryland who released the five song Early Works - EP in 2021.
6. An electronic and lofi project by a portuguese solo artist under the name of HeaD.

My face
I'm all sucked up
I think I'll sleep all day
I get
The spins when my eyes are shut
I hate feeling this way
All the puke I'm throwing UP!
In the toilet this SUCKS!
Not a part of growing UP!
Only spoils it
Life is boring
Same old story
Get drunk, throw up, sleep all day
I am something
I'm not nothing
I can't let myself decay
How did
I get
Into my bed?
I don't remember anything
How did
I get this bump on my head?
It could have come from anything
FLUSH!
All the puke I'm throwing UP!
In the toilet this SUCKS!
Not a part of growing UP!
Only spoils it
Life is boring
Same old story
Get drunk throw up sleep all day
I am something
I'm not nothing
I can't let myself decay
Tell me no gossip
I don't wanna know
Jimmy got caught
Smelling like beer by his mom and his dad
He's grounded for a year
Lisa got popped
She got a DUI
She cussed out the cops
She's lucky she's alive
Tell me no gossip
I don't wanna know
Pedro got jumped
He's always starting fights
Every time he gets drunk
It happens all the time
Reggie OD'd
From slammin heroin
He's not a dope fiend he was trying to fit in
Take me
Away please
Oh no
Life blows
FLUSH!
All the puke I'm throwing UP!
In the toilet this SUCKS!
Not a part of growing UP!
Only spoils it
FLUSH!
All the puke I'm throwing UP!
In the toilet this SUCKS!
Not a part of growing UP!
Only spoils it
Life is boring
Same old story
Get drunk throw up sleep all day
I am something
I'm not nothing
I can't let myself decay
Come on, get up, let's change!
Come on, get up, let's change!
Come on, get up, let's change!
Come on, get up, let's change!
The song "Flush" by Head is a critique of the party lifestyle and its consequences. The lyrics describe a typical night of overindulging in alcohol and the aftermath of unpleasant physical and emotional effects, such as feeling sick, having no memory of the events, and regret. The refrain "Flush! All the puke I'm throwing up! In the toilet this sucks! Not a part of growing up! Only spoils it!" emphasizes the disgust and disappointment in this behavior, which is often portrayed as a rite of passage in popular culture.
The second verse shifts the focus from the singer's experience to that of other people mentioned in rumors or news. Jimmy, Lisa, Pedro, and Reggie are all portrayed as victims of alcohol-related incidents that have serious consequences, such as being grounded, arrested, or in Reggie's case, overdosing. The contrast between the singer's own experience and those of others highlights the danger and irresponsibility of this lifestyle.
The repeated call to action "Come on, get up, let's change!" suggests that the singer is aware of the negative aspects of this behavior and is ready to make a change. The song's message goes beyond a mere condemnation of this lifestyle and encourages listeners to take responsibility for their actions and decisions.
