1) First to drink from… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with this name:
1) First to drink from the Teapot Of Doom were Murder One, described by Kerrang! as “One of the most ferocious bands ever to walk the earth!”, and boy, were they on the money! This six-piece UK outfit - featuring members and ex-members of Medulla Nocte, Pulkas and Raging Speedhorn - are an unrelenting experience from first note to last; a bit like having your shins consistently kicked by a delinquent child in steel-capped boots.
The band’s debut album, ‘Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid’ (GTA001), has been on release for a few weeks now, and the reviews have been uniformly excellent: 8/10 in Rock Sound, 8/10 in Metal Hammer and the FULL 5Ks in Kerrang!, where the record was straight away hailed as a testicles-in-a-tourniquet classic. Check out ‘Start Of The War’ for a statement of intent that should come complete with its own pot of woad, or the preposterously potty-mouthed ‘Born With Tourettes’, a track that mentions the word ‘f**k’ as often as Gordon Ramsey on a sponsored swear - yes, it’s that good! Somewhere a specially empowered nun is praying for their souls…
2) Murder One is a rapper from Houston.
No Woman No Cry
Murder One Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No, woman, no cry,
No, woman, no cry,
No, woman, no cry.
Said, said, said, I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown,
Oba - obaserving the 'ypocrites
Good friends we have, oh, good friends we've lost
Along the way.
In this great future, you can't forget your past,
So dry your tears, I seh.
No, woman, no cry,
No, woman, no cry.
'Ere, little darlin', don't shed no tears,
No, woman, no cry.
Said, said, said, I remember when-a we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown.
And then Georgie would make the fire lights,
As it was logwood burnin' through the nights.
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge,
Of which I'll share with you,
My feet is my only carriage,
So I've got to push on through.
But while I'm gone, I mean,
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right!
I said, everything's gonna be all right-a!
Everything's gonna be all right!
Everything's gonna be all right, now!
Everything's gonna be all right!
So, woman, no cry,
No, no, woman, woman, no cry.
Woman, little sister, don't shed no tears,
No, woman, no cry.
I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown.
And then Georgie would make the fire lights,
As it was logwood burnin' through the nights.
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge,
Of which I'll share with you,
My feet is my only carriage,
So I've got to push on through.
But while I'm gone,
No, woman, no cry,
No, woman, no cry.
Woman, little darlin', say don't shed no tears,
No, woman, no cry.
Eh! (Little darlin', don't shed no tears!
No, woman, no cry.
Little sister, don't shed no tears!
No, woman, no cry.)
