Tight. Hooky. Punky. ROCK-N-ROLL! Throw your fists in the air and get ready… Read Full Bio ↴Tight. Hooky. Punky. ROCK-N-ROLL! Throw your fists in the air and get ready to shake your ass cause Sidekick Mafia sneaks up on you like a midget, jumps down your earhole, and infects your whole body! Theyre the Texas punkabilly rock-n-roll trio youd never expect now from a city whose last notable rockabilly band was Reverend Horton Heat. In April 2006, after less than 2 years as a band, Sidekick Mafia astounded the industry with what Harder Beat Magazine calls one of the best CDs of the year, locally or otherwise. Their breakthrough self-titled debut album--which is available online at CDBaby.com/sidekick, iTunes, and at live shows--enlisted a production staff that included pros that have worked with bands like Bush, Deep Blue Something, Burden Brothers, Hourly Radio, The Feds, and The Vanished. The only thing that could possibly overshadow the quality of their studio album is their explosive and magnetic live show, spattered with perfect harmonies, awesome guitar licks, insane bass grooves, and drums so tight youd think it was their first time. As new of a band as Sidekick Mafia is, they're already making plenty of Texas noise. Theyve been featured on the cover of Harder Beat Magazine, and have been one of the main attractions on several tours and festivals including Buzz Oven, The Deep Ellum Community Music Festival, Rock the Campus for the Cure, and Pistons & Paint. They have also played all over Texas, as well as Louisiana, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Arkansas. All of this has led to Sidekick Mafias recent signing to Headliner Artists' booking agent Bubba Turner and UnitedWeRock Music's artist development manager Munnch, who together immediately began work organizing weekend tours for Sidekick Mafia throughout the rest of the year. Dont try to fight it. One listen and youll fall in love with the Sidekick Mafias catchy, punky, Texas rock-n-roll sound. Everyone else already has...

Sidekick Mafia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well Natalie I know
It's such a cloudy day
But don't apologize, it wasn't your mistake
As sadly as it goes
We have to realize
That no one can control
The wind up in the skies
And nothing lasts forever but nothing really should
The change is for the better, but the pain is never good

And I'll beg for mercy, and I'll beg and plead
I'll beg you don't hurt me
Natalie

Natalie I knew but I kissed you anyways
I couldn't see the truth
I was blinded by your taste
It's only me and you so open up to me
Well I can't turn away so give me what I need

Cause nothing lasts forever so I won't live in fear
The change is for the better; the change is coming clear

And I'll beg for mercy, I'll beg and plead
I'll beg you don't hurt me
Natalie

Oh, Well the name I should forget for good is the only name I know
The rain might make the river flood but it won't
All the words I've said and understood, did the whiskey take control
Is the price I pay to feel so good so low

Cause nothing lasts forever so I won't live in fear
Change is for the better Natalie my dear

And I'll beg for mercy, I'll beg and plead
I'll beg you don't hurt me
No, no, no my Natalie
My Natalie
My Natalie
Well I'll kick and scream for Natalie

I knew your name was Natalie, but I kissed you anyway
