The Bones are a band from Karlskrona, Sweden. Since the kick-off back in '96, these guys have been on stage several hundred times all over Europe putting on an amazing performance. But the rise to success started in the fall of 1997 when they released "The Horrorway E.P." (own label), which sold out in just a few months. This success drove the guys to put out a second mini-album titled "Six feet down and two fingers up". During the recording-sessions for "Six feet down, two fingers up", the band was contacted by the german label " People like you Records (sublabel to Century Media Records).and in the summer of '99 The Bones signed the contract. The rock'n'roll circus was about to take off! Not content with this they also signed with german booking-agency, MAD. This crazy carousel made way for their first full-length album "Screwed, blued and tattooed" which, in turn, resulted in the band touring all over Europe gaining new fans wherever they went. The Bones was rattling the cage, making some noise
In the spring of 2002 The Bones released their second album "Bigger than Jesus", again the guys recorded at the PAMA-studio backed-up by "People like you".

Live The Bones have also supported bands like D.A.D, U.S. Bombs for a whole european tour, shared stages with Motörhead, Roger Miret & The Disasters, 999, Angelic Upstarts, Cockney Rejects and so on... As you can see this is band a that play to live and live to play - down to the bone!

The Bones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't know exactly where I am
I hear the angels singing
I think they sing my song
I see a dead man coming
I think he comes my way
I try to get up, but I'm down
and I try to figure out what happened
I can't think, I can't speak
Oh God, please fix me a drink
I here the angels singing
I think they sing my song
I see a dead men coming
Coming my way
Can't walk, can't breathe, can't talk
My dream, my nightmare, my life
So take what you can and leave me be
Well I hear the angels singing
I know they sing my song
I see a dead man coming
I know he comes my way
I hear the angels singing
I know they sing my song
And I see a dead man coming
I know he comes my way
The lyrics to The Bones’ song “Stuck In The Mud” describe a person who wakes up in their boots, disoriented and unsure of their surroundings. The singer hears angels singing and believes they are singing his song. He also sees a dead man coming towards him, which adds to his feelings of fear and confusion. The singer tries to figure out what happened the night before at the bar, but he is unable to think or speak. He pleads with God to fix him a drink as he is in a state of despair. The poem then goes on to say that the singer can't walk, breathe, or talk, and he feels like his life is a dream or nightmare. He ends by asking to be left alone and stating that he hears the angels singing and the dead man coming towards him.
The lyrics in this song are incredibly vivid and suggest that the singer may be experiencing some form of substance abuse. The chorus emphasizes the sense of helplessness that the character in the song is facing, as he is stuck in his own misery without any escape. The lyrics also suggest that the singer is lost in a cycle of despair, fear, and confusion that he can't break free from.
