The Go-Katz play classic mid-80s Psychobilly, based on up tempo Neo-rockabilly, mixed with Punk energy and the avoidance of 50´s-typical Rockabilly lyrics. The band suffered through some line up changes, but Howard Raucous has always continued to keep the Go-Katz alive, performing with a Russian band called the Bombers in 2000. A new UK version of The Go-Katz played a comeback gig at a Psychobilly festival in Spain. This line-up (Howard Raucous (v), Graham Bateman (g), Jez Jordan (b) and Steve Clark (d) ) lasted until 2008, and released a CD called "Maniac" (RAUCD215)
Then in 2009 the Go-Katz returned once more, and the current line-up is Howard Raucous (v), Steve Clark (d), Dan Clark (b) and Billy Oxley (g). Now with a long-awaited stable line-up the band is gigging regularly and has released a CD called "It's Not Fair" with a Psychobilly cover of Lily Allen's pop hit "Not Fair" as the lead track.

The Go-Katz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What in the fuck does it mean?
I cannot take all this stress, got this weight on my chest and I just wanna scream
Brown eyes when I think about you
Oh girl can you just take the clue
Losing my sense and I'm losing my cool as I'm wondering girl if you think of me too
I see this girl in my dreams
What in the fuck does it mean?
Brown eyes when I think about you
Oh girl can you just take the clue
Losing my sense and I'm losing my cool as I'm wondering girl if you think of me too
What do I got to do? what do I got to say
I cannot sit here and fake shit another day
Just for my mental sake
Please understand
I'm better alone I'm a mess of a man
You came in my life wasn't part of the plan
Beautiful hair
Nice little tan
Shorty a fan
I know that I love her cause' shorty a ten
I be rolling
She be choking
All these dirty thoughts provoking
We keep smoking
I start hoping
Hoping that the time approaching
We start floating
I start going
She start reaching for my clothing
Got her soaking
Got her moaning
God the vibes in here are golden
Look in the sky can I please see some answers
What did I do wrong? I swear she was pampered
Never enough girl I can't meet your standards
Why can't you see that I'm bending down backwards
Just for your love
Please do not hurt me my hearts had enough
Shorty I been through the ringer came up out the mud
And they wondering why I get high as a dove
I see this girl in my dreams
What in the fuck does it mean?
I cannot take all this stress, got this weight on my chest and i just wanna scream
Brown eyes when I think about you
Oh girl can you just take the clue
Losing my sense and I'm losing my cool as I'm wondering girl if you think of me too
I see this girl in my dreams
What in the fuck does it mean?
I cannot take all this stress, got this weight on my chest and i just wanna scream
Brown eyes when I think about you
Oh girl can you just take the clue
Losing my sense and I'm losing my cool as I'm wondering girl if you think of me too
