The core pairing assembled a full 8-piece live band for touring purposes, and released one The Herbaliser Band album. Although still a studio rather than a live album, it is distinct from the normal Herbaliser albums; the lack of guest vocalists focuses the an overall "live band" feel, especially showcasing the horn section.
The Real Killer Part 2
The Herbaliser Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please, no more!
I'm hurt
Can't you see I'm hurt
You shot me, please don't! don't
let me have a doctor
please give me the doctor
You tried to kill me
If I tried that, your head would be splattered all over this field
Where's the girl?
both of you put the fucking gun on the floor now!
nooooooo
I'd kill him
Shoot him in the face
Put him down like a dog
Killin's the hard part
Gettin' away with it
That's easy
As long as you're not at scene of the crime
With a smokin' gun in your hand
You'll get away with it
(mumbling)
Put the gun down you son of a bitch
what the fucking world coming to?
How do you like that? How's that?
What's the fucking matter with you?
What's the fucking matter with you?
What are you stupid or what?
Nah, nah
I'm kidding with you what the fuck you want me to do, I'm fucking sick maniac
etc....
he's dead
You know you're crazy if you think you've heard the last of this guy
he's gonna kill again
See he likes it
The first line in this song, "You ain't goin' to shoot the piano player are you?", is a reference to an old saying about not killing the person who entertains you. The rest of the lyrics are a conversation between two people, one of whom has just been shot and is begging for help. The other person is focused on the idea of killing again and getting away with it. They seem to be discussing a murder that has just taken place and are callously unconcerned about the victim. The theme of the song seems to be the ease with which some people can take a human life and the disregard for consequences.
The overall tone of the song is dark and intense, with a sense of menace and violence. The dialogue creates a vivid picture of the scene and the characters involved, leaving a lasting impression on the listener. The use of sound effects such as gunshots and moaning adds to the realism of the situation and creates an unsettling atmosphere. Overall, the song is a powerful commentary on the devastating effects of violence and the twisted mindset of those who perpetrate it.
