THE THEM, a bulldozer of punk-metal from Seattle, Washington.
It all started one hot summer in Seattle. It was there, in the stultifying doldrums of Northwest that THE THEM coagulated from a puddle of vomit, beer and semen to form the Unholy alliance that would spread a disease throughout the Northwest. THE THEM's current mutation comes in the form of Joseph Christ on Vocals, Jimmy Beam on Guitars, Sethalicious on Bass and THE Barry on Drums.
Since their appearance THE THEM have been bloodying up stage and audience with their fabulously toxic musical alchemy, a putrefied mixture of horror punk, hardcore, metal and rockabilly, resonating behind the depraved rantings of a madman, coupled with blood and brain matter, and an intensity of personal charisma not seen since vats of grape Kool-Aid were gulped down in Jonestown. THE THEM are here and they require you to accept them as your personal Savior.
The band is now in the process of playing and recording so for now youwill haveto placate yourselves by attending their live shows, where the pestilence and anomalies of the space-time continuum string themselves together and fuck with your DNA so that, if you are drunk enough, you leave a profoundly changed person. The band does not guarantee that this change will be for the better.

Here Comes The Night
The Them Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Whoa whoa whoa yeah
I could see right out my window
Walkin' down the street, my girl
With another guy
His arm around her
Like it used to be with me
Whoa, it makes me want to die
Yeah yeah yeah
Well, here it comes
Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Whoa whoa whoa whoa yeah
There they go
It's funny how they look so good together
Wonder what is wrong with me
Why can't I, accept the fact she's chosen him
And simply let them be
Whoa whoa whoa
Well, here it comes
Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Whoa whoa whoa yeah
She's with him he's turning down the lights
And now he's holding her
The way I used to do
I could see, her closing her eyes
And tellin' him lies
Exactly like she told me, too
Yeah yeah yeah
Well, here it comes
Here comes the night
The long, the long and lonely night
Night, night, night, night, night, night
Whoa, here comes the night
The Them's song "Here Comes The Night" is a heart-wrenching account of a man's anguish as he sees his ex-girlfriend, the one he loved and lost, with another man. The opening of the song announces the impending arrival of the night, which serves as an ominous symbol of the singer's inner turmoil. He is looking out the window, and as he sees his ex-girlfriend with her new beau, he cannot help but feel a deep sense of pain and loss. He is reminded of the times when he was with her, when he could hold her close and relish every moment of their togetherness.
As he sees his ex-girlfriend with another man, he wonders what is wrong with him. He cannot seem to accept the fact that she has chosen someone else, and he cannot bring himself to simply let them be. He is experiencing an intense emotional battle, caught between his love for her and the realization that it is all over. The lyrics convey a sense of hopelessness and despair, as the singer watches helplessly while his ex-girlfriend is in the arms of another man.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "here comes the night" over and over again, emphasizing the darkness and loneliness the singer is feeling. The second verse describes the scene unfolding before his eyes, as he watches the new couple getting closer together. He sees his ex-girlfriend closing her eyes and telling the same lies she used to tell him. As the song ends, the night has arrived, and the singer is left in a long and lonely night, consumed by his feelings of loss and pain.
