Violent Femmes is an alternative rock band, formed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,… Read Full Bio ↴Violent Femmes is an alternative rock band, formed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States in 1980. The band originally consisted of Gordon Gano (vocals, guitar), Brian Ritchie (bass), and Victor DeLorenzo (drums), with Guy Hoffman replacing DeLorenzo following his departure starting in 1993 and up until his return in 2002. The band split in early 2009, their last recording being a cover of the Gnarls Barkley song "Crazy", a response to Gnarls Barkley's cover of the Femmes song "Gone Daddy Gone" released the previous year. In January 2013, it was announced that the Violent Femmes would be reuniting and performing at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April. They performed there, the Bottlerock Napa Valley in May and Milwaukee's Summerfest in June. The band is also on the bill for Riot Fest, which will take place in Chicago in September.
Drummer Victor DeLorenzo said that he would be open to recording new material with the Violent Femmes, but on July 15, 2013, it was announced that Dresden Dolls drummer Brian Viglione would be replacing DeLorenzo as the band's drummer. In a statement, DeLorenzo said "It's always hard to write a eulogy for a lost loved one. In this case, I sadly lament the loss of a dream and an ideal that was once Violent Femmes." Viglione is credited as the drummer on the 2016 release We Can Do Anything but would later be replaced by John Sparrow, who had played in the Violent Femmes backing band previously.

Their music is an innovative combination of American folk music and punk rock. The lyrics mix common adolescent themes like yearning for love, sex and affection with explorations of sin, death, and the hope of salvation. Their songs often express both a lyrical and musical sense of humor. Critics often attribute the Violent Femmes as laying the groundwork of dynamicism for the 90s grunge movement.

In its early days, the band frequently played coffee houses and street corners. They were discovered by James Honeyman-Scott (of The Pretenders) on August 23, 1981, when the band was busking on a street corner in front of the Oriental Theatre, the Milwaukee venue that The Pretenders would be playing later that night. Chrissie Hynde invited them to play a brief acoustic set after the opening act. The band signed to Slash Records and recorded their eponymous debut in July 1982.

The group quickly gained a small cult following after the release of their self-titled album that never burgeoned into widespread popularity, although a few songs from this album did get some recognition ("Add It Up", "Blister in the Sun" and "Gone Daddy Gone"). The debut album Violent Femmes went platinum ten years after its release, and "Blister in the Sun" has become an alternative rock radio staple.

Please Do Not Go
Violent Femmes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell you man I'm stuck on this lovely girl
Of course to me you' know she mean all the world
But then she like another guy
I fall down dead she never see the tears I cry
Please please please do not go
How long can the days go on
When my love is so strong
And I know I cannot tell a lie

I want to see him go bye
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye

Now I wonder what she would say
If I told her that I felt this way
Why know it might make her turn either way
So all I can do is patiently pray
Pray pray pray pray
Tell you man I'm stuck on this lovely girl
And why know I could travel all over the whole world
Please please please do not go

You hurt me so
I got something to show you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the Violent Femmes' song 'Please Do Not Go' revolve around unrequited love and the heartache that comes with it. The singer is in love with a girl who is interested in someone else. He is stuck on her and believes she means the world to him. He is so in love with her that he falls down dead thinking about her being with someone else. The singer pleads with her, telling her not to go, as he cannot bear the thought of losing her. He confesses to her indirectly, stating that he wonders what would happen if he were to tell her how he feels. However, he decides against it, as it might make her turn away from him. Ultimately, he prays for her to stay and not leave him alone.

The song captures the emotions of unrequited love in a poignant yet straightforward manner. It expresses the pain and anguish of being deeply in love with someone who may not feel the same way. The singer's inaction and apprehension capture the indecision and uncertainty that often accompany unrequited love.

Line by Line Meaning

Tell you man I'm stuck on this lovely girl
I want to tell you that I am totally smitten by this amazing girl

Of course to me you' know she mean all the world
She is the most important person in my life and means everything to me

But then she like another guy
Unfortunately, she seems to have feelings for someone else

I fall down dead she never see the tears I cry
Her rejection of me would be devastating and I would be heartbroken

Please please please do not go
I desperately implore her to not leave me because I need her in my life

How long can the days go on
The passing of time feels unbearable without her presence

When my love is so strong
My love for her is intense and overpowering

And I know I cannot tell a lie
I have to be honest about my feelings for her

I want to see him go bye
I wish she would break it off with the other guy

Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
I want her to leave him and be with me instead

Now I wonder what she would say
I'm curious about how she would react to my confession of love

If I told her that I felt this way
If I expressed my feelings to her honestly

Why know it might make her turn either way
It could potentially sway her toward me or push her away

So all I can do is patiently pray
I can only hope and pray that she chooses me

Pray pray pray pray
I continue to hope and pray for her to choose me

You hurt me so
Her rejection would be painful and devastating

I got something to show you
I have something to prove my love for her

when I tried out for my high-school jazz band 's bass position I played this song with the solo (which I'd been practicing like all hell) and I made it in the band. The kid who didn't make it was actually a much better bassist than me. I still feel kinda bad about this.

Without question. It is timeless and it was so different from other music even then. So many memories.

@jonluther2596

44w↑1

@@theprinceofcrows8691 That’s for sure. It came out the year I was born, so I didn’t start listening to it until years later. I grew up listening to it, though, because my older brother played it in the house all the time. He used to fast forward the “why can’t I get just 1 fuck?” part, so as soon as I possibly could, I played the tape when my brother wasn’t home, so I could figure out what he was skipping over. Lol.

@theprinceofcrows8691

44w

@@jonluther2596 Yeah, my story is a little different from yours but a good one nonetheless. I was introduced to them from my best friends big sister Melissa back when we were in junior high school in 1989. We were little punk rock skateboarders at the time and we would go over his house after school and ride the ramps we made in his back yard. His sister would watch us from her bedroom window that opened up right to where we were and play music while we skated. We would talk and laugh and she would sing some of the songs to me when she would lure me away from skating.

She had a crush on me and I liked her a whole lot too but was too scared to do anything about it because she was older than me and I was just starting to get comfortable with girls my own age. She would play this album for us a lot and we would chat for hours at her window so I ended up borrowing the tape and copying it from her before I ended up buying it myself. I moved later that year so we never quite hooked up despite the mutual attraction but I never forgot her and fell in love with both her and the album all at once. Sweet memories and one of the best groups I ever listened too by far. I cannot help but think of her and other memories from that time but the music is timeless. We always loved the sexual connotations in the lyrics and would sing those some lines from "add it up" and other songs too. That is the beauty of good music; it can transport you to a different time and place where the possibilities were endless and you didn't have a care in the world. Priceless!

don't talk like that it annoys me we don't all just listen to what's on the radio don't make assumptions. And what's on the radio must appeal to someone because it gets played.

@rachiethevidkid

@@sydglover4842 I didn't say anything about the radio. Nor imply that teenagers listened to shit music. I have just found very little in the way of novel, inspiring music that would provide a decent soundtrack for teens in the way that the 80s/90s offered me. Any recommendations?

This song makes me depressed because it reminds me of what I've been going through the past four years. Having this much love someone but never being able to tell them because you would be a social outcast and possibly ruin your relationship with that person.

I think God Himself played bass for this song.

It was one of the first ones, the one in which Troy was trying to make the Greendale football team, in a scene in which Jeff was apologizing to Annie for something.

@Waniawox

+OneMetricMinute I meant that I never noticed a possible influence to the Pixies' sound and I loved both bands when they were first around

I think the bassline is pretty good, actually. It doesn't have to be a billion notes a second, it doesn't have to be complex licks with slaps and harmonics. A bassline in a band that's not bassist-centered needs to CONTRIBUTE to the song. Surely, you understand that a Les Claypool style bass would not fit this song? As far as I can hear, it's a lot more than just root note 4th's. The bassline IS the melody. Any bassplayer respects a fellow player that can pull off something like that.
