B-side Ourselves

The New Skid Row (1999-2004)

2010-03-09T03:18:00.001-08:00

Skid Row re-formed in 1999 with new lead vocalist Johnny Solinger, formerly of Solinger, and drummer Charlie Mills. Mills soon left the band and was replaced with then-new drummer Phil Varone, formerly of Saigon Kick. After re-forming, they opened for KISS on their farewell tour, and have also played with other 1980s metal bands such as Poison. They have been on tour every summer. In 2002 they were part of the Rock Never Stops Tour.

The new lineup has shared the stage with such acts as Aerosmith, Kid Rock, Def Leppard, Sammy Hagar, as well as many others from their genre.

Skid Row released their fourth full-length studio album, Thickskin, in 2003, which was their first album to feature Solinger and Varone. This would also be their first proper studio album in 8 years. After wide reports of drug abuse , Varone left the band and was replaced by current drummer Dave Gara.

Possible reunion with Bach

2009-01-20T23:36:00.000-08:00

Skid Row reunion rumours have often surfaced during the post-Sebastian Bach period. Sebastian Bach appears to welcome the idea but said in an interview that it is up to the band. However, Rachel Bolan, Scotti Hill, and Dave Sabo said that a reunion would never occur.

Revolutions per Minute and recent activities (2005-present)

The fifth (and most recent) Skid Row album, Revolutions per Minute, was released on October 24, 2006 through SPV Records. Michael Wagener reunited with Skid Row and became their producer for this album.

In 2007, the band recorded Jingle Bells for a Monster Ballads Christmas album. At
the end of January 2008 Skid Row did a few shows in Miami, Florida with Mötley Crüe's
Vince Neil, Ratt and Slaughter.

On February 20, 2008, the band played a private, invitation-only party for the Nordic
Games Program group at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. Keri Kelli
filled in for an ailing Dave Sabo.

Slave to the Grind (1991-1992)

2009-01-20T23:00:00.000-08:00

Skid Row returned to the studio with Wagener in 1990, to record their second studio album. Slave to the Grind, released in June 1991, debuted at Number 1 in the American charts. Slave to the Grind became a major success, and Skid Row once again went out on a worldwide tour which lasted over a year, including a leg supporting Guns N' Roses in 1991 and an appearance at the Castle Donington festival in 1992. Slave to the Grind was a departure for the band; where Skid Row was an album that followed the typical hair band formula, Slave to the Grind had a heavier sound, even verging on thrash with the song Mudkicker.

B-Side Ourselves, Hiatus, Subhuman Race and departure of Sebastian Bach (1993-1998)

Before a third album could be recorded, Skid Row took an extended hiatus in 1993, following the Slave to the Grind tour and the release of the EP, B-Side Ourselves, in September 1992.

For some time, Skid Row parted ways with Wagener, possibly due to their music taking a different direction for the follow-up to Slave to the Grind. In 1994, the band returned to the studio with Bob Rock (of Metallica, Mötley Crüe and The Offspring fame), to record their third studio album. Subhuman Race, released in March 1995, charted in the top 40. Although it did not achieve the success of Skid Row and Slave to the Grind, it generated a few hits, but at that point, their videos were rarely played on MTV, partly because grunge was rising and metal was dying.

Eventually, Sebastian Bach was fired by the band in late 1996, just after turning down a show with KISS. Shortly after, drummer Rob Affuso left the band. Although the group never officially disbanded, the remaining members went on to play briefly in a band called Ozone Monday in mid 1998, which featured lead vocalist Sean McCabe.

Skid Row (1989-1990)

2009-01-20T22:41:00.000-08:00

Skid Row, released in January 1989, was an instant success. The record went 5x platinum and produced the hit singles "18 and Life", "I Remember You", and "Youth Gone Wild". Despite this success there was a lot of bitterness, because in return for the helping hands of Jon Bon Jovi they had to enter a publishing deal with his newly established Underground Music Company in which they waived their rights to publishing royalties. All money was paid to Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora. After a big public dispute Richie Sambora gave his share of the money back to Skid Row.

In what is referred to as "The Bottle Incident" by fans of the band, Bach was hit with a bottle thrown onstage from the crowd at a concert in Springfield, Massachusetts, where Skid Row was opening for Aerosmith on December 27, 1989. Bach threw the bottle back, hitting a girl (not the shooter), so he jumped on the crowd to beat the person who can be seen on a tour video released by Skid Row called Oh Say Can You Scream in 1990.

Shortly thereafter Bach put on, during a concert, a t-shirt proclaiming the anti-gay slogan "AIDS Kills Fags Dead". The shirt was thrown onstage by a fan, and Bach, without looking at it, put it on. After the concert Bach apologized, stating "My grandmother had recently died of cancer, I guess I would be pissed too if I saw someone wearing a 'Cancer Kills Grandmothers Dead' shirt". In later years Bach apologized seriously for wearing the shirt, and made a substantial donation to an AIDS charity.

Skid Row All About

2009-01-20T22:30:00.000-08:00

Skid Row's debut is their best selling album, it's not their best work. It pales in comparison to their masterpiece Slave to the Grind (1991) and the underrated Subhuman Race (1995). Although it's still better than the Bach-less Thickskin (2003).

Skid Row's debut is slightly generic, although it's still a strong album. The highlights include the ballads "18 and Life," "I Remember You," and the anthem "Youth Gone Wild." The rest of the album is by-the-numbers standard 80s metal. But they're still all good songs.

If you want to check out Skid Row, I recommend the follow-up album "Slave to the Grind." But Skid Row's debut is still a good CD. If you are looking for a good 80s metal record, this album should please you... more.

History

Early years (1986-1988)

Skid Row was formed in Toms River, New Jersey, in 1986 by bassist Rachel Bolan and guitarist Dave "The Snake" Sabo. The pair added guitarist Scotti Hill, drummer Rob Affuso, and lead vocalist Sebastian Bach, who replaced original lead vocalist Matt Fallon, to the line-up by early 1987. The band began playing shows in clubs throughout the eastern United States. With the assistance of friend Jon Bon Jovi, secured a record deal for Skid Row with Atlantic Records in 1988, then entered the studio with Michael Wagener (of Ozzy Osbourne, White Lion and Extreme fame) to record their first album.

1. Youth Gone Wild

[Bolan / Snake]

Since I was born they couldn't hold me down
Another misfit kid, another burned-out town

Never played by the rules I never really cared
My nasty reputation takes me everywhere

I look and see it's not only me
So many others have stood where I stand
We are the young so raise your hands

They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild

Boss screamin' in my ear about who I'm supposed to be
Get you a 3-piece Wall Street smile and son you'll look just like me

I said "Hey man, there's something that you oughta know.
I tell ya Park Avenue leads to Skid Row."

I look and see it's not only me
We're standin' tall ain't never a doubt
We are the young, so shout it out

They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild

They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild
We are the youth gone wild

2. 18 And Life

[Bolan / Snake]

Ricky was a young boy, He had a heart of stone.
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone.
Just barely got out of school, came from the edge of town.
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down.
He had no money, oh no good at home.
He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone
And now it's

18 and life You got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go

Tequila in his heartbeat, His veins burned gasoline.
It kept his motor running but it never kept him clean.
They say he loved adventure, "Ricky's the wild one."
He married trouble and had a courtship with a gun.
Bang Bang Shoot 'em up, The party never ends.
You can't think of dying when the bottle's your best friend
And now it's

18 and life You got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go

"Accidents will happen" they all heard Ricky say
He fired his six-shot to the wind that blew a child away.

18 and life You got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go

3. Piece Of Me

[Bolan]

Sleazin' in the city
Lookin' for a fight
Got my heels and lookin' pretty
On a Saturday night, night, night

Good God, bless my soul
I need a fix of rock 'n roll
Come on baby you gotta wait and see
You better hurry
To get a piece of me

Caught a lonely lady
Crying on a cigarette
I got nasty, nasty habits
And that's all she's gonna get

One for the money, two for the show
So 'round and 'round and 'round we go
Take a look at what-a you might need
You better hurry
To get a piece of me

I don't have looks, I don't have money
But I know one thing's for sure
One night ain't enough of my love
She wanted more, more, more

Sleazin' in the city
Lookin' for a fight
Got my heels and lookin' pretty
On a Saturday night, night, night

One for the money, two for the show
So 'round and 'round and 'round we go
Take a look at what-a you might need
You better hurry
To get a piece of me
To get a piece of me
To get a piece of me

4. I Remember You

[Bolan / Snake]

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
And when you needed me I came through

I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind and you would make me see
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew you were there for me
Time after time you were there for me

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you

We spend the summer with the top rolled down
Wished ever after would be like this
You said I love you babe, without a sound
I said I'd give my life for just one kiss
I'd live for your smile and die for your kiss

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you

We've had our share of hard times
But that's the price we paid
And through it all we kept the promise that we made
I swear you'll never be lonely

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
Washed away a dream of you
But nothing else could ever take you away
'Cause you'll always be my dream come true
Oh my darling, I love you

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you

Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights and every endless day
I'd wanna hear you say - I remember you

5. The Threat

[Bolan / Snake]

I've been convicted with and
without reason
Tarred and feathered like a piper on
a killing spree
And felt the anger of generations
And been the target of the cheap shots
of authority

So you think you cut me down to size
Well there's something you
should realize
It's gonna take more than a break
in the law
To make me smile pretty for the
wreckin' ball

Won't beg, won't bleed
The end of sacrifice is a threat
to society
Hard line, you'll see
Once you've made a mark, you've
made a threat to society

I wasn't put here to be treated
Like some disease you hoped would go
away if left alone
You can sweep me under the carpet
But, I'll still infect your need to use me
as a steppin' stone

So you think you cut me down to size
Well there's something you
should realize
It's gonna take more than a break
in the law
To make me smile pretty for the
wreckin' ball

Won't beg, won't bleed
The end of sacrifice is a threat
to society
Hard line, you'll see
Once you've made a mark, you've
made a threat to society

So you think you cut me down to size
Well there's something you
should realize
It's gonna take more than a break
in the law
To make me smile pretty for the
wreckin' ball

6. Psycho Love

[Bolan]

Check out Clementine
Cleanin' needles in her wine
Face down in her one-eyed world
With her brain-dead valentine

She'll be your zombie, your livin' dead
Her sweet corruption
It's gonna make you, gonna break you
Oh yeah, she said...

Haunt my house of pain
And feel my psycho love
We'll shine and pray for rain
To heal my psycho love

Legs at ten and two
Chain her down that's what you do
King Tut and snake-eyed slut
In the pink but screamin' blue

I'll taste your crazy, you smell insane
I'm just another ghost
Inside your spirits hall of fame

Haunt my house of pain
And feel my psycho love
We'll shine and pray for rain
To heal my psycho love

As the warm smooth soul
Chases through the cold silence
of a body
A body of touch not feel
One question is she a stone in the
devil's garden
Or a speck in an angels dust
Ashes to ashes
And lust to lust

She'll teach you true love
Watchin' you turn blue love
She'll wrap you in a chokehold
And suck your symptom dry

7. Monkey Business

[Bolan / Snake]

Outside my window there's a
Whole lot of trouble comin'
The cartoon killers and the
Rag cover clones
Stack heels kickin' rhythm
Of social circumcision
Can't close the closet on
Shoe box full of bones

Kangaroo lady with her bourbon
in a pouch
Can't afford the rental on
a bamboo couch
Collecting back her favors 'cause her
well is running dry
I know her act is terminal,
But she ain't gonna die

Slim intoxicado drinkin' dime
store hooch
Is always in a circle with his
part-time pooch
Little creepy's playing dollies in the
New York rain
Thinkin' Bowie's just a knife
Ooh the pain

I ain't seen the sun since I don't
know when
The freaks come out at nine
And it's twenty to ten
What's this funk
That you call junk
To me it's just monkey business

Blind man in the vox that will
probably die
The village kids laugh as they walk by
A psycho is on the edge of this human
garbage dump
And the vultures in the sewers
are telling
Him to jump

Into the fire from the frying pan
Tripping on his tongue
For a cool place to stand
Where's this shade
That you've got it made
To me it's just monkey business

Monkey business
Slippin' on the track
Monkey business
Jungle in black
Ain't your business if I got
No monkey on my back

Monkey business
Slippin' on the track
Monkey business
Jungle in black
Ain't your business
If I got
Monkey's on my back

The vaseline gypsies and silicone souls
Dressed to the society
Hypocrite heartbeat and cheap alibis
Can't get you by that monkey

8. Quicksand Jesus

[Bolan / Snake]

She caught the melting sky
It burned but still the winter passes
by and by
To the other side

A slow parade of wind
That blows through threes
That wilted with the season's children
Are we saved by the words
of bastard saints
Do we live in fear or faith
Tell me now who's behind the rain

A maze of tangled grace
The symptoms of ?for real? are
crumbling from embrace
But still we chase..the shadows
of belief
And new religion clouds our visions of
the roots of our souls

Are we ashamed of our own fate
Or play the fool for our own sake
Tell me who's behind the rain

What do we need where do we go
When we get where we don't know
Why should we doubt the virgin white
of fallen snow
When faith's our shelter from the cold

Quicksand Jesus I'm so far away
without you
Quicksand Jesus I'm so far away
without you
Quicksand Jesus I'm so far away
without you

Quicksand Jesus I need you
Quicksand Jesus I believe you
Quicksand Jesus I'm so far away

9. Slave To The Grind

[Bach / Bolan / Snake]

You got me forced to crack
my lids in two
I'm still stuck inside this rubber room
I gotta punch the clock that
leads the blind
I'm just another gear in the assembly
line - oh no

The noose gets tighter around
my throat
But I ain't at the end of my rope 'cause
I won't be the one left behind
Can't be king of the world
If you're slave to the grind
Tear down the rat racial slime
Can't be king of the world
If you're slave to the grind

Get it?

A routine injection, a lethal dose
But my day in the sun ain't even close
There's no need to waste
your prayers on me
You better mark my words
'cause I'm history
Yes indeed

You might beg for mercy to get by
But I'd rather tear this thorn
from my side

I won't be the one left behind
You can't be king of the world
If you're slave to the grind
Tear down the rat racial slime
Can't be king of the world
If you're slave to the grind

They swallowed their daggers by
turning their trick
They tore my intentions apart
brick by brick
I'm sick of the jive
You talk verbal insecticide

They swallowed their daggers by
turning their trick
They tore my intentions apart
brick by brick
I'm sick of the jive
You talk verbal insecticide

I won't be the one left behind

You can't be king of the world
If you're slave to the grind
Tear down the rat racial slime
You can't be king of the world
If you're slave to the grind

I said slave to the grind
Slave to the grind
Slave to the grind

10. Into Another (Remix)

[Bolan / Snake]

Slowly I heal the love that's found its way
Onto another path in times of change
Crossing a bridge unknown
Hoping our strength will hold
Should they both let go then let me lay
.....Let me lay

Show me a sign
To a light that shines
One direction into another
Sheltered peace of mind

Somewhere I lost a piece of memory
Somehow I know my legs will carry me
Searching for circles end
Hoping the wounds will mend
Should this scar, then it was meant to be

Show me a sign
To a light that shines
One direction into another
Sheltered peace of mind

11. Frozen (Demo 94)

[Bolan / Snake]

As I stare into the fire
All my thoughts go up in flames
Here I stare into the fire
I'll be waiting on the rain

The box I keep myself in, closes out my air
So I build a fire, so I can sit and stare

Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen

As I stare into the weather
My eyes drying from the cold
As I stare into the weather
I sense my thoughts growing old

Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen

I listen to the prophets predict the stem of tides
I stare into the weather that's keeping me inside

Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen

As I stare into the fire
Will the prophets change my mind
While I stare into the fire
All the colors treat me kind

I'll dust away the fallings the winter leaves for me
I'll stare into the fire and set tomorrow free

Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen
Can it be I'm frozen

12. My Enemy (Remix)

[Affuso / Bolan / Hill]

Play the fence, one way you're gonna fall
Sometimes I don't know who you are at all
Your opinion is something that you've got inside
But I see the loyalty has up and died

Your skeletons
My skeletons
Life is only getting shorter

You can be my enemy and I don't care
Keep throwin' stones at yourself

Stories run in circles that have no end
I hit on luck, then you bum me out again
There's a way that you keep the truth in check
Scratch the surface and treat it like a broken neck
Keep the peace when face to face with the scene
Got a hunch that ain't what you really mean
Weather's fair, does that change where you stand?
My back is turned and the knife is in your hand

Your genocide
My genocide
Life is only getting shorter

You can be my enemy and I don't care
Keep throwin' stones at yourself
You can be my enemy and I don't care
You try too hard and I can tell

13. Breakin' Down (Remix)

[Snake]

What was it you once said
That there would be things in life that couldn't be
Not for a second did I believe you
Not for a minute did I believe that

Within your need you lie alone
This empty space you call your home

If you just let me in
I wouldn't let you break down
I'm breakin' down

As if you thought the rain could wash away the day
And could heal you
Not for a second did I believe it
Not for a minute did I believe that

Within your need you lie alone
This empty space you call your home

If you just let me in
I wouldn't let you break down
I'm breakin' down

What was it you once said
That there would be things in life that couldn't be
Not for a second did I believe you
Not for a minute did I believe that

If you just let me in
I wouldn't let you break down
I'm breakin' down

14. Beat Yourself Blind

[Bach / Bolan / Hill / Snake]

Give me a minute 'cause I'm wrapped in superstition
Pour me a chemical to take away the edge
Don't make up anything that's breaking all your fingers
Just slap around a bit of what it takes to pledge

Carry out another stone as a slave
Ask general-know-it-all "Who's juggling the earth?"
Tease all the natives that will walk across your grave
And shove aside your nation all for what it's worth

Beat yourself blind [x6]
An open eyes and a closed mind

Look at the suit in suspended animation
A faded outline that used to be a man
A piece of paper that's fallen out a window
Has got a better chance to know where it will land

Beat yourself blind [x6]
An open eyes and a closed mind

To bleed in vain, to bleed in vain--under my eyes are painted skies
Down at the boneyard, they're diggin' up the relics
Handfuls of parasites thrown into machines
I got the phone call they're tearin' down the mission
The zombies had a ball, but don't know what it means

Beat yourself blind

15. Forever

[Bolan / Hill / Snake]

Remember when we were young
Just two kids on the run
With a fist full of dreams
Drinking wild Playing cool
Stay out late Caught in school
While cigarettes lie and chase In the backseat of my Chevrolet
Where the radio would play like rain
And all the world would fade away

Together we stand
Well it's just you and me
So Baby hold on and you'll see
Forever we stand
And we'll make it through
'Cause I know I can't live without you
No, no, no, no

They said we're growing up too fast
What we had would never last
So we left without goodbyes
And then sometimes we got tough
Roads a head look kind of rough
And all we had was you and I
We'd pray to God on those cool dark nights
And then we knew that it would be alright
We'd go through hell! just to hold each other tight

Together we stand
Well it's just you and me
So baby hold on and you'll see
Forever we stand
And we'll make it through
'Cause I know I can't live without you

As long as the world keeps turning
For as long as it's another day
Together forever
We'll stand In the backseat of my Chevrolet
Where the radio would play like rain
And all the world fade away

Together we stand
Well it's just you and me
So baby hold on and you'll see
Forever we stand
And we'll make it through
'Cause I know I can't live without you
Forever, forever, forever we stand Forever, forever, forever we stand

16. Fire In The Hole

[Bolan / Hill]

Why not just skin me like a Yankee pig?
This neo-Nazi stuff just ain't my gig
Still ain't sure what you had in mind
I picked it from the stench you left behind
Steady drip of memory for my head
Bet you got jealousidal tendencies
Could I wind up dead

Something going around
Then there's fire in the hole
Cover me I'm going down

Then there's fire in the hole
Unlucky white kid didn't leave with the blues
Paint balls of fire
He had a ball with Dio
Give us love while we're covered in blood
Flying high but ain't sure which way is up
Crash landing in the submarines
Belly up to the enemy

Something going around
Then there's fire in the hole
Am I even sinking fast on the ship of souls
Cover me I'm going down
Then there's fire in the hole
There's something going around
Then there's fire in the hole
Cover me I'm going down
Then there's fire in the hole
Am I even sinking fast on the ship of souls
Cover me I'm going down

I sold my soul for you
You cut my life in two
Nightmares from what I've seen and where I've been
Made me run from you again

Controlling, big brother's eye
Containment? I'd rather die

We're all part of a new generation
Sold our souls to the next temptation
Lead us not to our own damnation

I've seen what hatred brings
I've seen the flesh of kings
Blinded my eyes my mouth you've sewn it shut
Protecting me from fucking up!

Controlling, big brother's eye
Containment? I'd rather die

We're all part of a new generation
Sold our souls to the next temptation
Lead us not to our own damnation

We're all part of a new generation
Sold our souls to the next temptation
Lead us not to our own damnation

We're all part of a new generation
Sold our souls to the next temptation
Lead us not to our own damnation

We're all part of a new generation
Sold our souls to the next temptation
Lead us not to our own damnation

New generation

2. Ghost

I feel the things I said
But never said how I felt
I know I waited much too long
Could I get it in your head
Without a head full of doubt
Looking back it seems that I
Went about it all wrong

Lying alone in the bed we made
Watching headlights on the shades
The ghosts that sleeping by your side
Are my promises to you that died
To you that died

Wasn't long ago
when forever was our friend
But now freedom's what I feel inside
It hurts so much to let you go
To know we'll never touch again
When I walk if I fall down
Can I take it in stride

Lying alone in the bed we made
Watching headlights on the shades
The ghosts that sleeping by your side
Are my promises to you that died
To you that died

I might let you go, but i'll never go away
I might let you go, but i'll never go away...yeah

I feel the things I said
But never said how I felt
I know I waited much too long

Lying alone in the bed we made
Watching headlights on the shades
The ghosts that sleeping by your side
Are my promises that died

Lying alone in the bed we made
Watching headlights on the shades
The ghosts that sleeping by your side
Are my promises that died
To you that died
To you that died

3. Swallow Me (The Real You)

Everything's changed
All ties are strained...to say the least
Concepts deranged

It's just the way I see you
I only see the real you

You can't swallow me
I'm jagged as the pill you choke on
You can't swallow me
As long as I can see the real you

I can't be blamed
To feel this way no more
Everything's changed

It's just the way I see you
I only see the real you

You can't swallow me
I'm jagged as the pill you choke on
You can't swallow me
As long as I can see the real you
The real you
The real you

I won't let you pull me down
I got my shit together now
I won't let you pull me down
I got my shit together

It's just the way I see you
I only see the real you

You can't swallow me
I'm jagged as the pill you choke on
You can't swallow me
As long as I can see

Everything's changed
All ties are strained (to say the least)
Everything's change

4. Born A Beggar

As the day breaks through the doorway
And i'm still chained to this house
But you call me and I follow
And act like i'm so proud
Still reading the sidewalk
And it smells like morning news
And I don't know, why I still can't
Seem to pull away from you

Watch the window
Time means nothing
Watch the window
'Til I see you coming

Born a beggar
Will you ever
See me more than Pavlov's hungry dog
See no colours
Live another
Day to feed on everything you are...and you are

When the day sleeps and the sunshine
No longer burns my eyes
And the sound of your footsteps
Is the only thing that lies
Between me and the feeling
That life fills these four walls
That cage me completely
Just waiting on your call

Watch the window
Time means nothing
Watch the window
'Til I see you coming

Born a beggar
Will you ever
See me more than Pavlov's hungry dog
See no colours
Live another
Day to feed on everything you are
On everything you are

I run for you
A fall so hard
My secrets are buried in the yard

Born a beggar
Will you ever
See me more than Pavlov's hungry dog
See no colours
Live another
Day to feed on everything you are

Born a beggar
Will you ever
See me more than Pavlov's hungry dog
See no colours
Live another
Day to feed on everything you are

On everything you are
On everything you are
On everything you are

5. Thick Is The Skin

Eightball, hanging overhead
Flushed out like Frankenstein
One more, for the living dead
That's not, me this time

Knocked down, I've been down before
Yet still we bare the load
If I would, want it anymore
I just might explode

All your heroes have died and left you to
Rise from the ashes and live for today

Can you take it all
When we're standing tall
We don't need a wall, built around us
Jump into the flame
One and all the same
We won't feel the pain
Thick is the skin, thick is the skin - yeah!

Outside, still looking in
I'll keep what I've made mine
Timebomb strapped to my chin
Step down or fall in line

All your heroes have died and left you to
Rise from the ashes and live for today

Can you take it all
When we're standing tall
We don't need a wall, built around us
Jump into the flame
One and all the same
We won't feel the pain
Thick is the skin, thick is the skin - yeah!

Hey [x15]

[Solo]

Can you take it all
When we're standing tall
We don't need a wall, built around us
Jump into the flame
One and all the same
We won't feel the pain
Thick is the skin

Can you take it all
When we're standing tall
We don't need a wall, built around us
Jump into the flame
One and all the same
We won't feel the pain
Thick is the skin, thick is the skin
Thick is the skin, thick is the skin - yeah!

Hey [x15]

6. See You Around

I never promised you the sunshine
You never handed me the moon
We're pulling threads out of our faded silver lining
We've grown out of our cocoon

The last train is leaving
There's nothing more than I can say
I didn't mean to bring you down
I guess i'll see you around

I left the best of my intentions
Took it one day at a time
It's not like all is lost or that the world is ending
We've just fallen from divine

The last train is leaving
There's nothing more than I can say
I didn't mean to bring you down
I guess i'll see you around
Will I see you around

Whatever direction we go
Rest assured the one thing we know
Things just didn't really go our way

It's not like all is lost or that the world is ending
We've just fallen from divine

The last train is leaving
There's nothing more than I can say
I didn't mean to bring you down

The last train is leaving
There's nothing more than I can say
I didn't mean to bring you down
I guess i'll see you around
Will I see you around

7. Mouth Of Voodoo

You're testing my patience
I've got nothing but time
You'll never break down
The walls in my mind

Your fetishes are nothing more than a game
When I truly test your threshold of pain
Let me be in you ceremony
Burn me in your ritual
I can rise with you below me
We'll walk in time as we fall into the mouth of voodoo

Then we can shine, shine, shine
And I'm sure the sun won't mind
Then we can shine, shine, shine - oh yeah!

Your love is so blinding
My lust is a curse
It's painful to wonder but waiting is worse
You're sticking your pins now
It's taking it's toll
Crush and obsession leave scars on your soul

Let me be in you ceremony
Burn me in your ritual
I can rise with you below me
We'll walk in time as we fall into the mouth of voodoo

Then we can shine, shine, shine
And I'm sure the sun won't mind
Then we can shine, shine, shine - oh yeah!

[Solo]

Let me be in you ceremony
Burn me in your ritual
I can rise with you below me
We'll walk in time as we fall into the mouth of voodoo

Then we can shine, shine, shine
And I'm sure the sun won't mind
Then we can shine, shine, shine

Then we can shine, shine, shine
I'm sure the sun won't mind - yeah!
Then we can shine, shine, shine
Then we can shine, shine, shine - oh yeah!

Oh, oh, oh...

8. One Light

There's a sound in my head
Holy wine, breakin' bread
between time and what we said
drifts the innocence we've shed

In this moment there's a day
for a sad and broken babe
there's a fracture on this hallowed ground where we lay

One light burns, one light fades
Behind the door are better days
When the light shines on me
I'll know the world still turns
One light burns, one light burns

There's a prayer on the wall
One by one say them all
Why we run before we crawl
Stands the reason that we fall
In the flower there's a field
Sublime but so surreal
There's a fracture on this sacred ground to be healed

One light burns, one light fades
Behind the door are better days
When the light shines on me
I'll know the world still turns
One light burns, one light burns
One light burns

[Solo]

One light burns, one light fades
Behind the door are better days
When the light shines on me
I'll know the world still turns

One light burns, one light fades
Behind the door are better days
When the light shines on me
I'll know the world still turns

One light burns, one light fades
Behind the door are better days
When the light shines on me
I'll know the world still turns

One light burns (one light burns..)
One light burns (one light burns..)
One light burns (one light burns..)
One light burns (one light burns..)

9. I Remember You Two

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
But when you needed me I came through
And when you needed me I came through

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand?
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights, and every endless day
I wanna hear you say I remember you

I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind but you would make me see
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew that you were there for me
Time after time you were there for me

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand?
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights, and every endless day
I wanna hear you say I remember you

We've had our share of hard times
But that's the price we paid
And through it all we kept the promise that we made
I swear you'll never be lonely

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand?
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights, and every endless day
I wanna hear you say I remember you

Remember you
Remember you
Remember you
Remember you
Remember you
Remember you
You you you you you
1 2 3 4!

10. Lamb

I have been here for so long
I've carried all the weight
'Til something pulls me underneath the tide
Climb to where the air is thin
so I can breathe again
Still it makes me wonder deep inside

Nothing's free
No one bleeds
We're all machines

Shadows of you sins are following you
When it sucks you in, it's swallowing you
King of the mountain, that's what I am
Everybody's someone else's sacrificial lamb

Space between the world and me defying gravity
'Til something pulls me closer to the ground
Drink the chemicals we spill
Our eye is on the kill
While hell is freezing over, over

Nothing's free
No one bleeds
We're all machines

Shadows of you sins are following you
When it sucks you in, it's swallowing you
King of the mountain, that's what I am
Everybody's someone else's sacrificial lamb

[Solo]

Shadows of you sins are following you
When it sucks you in, it's swallowing you
King of the mountain, that's what I am
Everybody's someone else's sacrificial..

Shadows of you sins are following you
When it sucks you in, it's swallowing you
King of the mountain, that's what I am
Everybody's someone else's sacrificial lamb

Lamb!!
Ahhh!!!!

11. Down From Underground

Building shrines to gods you'll never know
Ppraying for rain, settling for snow
Spinning out of times to beats impaired
Do you know your name?
Do you even care?

Can you live your life
staring at the lights
Naked on the ice?
If it comes too fast, will you get it back
when it all goes black?

Down
Goin' down
Goin' down from
Down from underground

Icons that you hail are all mechanical
Feeling the pull
lost in the fold
Digging through a hole of discontent
What did you learn?
Or did you forget?

Can you live your life
staring at the lights
Naked on the ice?
If it comes too fast, will you get it back
when it all goes black?

Down
Goin' down
Goin' down from
Down from underground

And just what should real life be
Why don't you show me, the fiction of reality
The so called life that I see
And just what real life should be
Can't be what you have shown me

If it comes too fast, will you get it back
when it all goes black?

Down
Goin' down
Goin' down from
Down from underground

Down
Goin' down
Goin' down from
Down from underground

12. Hittin' A Wall

Peel me like dead skin
Hate to the bone
I drag you through my field of thorns
And drop you like a stone

Hold me under water
Kick me to the curb
All my wolves are at your door
Take me at my word

Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall - yeah!
Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall - yeah!
Look at me and you're seeing a monster
You ain't seen it all

If you're almighty
Holier than thou
Seems we've got a discrepancy
We should solve it now

I've built a bigger mountain
Now you want it gone
If you expect to beat me down
Brother bring it on

Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall - yeah!
Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall - yeah!
Look at me and you're seeing a monster
You ain't seen it all

Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall - yeah!
Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall - yeah!
Look at me and you're seeing a monster
You ain't seen it all

You want to wrestle with my morals
You think there's something I can learn
You toss me out like an abortion
And I'm the one that fucking burns?

Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall - yeah!
Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall - yeah!
Look at me and you're seeing a monster
You ain't seen it all

Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall - yeah!
Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall - yeah!
Look at me and you're seeing a monster
You ain't seen it all

Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall - yeah!
Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall - yeah!
Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall - yeah!
Hittin' a wall, we're hittin' a wall

Ahh!!!

Skid Row waited out the grunge storm and returned in 1995 with Subhuman Race, their strongest and most vicious record to date. Abandoning most of the pop-metal posturing of their early hit albums, Skid Row strip back their music to the basics roaring guitars and Sebastian Bach's shriek. It wasn't a hit the size of Slave to the Grind, yet it made an impressive showing, climbing into the Top 40. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Although Skid Row's debut is their best selling album, it's not their best work. It pales in comparison to their masterpiece "Slave to the Grind" (1991) and the underrated "Subhuman Race" (1995). Although it's still better than the Bach-less "Thickskin" (2003).

Skid Row's debut is slightly generic, although it's still a strong album. The highlights include the ballads "18 and Life," "I Remember You," and the anthem "Youth Gone Wild." The rest of the album is by-the-numbers standard 80s metal. But they're still all good songs.
