about

Saw a goth in Camden, UK. She was a rather large young lady in a full length leather dress on a hot summer day. I was impressed with that level of dedication.

lyrics

Sherry likes to call herself “ The Blood Taker,”
Red spiked hair dark poetry maker
Her mom still calls her Sher but that isn’t going to shake her
She knows what she is all about

But it’s comin’ on June and the days have gotten brighter
It’s hard to get the doom from the music that exites her
She’s fighting of the tan wants her skin a little whiter
The powder won’t stay on through the sweat,

Goths in the summer It’s a hard time to self express
Goths in the summer as the sun lights your leather dress
2. doing your best to keep yourself depressed
I know you’ve got to show the world you have the deepest pain
But now the PVC is chafing where it meets the chains
Goths of summer It’s a hard world

Davey running out of things that he can pierce
But when the sun gets hold of metal you got something fierce
But hey ya gotta smirk and bare it if you’re in the scene
You gotta suck it up and wear it there’s no in between

It’s worth when you scare a kid by Camden locke
And when you understand that Rezner’s more than just hard rock
James likes the darkness, likes the black and buckles of all sorts
But sometimes wishes he could slip into shorts

I came from a town where we all wore Op
Flowered shirts and sandles feel like home to me
Now I spend a lot of time over in NYC
But come the winter I ain’t giving up short sleeves…I get it
