THE DAMNED are one of those

They’ll rumble and roll until their last breath.

They just announced album #12. It’s called
Darkadelic and lands on 28th April.

With first taster THE INVISIBLE MAN it’s back to their horror-ific
graveyard days. Nightmare punk rock at its Damned best.

Wicked stuff.
Wicked video.

Waking Up With… A Damned Rose

Posted on by JL

Works faster than caffeine

I got a feeling inside of me
It’s kind of strange like a stormy sea
I don’t know why I don’t know why
I guess these things have got to be

I gotta new rose I got it good
Guess I knew that I always would
I can’t stop to mess around
I got a brand new rose in town

See the sun see the sun it shines
Don’t get too close or it’ll burn your eyes
Don’t you run away that way
You can come back another day

I got a new rose I got it good
Guess I knew that I always would
I can’t stop to mess around
I got a brand new rose in town
I never thought this could happen to me

This is strange why should it be
I don’t deserve somebody this great
I’d better go or it’ll be too late
I got a feeling inside of me
It’s kind of strange like a stormy sea
I don’t know why I don’t know why
I guess these things have got to be

I got a new rose I got her good
Guess I knew that I always would
I can’t stop to mess around
I got a brand new rose in town
