Skunx II
rock, Ultra-fast 1977 UK punk at 210 BPM smashed into trashy speed-metal; male vocals in thick, snarling Cockney. Guitars sludgy and scooped, riding one relentless downpicked riff that keeps mutating. Barked lead sits on top of a gutter-chant gang choir, ultra-low raspy growls on the “oh”s. Choruses explode with stacked shout-alongs and ugly-perfect harmonies; tom-heavy, slightly swung drums keep it lurching forward. Mix is hot, distorted, sweaty, like a bootleg from a tiny basement gig., low, punk, raw, merseybeat, comedy, metal

Lyrics
Skunx
Skunx
Born in a bus stop
Raised in a bar
Teeth like gravel
Heart like tar
Council estate couture
Hole in me shoe
Mum said “doctor”
I said “tattoo”
Skunx
Skunx
Skunx
Skunx
Skunx
Skunx
Skins and punks
We’re skunx
Skunx
Skunx
Too drunk for the hard lads
Too ugly for the punks
We are
We are
We are the skunx
Half shaved head
Half bad idea
Half cheap lager
Half pure fear
Boots too big and the brain too small
Can’t spell “future”
Tag it on a wall
Skunx
Skunx
Skunx
Skunx
Skunx
Skunx
Skins and punks
We’re skunx
Skunx
Skunx
Too wrong for the wrong crowd
Too loud for the drunks
We are
We are
We are the skunx
Left foot
Right foot
Straight in the bin
We lose
We lose
We still call it a win
Ugly little choir in a spit-stained ring
Can’t sing
Can’t dance
Still sing
Still sing
Skunx
Skunx
Skunx
Skunx
Skunx
Skunx
Skins and punks
We’re skunx
Skunx
Skunx
Too mad to grow up
Too proud to be hunsks
We are
We are
We are the skunx
We are
We are
We are the skunx
