Oh Alord the Gthings she said my F#God she Gshould be told
EI was very smart Dbroke the gentle hearts of Amany young virgins
EI was quick on the ball left them Gso lonely
They'd Djust give up trying
EAnd then she took my head Dsmashed it up left my Ayoung blood rising

The story behind the song

This song dives into the raw recounting of a sexual encounter, with lyrics that deliberately explore the physical details of the experience. It was crafted around jams by the musicians, with the band aiming for a "fat" sound to ensure it would translate powerfully in live performances. The guitar solo draws influence from hard rock acts, contributing to its heavy-metal feel. At its heart, it plays like a bold and unvarnished expression of primal energy.
