Scum Of The Earth Video (MV)

There was a group called called Scum of the Earth

And they say they got their birth

In a basement bar on Greek Street down in Soho

The bass man he smoked grass and the drummer he kicked ass

And the lead guitar ate speed while everybody boogied

The drummer's name was Mavis he was a twice convicted rapist

They say he learned to play in a garage band in Balham

He'd cut out your heart for a dime and he kept lousy time

But the rest of the band was too damned scared to tell him

And The Scum of the Earth they just keep boogyin' on

Higher and higher until the fire was burned out and gone

And The Scum of the Earth they just keep boogyin' on

Now the bass man's names was Spiker he dressed like a black jacket biker

But underneath his leathers he wore black lace silk panties

They say he sang his sweet love number directly to the drummer

While he kept his eye on the guitar player's fanny

On lead guitar was Static he was a hey health-food fanatic

He lived on berries and nuts and had scurvy and rickets

He did his Yoga excercisin' and he kept on tryin' and tryin'

'til finally he could bend all the way over and lick it

And The Scum of the Earth they just keep boogyin' on

Higher and higher until the fire was burned out and gone

And The Scum of the Earth they just keep boogyin' on.

Now one night Scum of the Earth they was playin' for all they was worth

Guitar screams and wails and cymbal crashes louder faster and higher

Till their electric cords caught fire and the whole damn band was burned to a pile of ashes

And The Scum of the Earth they just keep boogyin' on

Higher and higher until the fire was burned out and gone

And The Scum of the Earth they just keep boogyin' on
