Story Behind the Song
I wrote this song (as a joke, mind you...) back in '95ish while on break with my friend who insisted we go to McDonalds, despite the fact I've been vegetarian since 1990... We saw these bulimic Morticia's sitting across from us, and it became our term for this disturbing surburban trend... Mall Goths! Now that halloween's over, where do we get our black nail polish???!
ps- the fake british accent is intentional.
Lyrics
Jet black clothes and jet black hair,
Ten years ago I would've cared.
9 inch nails and painted black.
"Death is cool, but I've been spared."
Hang your head with your hand to your forehead,
See who can look more dead.
9 inch nails and painted black,
Watch another Bauhaus video, and you'll be fed.
(chorus)
Here come the Mall Goths
Here come the Mall Goths
Here come the Mall Goths
Here come the Mall Goths...
And they're here to such your blood.
Hoohahahahahahaaaaa!
Fishnet arms, a pair of Doc's,
Be the hundredth kid on your block
To look like you've died 80 years ago,
And live life like a Mall Goth Ho!
etc......
