lyrics
GENERAL JACK
General Jack of the Cosmos
Tells me what to do
If he barks your name at me
I have to come for you
All the cops spinning out because
They don’t know who I am
But if you see me prowling around your street
Call me Son of Sam
I write in signs of sorrow
From the underground
In the dark that crawls along
Have to put you down
All the fellas freaking out because
They don’t know who I am
But if you see me prowling around your street
Call me Son of Sam
All the ladies going crazy because
They don’t know who I am
But if you see me prowling around your street
Call me Son of Sam
General Jack of the Cosmos
Tells me what to do
If he barks your name at me
I have to come for you
All the cops spinning out because
They don’t know who I am
But if you see me prowling around your street
Call me Son of Sam
I write in signs of sorrow
From the underground
In the dark that crawls along
Have to put you down
All the fellas freaking out because
They don’t know who I am
But if you see me prowling around your street
Call me Son of Sam
All the ladies going crazy because
They don’t know who I am
But if you see me prowling around your street
Call me Son of Sam

The Herms Los Angeles, California
Having recently relocated from the Bay Area to Los Angeles, The Herms add true grit and originality to the sun-fried, post- punk scene of Southern California. Born in the co-ops of Berkeley, nurtured in the streets of San Francisco, and finally finding residence on the East side of LA, The Herms bring a frenetic, schizophrenic charm to the lo-fi reemergence. ... more
