Chairman of the

I'm not sure if there's a point to this story But I'm going to tell it again So many other people try to tell the tale Not one of them knows the end It was a junk-house in South Carolina Held a boy the age of ten Along with his older brother Billy And their mother and her boyfriend Who was a triple loser with some blue tattoos That were given to him when he was young And a drunk temper that was easy to lose And thank God he didn't own a gun Well, Billy woke up in the back of his truck Took a minute to open his eyes He took a peep into the back of the house And found himself a big surprise He didn't see his brother, but there was his mother With her red-headed head in her hands While the boyfriend had his gloves wrapped around an old priest Trying to choke the man Billy looked up from the window to the truck Threw up, and had to struggle to stand He saw that rednecked bastard with a hammer Turn the priest into a shell of a man The priest was putting up the fight of his life But he was old and he was bound to lose The boyfriend hit as hard as he could And knocked the priest right down to his shoes Well, now Billy knew but never actually met The preacher lying there in the room He heard himself say, "That must be my daddy!" Then he knew what he was gonna do Billy got up enough courage to get up And grabbed the first blunt thing he could find It was a cold, glass bottle of milk That got delivered every morning at nine Billy broke in and saw the blood on the floor, and He turned around and put the lock on the door He looked dead into the boyfriend's eye His mother was a ghost, too upset to cry, then He took a step toward the man on the ground From his mouth trickled out a little audible sound He heard the boyfriend shout, "Get out!" And Billy said, "Not 'til I know what this is all about!" "Well, this preacher here was attacking your mama" But Billy knew just who was starting the drama So Billy took dead aim at his face And smashed the bottle on the man who left his dad in disgrace, and The white milk dripped down with the blood, and the Boyfriend fell down dead for good Right next to the preacher who was gasping for air And Billy shouted, "Daddy, why'd you have to come back here?" His mama reached behind the sugar and honey, and Pulled out an envelope filled with money "Your daddy gave us this, " she collapsed in tears "He's been paying all the bills for years!" "Mama, let's put this body underneath the trees And put Daddy in the truck and head to Tennessee!" Just then, his little brother came in Holding the milkman's hat and a bottle of gin, singing La la la la, la la la la, yeah... La la la, la la la... La la la la, la la la la, yeah... La la la, la la la... La la la la, la la la la, yeah... La la la, la la la... La la la la, la la la la, yeah... La la la, la la la... Well now you heard another side to the story But you wanna know how it ends? If you must know the truth about the tale Go and ask the milkman

Very cool! Bit of rockabilly bit of post punk feel. Great band aesthetic too.

2024

2 crackheads rocking. My favorite band XD

2024 still the most honest band i've ever heard. Please come back Meg!

Does anyone have this complete show?

Классная тема - но флаг пидорасов российской уебатины мелькнул, как ложка говна или дегтя. Ах, да - 15 лет назат - это говно не так воняло как сейчас. И, нахрен мохать русской тряпкой, - если композицию исполняют не они - русские орки? А, группа из ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_White_Stripes КОТОРЫМ БОЛЬШОЙ РЕСПЕКТ!!! русская говнятина - не способна так завоевать аудиторию. русский нацыст - готов только окупировать, воровать и разрушать.

最高

The Raconteurs albums are masterpieces with this in my top 5 favorite songs by them.

I miss Meg.

As much as I love this ballad, something makes me want to say, 'hey only us Americans get to sing about our crappy people!' But I'll give this fantastic band a pass.

From "Billy broke in" on, it's just chills for me. WOW

Woooot

EPIC

Ces mecs créaient un " rock&roll masterpiece", une parfaite synthèse-express de l'histoire récente, du blues au métal. J'suis vieux, j'adore!

seems like the should have got together.

Best. Song. Ever.... Fight me

Best track ❤

love Brendan and the other lads 🙌🏼

Pure musical theatre! Amazing 👏

I miss her.

Cher.....kahn solo of the loan lie

J’aime ça, c’est dans la veine du blues et du rock, avec à chaque fois quelque chose de « higher ». Bref bravo, c’est de la culture ET de l’art (mineur ou majeur peu importe), car ça conjugue la technique et le cadeau offert à l’émotion, j’aime ça, c’est de la belle ouvrage !

what is jack doing at 2:11 onward? is there some kind of therimin filter? sounds like such a jack white thing but I really wanna know

Is the piano slightly out of tune?

Jack is a story teller. This shit is real.

God damn it such a perfect song. Now way to listen too much.

Sparse and sumptuous at the same time. I love this performance (well the entire basement set, honestly)--hits me right in the gut.

QUE PORRADA!

Jack literally melts a kid's face with that solo at 1:45

Fun!

Overview Lyrics Videos Listen Main results I seem to think I, think I got a little situation So listen to me sister listen maybe you can help I think I gave a lot of problems my consideration But not for me, it always seems to be for someone else Why all the people always seem to just be on vacation What do I get from it? I don't get anything at all I'm like a trash can holding all the information And every single time it leaves me feeling two feet tall Salute your solution, now, salute your solution I find myself just looking well beyond my best intentions Ignoring any kinda applause I might receive at all All others seem to find a road that's tough to satisfaction I find a ridicule that isn't cool for me at all And if there's one little answer to this complication Someone, somewhere to help me settle what is on my mind There's only one I'm only taking, getting and receiving There's only one I'm taking And only one I'm taking And only one I'm taking And only one I'm taking And only one I'm taking And only one And I got what I got all despite you And I get what I get just to spite you And I got what I got all despite you And I get what I get just to spite you And I got what I got all despite you And I get what I get just to spite you I find myself just looking well beyond my best intentions Ignoring any kinda applause I might receive at all All others seem to find a road that's tough to satisfaction I find a ridicule that isn't cool for me at all And if there's one little answer to this complication Someone, somewhere to help me settle what is on my mind There's only one I'm only taking, getting and receiving There's only one I'm taking And only one I'm taking And only one I'm taking And only one I'm taking And only one I'm taking And only one

As far as emotional expression goes that's my favorite live performance

A new it

A new it

love rock always and fuck you

Took me 13yrs to find this…damn

This is amazing.

Why did you throw her away? You're a great musician. Keep your integrity. You can inspire people. Do that. You got a lot to offer. You're bigger than you think - not in popularity, but a man who really cares about inspiring people. That's your job and it's a beautiful to listen to your music.

You are so much more powerful than when you were with your companion from the White Striapes. You did blow it with her. You are just an empty shell. Hope you get your life together. She was your best. Stop hurting the people who love you.
