Rock Guitar Is Alive and Well

      The guitar may no longer be Head of State in the Rock world, but it is still prominently positioned within the royal family. Below are three Rock songs with strong guitar, although to a decreasing degree.

     Headshrinkers are from West Midlands, UK. While their sound is typically more Post-Punk, “Monocle” is Rock. They are Garran Hickman (vocals), James Knott (guitar), Xavier Al-Naqib (bass), and Scarlett Churchill (drums).

Lyrics of “Monocle” by Headshrinkers

Enjoy the monocle from love's giving

We don't need no tropical living

All we need is the house we live in

And to christen every seat that we sit in

 

A chronicle of you in this first edition

Now every word is yours that I've written

And we're worlds above

To those who claim their faith to love

 

I'll breath with you to match your rhythm

As I lay to gain a glimpse of your giving

And by no means at dopamine's loss

And you will never albatross

 

And you will never be once alone

So take the rope to the cliffs we cross

Let's keep you and I under this glass

And the sun will burn us to ash

 

Let's get closer

Can you take me home on your own?

We're alone

'Til the end

We ride like Bonnie and Clyde 'til the end

 

Let's get closer

Can you take me home on your own?

We're alone

'Til the end

We ride like Bonnie and Clyde 'til the end

 

Let's get closer

Can you take me home on your own?

We're alone

'Til the end

We ride like Bonnie and Clyde 'til the end

 

Let's get closer

Can you take me home on your own?

We're alone

'Til the end

We ride like Bonnie and Clyde 'til the end

 

(We're alone 'til the end)

(We're alone 'til the end)

Enjoy the shift to a closer state (We're alone 'til the end)

Like a thousand shifts in tectonic plates (We're alone 'til the end)

And not once have we paused for thought (We're alone 'til the end)

Or any ride could be cut short (We're alone 'til the end)

Lyrics of “Paper Tiger” by I Am Strikes

Are you afraid of a paper tiger?

Do you wince at the sight of blood?

Do you fight just to light a fire?

Are you living in a pool of mud?

 

If you don't leave now you will never get away

My money's on your heart

We're broke right now but we still got change

My two cents is the start

 

Won't you come my way?

 

Are you a spade in a deck of diamonds

In a cage of the kings and queens?

Will you stand up or watch your life end

While you're down on your fucking knees?

 

The weight of the world

Falls heavy on the backs of the young and restless

We built an army for free

 

Won't you come my way?

 

I found god in a dirty basement

In a face sent from the man above himself

I found the devil in a shroud of white

By a dim church light

 

Won't you come my way?

Won't you make a change?
