Na-na-na-now
At least then I'm all rested.
I can't deny
I won't let that harm man in
It won't be long now,
Still warming you up.
I can't believe
Enough you Band-Aid girl
Holding me high
You stand there all laugh and
It wont be long 'til I'm holding you more distant
And I got the fever of your ridicule.
Oh, oh.
Time for the pill
In your faulty stomach, you.
Give in my heart
Cross lines with the vial on you.
It wont be long 'til I'm holding you, mouldy stump
And I got the front of all your ridicule
Oh, oh.
At least then I'm all rested.
I can't deny
I won't let that harm man in
It won't be long now,
Still warming you up.
I can't believe
Enough you Band-Aid girl
Holding me high
You stand there all laugh and
It wont be long 'til I'm holding you more distant
And I got the fever of your ridicule.
Oh, oh.
Time for the pill
In your faulty stomach, you.
Give in my heart
Cross lines with the vial on you.
It wont be long 'til I'm holding you, mouldy stump
And I got the front of all your ridicule
Oh, oh.
Up The Dumper
The Melvins' "Up The Dumper" stands as a quintessential example of their signature sludge metal sound, characterized by a heavy, chugging riff structure and a distinctive, often vocal-heavy delivery. Released during the band's prolific era in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the track exemplifies the genre's raw energy and rhythmic intensity. As a staple of their discography, the song reflects the band's influence on the broader alternative and grunge movements, cementing their reputation for creating music that prioritizes visceral impact over technical precision. The recording captures the chaotic, hypnotic quality that defined The Melvins' contribution to the underground rock scene of their time.
