lyrics

Verses (A/E)
Ma baby throwed me outta that door
She say ah don’t want you no more
Fact ah never liked ya – anywaaay
Git outta here be on your way

Ma boss throwed me offa ma job
He say ah might as well a hired me a dawg
Ah get more work from a – alley cat
Git outta here an don’t come back

Chorus (E/A & up to B)
(Hey Hey Hey)
Ah’m a Reject, Baby
(Hey Hey Hey)
Ah’m a Reject, Honey
Ain’t nobody want me around
Gonna jump in the harbour an’ drown

(Verse A/E)
Ma teacher throwed me outta the school
She say you just a damn ignorant fool
Ah sees no evidence of any brain cells
Don’t bother waitin’ for the bell

Middle bit (E/F#/A)
Ah’m a Reject (back & lead vox both)
Nobody want me around
Ah’m a Reject (back & lead vox both)


(Lead Break As Chorus)

(Verses A/E)
Dam warden throwed me outta the jail
Ah said hey man – I didn’t give you no bail
He said now boy - you just don’t git the point
The cons done paid me - to bust you out the joint
Ma group throwed me outta the band
You play the drums like you got - 2 left hands
You cain’t sing and you looks like A.Dick
You better leave here pretty quick

(Chorus Repeat)

Middle bit chord sequence (E/F#/A) repeat…
(Ah’m a Reject)
Yeah Nobody want me around
(Ah’m a Reject)
Well ah jumped in that harbour to drown
(Ah’m a Reject)
But the harbour done threw back ma ass
(Ah’m a Reject)
An Engie’s won’t sell me no gas
(Ah’m a Reject)
An T*mmy N*c*lson’s won’t sell me no match
(Ah’m a Reject)
An Al Cr*e won’t sell me dis-patch
(Ah’m a Reject)
An K*nny Fr*ggan’s won’t sell me no pills
(Ah’m a Reject)
An Sp*rtsworld won’t sell me no shells
(Ah’m a Reject)
An’ the Cr*fters’ won’t sell me no rope
(Ah’m a Reject)
An them Seceders won’t sell me no hope
(Ah’m a Reject)
An the Wearhouse won’t sell me no

about

Memphis Louie & The Rockin' Firebird Of Death Sandwick, UK

Emerging after 18 years of silence from the ashes of the Outer Hebrides' 60s garage band scene (which happened in the 80s), MLATRFOD formed in 2003 in the cac filled swamps between Stornoway and Sandwick. They've been mixing up a mess of fuzztone-crazed garage psych, Link Wrayabilly and glacial post punk ever since, and taking their time about it. Their names are too long to fit in a Bandcamp bio ... more
