Title: Vengeance (with Alt 2nd verse?)
Post by: dzangger on August 07, 2019, 11:45:26 PM

Hello.  I came across a link that shows some alternate lyrics to Vengeance.  I've been a huge fan since 1984 and don't think I've ever heard these lyrics.  Have these ever been recorded?  If so, where might I hear this version?

Loading up the barrels at the warehouse gates
Men in overalls on double rates
Put the stuff in the river and away for a beer
Don't worry too much, they don't live around here
And the poison seeps into every pore
Every child's eyes, every innocent's sore
Everybody knows behind the closed doors
Kick down the doors, kick down the doors

Thank you!

Welcome dzangger!

I don't know at the moment if this is the only recorded version, but on the
Justin Sullivan & Dave Blomberg - Big Guitars in little Europe (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10V6AXPg9Zk[/url) live cd he sings those chorus.

Another welcome to dzangger!  Post often, about anything at all... this is a welcoming place!

I haven't listened to BGILE for a long while, but cthulhu is usually spot-on about these things and I do have a vague recollection of those lyrics... damn, I must dig out my copy of BGILE, I know it's around my immensely untidy flat somewhere!   ;)

I wish that would get issued on vinyl. Since it was released in 1995 it only exists digitally, and I've long-since stopped buying CDs.

Thank you all for the warm welcome.  It's nice to be around people who love and respect NMA.  Most of the time I get blank stares from people.  New Model what? 

Cthulhu was absolutely right.  That version of Vengeance is on BGILE.  I didn't even think of looking at Justin's work.  I'm listening to the music now.  Just incredible!

Thank you all so much.
