HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "labels" is not recognized
45 Grave are an American gothic and punk rock band from Los Angeles, California formed in 1979. The original group broke up in 1985 but vocalist Dinah Cancer subsequently revived the band. 45 Grave are noted as one of the first bands to mix punk rock with horror-themed lyrics, thereby positioning them as progenitors of the horror punk subgenre. Their unique appearance and morbid theatricality also distinguished them as innovators of goth rock as well as "deathrock," a term used to identify a subgenre of punk rock incorporating horror elements and spooky atmospherics.
History
The band was founded by Paul B. Cutler in Los Angeles, California during the punk rock movement, formed alongside another band with almost the same lineup called Vox Pop, which produced two singles. Its original lineup consisted of Dinah Cancer (formerly of Castration Squad) on vocals, Cutler (formerly of The Consumers) on guitar, Rob Ritter (also known as Rob Graves, formerly of Bags and concurrently of The Gun Club) on bass, and Don Bolles (of Germs and Nervous Gender) on drums. The name, according to Bolles, derives from a mysterious button he found at a thrift store that said "WE DIG 45 GRAVE".

Slice O' Life
by: 45 GraveLivin in a nightmare
I wake up and you're still there
Gonna tell you what to do
Gonna turn the screw
I'm wearing my coonskin cap
Cause you know that's where it's at
The good, the bad, and the bloody
Never on Sunday
My mom had a bad dream
She was eating coffee ice cream
I was in a nightmare
With fuzzy wuzzy hair
You'll be home now
Where everything's just the way you like
You'll be home now
Everything's just mighty nice
You'll be home now
With ice cream and candy and good things to eat
You'll be home now
You're so nice, you're very sweet
You say you developed a taste
For the flesh of your own race
You're a bloodthirsty butcher man
With a french-fried hand
You'll be home now
Where everything's gonna be alright
You'll be home now
It's nice to take your time
You'll be home now
Sit down, relax, and just watch TV
You'll be home now
If I was you, then you'd be me
You'll be home now
