The B-52's
The B-52s (styled as The B-52's prior to 2008) are an American new wave band, formed in Athens, Georgia in 1976. The original line-up consisted of Fred Schneider (vocals, percussion, keyboards), Kate Pierson (organ, keyboards, bass, vocals), Cindy Wilson (vocals, bongos, tambourine), Ricky Wilson (guitars, bass), and Keith Strickland (drums, guitars, keyboards, synthesizers, various instruments). Following Ricky Wilson's death in 1985, Strickland switched full-time to guitar. The band subsequently added various musicians for their live shows. This included Sara Lee or Tracy Wormworth (bass), Zachary Alford or Sterling Campbell (drums, percussion) and Pat Irwin or Paul Gordon (keyboards & guitars).
Rooted in new wave and 1960s rock and roll, the group later covered many genres ranging from post-punk to pop rock. The "guy vs. gals" vocals of Schneider, Pierson, and Wilson, sometimes used in call and response style ("Strobe Light," "Private Idaho", and "Good Stuff"), are a trademark. The group is also notable for almost all of its members being openly gay (Cindy Wilson is the lone exception).

Clash Of Lips
by: Poppy PawsI said for a reason about what you do. I said for a reason why I'm confused about you.
Saying shit, yeah you don't want me. Then saying bitch, I'mma turn on.
Your contradicting yourself babe, contradicting. Say one thing then fuck around doing the opposite.
Well fuck you cunt, I know your something special but you know it good and you're using it to your advantage.
Think you're clever huh? Or pure doing what you want? Do you have any feelings or care for those who do?
I know you do but not always like to show it. I can't tell anyone though, we are now friends.
I thought we kinda were, and thought we'd always be.
Clearly we are on the wrong page, when the big headed one decided, she wanted more with him.
Something along with love.
Something all touchy touch.
Something to do with the lips clashing before.
But HA! He were wrong.
La la la la la
I don't wanna be with you
La la la la la
Neither do I
I want a nice friendship, and if this odd lust continues, I might wanna fuck you wonderful.
Or play around freely.
Maybe if you didn't ask me "Why does this always happen?"
I may have moved on but you're so amazing I'm still bleedin' thinking.
I've worried you have I?
WHY IS THAT?
You've missed me eh?
WHY IS THAT?
Your hands are on me..
WHY THE FUCK IS THAT?!
And you're rubbing your nose on mine in the cute way.
Trying to act sweet.
Pulling me in for the kill, you pulled me in but you killed me last month.
Now I can't stop thinking about you. Do I take revenge or won't you care?
Basically you say I'm just attractive but is it you who wants more?
La la la la la
I don't wanna relationship
La la la la la
Neither do I
I want you.
But I don't want a relationship.
I want to own you.
But not to be own-owned.
I said for a reason about what you do. I said for a reason why I'm confused about you.
I said for a reason about what you do. I said for a reason why I'm confused about you.
I said for a reason about what you do. I said for a reason why I'M CONFUSED ABOUT YOU.
I SAID FOR A REASON ABOUT WHAT YOU DO! I SAID FOR A REASON WHY I'M CONFUSED ABOUT YOU!
CONFUSED ABOUT YOUU!
Yeah sure thing you're pretty hot, but simpleness ain't what you got.
I had to ask earlier how do you tell when you're falling in love?
Response was well if you get butterflies it's a start.
Yeah I get that pretty trash but it's a buzz not something heart ache hard.
Hate being called sugar sweety baby sugar? I hate the fact you're a faggot!
Not literally but you know what I mean.
I'm not being insulting I'm just simply keen.
To know what you want.
You're a lying cunt, the things you've said to me.
Happily mixed up set-up emotions, I hate you cause I want you.
And you're so hard to fucking get.
Oh Woaaah woaaah.
La la la la la
I don't wanna get with you
La la la la la
