Deathcar

About Deathcar

"Deathcar" is the third single from Fightstar's second album One Day Son, This Will All Be Yours, and was released on 3 December 2007. One of the most brutal songs on the album, it includes prolonged screaming vocals and heavy guitar work. It was inspired by a harrowing news item on Chinese human meat wagons — as well as the end of Simpson's relationship. "Deathcars are these vans the Chinese have and, if they need an organ donor for someone, then they execute death-row prisoners in the vans and bring the organs to accident victims," explains Simpson. "I heard about them on the news at the same time as I heard that my ex-girlfriend was going out with someone new. I've sort of merged him and the deathcar together. I'm driving and he's in the back...." This audio format features a CD on one side and a vinyl on the other, building a bridge between both analog and digital audio on a single format. Fightstar have taken the honour of releasing the first record on the VinylDisc format in the UK. The limited edition single includes the title track, plus 3 extra exclusive tracks. "99" was recorded at the band's sold-out show at London's Koko, the two other tracks "Nerv/Seele" and "Shinji lkari" are new tracks recorded specifically for this release and both are inspired by and take their names from the classic anime Neon Genesis Evangelion. Only 4000 copies were manufactured. Another track, "Deathcar — Live at Koko" is available as a download exclusively for iTunes. more »

Drive
You're not going to be prepared for this
You've left a trail of red and crossed it on your front door,
And now I'm here
So, you're the first thing on my list of things to do today

Follow me outside and I'll
Feed those hungry eyes of yours

So bring out the deathcar and we'll drive tonight
You're only making this worse, ahh
So bring out the deathcar and we'll sleep tonight
Just say the words and this will all end right now

Let's close the door, and start the fun,
I really do hope you're comfortable
I'll strap you down and choose my tool because,
First the arms and then the eyes I'll leave the hands
I know you touched her with them
You make me fucking sick

Swallow your last breath of air,
Feel your lips grow cold,

So bring out the deathcar and we'll drive tonight
You're only making this worse, ahh
So bring out the deathcar and we'll sleep tonight
Just say the words and this will all end right now

You drove me to this
How will I ever stop?
I'm addicted to kill,
As much as I am to you

So bring out the deathcar and we'll drive tonight
You're only making this worse
So here's to the deathcar, we will feast tonight
Just say the words and this will all end

Now you can see how it feels!

Fightstar

Fightstar are an English alternative rock band from London, formed in 2003. The band's lineup comprises lead vocalist, guitarist and keyboardist Charlie Simpson, guitarist and vocalist Alex Westaway, bassist Dan Haigh and drummer Omar Abidi. Although generally considered a post-hardcore band, Fightstar are also known to implement metal, progressive and acoustic elements into the band's sound. During the band's initial emergence, they were faced with much scepticism due to Simpson's former pop career. However, they began to receive positive reactions to early live shows and their debut EP, They Liked You Better When You Were Dead (2005) was a critical success. Since then, their three studio albums have obtained top 40 chartings and critical praise. Fightstar's… more »
