Mourning Widows

Mourning Widows was a musical project led by former Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt. The band was formed in 1997, and they released two albums during their career. Despite not being widely released in the United States, both albums were successful in Japan. Bettencourt formed the band after the moderate success of his 1996 solo album, Schizophonic. The band's sound went back to a funkier guitar-driven rock reminiscent of Extreme, while still having post-grunge and alternative influences. After the end of the Furnished Souls For Rent tour, in 2001, Nuno decided to dismiss the band and released a record as Population 1, mostly recorded by himself. That became the name of his new band too, which would later become Dramagods. more »

I got a great big smile 
But I got rotten teeth 
My posture's kinda good 
From my knees to my feet 

And if I cut my hair 
Most people they won't stare 
But if people don't stare, 
Who will care, who will care 

I got me a tattoo, it makes me feel so tough 
If someone would fight me please 
God I need to be touched 
The closest that I get 

To ever feel your kiss 
I get to take a drag off a used cigarette 
Sometimes I think I'm better off dead 
But then if I'm dead, they'll bury my head 

If I can't use my lips, can't kiss the air 
Why kiss the air? 
(Cause it's the air you breathe) 
Sometimes I wish I wish 

I wish that I was sick 
Cause then I would belong to a popular plauge 
Sometimes I wish I wish 
I wish that I was green 

I could fight for my rights, I would march standing tall 
All I wanted was you, all I wanted was you 
But you don't notice me 
You despise, you despise 

Sometimes I think I'm better off dead 
But then if I'm dead, they'll bury my head 
If I can't use my lips, can't kiss the air 
Why kiss the air? 

(Cause it's the air you breathe) 
The closest that I get to ever feel your kiss 
I get to take a drag off a used cigarette 
All I wanted was you 

All I wanted was you 
But you don't notice me 
You despise, You despise 
If all you wanted was 

If all you wanted was life 
You would then recognize me
