Song of the Day – Screaming Trees “All I know”

Today’s song is a an alternative rock band from Washington called “The Screaming Trees”. I have loved the Trees since I discovered college radio back in the early 90’s. This track is off their 96 album titled “Dust”, the song “All I know” is about “the one that got away”.

Screaming Trees – All That Know

Lyrics and Band info after the jump.

Lyrics – from Lyricsfreak.com

Bite the thorn that pierce the skin
Come back down to earth again
The cold is creeping deep inside
You disconnect the telephone line

Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Get away
Gotta get away
fore the lord gonna make me stay

All that I know
Shoulda been
Coulda been
Mine

I killed the last way out of this
Persuaded by a deceitful kiss

That said you better stay
Said you better stay
Better stay
Said you better stay
fore its all gone
Gone away

All that I know…(repeat)

Bite the thorn that pierce the skin
Come back down to earth again
The cold is creeping deep inside
You disconnect the telephone line

Gotta get away….
fore I lose my mind
Said you better stay…
fore its all gone
Gone away

All that I know…(repeat)

About the band from Wikipedia

Screaming Trees was an American rock band formed in Ellensburg, Washington in 1985 by vocalist Mark Lanegan, guitarist Gary Lee Conner and bass player Van Conner. Although widely associated with grunge music, the band’s sound incorporates hard rock and psychedelic elements. Since its formation, Screaming Trees has released seven studio albums, five EPs and three compilations.

Screaming Trees rose to fame as part of the grunge movement of the early 1990s, along with bands such as Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Nirvana and Soundgarden. It was one of the most successful underground music acts of the 1990s. The band achieved one top ten single on the Modern Rock Tracks charts.

Screaming Trees had been plagued by extended inactivity due to their problems with making a follow up to Dust. This led to their official breakup in 2000.
