Happy Sunday folks! What's up? I'm still in a bit of a low point, but hey, I need to pick myself up every now and then, right?

Today's featured song is inspired by my sister's profile pic at FaceBook. Her current picture shows four panels with the word: RAMONES! in the middle. At first, I had to scratch my head and think, "is there a new band that has ridden on the coattails of The Ramones' trail blaze of glory?" See, you must understand my confusion because my sister is not exactly well versed when it comes to music. I don't think she even knows a lot of the greats. New generation of music lovers and all. Apparently, what she meant was the same group I have known since forever. :) Here goes my song for today!

Featured song: "Poison Heart" by The Ramones [1992] (Punk rock)








The song was written by the band's ex-bassist Dee Dee Ramone, and is known for being the song that has a different beat than their usual songs.

The song sounds a bit sad but still appeals to me a lot. Although this song is not as well known as their more popular track, "I Wanna Be Sedated," it kinda echoes my state where I "just want to walk right out of this world..." Oh just check out the lyrics below, okay?

Did you know that Dee Dee Ramone offered this song in exchange for the band's bailing him out of jail? No? Well, now you know! :)

Lyrics:

No one ever thought this one would survive
Helpless child, gonna walk a drum beat behind
Lock you in a dream, never let you go
Never let you laugh or smile, not you.

Well, I just want to walk right out of this world,
'Cause everybody has a poison heart
I just want to walk right out of this world,
'Cause everybody has a poison heart.

Making friends with a homeless torn up man
He just kind of smiles, it really shakes me up.
There's danger on every corner but I'm okay
Walking down the street trying to forget yesterday.

Well, I just want to walk right out of this world,
'Cause everybody has a poison heart.
I just want to walk right out of this world,
'Cause everybody has a poison heart,
a poison heart, a poison heart, a poison heart ... yeah!

You know that life really takes its toll
And a poet's gut reaction is to search his very soul
So much damn confusion before my eyes,
But nothing seems to phase me and this one still survives.

I just want to walk right out of this world,
'Cause everybody has a poison heart.
I just want to walk right out of this world,
'Cause everybody has a poison heart,
Well, I just want to walk right out of this world,
'Cause everybody has a poison heart.
a poison heart, a poison heart, a poison heart.
a poison heart, a poison heart, a poison heart.
