DOROTHY – Wicked Ones

This is my contribution to Song Lyric Sunday for Jim Adams’s blog. This week’s prompt…Cruel/Evil/Horrible/Monster/Wicked.

From their 2014 self-titled EP. The song did not make the Billboard charts but did do well on the HypeMachine chart.

From Wikipedia

“Wicked Ones” became the band’s most successful single thus far. It was the number-one trending indie rock song on SoundCloud, peaked at number four on the HypeMachine chart, and was selected by Skullcandy to lead a national ad campaign with James Harden.

Wicked Ones

This night ain’t for the faint of heart
For the faint of heart, for the faint of heart
This night ain’t for the faint of heart
‘Cause the faint of heart gonna fall apart
This night ain’t for the holy man with the holy plan
For the promise land
This night we got the evil hand
And the evil hand gonn’ raise the dead
Ain’t no sleep when the wicked play
All we do is get laid, uuh uh uuh uuh
Ain’t no love when the wicked run
All we do is try to lay off, lay off, lay off
We’re the wicked ones, wicked ones
This night ain’t for the faint of heart
For the faint of heart, for the faint of heart
This night ain’t for the faint of heart
‘Cause when the train wreck comes gonna leave them out
Ain’t no sleep when the wicked play
All we do is get laid, uuh-uh uuh uuh
Ain’t no love when the wicked run
All we do is try to lay off, lay off, lay off
We’re the wicked ones, wicked ones
Ain’t no sleep when the wicked play
All we do is get laid, uuh uh uuh uuh
Ain’t no love when the wicked run
All we do is try to lay off, lay off, lay off
We’re the wicked ones, wicked ones

Dorothy – Ain’t Our Time To Die

From her 2018 album, 28 Days In The Valley. The song did not chart. It sounds a lot like Jefferson Airplane.

From musicexistence.com

“We recorded the old-school way like the Stones did,” shared Martin. “After writing, we did a good amount of pre-production and worked out the energy and vibe of the songs and then we went in and recorded live, usually in just a few takes. Nothing on this record is programmed. It’s raw and real and honest.”

Ain’t Our Time To Die

I’ve been obsessed
Seducing your mind
With all my inner demons
To prove that I’m fine

It ain’t our time to die
‘Cause when a heart
Gets warmer with wine, hm
Got mountains to move
So this better be, the last time
I’ve been bitter and angry, yeah
Can’t be like everyone else
So I hang on, hang on, to the bottom
‘Cause I go down, I go down by myself, no
You’ve got to believe, baby (you’ve got to believe)
You’ve got to believe, (you’ve got to believe) baby
You’ve got to believe me baby, (you’ve got to believe) yeah
You can believe me, baby (you’ve got to believe)
It ain’t our time to die, oh whoa

Dorothy – Down To The Bottom

This is my contribution to Song Lyric Sundayfor Jim Adams’s blog. This week’s prompt…Bottom/End/Middle/Side/Top

The song was released as a single on November 8, 2019.

From Blabbermouth

DOROTHY has released its newest single, “Down To The Bottom”, a stomp-worthy, hard-rock anthem dripping with soul and attitude. Co-written by Dorothy Martin, Mark Jackson, Ian Scott and the legendary Linda Perry (Adele, Alicia Keys, Cristina Aguilera), the track’s lyrics and production combined with front-woman Dorothy Martin‘s powerhouse vocals are nothing short of adrenaline-inducing.

“Working with Linda Perry on ‘Down To The Bottom’ was an amazing experience because she pulls the truest songwriter out of each artist,” Dorothy Martin says. “Plus she plays every instrument under the sun and is just a total badass!”

Down To The Bottom

Baby I need light, I need fire
I need to know, that I’m alive
I need love, baby I need love
I need love
Take me down everybody down
Take me down down to the bottom
Take me down everybody down
Take me down down to the bottom
Baby I need hale, she calls my name
Out in the desert, I pray for rain
I need love, baby I need love
I need love
Take me down everybody down
Take me down down to the bottom
Take me down everybody down
Take me down down to the bottom
Take me down everybody down
Take me down down to the bottom
Take me down everybody down
Take me down down to the bottom
Way down
Way down
Way down
Way down
Take me down everybody down
Take me down down to the bottom
Take me down everybody down
Take me down down to the bottom
Take me down everybody down
Take me down down to the bottom
Take me down everybody down
Take me down down to the bottom
I need love, I need your love
Hey, yeah, yeah
Hey, I, I, I, oh

Dorothy – Gun In My Hand

This is my contribution to Song Lyric Sunday for Jim Adams blog. The theme is Cowboy/Gun/Hat/Horse/Western

From her 2016 album Rockisdead, The song never charted.

Gun In My Hand

Why did love put a gun in my hand?
Why did love put a gun in my hand?
Why did love put a gun in my hand?
In my bed, in my head, in my hand
Was it for redemption?
Was it for revenge?
Was it for the bottle?
Was it for the ledge?
Was it for the thrill of pushing my hope to the edge?
Why did love, why did love put a gun in my hand?
Why did love, why did love put a gun in my hand?
[Verse 2]
Why did love put a knife in my heart?
Why did love open up my scars?
Why did love put a knife in my heart?
In my bed, in my head, in my heart
Was it for redemption?
Was it for revenge?
Was it for the bottle?
Was it for the ledge?
Was it for the thrill of pushing my hope to the edge?
Why did love, why did love put a gun in my hand?
Why did love, why did love
Why did love put a gun in my hand?
(Why did love, why did love, why did love)
Put a gun in my hand (why did love, why did love)
Why did love put a gun in my hand?
Whoa in my hand
Oh, was it for redemption?
Was it for revenge?
Was it for the bottle?
Was it for the ledge? (Who-oa)
Was it for the thrill of pushing my hope to the edge?
Why did love, why did love put a gun in my hand?
Ooh, in my hand
Why did love, why did love put a gun in my hand?
