Black Rose

Black Rose was released on the single of Summer, making it one of Living Targets' many B-sides. It's a country parody of Shut Up Stand Up, which has surprisingly been played live a handful of times. Its first performance dates back to an unknown Uncle Sally*s event in 1999.

The song was recorded during their first session in Cologne during late 2000 and was produced by Uwe Sabirowsky.

[Verse 1]

I quit

This conversation

You're right and I am done

I think you make

Yourself a victim

There's nothing good enough

[Verse 2]

There's only one

One colour

A deep grey and a bitter taste

You don't know

You don't know what's there if you don't try

[Chorus]

(You are the black rose)

Shut up stand up

You are the black rose

[Verse 3]

I quit

This conversation

You don't let your feelings show

I don't know

I don't know what you got inside

[Bridge]

You are the black rose

Shut up stand up

You are the black rose

Shut up stand up

Check it, check it, check it, check it

[Verse 3]

By the way I wanna have a good time with you

It's Friday night and I wanna go out

I need some air and a place to go

So won't you shut the fuck up
