THE RAMONES "Poison Heart" LIVE at Argentina

"Poison Heart" is the 1992 single by the Ramones written by ex-bassist Dee Dee Ramone. It has a different pace to normal Ramones works. It was given to the band in exchange for bailing Dee Dee out of jail. The song was also included in the film Pet Sematary Two (1992). The song's video was directed by Samuel Bayer. The Ramones had a broad and lasting influence on the development of popular music. THE RAMONES The Ramones were an American punk rock band that formed in the New York City neighborhood of Forest Hills, Queens, in 1974. They are often cited as the first band to define the punk rock sound. Despite achieving only limited commercial success, the band was a major influence on the 1970s punk movement in both the United States and United Kingdom. All of the band members adopted pseudonyms ending with the surname "Ramone", although none of them were related. They performed 2,263 concerts, touring virtually nonstop for 22 years. In 1996, after a tour with the Lollapalooza music festival, the band played a farewell concert and disbanded. By 2014, all four of the band's original members—lead singer Joey Ramone (1951–2001), guitarist Johnny Ramone (1948–2004), bassist Dee Dee Ramone (1951–2002) and drummer Tommy Ramone (1949–2014)—had died. Recognition of the band's importance built over the years, and they are now mentioned in many assessments of all-time great rock music, such as the Rolling Stone list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". The Ramones' art and visual imagery complemented the themes of their music and performance. The band members adopted a uniform look of long hair, leather jackets, T-shirts, torn jeans, and sneakers. This fashion emphasized minimalism, which was a powerful influence on the New York punk scene of the 1970s and reflected the band's short, simple songs. "it remains one of the few records that changed pop forever." Jon Savage "The band's first four albums set the blueprint for punk, especially American punk and hardcore, for the next two decades."Stephen Erlewine Phil Strongman writes, "In purely musical terms, the Ramones, in attempting to re-create the excitement of pre-Dolby rock, were to cast a huge shadow—they had fused a blueprint for much of the indie future." Douglas Wolk described the Ramones as "easily the most influential group of the last 30 years." RAMONES LYRICS "Poison Heart" 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.
